A scenario is an outline of events - planned or unplanned, possible or probable - depending on the circumstances:

Humans, that is our activities,

Nature, that is all other life forms and the planet.

The human scenario variables are:
Population growth - Economic growth - Technology
The resulting Impact is often expressed in the equation
I = P x A x T

All life forms, including humans, are normally in a dynamic balance in the environment.
We are maintaining the balances with nature if we don't consume natural resources and minerals faster than nature requires for regeneration and replenishment.
Presently, we are creating an ever increasing global imbalance because we are far too many people. We are using far too much non-renewable resources and destroying nature with other life forms. This is called "Overshoot"

eternal growth - the ideology of leaders

Current scenarios show a world that keeps getting smaller because we keep growing, until nothing will be left and we will perish in a depleted environment.

That is called die-off

Das Ende - The End - La fin - El fin

We have it in our hands to stop growth and slow down our velocity towards total depletion and the end. We could even gain more time if we would slow down societal speeds, relocalise work and living, and demechanise. But it won't be enough to get back to return to a level of sustainability
