Summary of David Wallace-Wells’s The Uninhabitable Earth by Milkyway Media

I have long believed, ever since i was even quite young that the way the world operates is basically unsustainable. How can it be that all the working economic models that all so called " first world " nations employ to run their societies; do so based on making profit, over & above all the cost(s) involved in producing everything from bread & butter to roads & motor cars ? Especially as all this over & above 'extra' profit keeps driving businesses to continuously mine a finite amount of precious natural resource(s). Why are we not all planting 4 trees each every year & harvesting all the leaves to dry out & use as insulation for our homes ? And so on & so on & so on
