这里有两本相关的读物:1) 哈丁的《公地悲剧》(Tragedy of the Commons) 2) 威廉·卡顿(William Catton)的《过度承载》(Overshoot)。我们成功淘汰化石能源并掌握气候工程技术(也就是利用科技解决制造出来的全球性、系统性问题……)其实还有一线希望。
Two readings are relevant here: 1) Tragedy of the Commons by Harding 2) Overshoot by William Catton There is a sliver of hope that we can successfully decommission fossil fuel energy and master climate engineering, i.e. employ technology to solve global, systemic problems created…
去读读《Overshoot》这本书吧 https://www.amazon.com/Overshoot-Ecological-Basis-Revolution... 你会发现我们根本养活不了 90 亿人。
Read the book OVERSHOOT https://www.amazon.com/Overshoot-Ecological-Basis-Revolution... You'll see that we can't feed 9bn people.
要是你真想吓吓自己,去读读威廉·R·卡顿(William R. Catton)写的《过度承载:革命性变革的生态基础》(Overshoot: The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change)吧。
If you really want to scare yourself, read: Overshoot: The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change, by William R. Catton
……把罐子踢得足够远(kick the can down the road),远到不用操心。与其整天懊恼我们为什么没早点行动,还不如去指望太空采矿和近乎无限的能源。如果你读过威廉·卡顿的《Overshoot》(末日论者/doomer 最重要的经典之一),你就会明白我们其实根本做不了什么。我们总会把所处的“容器”撑到极限。所以我们能指望的最好的结果……
…the can down the road far enough not to worry about it. Better to look forward to space mining and virtually limitless energy than spend my days feeling angry we didn't do something sooner. If you read Overshoot by William Catton (one of the most important doomer books), you know that there's nothing we really could have done. We will always grow into the size of container we have. So the best we can hope for…

……最喜欢他的一点在于,他的写作角度不是指导性的“教你如何解决”,而是说明性的“剖析问题的各个维度以及可能的应对框架”。威廉·R·卡顿的《Overshoot》也写得极好。
…most about him is that he writes not from a prescriptive "here's how to solve this" but an expository "here are the dimensions of the problem and possible frames of resolution". William R. Catton, Jr.'s Overshoot is also excellent.
