Meanwhile, world GDP per capita has been basically flat since 2011. Most, maybe all, of our increase in GDP has come from increased resource usage (extraction). An exponential increase on that scale will not happen. Even the current rate of extraction is unsustainable.pic.twitter.com/uyydKuujLR
All of this is in PPP$, which is more relevant in estimating welfare of income, and here global GDP per person has been increasing steadily https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ny.gdp.pcap.pp.cd …pic.twitter.com/fONFZFs6KE

I appreciate the data - I have to look more at the SSP stuff to better understand it. I'm suspicious of projections so far out (have these been accurate in the past?Does past growth really predict future growth?What are the sources of uncertainty and how wide are the margins etc)

Bjorn, can you comment on the work of Project Drawdown? I have to say, their narrative is much brighter in terms of carbon emissions. Their modeling is more suggestive of savings and co-benefits than outright costs of mitigation. https://www.drawdown.org/solutions

Last time I checked, international civil engineering firms like to be paid out of GDP, not PPP.

no, they like to be paid in exchange rate US$ :) Anyway, the point is, most people in Bangladesh are not working for international engineering firms, and for them, PPP$ is more appropriate Moreover, SSP database is in PPP Perhaps see here:https://ourworldindata.org/what-are-ppps
