On “cold and unreasonable,” Carl Svanberg comments on current events, philosophy, morality, politics and economics from the perspective of Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism.

“The Ecological Footprint”

In the episode, Carl discusses the meaning and validity of “the ecological footprint.” (Correction: I say that according to the Global Footprint Network, we were roughly “consuming” 0,7 planets in 1960. The correct number is roughly 0,4.)  References: https://www.aei.org/publication/18-spectacularly-wrong-predictions-made-around-the-time-of-first-earth-day-in-1970-expect-more-this-year-3/ http://www.myfootprint.org/ https://www.footprintnetwork.org/resources/data/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/bjornlomborg/2017/08/02/one-planet-is-enough/#40b59f093263 http://ecosense.me/ecosense-wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/CO2-Emissions.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3818165/ https://quillette.com/2018/12/03/the-one-sided-worldview-of-eco-pessimists/ https://www.footprintnetwork.org/content/images/uploads/Part_III_Technical_Document.pdf https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/publikation/long/3489.pdf https://courses.aynrand.org/works/the-anti-industrial-revolution/ http://www.juliansimon.com/writings/Ultimate_Resource/ https://industrialprogress.com/natural-resources-and-the-environment-by-george-reisman/ https://www.capitalism.net/Environmentalism's%20Toxicity.htm
