    For the lazy

    According to their models, the researchers conclude: “The human enterprise currently demands 1.56 times more than the amount that Earth can regenerate.”

    So what's going to fix that? Reducing usage of resources by one third or reducing human population by one third? Socialism or barbarism?

        Presumably just ending planned obsolescence would do a fucking lot for the over-consumption in the wealthy core.

      Not to mention that 1.56 is the human average. You have folks in the global south who are maybe operating at like .75 while Americans are like 4 or 5 (making those numbers up).
