The World Environmental Crisis Whose Finger on the Trigger?
Professor Barry Commoner , the American biologist, has recently criticised the assumptions underlying the world model on which the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's study The Limits to Growth was based. Commoner argues that the crisis. including the population problem, has been triggered off bv the developed countries and above all by technologies directed towards short-term ends. Professor Commoner's views were recorded at the annual conference of the Royal Institute of British Architects last July.
