Abstract:
In 1972, three scientists from MIT created a computer model that analyzed global resource consumption and production. Their results shocked the world and created stirring conversation about global resource use beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Now, preeminent environmental scientists Donnella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows have teamed up again to update and expand their original findings in ""The Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Global Update."" Meadows, Randers, and Meadows are international environmental leaders recognized for their groundbreaking research into early sign.
