The public rarely sees, and thus rarely thinks about, proposals to take action that would suffice to prevent global heating disaster.

I am not convinced it is necessary to eliminate capitalism entirely. Clearly, however, it is necessary to eliminate plutocracy. Perhaps the author identifies the two; many progressives do.

I don't think it is necessary to eliminate computers, the internet, or entertainment. They do not have to consume a lot of rare materials and energy; they don't inherently need to be built to last a short time. Rather, the general tendency of the modern economy towards planned obsolescence affects computers just as it affects coffeemakers.

Meanwhile, I urge people to have no children. Why drag more people into impending disaster? Having no children will reduce the size of the disaster, even as it spares some potential human beings from having to undergo it.
