    He is - strangely - quite optimistic about our ability to curb it, and backs up everything he says with evidence.

    That’s one of the strangest sentences I’ve ever heard from a rational Hexbear. I’m not against contrarianism. But you’re going to have to explain yourself. I have a couple questions.

    • Strangely? C’mon. This isn’t rocket science. He’s an obnoxious turd who surely wants some sugar-daddy billionaire to fund him the rest of his life. And being quite optimistic and dismissive douchebag is a possible ticket to Cash City.

    • Evidence? What is this “evidence”? I really want to know.

      I do not see any indication of this at all.

      What is this “evidence”?

      Pretty much everything he writes is very well sourced, citing studies etc etc. His seminal piece on anti-degrowth is here if you want to give it a read
