Every claim about the future that you make would be true if the planet were infinite, if we had infinite supplies of net energy, if the runaway climate crisis were nonexistent, and if humanity were not 100 percent dependent on a finite biological support system (essential minerals, fresh water, and biodiversity) But unfortunately, that is not the case. We are a part of, not apart from, nature. And infinite growth of population, extraction, and energy consumption is the ideology of a cancer cell.
