VIDEO: A.Bartlett on Arithmetic, Population, and Energy

In this video Professor A.Bartlett talks about steady growth and its consequences on a local, national and global level. Steady growth causes exponential increase (of whatever is growing), the consequences of which are (to say the least) poorly understood by most people. His lecture covers themes like population, climate, economics, production-consumption, energy, policy-making, sustainability, and associates everything to the continuous growth (in population, demand, production). Although Industrial Ecology is not mentioned explicitly, and although he seems to overemphasize overpopulation as the source of all bad things, this is a highly relevant lecture that demonstrates a realistic approach and understanding to sustainability.
