IMHO it is because 1) not nearly enough people have seriously tried to find solutions that will work, and 2) those who have tried have been stymied by the political and social hurdles. Oh, and the fact that, because we've wasted so much time since the Club of Rome report, there are now no feasible solutions that will not involve considerable difficulties. I think you are right when you say: > So how are we going to break this cycle? We at least > have to recognise that it exists. That's why we need to talk about it and spread the information far and wide. Solutions will require top-down and bottom-up response. Ecologists can play an important role in informing everybody, but they need to become aware themselves. This is a fundamentally ecological problem (energy flow, population dynamics). But the solutions will only work if they are set properly in their social, political, economic, etc. context.
