REC -Very timely... I did a deep dive/revisit (also met the seminal work in college in the 70s) into Limits to Growth and World3 before the Stockholm workshop on Climate (and other existential threats) Complexity Merle wrangled in 2019.... and was both impressed and disappointed. Rockstrom and folks were located right across the water from us where we met but to my knowledge didn't engage... their work was very complementary but did not feel as relevant to me then as it does now.
In the following interview, I felt he began to address many of the things I (previously) felt were lacking in their framework previoiusly. It was there all the time I'm sure, I just didn't see it and I think they were not ready to talk as broadly of implications 5 years ago as they are now?

Now Hackernews links to the above in which some people argue that we've achieved the predicted overshoot for the business as usual scenario and the subsequent collapse begins now.
