Make policies based on science, not on salesmen.

Our Chief Scientist has today been forced to point out the fucking obvious again. It turns out that, as everyone already knows, infinite growth on a finite planet is just never going to fucking work no matter what it means for the value of your shares, or how politically difficult you think it might be to implement.

“We don’t have time to relax and say things are fine. In 20 years time, world population is going to be sky high. Demand for food, water, and energy is going to be way up there and we’ve got to think about taking these all together – climate change, food, water, energy – and think of them as being integrally linked.”
