Daniel...,

If you have a sensible question, I will try to answer it....

Hi Kim,
I'm probably wrong about this, but it seems to me like you're trying to relegate the discussion to a mere Q&A where you moderate and we discuss only your "facts" backed by your "evidence" so you can, as you put it, set us straight?

Did you watch the whole video yet?
Best,
Daniel

Indeed.
Here is one possible starting point, however: http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/inde ... _overview/

From the link.
The Ecological Footprint has emerged as the world’s premier measure of humanity’s demand on nature.
:rofl:
Kim,
Is this a joke?
To make such a "standard" work would at minimum require another planet similar enough to this one to compare it to.

The Ecological Footprint is scientificated political correctness.

Daniel,
I don't want to be a referee or moderator.
My facts and evidence don't have snarky quotation marks around them.
Other than that, pretty close.
That's the best I can offer, since I haven't the time or inclination to wade through junk or watch long videos.

I am closing this thread temporarily so that all concerned can get some sunshine and fresh air.
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
