this response ignores large and substantial inputs to a complex system of systems, instead choosing to focus on a one-line and highly contentious assertion that directly and falsely merges "growth producing carbon waste" with "economic output." Lazy oversimplification like the parent comment, is directly counterproductive to addressing serious and immediate design and political challenges.

Please consider other economic inputs that do not directly increase carbon emissions, and include design consideration where "new machines and methods" can accomplish similar or better economic activity.
