Neither Democrats nor Republicans have sufficiently accepted the dilemma we face in terms of the human relationship to our habitat, the Earth. Dr. William Rees explains why this lack of understand is essentially guaranteed to end industrial-technical civilization incrementally over the next 25 years, culminating in a population of no more than 2 billion people by 2125, and perhaps far fewer.
Dr. William Rees is an ecologist, ecological economist, Professor Emeritus and former Director of the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning. He researches global ecological trends with special interests in cities as vulnerable components of the human ecosystem and in psycho-cognitive barriers to societal change.
