I will say this much we already know how to turn earth into earth. It’s called bio regionalism. This is the process of re-localizing our communities so that we can live a very, very comfortable life off of the land our communities occupy..

By definition, this is life within planetary boundaries

The #climateCrisis is inherent to the system that's created it. Expecting that the same system that owes its existence to exploitation of resources and people will now act against its own interests and… save the planet, is just very bad #fiction.
Fiction is now the old mode of a world that lived in nirvana: a never ending growth. In the new world, which deGrasse himself describes in the video, such fiction will soon become the sad relic of a relentless propaganda that wanted the rotten system to somehow "correct" itself, as if history that showed that it can't had never happened.
