The """problem of overshoot""" is that the human species is still in the death grip of capitalism. The task of preserving a habitable world is not being ignored because humanity is just too stupid to understand how to do it, but because it's incredibly profitable for a tiny handful of extremely rich and powerful people to enforce the current course by any means necessary, including extreme violence - or indeed, funding academics to point the blame at anything but themselves. "It's just human nature!"
I would respond to the problem of 'over' shoot by 'exactly' shooting the capitalists in their rotten hearts, with the help of an army of communist soldiers.
Right, the “overshoot” is the paper clip maximizer that is inherent to capitalism. And it’s not human nature to think in “simplistic, reductionist, mechanical ways,” as if dialectical materialism is beyond the capacity of the common H. Sapiens brain pan. Unsurprisingly, China is leading the way while the monopoly capitalists of the imperial core are clamoring that China is “overproducing” green technology. Whatever one might think of the 1979–2015 One-child policy, it proves that foresight, planning, and successful implementation of massive mitigations are possible.
