Energy and the environment Something new under the sun
TL;DR: The relationship between energy use and climate change is often cast as an entirely new area of analysis, with new and challenging problems as discussed by the authors, however, many of the key questions are identical to those raised in the 1970s and 1980s about energy use, economic growth and environmental impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy, environment and development
TL;DR: The consumption patterns of the industrialized countries are already placing a grave burden on the earth's natural resources as discussed by the authors and if ecological disaster is to be averted, these patterns must be changed as a matter of urgency.
