It's all fine and good for John Kerry to utter a fundamental truth about a major driver of climate catastrophe, but it is a useless proclamation without offering a solution.

Have enough tipping points been breached that there are no prescriptions to offer?

Losing 3 billion people would destroy the global economy. Capitalist economy needs constant growth to survive.

Interesting. I wonder if there are any economic models that recognize that infinite growth can not be achieved when resources are finite.
