The Cost Of Economic Growth

According to reports such as this one, climate change will wreck economic growth:

It seems to me they got it backwards. "Economic growth" is one of the chief CAUSES of climate change. Not only is such growth damaging to our planet, it does little or nothing to benefit We the People.

And there really is no alternative in sight. Anything other than disaster capitalism is labeled as "bad" for us, and no one can prove otherwise. Not a good situation to be in.

By the way, if you get in the way of "economic growth" someone like Jeff Bezos' minions will call the police on you:
