    Humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction'


    What to do about it?

    One big idea is to steer the world away from the "limited paradigm of economic growth".

    They suggest moving away from GDP as a key measure of economic wealth and instead adopting more holistic approaches that would capture quality of life and long-term effects.

    They argue that our traditional notion of a "good quality of life" has involved increasing consumption on every level. This has to change.
    Similarly, there must be change when it comes to financial incentives that damage biodiversity.

    "Crucially, governments must end the destructive subsidies, including for fossil fuels and industrial fishing and agriculture," said Andrew Norton, director of the International Institute for Environment and Development.

    You are all a huge part of this... and should be ashamed. Faux moral superiority goes out the window when money is involved and you constantly consume the very resources that put humans in a very dangerous position.
