An expanded version of this paper will be published in a volume edited by Robert Socolow and John Harte of the Physics Department at Yale University. This paper also reflects an approach that is more fully developed—with supporting evidence and concrete proposals—in my book, This Endangered Planet, to be published early in 1971 by Random House.
