    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.
