STUDY in Nature: Global wealth redistribution, economic ‘degrowth’ needed to fight ‘global warming’
New study claims economic systems must be restructured to fit ‘within planetary boundaries.’ Paper urges “moving beyond the pursuit of GDP growth to embrace new measures of progress. It could also involve the pursuit of ‘degrowth’ in wealthy nations and the shift towards alternative economic models such as a steady-state economy.”
From a study in the journal Nature: “A Good Life for All Within Planetary Boundaries:” – “We apply a top-down approach that distributes shares of each planetary boundary among nations based on current population (a per capita biophysical boundary approach)…If all people are to lead a good life within planetary boundaries, then our results suggest that provisioning systems must be fundamentally restructured to enable basic needs to be met at a much lower level of resource use.”

Hillary Clinton: Global warming is sexist: Women Will Be ‘Primarily Burdened With The Problems Of Climate Change’ – By JUSTIN CARUSO – “I would say that particularly for women, you’re absolutely right, they will bear the brunt of looking for the food, looking for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to when all of the grass is finally gone as the desertification moves south and you have to keep moving your livestock for your crops are no longer growing, they’re burning up in the intense heat that we’re now seeing reported across North Africa, into the Middle East, and into India.” “So yes, women once again, will be the primary…primarily burdened with the problems of climate change.”
