A new economics is required that takes into account the true costs of our economic actions. These true costs have been difficult to assess historically and are easy to ignore. In fact many businesses would rather they were ignored, with good reason. Someone else always ends up paying for those costs then through public spending.

In the science of economics these costs are often referred to as externalities. Here are some examples:

Pollution, Noise, Human health problems, Biodiversity loss and Erosion.

• CO2 produced by shipping
• CO2 emitted by fertiliser production
• CO2 emitted by burning a hectare of rainforest
• Environmental cost of destruction of a hectare of rainforest
• Tax for destruction of former rainforest

A New Economics is Required – This is a Temporary Measure

When I say a temporary measure Im probably talking hundreds of thousands of years if not millions. Do nothing and that period will likely shorten to hundreds of years, maybe less.
