Tell the G20: infinite economic growth on a finite planet is not possible.

Enough is enough!!! We must save the World and Humanity!

The transition is an absolute necessity, Governments must wake up to this.

Infinite material growth on a finite planet is logically, mathematically and physically impossible. And there is no human activity that isn't, in the end, material. Yes, even the so called "information economy".

Mathematics at about year 7 should be enough to show that growth, especially exponential growth is not sustainable.

Why didn't politicians learn the basics of ecosystem analysis??? What a shame!

90% of the money supply created out of thin air by banks is ridiculous. Money should be created by sovereign governments and put into circulation as spending on infrastructure and in providing civil services. The need to have growth in order to cover the interest/profit for financial institutions is absurd.

Growth must be limited to be Sustainable. Power must be made accountable to encourage responsibility.

You're suppose to be smart. You're acting like fools... Traitors to humanity... Who DO you represent?

The good of the natural world must come first; everything else must be subsumed to that.

Grow up and pay attention! This is serious. It has been serious for 35 years and now it is really serious. Don't make it worse by ignoring the obvious.

It seems obvious that, by any meaningful physical measure, eternal growth is impossible on a finite planet. Humanity therefore needs to decide what we mean by 'economic growth'; decide whether it is still an appropriate metric; and consider whether it needs to be replaced by something more appropriate and useful.

GDP/person woud be a good measure where GDP could go down while GDP/person could increase if population decreases.

As glaciers melt so should the absurd growth and greed that are sending us to the brink..

The addiction to economic growth over the past two hundred years, for all its perceived benefits, is responsible for the threat to human survival today. Mankind's only hope of survival is to break the addiction.

We have to fight for a new Economic World Order where capital and wealth creation are not even tertiary goals, but well being of the human race and survival of all species is given primacy through well researched policy frameworks that promote Steady State Economy

Sustainable growth is a universal responsibility and it must addressed through a wider forum. For ages, we were preached of capitalistic idea where money is the medium controlled by greedy bankers, flawed economist and shrewed and short sighted politicians. Capitalism needs to be replaced completely with a better system that can assess the performance of the Nation not through Economic Growth but through other noble indicator: Humane Development.

Get your mind off money and onto survival!

Best if luck.

Let us recover common sense. Infinity within the finite is not only impossible but absurd. MANFRED MAX-NEEF

The paradox is we need to GROW CASSE - to help counter uncontrolled GROWTH!
