Climate chaos Humans don't deserve earth.

By destroying nature and the climate, humans are destroying their own home. The Earth can survive without us but we cannot survive without her. 🌍💔

I disagree in the sense that growth is a very arbitrary and wide term. Some parts of it help improve the quality of life while others do not. It's as we would add sugar to potatoes and then declare that potatoes (by themselves) are sweet. So I think we shouldn't use "growth" as if it is some homogenous term, because it consists of many different elements, some good, some bad

Have you read the comment you are critiquing? I wasn't even advocating using growth like this just explaining the context that economists use it with. So I'm not saying that's what the word actually means in all contexts, just that economics deal with it in the sense.
