I agree that I don’t see anything wrong with linking to that paper.
I do think my view is quite defensible. eg in the discussion of degrowth below, the author says “We could very plausibly stop or at least delay climate change by drastically reducing the use of technology right now (COVID bought us a few months just by shutting down planes although that has “recovered” now )” the experience of the massive global humanitarian and economic disaster of covid seems like a very poor advert for a position ‘we can make degrowth work if only we try’. it’s killed 15 million people and hundreds of millions of people have been locked indoors for months.
I really don’t see the link between reducing air travel and the fact that COVID killed millions of people and necessitated lockdown measures.
I’m going to disengage now. Repeatedly mischaracterizing opposing views and deploying non-sequiturs for rhetorical reasons do not indicate to me that this will be a productive conversation.
