"Earth Overshoot Day" is based on something called the "Ecological Footprint," which is used by the World Wildlife Fund,Human Development ReportBut is the Ecological Footprint good science? It's not. But solving that problem doesn't require that rich nations become poor — or that poor nations remain poor — but simply that we move toward energy sources that don't produce carbon emissions, a process known as"decarbonization."
