Solution: let’s get more planets
WWF, via Reuters:
Humans are stripping nature at an unprecedented rate and will need two planets’ worth of natural resources every year by 2050 on current trends…”If everyone around the world lived as those in America, we would need five planets to support us,” [WWF Director-General James] Leape, an American, said in Beijing.
Here’s a start: bring back Pluto!

But if we reproduced at the rate the Chinese do, we would need about 10 planets!
Maybe Director General James would have us live as the North Koreans do. I imagine that starving on a barely-subsistence diet and no electricity would diminish the human impact on the planet…..
From “Undue Influence,” (http://www.undueinfluence.com/wwf.htm), “TRACKING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT’S MONEY, POWER, AND HARM – Using capitalist investments
to destroy capitalist society”
“James Leape, executive vice-president. Salary $180,469, benefits $21,381.”
Sounds like Mr. Leape, a lawyer, no less, is hardly living off the land himself.
