What 'ism is congruent with degrowth? I get it, the author hates capitalism, and with good reason. Naming his demon, directly, isn't as useful as he thinks. People don't move away from Capitalism as much as they move toward something else. What is that something else?

Not again in my lifetime. (Presumably a lot longer than 4 years)

Location: Canada.

After watching a favourite youtube clip from the show The Newsroom with the EPA spokesperson

The Newsroom

The very next autoplay video is this bit of disinformation.

Conversations That Matter

Warning that second video is brutally stupid. The comments even more so.

Google and you tube can eat my ass.

Like yelling fire in a crowded theatre. No politician is going to do it until they are out of the theatre. Antonio Gutterez, the UN secretary general is as close as we've come.

Still, through /r/collapse and the popularizers on you tube, the message is out. Everybody with the capacity to know already knows with the exception of children who are still developing the capacity to understand. Even a lot of children know where we stand.

What a mess we have made for ourselves. There isn't enough cotton, hemp, wool and leather to supply all of humanity with clothing. Every poyester blend shirt, sock and sweater sheds microplastics into the environment with every wash.

Car tires wearing away contribute the most, ev or not.

Our single use packaging food system creates an enourmous endless stream of plastics.

It's but one facet of many of our demise.

You clearly didn't follow the air quality sensor construction and usage instructions correctly. ;)
