Luis G. López Lemus  , Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries Affairs : Science-based Strategic Consultancy writes:

“It should be obvious that overshoot is ultimately a terminal condition. Humanity is nearing the peak of a one-off population boom-bust cycle and will contract. We have even blown the chance to halt the descent near historic carrying capacity via ‘one-planet living’ (overshoot can permanently degrades carrying capacity). Any future ‘civilization’ will occupy a much-diminished planet.” 🤔

He is referring to an article by William Rees, “Carrying Capacity: The Vinegar in Economsits’ Wine (May 19, 2026).
