It amazes me that there are millions of people chatting about the football game, or their favorite celebrity, meanwhile there are only a handful of people discussing the future survival of civilization.

Like the idea of the Progress Trap, excellent. Not sure that indigenous Buffalo Jumps are implicated in the near extinction of the bison.

Yes, we cannot continue to grow our economies and populations.China is the modern classic example of this, having progressed from a near-primitive agrarian society 35 years ago to the world's largest producer of things and the world's largest polluter.We are perplexed by the green movement's strange silence. Ronald Wright is a very interesting man. China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide gas in the world, with 10,668 million metric tons emitted in 2020. The U.S. The U.S. is the second-largest emitter of CO2, with 4,713 million metric tons of total carbon dioxide emissions in 2020.

Keep in mind that a big proportion of that terrible pollution in China comes from big multinational western corporations that have set up big factories (like Tesla's giga-factory) over there to manufacture our laptops, cars, iPhones and most everything else we ourselves create a demand for. So in fact, the West is exporting it's own pollution to China, like it used to with it's own trash/rubbish in shipping containers, until China decided to put an end to it.

I thought it was great until he got into it about "climate change deniers". I guess there it is not possible to even question things any more. If you do you're bad. I was surprised when he said that.
