1. I didn’t actually mean that the urgency in the climate problem leads to urgency in the materials problem, both are urgent relatively independently. It seems you’re more optimistic about material scarcity and that by the time we run into troubles, we’ll already have tech to solve them. Would be great if that were the case. I’d love to see forecasts on that if you know some. 2. The point I tried to make is that global warming is not the only problem. If it were, I wouldn’t name it post-growth/degrowth, but I use these terms because of the bigger picture, since I also consider crossing the rest of planetary boundaries as well as resource scarcity important problems. But from #1, I think we disagree at least regarding the potential problem of resource scarcity.
