Experts have warned that if future generations fail to change

their lifestyle, they will need “extra planets” to survive. According

and rationally according to each one's self-interest , despite their

group's long-term best interests. Some also see the "tragedy" as an

example of emergent behaviour , the outcome of individual

interactions in a complex system .Play Video...
