Economic growth is incompatible with sustainability

[dfens]

You can't have your cake and it too.

Debt based economic growth, infinite population growth, production and commodification of all resources - all of these you environmentalists support.

And all of these are absolutely incompatible with any notion of sustainability or environmental stewardship.

You talk about climate change this, climate change that, but you will never address the core model. You just focus on more unrealistic techno fixes, and claim that anybody who sees through them is some sort of wacko denier or pessimist.

I see through your hypocrisy and overall lack of understanding which betrays the fact that you never got much of an education in critical thinking.

Two words...

BULL SHIT!

It is very feasible to have growth and reasonable regulations.. Only a one world government socialist would say that they are not compatible..

More UN Agenda 21 bull shit of we need to kill off 2/3 of the populace crap..Tell me, are you going to volunteer to be killed?

It depends on your definition of sustainability.

Economic growth based on the exploitation of resources shortens the longevity of humanity. Under conscious based growth models, we can keep ourselves going for quite a long time.

Is kinda funny that progressives bow at the alter of Keynesianism which has never worked in the history of the world and which brings laughable growth rates and keeps renewable energy spinning its wheels in the mud now for 10 years. Fucking duh........these dolts never learn. Heres a certainty.........if GDP rates continue to be 1%-2% renewables will continue to be a joke for decades. Not even debatable.........they figure to double down on high taxes and mega regulations but then they'll eventually get their asses thrown the fuck out of elective office. They tried it in Europe and now they are all getting reputidated by the voters and fossil fuels have made a huge comeback in the past 3 years.

But progressives..........they of course, are smarter than everybody else!! Until over time you see their shit never, ever works!!

BTW....see last weekends NY Times article on the death of leftism in South America........fuckers are soon to be fossils for decades!!
