Limits to Growth

Competing Worldviews At Chrysalis Stage Of Humanity

December 12, 2015 Alnoor Ladha, www.kosmosjournal.org ,
By Alnoor Ladha for Kosmos Journal - In 1972, the Club of Rome published a groundbreaking study titled The Limits to Growth. MIT scientists used computer simulations to create scenarios playing out how exponential growth interacts with finite resources. The findings were devastating. The growth trends in human population, combined with rampant consumption, led to resource depletion, destructive pollution, social unrest and ecosystem failure. Without limits on growth we would inevitably end up with civilizational collapse.

Last Call: A Manifesto For Transformation

This is more than an economic and political crisis: it's a crisis of civilization. For the most part, European citizens believe the idea that consumer society can “progress” into the future (and that it should). Meanwhile, a good part of the inhabitants of the planet hope to achieve our level of material comfort. However, we have succeeded in achieving this level of production and consumption at the cost of exhausting natural resources and energy sources, and disrupting the equilibrium of Earth's ecosystems. None of this is new. The most lucid researchers and scientists have warned us since the 1970's: to continue with the current trends of growth (economic, demographic, in the use of resources, generation of pollutants and increase in inequality) the most probably result for the 21st century would be the collapse of civilization. Today the news has accumulated that indicates that the path of unrestricted growth is already a genocide in slow motion.
