30 Years of Reality vs. Limits to Growth – Graham Turner CSIRO

tltgWhen ‘The Limits to Growth’ was published by the Club of Rome in the 1970′s – the public was stunned. Finally somoeone was facing up to the reality that finite resources are just that – finite…

However, even more stunning was the speed with which our modern and complex economy would collapse without easy access to the materials we take for free – and for granted…

Using a computer model – The Limits to Growth predicted collapse sometime in the 21st century based on a businness as usual scenario. The book went on to sell 30 million copies worldwide and was published in many different languages.

Despite its popularity, humanity has not diverted from the business as usual attitude to consuming the Earth’s resources. 30 years on from publication, Graham Trurner of the Sustainable Eco-Systems division at the CSIRO has completed a comprehensive report – comparing reality, to what was predicted in the book.

Follow the Money joins Graham for a candid chat about the findings of the report below…
