Limits to growth is wrong then? Is there enough oil and copper at the current rate?

Unfortunately we do still have a lot of oil reserves for like a 100 47 years. Without oil we’d be forced to massively reorganize global trade and how we live and work.

yes, that’s the problem. We may still have 47 years of oil left (I think we have less), but the cost to extract it will rise, and the economy will take a hit. So yes, we have to reorganize or we won’t have to only think about the climate…
