Goddamnit man it isn't as simple as slowing economic growth. That itself is pointless, rather it is a change in the nature of the economy through laws and social values so as to gear the world towards sustainability, yes that means an initial decline in growth over some areas but that itself is not the purpose: the aim is for growth in different directions.
Stop holding onto feelings , everybody is dirty in this game.
And nations and people know that. Look at global governance: its every country. The majority of nations co-operating, it dosn't always work but it is based on national co-operation.
Everybody is a son of a bitch with blood on their hands.

Economic value is measured by the total value of all good and services, therefore we use economic growth as an indicator to measure standard of living. We will take last years total goods and services and compare it to this years for instance. Economists in this country use a fictitious target of 2.5 economic growth, now that doesn't mean the economy is growing by 2.5%, it means just to keep pace with the inflationary figures recorded by the BOE which are in themselves extremely manipulated) then we need to record economic growth at this rate. If we don't keep pace, lets say economic growth is 1%, then we have become 1.5% poorer in the space of a year. So you can imagine then the ramifications when recently it was announced that the economy had contracted by over 4%, which in real terms means a reduction in wealth of some 6.5% just in one year.
Now what this man is stating is that we need to do away with economic growth as it exists now, that individuals standards of living should no longer be important because we have to save the planet instead. So far from the statements of suppression being incorrect, or inaccurate, they are the consequences which would unfold through this man's stated aim.
