| Video Discription | We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. William Rees. Part 1 is at https://youtu.be/6hi9xYSCwZ8 if you want haven't yet seen it. Bill Rees coined the term #EcologicalFootprint and has considerable respect in the field of ecology. He is not at all optimistic about humanity's prospects, and he is no 'fringe' scientist. Here he again speaks with us about the mess we continue make of the planet, and the drivers of our self-destruction. His sense is that we are in overshoot of the ecological limits of the Earth, and that the 'growth economics' that we have become enslaved to, we are consuming Earth's resources at an unsustainable rate, and dumping the consumerism's wastes into Earth's land, water and air 'sinks' with no real regard (lip service only) for its ability to absorb them. Such is the legacy of a dysfunction economic model of infinite exponential growth on a limited planet, of which the banks and moneyed elites are the beneficiaries. #Conservation #EcologicalEconomics #GrowthEconomics (c) Stuart Scott All Rights Reserved For more information on the state of our planet visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library 0dWLLGWs6_Q |
