Is climate change a euphemism for growth?

"One question that stops conversations cold is, ‘What if our greatest societal challenge is not climate but growth?’

Climate change is really just an ambiguous term or understatement for the problem at the root of our energy production and consumption, which is growth in energy use, economic/population expansion, and environmental degradation resulting in overshoot that is vulnerable to collapse.” (Source: Energy Bulletin)

Interesting reflections on how all the energy spent on dealing with climate change distracts us from the real root cause of our "great disruption".
