you're ecologically illiterate

If you think collapse is secondary to growth your shit is gonna get rocked by the next 20-30 years.

There’s nothing else to say to you.

Good luck.

My entire point is that NO ONE should be living this high consumption lifestyle, but your point is that EVERYONE should.

Your way, everyone dies. My way, everyone lives simpler lives, but at least the biosphere doesn't collapse by 2060.

Also, you don't seem to understand that even green growth is an ecological disaster. There's no point getting emissions to 0 if we've destroyed ecosystems to do it. We've totally overextended in terms of ground water, top soil, fishing stocks, novel entities, land-system change and biochemical flows. These planetary boundaries, if continuously overshot, are enough to destroy us, even if emissions go to zero and atmospheric CO2 goes back to 350ppm.

I'm simply stating a fact that developing countries developing will doom the world. The US, Europe etc already living with air travel, heating/cooling, cars, meat-rich diets, high-consumption etc has caused this much damage, how do you think the world will fare with 8 billion living at that level? The answer is total systems collapse.

And don't quote the 100 companies statistic, since those companies are what facilitate our lifestyles.

No one will be living in the future when the entire biosphere collapses and temperatures at 2deg above pre-industrial.

And India is opening 80 new airports in the next 5 years, despite air travel being an environmental nightmare.

Great.
