Climate Letter #707

A new UN report about the accelerated extraction of Earth’s natural resources.  The effects broadly overlap with the effects of fossil fuel burning.  The inhabitants of different countries all have a “material footprint,” calculated in terms of tonnage, as well as a carbon footprint, and the same kind of wide disparities show up, generally well-matched.  Some relaxation of the push for economic growth, at least in the most highly developed countries, might not be a bad thing.
