the “Limits to Growth”, “Unite to save the planet from Weather” crowd are an emotion centric, utopianist, doomsday cult.
Discussion
I read a lot of permaculture books that come from this perspective. I don’t agree with their position but I have gotten a lot of useful information from them about gardening.
The actually-dangerous limit to growth is government.
Reading James S. Scott's books (economic/agricultural history) made it clear to me this was /always/ true for Statist societies.
So I read a lot of "Limits to Growth"-type people and learn from them. They are working on partial solutions, even though they misunderstand the problem.
