Is Mother Earth worth 3% of global economic productivity by 2030
apparently US officials say that stabilizing CO2 emissions (around 535ppm) sufficiently to prevent more than a 2 degree temperature increase could lead to a global recession: “no world leader will pursue a strategy that would lead to economic recession.”
I wonder if that is really true? i wonder if the people of this world will see that if we want the concept of economic prosperity to continue to exist, we are rather dependent on an environment that is supportive of life… we are required to find better balance with our environment. It is not an option. It is not an economic trade off. Either we decide to find a gentle balance or we will face strife and natural disasters and repercussions stemming from over consumption and over combustion… It is simple and obvious.
