Complex diagram depicting 9 planetary boundaries and their transgression on a logaritmic scale from "Safe operating space", "Zone of increasing risk" to "High risk zone". The 6 transgressed boundaries: * Climate Change, split into CO2 concentration (increasing risk) and radiative forcing (high risk). * Novel Entities (increasing to high risk) * Biogeochemical Flows, split into Phosphorus (high risk) and Nitrogen (very high risk). * Freshwater Change, split into Green (increasing risk) and Blue (increasing risk). * Land System Change (increasing risk) * Biosphere Integrity, split into Genetic (very high risk) and Functional (high risk) The 3 not (yet) transgressed boundaries: * Stratospheric Ozone Depletion (safe) * Atmospheric Aerosol Loading (safe) * Ocean Acidification (barely safe)

Tell me again that the only ecological problem we need to focus on is too much greenhouse gases.
Explain to me how nuclear energy is The Solution.
Convince me that rich countries can keep consuming exponentially more every year, if we just make sure that consumption is "green".
Give me your optimistic take on how electrification, digitalization, fusion energy and/or "AI" will both prevent #EarthBreakdown and save capitalism.
I dare you.
