Let’s see if I’ve got it right?
……………
The best of reputable ecological scientists and their very thorough on-going studies & analysis of local & global systems data say …
o given limitations of the laws of physics and biology, we are virtually limited to this Eaarth and the daily solar energy arriving each day,
o with our human growth we have now overshot the limits of the (sustainable) carrying capacity of an Earth of dynamic homeostatic symbioses (or “Nature”) including humans,
o with our artificial growth we are drawing down on the natural resource base of Eaarth,
o our current way of living with increasing anthropocentric growth is causing unprecedented rapid global climate change over Eaarth, largely because of our continuing high (input/throughput/output) artificial transformation of energy, mostly fossil solar energy,
o because of human economic growth* there is loss of biodiversity and loss of native photosynthesizers at rates on Earth rivaling any other period of human existence … and life-destructive loss of topsoil, appropriate hydrological & atmospheric conditions, and appropriate capture of daily arriving solar energy with natural photosynthesizers, … and as aforementioned there is out-of-control global climate change,
(*More specifically, as a result of continual increases in harvesting & agrilogistical, manufacturing & developmental, concreting- & asphalting-over, and recreational [rampant artificializing] actions.)
o and there is a continuation of tremendous disparity among humans (even getting greater) on Eaarth with resultant very unhealthy psychological & sociological stresses, disruptive migrations, and War.
………….
In spite of all this for the most part we are not dealing with …
–economic growth (i.e., transitioning to necessary degrowth economics)
–growth of human and domesticated species population numbers,
–increasing growth of human transformation of energy,
–the need for real reduction of direct and indirect fossil energy usage in the future, …
–the need to truly profoundly & holistically follow the Golden Rule and care and share.
…………….
(In fact, in the case of economic growth, we continually
set goals for; strategically & tactically plan and act, monitor for; educate and indoctrinate towards;
and wish hard for
MORE, MORE, MORE!!!???)
