"The Wizard and the Prophet" is a very good read in that respect. It's about the contrasting views and results of these two scientists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Vogt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Vogt > "According to Charles C. Mann, "Vogt...laid out the basic ideas for the modern environmental movement. In particular, he founded what the Hampshire College population researcher Betsy Hartmann has called 'apocalyptic environmentalism'—the belief that unless humankind drastically reduces consumption and limits population, it will ravage global ecosystems." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug > "...an American agronomist who led initiatives worldwide that contributed to the extensive increases in agricultural production termed the Green Revolution. Borlaug was awarded multiple honors for his work, including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal." Was one right, and the other wrong? Or perhaps there is a broader understanding, one that can incorporate both viewpoints.
