6 “Traditional ecological research investigates ecosystems in terms of biophysical, ecological, and evolutionary processes unaffected by human influences. ” Alberti, Marina, Marzluff, John M., Shulenberger, Eric, Bradley, Gordon, Ryan, Claire, and Craig Zumbrunnen. 2003. “Integrating Humans into Ecology: Opportunities and Challenges for Studying Urban Ecosystems.” BioScience. 53(12):1169–1179, 1170.; R.V. O’Neill has written, “The ecosystem concept typically considers human activities as external disturbances . . . Homo sapiens is the only important species that is considered external from its ecosystem, deriving goods and services rather than participating in ecosystem dynamics.” O’Neill, R.V. 2001. “Is It Time to Bury the Ecosystem Concept? (with full military honors, of course!).” Ecology. 82: 3275–3284. 3279.
7 “If it is very easy to substitute other factors for natural resources, then there is in principle no problem. The world can, in effect, get along without natural resources, so exhaustion is just an event, not a catastrophe.” Solow, Robert M. 1974. “The Economics of Resources or the Resources of Economics.” American Economic Review. 64(2):1-14. 11.
8 Meadows, Donella et al. 1972. The Limits to Growth: A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankind. Universe Books. A lengthy review of the book in The New York Times ascribed to it the projection that reserves of many or most crucial minerals would be exhausted within the next few decades. The Limits to Growth had attributed a view like this to the Bureau of Mines. For discussion see Turner, G.M. “A Comparison of The Limits to Growth with Thirty Years of Reality.” Global Environmental Change. 18: 397-311.

10 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. 2005. Ecosystems and Human Well-being: Synthesis. Washington, DC: Island Press. 13. The Assessment is careful to point out that food is not distributed equitably: “Despite the growth in per capita food production in the past four decades, an estimated 852 million people were undernourished in 2000–02.”
