He Was Wrong, Just Like Gore Mk2
7 Apr 2008
In 1911 the Australian statistician Sir George Knibbs warned: "The
limits of human expansion are much nearer than popular opinion imagines.
The exhaustion of sources of energy is perilously near."
Turned out he was wrong.
At the time, influential experts the world over were listening to
Knibbs. His warnings circulated through the US and Britain, and from
India to France. He was the Al Gore of an earlier generation.
His message found a ready audience: population growth was cast, not just
by him, as "the world's greatest crisis", "the world's basic problem"
and "the greatest disaster of all time". (Sound anything like the
climate change warnings?)
Sounds exactly like climate change warnings.
