Believe it or not, the hardcore enviroweenies/Warmists are actually pushing this. And, of course, they wrap this whole thing under the banner of Hotcoldwetdry
Happy Earth Overshoot Day! We’ve Now Used All Our Resources For The Year.
On this day in August 2015, humans have used an entire year’s worth of the Earth’s natural resources, according to the Global Footprint Network.
Calling it Earth Overshoot Day, the group celebrates — or, rather, notes — the day by which people have used more natural resources, such as fish stocks, timber, and even carbon emissions, than the Earth can regenerate in a single year. It’s basically a balance sheet for global accounting.
“We can overuse nature quite easily,†Mathis Wackernagel, president of the Global Footprint Network, told ThinkProgress. “When you start to spend more than you earn, it does not become immediately apparent. But, eventually, you go bankrupt.â€
There’s an easy solution: all these believers can just kill themselves, something that they want for Other People. They don’t seem to care too much about human life, other than themselves. Or, really, they can refuse to breed, and they can immediately give up all use of fossil fuels, go completely carbon neutral, live in itty bitty domiciles, growing their own food, no AC, no heat, etc.
Amazingly, even if humanity were to achieve the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) recommended 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, we would still be in a yearly deficit, according to the group.
Huh. Moving the goalpost. These people always want more.
