‘Earth Overshoot Day’: Humans surpass what Earth can produce in a year • FRANCE 24 English

[@cageybee7221]

who would have thought that constant waste, intentional destruction to keep prices high, and an obsession with year over year growth whether it's needed or not would lead to us running out of things?

[@Redf322]

Marx said this would happen over a hundred years ago. Fair taxation and a fair wage is not an extreme view. The state has to control some industries to combat this.

[@gamingtonight1526]

Individual countries cannot control multinational corporations. You need a world government for that. But as soon as you say "World Government" people go crazy!

It’s tragic and impressive that humans recognized the problem but did not quite get there in time. That said, most humans will survive but we’ll lose too much lovely nature and biodiversity.

It's the jobs It's the economies It's the political ideologies. It's the freedom of "wealth" to stuff our mouths and buying a convertible SUV

[@gamingtonight1526]

Only a small minority of humans will survive in 50+ years, maybe 200 million....

The result of a financial system that is based on Profit....every year. It is Impossible... So these are the results of Capitalism.

[@guidestone1392]

More broadly they're the result of Western Civilization and it's obsession with power.

How can you guys say this,Are you the creator of the earth?

[@Redf322]

Science.

[@marilenaganea6578]

So we should ask gravity (that's the creator of the earth) or you have some imaginary friend we should all ask and believe?
