Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964)
American marine biologist, whose book Silent Spring (1962) are credited with advancing the global environmental movement. Although Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by chemical companies, it spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy, which led to a ban on DDT. ... In the 1980s, the policies of the Reagan Administration emphasized economic growth, rolling back many of the environmental policies adopted in response to Carson and her work.

Resilient Global Future

Michael Gerst, Paul Raskin, and Johan Rockström, “Contours of a Resilient
Global Future,” Sustainability 6, no. 1 (2014): 123–135,
www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/6/1/123 
The referenced paper links two streams of quantitative
research: global scenarios (Raskin et al., “The Century Ahead”) and the
emerging approach of “planetary boundaries” (Johan Rockström et al., “A Safe
Operating Space for Humanity,” Nature 461 [September 2009]: 472–475).
The synthesis clarifies the biophysical risks of alternative scenarios, on the one hand,
and illuminates the social drivers of Earth system change, on the other.

Risk research

Risk characteristics, 1-5:   
(1) global in nature.
(2) highly interconnected and intertwined, leading to complex causal structures.
(3) non-linear in the cause–effect relationships, often involving unknown tipping points or tipping areas.
(4) stochastic in their effect structure, so that more than one future is possible.
(5) systemic risks are due to the interplay of individual micro- and global macro-processes within the system under
consideration, combined with exogenous processes that modify the internal dynamics of the system.
