Couldn't they also be a mathematician? The Pointcarré recurrence theorem is a good example of infinite rate in a fixed dimensional space. Also, that quote really oversimplifies environmental engineering, the ozone layer has been fixed by the kyoto convention because every person with the simplest understanding of the carbon cycle can understand why the earth has been able to sustain ressource consumption for all animals and can still do so for a very long time still, infinitely or not.

economic growth isn't necessarily material growth. there is no material limit on how much code I can write. or the books i can sell digitally. the economy can grow with less resource use, and really it has compared to history. agriculture is far less resource intensive than it used to be due to improvements and far more economically productive. that's what progress is and why productivity continues to skyrocket. we can do way more with far less.
