A system based on selling like over 70 million cars per year , and airline industry where the jumbo jet pulls up with people packed in like sardines and fills up with 36000 gallons of fuel .
Also who the hell is jet setting around daily ? Yeah very sustainable. Multiply this by how many billion people have increased since like 1930 and the mathematical part is even scarier.
I agree with just about all you have said in recent posts. I can agree with much of this one as well, however, "killing earth" is not an easy assignment. It will not happen in 1 or 2 generations. We have been at 'earth killing' for at least six generations but it took technological developments of the last 50 or so years to be impactful enough on biological systems that the Earth was actually threatened. Even now though, we threaten Humanity more than we threaten the Planet. Jumbo Jets have all been retired. Airbus A380's will be retired ASAP. Actually, there is a good chance that international air travel is a thing of the past. But domestic automobile transportation will increase going forward and that is not a good development.
