Arithmetic, Population and Energy – Dr Albert A. Bartlett
May 4, 2010 by: marijaOn YouTube this is labeled as The Most IMPORTANT Video You’ll Ever See. Well, I am not sure if it is THE most important one, but it is certainly very important. Dr Albert A. Bartlett addresses the issues of over-population, over-consumption, fossil-fuel dependence, the decline of democracy as there are more people per each policy maker; and comes to the conclusion that we can not have both sustainability and growth.
“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”
