We cannot come to terms with the fact that as a species we have gone beyond the ability of the planet to accommodate us. We have bred ourselves beyond the limits. We have consumed, polluted, and expanded beyond our means, and after several thousand years of superficial technological solutions we are now running short of answers. Biologists explain such expansion in terms of „carrying capacity“: lemmings and snowshoe hares — and a great many other species — have the same problem; overpopulation and over-consumption lead to die-off.
