29. Good example of "less is more"

How much less work and burning of fossil fuels should be done to avoid climate change raising sea level by one meter - and then getting employed to moving everything below sea level?

The latter would manifest as GDP growth, but it does not produce anything, only tries to fix problem caused by too much work in the first place.

We need holistic approach to comprehend ecological system as interdependent whole, not desperate clinging to our chains of wage slavery and more more more money and power to banksters and the rest of 1% which they rob from people and rest of nature.

That is what they mean by "austerity" - more and more to them by leaving us less and less. It's a matter of distribution, not production of what we don't need and what harms ecological balance and ourselves. As a whole, our societies need to adapt to evolutionary challenges and live within means of what can be produced sustainably without destroying the carrying capacity of ecosystems that we all depend from, which means "austerity" in the sense that we cannot continue mindless consumerism at the cost of environmental destruction. And that means also that our societies cannot any more afford distribution pattern of more and more to 1% (most of which is just insane waste and pollution) and less and less to 99% and our basic needs, which include not only food and roof over our head, but also safety, sense of community, self expression etc. time for ourselves and our most loved ones, instead of being forced to sell more and more of our time and attention to greedy banksters and militarists for less and less power to decide how we want to live.
