Mention of the constraints in the introduction to your new publication would had saved us a lot of comments like "whoa, they want to degrow construction sector and steel?!! Are they mad?!"

People don't know that there are material limits on a finite planet or that the time constraint from CO2 budget forbids the attitude of "It'll be okay if enough metals r available in 2055. Until then, we'll just wait and do BAU."
