"Climate change operates globally with effects at all scales, from psychological to planetary. However, one principle is clear: we live on a finite planet but have an economic system predicated on unending growth... We are like infants unwilling to accept that the breast is not a source of infinitely increasing nourishment. In the present context, any suggestion of weaning, however gentle, is still heresy."
