Correction: we don't want to manage now. The world has far more than enough wealth and resources to hold climate change to 2 degrees and to stop clear cutting rain forests.
Two thirds of the global extreme poverty (defined by the World Bank as about $1.80/day in current dollars) has been eradicated in just the past two decades.
We're doing awesome.
That’s quite a bit of uncertainty to make any real definitive statements beyond continuing growth expected.
I am mostly simply reacting to people trying to use specific estimates.
