"The first commandment of economics is: Grow. Grow forever. Companies get bigger. National economies need to swell by a certain percent each year. People should want more, make more, earn more, spend more - ever more.
The first commandment of the Earth is: enough. Just so much and no more. Just so much soil. Just so much water. Just so much sunshine. Everything born of the Earth grows to its appropriate size and then stops."
The climate catastrophism evinced as premise for this article is based upon a scientism which has closed its ranks against realizing the broader picture of scientific observance, relying upon interdependent modelers’ whose conception of the varied dynamics of the earth-sun is intentionally limited. That the belief structure relies upon censorship, out-grouping and numerous logical fallacies to support the flawed conclusions of anthropogenic climate affect is very telling and ought to alarm. The efforts to fixate upon such fictions detract from attention better paid to more pressing concerns of survival. The planet has been just fine with far more CO2 than it sports at the moment. Vastly complex is Nature, and we are creatures within its scope, confounded by well funded and skilled manipulators of thought and behaviour, misdirecting attention from a gradual concentration of global governance and hegemony. Censorship is never scientific, nor truth abiding. That ought to be enough of a red flag. Read some Vaclav Smil, listen to some Realclimatescience dot com for data driven information. God bless and thank you.
The little people dying still won’t get the Powers That Be interested in supporting an appropriate response to climate change. Doing so is incompatible with neoliberalism.
Which is to say that expecting any top down solution is futile. The closest thing to a solution is people taking individual responsibility as much and as best as possible. Top down solutions aren’t coming in any meaningful way. But that, again, is no reason not to act ourselves.

It seems nothing meaningful can be done without collapsing economies.
