Dr. Morris Miller (U Ottawa and former ADM at what is now Natural Resources Canada) provided a brief background to the paper he wrote in 1977 about limits to growth. The paper itself was promised for a later date.
Professor Miller felt that, to succeed, cries for environmentally helpful policies and institutional arrangements had to be placed inside the framework of policies that could lead to a more equitable world.
He went on to explain his thoughts about environment vs growth, and how to deal with the evidence of serious environmental problems without sounding either too concerned or dismissive.
[His thoughts remain relevant in the 2020s, the problems have grown ever more dire, and the number of people trying to deal with those problems has swelled greatly. Ed.]
