Obituary for Dr. Alexander King.
Dr. King was a co-founder of the Club of Rome. As a scientist, he dedicated himself to various causes over the decades of his life, including the control of Typhus. At one point late in life, he wrote: “Despite all my fears for the future of man and society, I find that I am curiously still optimistic. I still believe that Homo sapiens has the inner capability to develop to be something greater than itself.” Nonetheless, Dr. Rennie Whitehead felt that Dr. King had, in fact, become pessimistic, at least about controlling the emissions that are causing anthropogenic climate change.
