Squeezing the Last Drops Out?

Humans over-exploit their planet's resources. Natural resource extraction currently accounts for 60% of global heating; 40% of air pollution, as well as 90% of water stress (there's limited potable water) and terrestrial biodiversity loss. A United Nations (UN) report predicts that, by 2060, the global extraction of raw material will further increase by 60% (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/31/raw-materials-extraction-2060-un-report). A 60% increase in the extraction of raw materials for human use in such a short time period, is massive. If this UN prediction is correct, anthropogenic climatic and environmental damage will be ratcheted up. There's only one Earth and a) resource extraction per person will have to dramatically fall and/or b) the human population per se will markedly decline (taking many other organisms with them).
