John Firor and Judith Jacobsen summarize the current status of these two issues, show how they are related to one another, and prescribe steps that governments, economies, societies, and individuals can adopt to stabilize both population and climate.Firor and Jacobsen argue that two revolutions are necessary to achieve a stable population and freedom from human-induced climate change: a social revolution that improves equity, particularly the status of women, and a technical revolution that yields vastly greater efficiency in energy and materials use than we have today. They offer a vision that incorporates these changes, and they urge professionals and activists to work to achieve them, even in the face of great odds. 606 $aPopulation$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aPopulation policy 606 $aClimatic changes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPopulation$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aPopulation policy. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a363.738/745 700 $aFiror$b John$01055081 701 $aJacobsen$b Judith$01055082 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452232703321 996 $aThe crowded greenhouse$92488213 997 $aUNINA
