Post on X by Jason Hickel : Striking new paper shows that bringing the entire world population up to decent-living standards would require only about 3% of existing global resource use. 

Think about the implications of this:

Right now, at least 80% of humanity is deprived of decent-living standards.  More than 2 billion people do not even have stable access to food. These are massive levels of deprivation.

And it is *totally avoidable*.  We can ensure all 8 billion people have universal healthcare, good housing, education, nutritious food, sanitation systems, transit, clothing, refrigerators, freezers, necessary heating/cooling, mobile phones, internet, computers, etc...

...all of this with only 3% of existing global resource use.  Specifically: 7% of existing material use, 1% of existing emissions, 2% of existing land use, and 2% of existing water use.

Question:

Now that the US under Trump has lost the position as leader of the free world, who do you think will take over?

The second largest country in NATO is Turkey (population 85 million), but I am not listing this country, because very few countries listen to Erdogan.

Instead I am listing three large NATO members, which play a key role in NATO today, as well as the EU institution itself.
