Statement made by Larry Summers, Chief Economist of the World Bank in 1991, “There are no… limits to the carrying capacity of the earth that are likely to bind any time in the foreseeable future. There isn’t a risk of an apocalypse due to global warming or anything else. The idea that we should put limits on growth because of some natural limit, is a profound error and one that, were it ever to prove influential, would have staggering social costs.” Leaked 1992 memo: “a given amount of health-impairing pollution should be done in the country with the lowest cost, which will be the country with the lowest wages. I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest-wage country is impeccable.” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summers_memo#:~:text=According%20to%20Pritchett%2C%20the%20memo,Larry%20and%20the%20World%20Bank%22.
