> Well, for one, that would vastly reduce economic growth.

Yes, that's the point! I take the world without the economic growth where people are happy with what they have over one with economic growth and unsustainable level of CO2 emissions.

Not to start an argument, but that's easy to say when you have a comfortable life and already experienced abundance.

You know, people of poor and underdeveloped countries have the right to aspire to a better life (and yes, that means owning more than a couple of ragged t-shirts and eat meat often than twice a month)

Sure, me too. But historically, and also literally right now, lack of economic growth leads to revolutions and protest if people are poor.
