Resources and Long-Range Forecasts
Smith, Waldo E.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 29, 5, 21-23, May 73
The author argues that forecasts of quick depletion of resources in the environment as a result of overpopulation and increased usage may not be free from error. Ignorance still exists in understanding the recovery mechanisms of nature. Long-range forecasts are likely to be wrong in such situations. (PS)
