For the "it's already started", I mixed resources and population.
when I say it has already started, I was thinking of the start of a contraction in resources, which is not the start of the fall in the world's population.
In my opinion the collapse in limits to growth is the collapse of the world population. (Linked to other collapses before)
Indeed the beginning of the decline of the world population is "predicted" for in 10 years.
But it is not set in stone for a year or so, it is only a simulation that is ultimately rather qualitative, simply to understand what can happen.
No luck it turns out that the reality sticks quite well to the simulation but not very precise either, so for the dates, you have to see. start in 10 years? in 20 years ?
and this date is only the beginning of a progressive phenomenon.
I am clarifying this by what I feel you are worried about (and rightly so, since society is not moving
) but in life we worry too much.
Anxiety consumes energy, you have to overcome it by building something positive.
The individual solutions that I listed were more for taking action and therefore overcoming worry, but not a miracle solution.
It's therapeutic if you prefer.
Personally, I was sick of it when I discovered all this more than 10 years ago.
The one who hit the nail on the head is survivalist Piero San Giorgio.
To imagine the worst, we have it.
By doing nothing but noticing and vegetating, we are preparing for the worst as well.
This is not what we need and above all that we could do much better with less by basing the economy on sustainability rather than profitability.
PS: in 1970 we did not talk about climate so limits to growth, it is "with a stable climate". Indeed it can be worse than limits to growth. Once again, it is better to work with a better individual and collective.
