By Neale Van Fleet on July 10th, 2023

A wonderful, big-picture article in The New Yorker on the climate crisis by Bill McKibben about possible paths to salvaging the climate crisis through limiting certain aspects of growth.

A study cited by the degrowth advocate Steve Genco calculated that to stabilize the planet’s temperature, we need to decrease the share of passenger-car transport in our cities by eighty-one per cent, “limit per-person air travel to one trip per year,” reduce living space per person by twenty-five per cent, decrease meat consumption in rich nations by sixty per cent, and so on.

This is a huge task, but possible. I have done each of these items and none have felt like a sacrifice. The good news is that several of these, such as reducing car use and meat consumption, also have additional health benefits.

I’m not sure if I love or hate this spherical arena covered with LED screens in Las Vegas. I would sure love to play some of my abstract videos on it.
