Growth, Over- shoot & danger of collapse

Growth > Overshoot

Not just climate change – “peak everything” : ‘Peak’ fossil fuels… Depleting mineral resources… Soil erosion… Soil compaction… Loss of soil nutrients… Salinisation… Deforestation… Draining of wetlands … Paving over open land… Subsidence… Eutrophication… Aquifer drainage… ‘Dry’ rivers… Water pollution… Acidification… Toxic & Radioactive contamination… Overflowing landfills… Exhausted fisheries …………………………………………… and ‘Biodevastation’ Note: synergies between many of them, making each worse

Cheap & secure oil plus other critical minerals

More slices of the planet taken by people the less for ‘non-people’
