It maintains that the causes of our difficulties lie in resource depletion, environmental degradation and over population. The last one in particular cannot be discussed without provoking a chorus of outrage and denial. We're making essentially zero effort to address environmental damage and climate change. I have yet to hear an American politician make a serious attempt to come to grips with any of these issues.
