At least since 1972 and the publication of The Limits to Growth it is known that the exponential economic and population growth with a finite supply of resources is a dead end (literally). Yet it was easier to ridicule the publication and continue business as usual because it's easier to destroy the Earth than to rethink Capitalism. As a consequence we've been sitting on our hands for almost 50 years losing precious time, listening to politicians, false prophets, that tell us that growth is somehow sustainable.
