Un recadito de Nature para quienes defienden, de forma absolutamente infundada, que “el progreso hará que se solucionen los problemas ambientales y la creación de riqueza es la mejor solución frente al cambio climático”.

Pues va y resulta que no. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16941-y

"For over half a century, worldwide growth in affluence has continuously increased resource use and pollutant emissions far more rapidly than these have been reduced through better technology."

"The affluent citizens of the world are responsible for most environmental impacts and are central to any future prospect of retreating to safer environmental conditions. We summarise the evidence and present possible solution approaches."

"Any transition towards sustainability can only be effective if far-reaching lifestyle changes complement technological advancements."

"However, existing societies, economies and cultures incite consumption expansion and the structural imperative for growth in competitive market economies inhibits necessary societal change."

Que bueno, sorpresa tampoco es, pero yo qué sé, a ver si esta gente que cree en el pensamiento mágico del progreso (y luego se chotean -con razón- de la homeopatía o el horóscopo) usa un poquito de ese pensamiento crítico que dicen defender.
