Growth,Over-shoot & danger of collapse
Growth > Overshoot
Not just climate change – “peak everything”:
‘Peak’ fossil fuels… Depleting mineral resources… Soil erosion… Soil compaction… Loss of soil nutrients… Salinisation… Deforestation… Draining of wetlands … Paving over open land… Subsidence… Eutrophication… Aquifer drainage… ‘Dry’ rivers… Water pollution… Acidification… Toxic & Radioactive contamination… Overflowing landfills… Exhausted fisheries ……………………………………………
and ‘Biodevastation’
Note:synergies between many of them, making each worse
Cheap & secure oil plus other critical minerals
More slices of the planettaken by people
the less for ‘non-people’
