One of these days I will do a deep dive into the “degrowth” movement, but that day is not today. I really want to wrap my head around it before I begin spouting off in my trademark manner.
But I feel confident enough to say that Germany provides a great example of the basic principle: impoverish people and call it a victory for Gaia.
The MSM is crowing about how Germany has cut its CO2 emissions, showing that it can be done.
Germany emissions hit a 70-year low last year as Europe’s largest economy reduced its reliance on coal. #Germany emitted 673m tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2023, 73m tonnes fewer than in 2022. https://t.co/gwEtMjYVRz

You can find stories all across the MSM about how Germany has reduced its reliance on coal, leading to lower emissions and eventually a greener planet.
Yay!
