    Never mind, carry on as usual, we need more economic GROWTH.

    Plastic and other waste filling our oceans, ending up in the food chain, as also consumed by fish:

    Never mind, we need consumption, more growth, more economic growth.

    Climate change threat worse than expected:

    Come on, who cares, we need more economic growth, the markets are growing also, more consumers, more workers, more of everything.

    Soil erosion and degradation:
    https://www.worldwildlife.org/threats/soil-erosion-and-degradation

    Come on, can’t be that bad, we need more economic growth, growth in GDP and consumption.

    Deforestation:

    Ahem, can’t be that bad, people need to live, move on, nothing there to see, we need more growth.

    Fish stock depletion:

    Must be scare mongering, right? We have plenty of fish in the sea, I was told, so we need more growth, more fish found around Antarctica, I heard last.

    The above is just a snap shot of where we are at, as human species, on a raided, plundered and destroyed planet, and most carry on as usual, watch the commuting traffic in the morning, all those nice new SUVs from all over the industrial world.

    People will gaze at their smart phone screens, made from rare metals and toxic stuff, also through using immense amounts of clean water, and slave labour.

    The world is ticking close to midnight, doomsday hour, without the nuclear threat from North Korea, that may not be so much of a worry after all, should Trump and Kim get on like Trump and Macron.

    Growth, growth, more growth, burn it all, rip it all out of the earth, never mind, there will be no tomorrow anyway, screw the following generations, have more babies and leave them the huge liabilities of a planet not worth living in anymore.

    Thanks, you caring humanity of modern day!
