The laws of thermodynamics govern the universe. Of all our scientific
theories, thermodynamics is the least likely to change as we learn
more. In other words, thermodynamics is the bedrock of science.
As a consequence, any “sustainable” solution to our overshoot
predicament must first be checked to confirm that it does not conflict
with the laws of thermodynamics. Unfortunately, most solutions promoted
today, like renewable energy, recycling, and a circular economy, do
conflict with thermodynamics and therefore are not useful strategies.
We must reduce our population and our consumption. And we will, one way or the other.
Here is a nice essay on the thermodynamics of a circular economy by Paul Mobbs.
