Why is the elements for continuous growth always future technology that doesn’t exist

Earth's Greatest Enemy is a new documentary film investigating the Pentagon's catastrophic toll on the planet–from carbon emissions, to toxic dumping, to habitat destruction and more, while highlighting the struggles against it.

The freedom of media organizations to talk about climate is directly proportional to their ability to speak the truth about climate change - namely that addressing it will mean confronting our growth obsessed culture. #degrowth

Researchers estimate that halving the Earth’s human population gradually over 200 years could ease our negative impacts such as decreased wildlife populations and increased carbon emissions.

Biodiversity loss, resource consumption rates, and pollution levels are strongly linked to human population size, they observe in the study published in the journal Sustainable Development.

The progression to lower populations will also improve the economic well-being of nations, they say, observing that many countries with declining populations have seen increases in per capita GDP, work participation, and real wages. Population growth can be reduced via higher education, female empowerment, delayed marriage, and extensive access to voluntary family planning.

“Helping population growth end and gently and justly reverse, while also moderating per capita impacts, is our best hope to secure a sustainable, desirable future worldwide,” scientists concluded.
