Fantastic image. Agree 100%. Overconsumption is meta crisis.
CO2 is the new "plastics recycling". Doesn't really happen but is a great "branding" story to divert attention from the real problem: That since 1970, we moved from being consumers of our environment to devourers.
It's not an energy production problem.
It's an energy consumption problem.
We use vastly too much energy and materials. We must slow down.
More tech won't save us.
Degrowth is the only hope.
