Information About

Albert Bartlett




Professor Bartlett often explains how sustainable growth is an Oxymoron . His bleak view is based on the fact that a modest percentage growth can equate to huge escalations over short periods of time. He has famously stated that "''The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the Exponential Function ''."

He regards Overpopulation as The Greatest Challenge facing humanity, and promotes Sustainable Living . Bartlett opposes the Cornucopian school of thought (as advocated by people such as Julian Lincoln Simon ), and refers to it as The New Flat Earth Society .

J. B. Calvert (1999) has proposed that Bartlett's Law , will result in the exhaustion of petrochemical resources due to the Exponential Growth of the World Population (as per the Malthusian Growth Model ).
