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 'overshoot, ' or 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 signs of wear on the planet. Citing climate change as the most tangible example of our current overshoot, the scientists now provide us with an updated scenario and a plan to reduce our needs to meet the carrying capacity of the planet.Over the past three decades, population growth and global warming have forged on with a striking semblance to the scenarios laid out by the World3 computer model in the original "Limits to Growth." While Meadows, Randers, and Meadows do not make a practice of predicting future environmental degradation, they offer an analysis of present and future trends in resource use, and assess a variety of possible outcomes.In many ways, the message contained in "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a warning. Overshoot cannot be sustained without collapse. But, as the authors are careful to point out, there is reason to believe that humanity can still reverse some of its damage to Earth if it takes appropriate measures to reduce inefficiency and waste.Written in refreshingly accessible prose, "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a long anticipated revival of some of the original voices in the growing chorus of sustainability. "Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Update" is a work of stunning intelligence that will expose for humanity the hazy but critical line between human growth and human development.
断断续续读到一半,看下去的动力正逐渐丧失。我不知道读者中有多少人像我一样自诩已经是环境科学的门内人,也不知道他们从中汲取了哪些有益信息。 我希望在整本书看完后能有与现在相左而更全面的观感,目前记录在此的,是怕阅读时间太长而流失的那些印象。 真的很钦佩作者花...
評分可能由于是1972年的经典,当时的很多观点现在看来已经成为共识,但是罗马俱乐部对于人类命运的深深关切和所利用的系统动力学的分析方法还是具有一定的启发性的。 可能最需要看的还是插页里面的那张世界模型的图。 原文链接:http://lijuan.yo2.cn/2008/04/30/reading-limits-t...
評分近两个月一直在读罗马俱乐部前主席奥雷利奥 佩西的另一本书《人的素质》。增长的极限,读了也不错,我建议大家读一下。
