exclude from this index coal, gas and oil, and inexhaustible solar energy, it seems pretty funny finally ...

Well, you know, as I tell my students to provoke them ...
oil is renewable, and the sun is non-renewable ...
... respectively at the scale of 300 Millions, and 5 billions of years.
In any case, again, this index does not reflect much. Because the vast majority of our activities derive from 90 Millions of barrels a day ...
So go poking around in the renewable x% ... without integrating the sun and its derived energies ...

This ranking is, in my opinion, a vast pseudo-ecological humbug of the kind that mass merdias love to relay
..
It is from January 1er 1 second that we live on credit on fossil fuels ... that is to say, one of the main resources ...
I would like to know the methodology of calculation ... but I will not linger long on it ...
ps: edit ok we agree it's not great ...

Re:
Resources of the planet: humanity will live on credit from Monday
AFP the 03 August 2016
Humanity will have consumed all the resources that the planet can renew in a year on Monday and will therefore live "on credit" until December 31, calculated the NGO Global Footprint Network, noting that this moment occurs earlier and earlier every year.
Monday August 8 marks the "earth overshoot day" for the Earth. From that date, "we therefore live on credit," write Global Footprint and WWF in a statement.
For its calculations, Global Footprint takes into account in particular the carbon footprint, resources consumed for fishing, livestock, crops, construction and water use.
In 2015, the "day of the overrun" occurred on August 13th. The date "has inexorably advanced since the 1970s", note the NGOs.
In 1970, it was only December 23. Since, its date has not stopped advancing: 3 November in 1980, 13 October in 1990, 4 October in 2000, 3 September in 2005, 28 August in 2010.
"To meet our needs, today we need the equivalent of 1,6 planets" per year, note Global Footprint and WWF.
"The cost of this overconsumption is already visible: water shortages, desertification, soil erosion, fall in agricultural productivity and fish stocks, deforestation, disappearance of species", deplore the NGOs.
"Living on credit can only be temporary because nature is not a deposit in which we can draw indefinitely", they stress.
The emissions of CO2, the main greenhouse gas, are the most important factor of exceedance: they represent "60% of our global ecological footprint", specify the WWF and Global Footprint.
According to the annual State of the Climate, a document released on Tuesday in which 450 scientists from around the world participated, greenhouse gas emissions reached record levels in 2015.
The international community pledged at the Paris Climate Conference last December to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to curb global warming.
According to Global Footprint, in 2030, if global CO2 emissions do not decrease, humanity will have swallowed up its "ecological budget" as of June 28.

Re: The day of passing (Fumisterie Global Footprint Network)
We also invented the concept of the day of the tax override ... also in summer
For sure it should arouse more interest from taxpayers

it was also mentioned that this day was rather biased because it took into account neither the renewable energies, nor the consumption of fossils ...

Yes the title is quite explicit I think
But this kind of biased calculations seem to please journalists ...
