Growth Death Cult
โAll growth requires more consumption, which requires mining more non-renewable materials and more energy, which is unsustainable. On a planet on the verge of multiple tipping points, the extraction required to even begin to replace fossil fuels would be suicidal. To decarbonise, managed degrowth is our only possible option. โGreen growthโ just replaces fossil fuels with renewable energy and traps us in this spiral of environmental damage.โ
