A slowing economy helps abate climate change

Evidence that the slowing of the world’s economy will help abate climate change is on the record.

The 2008-09 GFC not only
 took the economy through
 the floor, but it also had
 a noticably impact on
slowing carbon dioxide
emissions.

The much discussed Global Financial Crisis (GFC) did many things, among them slow noticeably the world’s output of carbon dioxide.

With the world’s economy sliding into disarray in 2008-09, the world’s environmental sinks were given a breather as our consumption, of everything, dropped back in a measurable sense and people, certainly those in the developed countries, found new ways to maintain their “good life”.

The Four-Hour Work Day is similar to the GFC as its introduction will cause significant disruption, decided disarray and unimagined unease for some, but treated altruistically and honestly, it will ultimately be more life affirming for all, and, importantly kind to the earth, the only home we have.
