The problem with people like her who think that perpetual economic growth is evil is that they fundamentally misunderstand economics. Economic growth leads to advancements in technology and productivity, both of which eventually lead to lower emissions per capita while increasing everyone’s standard of living. Not to mention that a wealthier society is inherently in a much better position to pay for a cleaner environment. In fact, wealthier countries demand a cleaner environment on average. A wealthier society also leads to better education, which means your population is less likely to vote for politicians who will make climate change worse, or live a lifestyle that is horrible for the environment (like having more than 2 biological kids). Humans have never 'increased everyone's standard of living" without massively degrading the environment. Things have to be done a different way, or we are fucked. Rah rah economic growth cheerleading isn't it. As for wealther==better educated == smart voting, you can't be serious. We voted out Jimmy "solar panels on the White House/moral equivalent of war" Carter for a two terms of Ronald fucking Reagan, and ever since then Americans havent shown the slightest interest in seriously dialing back consumerism in favor of climate change.

^^^ Truth. Libertarianism speaks to the poorly educated of all ages. If you understood economics at all, you wouldn't be a liberal. But you don't, so you are easily deceived by left-wing propaganda But not all races or genders, it turns out. It takes a very specific kind of asshole to be libertarian. Talk to a leftist long enough and eventually the anti-semitic dog whistling starts Better to be an asshole than a non-playable character Stieglitz, Krugman*....not a clue about economics between them, eh? Try not sucking Ayn Rand's dick for a few minutes, see how it feels. *antisemites?

Rah rah economic growth cheerleading isn't it. The average standard of living in the US has gone up in the last 10-15 years while our GHG emissions have gone down. I already told you that population reduction is what needs to be done differently so that we can reduce our emissions at a fast enough of a rate without sacrificing our standard of living. This isn’t 1980. Today, every single major candidate for office is talking about the seriousness of climate change except trump, and he only represents about 25% of the adult population, possibly less. The American public is absolutely more educated on climate change and is far more willing to take steps to reduce emissions at a faster rate than it was a few decades ago.
