The major global trends in population, food, greenhouse, and oil

Meer over het boek

The essay explores the interconnected global issues of population, food, greenhouse gases, and oil, highlighting their complex environmental, economic, social, political, and cultural implications. It questions the notion of fixed "major trends" in these areas, while examining the contrasting perspectives of figures like Björn Lomborg and Lester Brown. The author emphasizes the subjective nature of identifying trends, influenced by various data sources and interpretative methods, and underscores the significant impact these distinctions have on policy and the future of the planet.
