Re: huntergatherers and GDP

I am beginning to think you are sidestepping my question to you: Is it or isn't it true that when you assess ecological footprint per GDP you are only assessing how efficiently a nation produces wealth when they consume resources,

We are not sidestepping it: we replied that the two are inextricably connected, and invited you to agree. Your answer was "yes and no", and that you'll get back to us.

and totally ignores the question of how much resources they consume, which is the focus of the WWF report?

Yes. Our post was primarily about the report's use of the footprint-per-capita measure, and to this end it largely conceded (for the sake of argument) their way of calculating the footprint itself.
