I’m a child of the 80’s and have no idea what this is? A radio? Is it a flux capacitor?

Reply to comment by antrky in The IEA says humanity used the greatest amount of coal in 2022 in all of human history, and that this level of consumption will continue until at least 2025. One-third of all global coal goes to generate electricity in China, and India's coal use is growing at 6% per annum. by lughnasadh

Sure. Never ending growth is absolutely necessary for the economic system to avoid a crash.

The world, and everyone living in it will eventually come to a halt because the micro plastics and PFAS coarsing through our veins causing all sorts of medical conditions, the collapse of insect populations causing massive food shortages, mass migration causing collapse of urban housing and incredible amounts of homelessness. I’m in my mid life, but I probably won’t see these issues at their worst, but they are all happening now and it’s just the beginning.

First world countries need to introduce a green tariff on cheap goods arriving from these countries. If it violates trade agreements, say it’s for national security. The world doesn’t need never ending consumption. Our Canadian government bans single use straws but dollar stores pump out millions more plastic tons of stupid party supplies and “glitter everything”
