Eco-Collapse Hasn't Happened Yet, But You Can See It Coming.
- Authors
COX, STAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the warnings from scientists about the impending ecological collapse and the need for urgent action. It references a book from 1972 called "The Limits to Growth," which predicted declines in industrial output, food production, and population due to resource depletion, pollution, and crop failures. The article highlights the current state of the world, with industrial and food production peaking and declines predicted. It also discusses the need to address the overconsumption of resources, the role of wealthy nations in resource extraction, and the importance of reducing inequality for both ecological and social well-being. The article concludes by mentioning the degrowth movement and the need for policies that prioritize essential goods and services, phase out fossil fuels, and promote a more sustainable future.
