     Hear, hear.

     Unbounded exponential growth of consumption and waste are impossible on a finite planet.

     #degrowth is the only solution but humans will resist voluntary degrowth, even incremental, until the laws of physics impose involuntary and dramatic degrowth upon us.

     @jramskov I say at least as much but because of the Jevons paradox we'll almost certainly end up consuming more energy because of EVs, since people think "Oh my car doesn't pollute anymore so I can just drive as much as I want."

     This whole idea that we can somehow deal with climate change without changing our lifestyles, in fact by consuming even more, is a pretty brilliant piece of propaganda that's quite a bit more powerful than any of the various "climate change is a hoax" conspiracy claims.

     pettter repeated this.

     @jramskov Because Teslas are no solution to climate change. We can't save the world by continuing to dump at least as much energy into carting individual humans around in heavy metal boxes.

     @InternetEh May all Teslas be used for this kind of art.
