It's worse than that. If we degrowthed and decarbonized fast enough to stop global warming, billons of people will die. If we continue to do nothing or weak sauce half measures to stop global warming, billions of people will die.
We are fucked either way now.
There is zero evidence that fixing things will kill anything other than billionaire profits.
This is the dumbest fucking take I've ever heard.
A defeatest attitude only makes things worse faster.
False optimism is as toxic as unjustified defeatism. Be realistic.
