GR: The loftiest goals, the finest presentation, for the glossiest oxymoron: “sustainable development”. We must keep in mind that population control is the key issue. Population control is not mentioned in the UNEP Annual Report, and in fact, most of the sustainable development goals will increase population. It is an artful deception to praise development for its contributions to humans and nature. Development, the increasing overpopulation and overuse of the Earth, must make a U-turn now if we are to save the majority of wild plants and animals–nature. Moreover, without nature, our artificial lives will become tedious and tenuous.
