From your link Poptech, :-
Quote:
Techniques developed by the Global Footprint Network, an international research network, form the underpinnings for the NTNU group’s research numbers and methods.

-- The Environmental Footprint describes a country’s resource consumption compared to its ecological capacity, explain Binningsbø and de Soysa.

The Ecological Footprint measures humankind’s exploitation of natural resources. In other words, how much do you have, and how much do you use?

The method is widely used as a measurement technique, but has also been criticised . Researchers have argued that the method can only be applied on a global basis, in as much as countries trade with each other, and therefore aren’t necessarily solely dependent on their own natural resources.
my bolding

I wouldn't say the risk of war over Climate Change issues has been debunked - far from it.

Why would RUSL have carried out this analysis if this 'debunking' was so thorough?

For Britannist:-
my personal comments about you were derived from your frequent attacks on the soveriegnty of the UK from all sources (which I also agree largely with).

So, are you nationalistic or not?

Hartlepool,
You've repeatedly shown you can't cope with the truth by asking me and others not to post. Don't waste your time - and I note you have mis-spelled my forum name yet again !!
