...that global thermal pollution, not crowding, will probably impose the first total limit to economic growth on earth. Many people estimate that the thermal pollution required to bring earth's present population up to America's present standard of living, without depending on nonrenewable resources, will be enough to melt the polar icecaps and drown most of the people and almost all of the farms in the world.
