	Hardin Tribute
		Garrett Hardin was one of the few individuals I've known who greatly exceeded his own expectations of human virtue.
		He was the lead, since, as his friends joked, “Garrett Hardin plays second fiddle to nobody." The annual recitals at the Hardin’s Santa Barbara home were a festive occasions, not to be missed.
		The unique value of Hardin’s “Tragedy of the Commons” resides in his application of this ancient insight to contemporary environmental issues such as population growth, pollution, economic policy and sustainable development.

		Attempting to write an “In Memoriam” for Garrett Hardin in a dozen paragraphs is like trying to describe the ecology of a particular forest in the same amount of space — or trying to inflate a blimp with a bicycle pump.
		Professor Hardin and his wife, Jane, exited their life in a dignified manner on September 14, 2003, in keeping with their desire to leave a little more room on “Spaceship Earth” for the next generations.
		Garrett also stressed the fact that exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely, whether in the realm of human population or economic growth.

		Hardin does, however, deserve credit for recognizing the magnitude and the inevitability of this tragedy: It's not a deviancy or madness but rather perfectly rational behavior that leads to the long-term ruin of the commons, a word that evokes communal agricultural lands but also applies to ecosystems, rivers, oceans, organisms or mineral resources.
		Hardin's greatest service was presenting this notion in the form of a captivating parable about an overgrazed pasture and expressing it in precise, resonant language that left no room for appealing the initial verdict.
		Hardin was a man of many causes, yet several of his major writings were variations on the theme of the ruined commons.

	Garrett Hardin
		A microbiologist by training, Garrett Hardin became famous in environmental circles for his 1968 essay, The Tragedy of the Commons, which argued for strict controls on reproductive choice to solve the population problem.
		(1) Hardin’s success is mystifying not merely because he consistently presents pessimistic scenarios unwarranted by the evidence, but because unlike other doomsayers Hardin is almost alone in his rejection of incentives-based management of population and instead advocates blatantly authoritarian coercion which would trample on human rights and civil liberties at every turn.
		Hardin vacillates on his views of abortion, arguing strictly for choice at times and other times implying women might need to be forced to have abortions.

		Hardin presented this case as a cautionary tale for a modern society that was abusing the environment.
		Hardin, who contracted polio as a child and walked with the aid of crutches, saw his harsh message on overpopulation as a form of tough love.

	The Tragedy of the Commons, by Garrett Hardin (1968)
		Clearly Hardin proves that when people in any finite biosystem accept the modern economic ideal of steadily increasing their wealth and consumption, a collapse of the commons which sustains them is inevitable.
		Hardin has correctly noted that nature has devised the means by which "to commensurate the incommensurables," that is, to resolve the conflicting needs and interests of all of the Earth's various life forms.
		Hardin's experiment proved that moral principles (such as equal justice, human rights, and moral obligations) cannot be universal and unconditional in all social and environmental contexts.

		Hardin invites members of this committee interested in pursuing his Commons theory beyond the original 1968 article to read this book which explicates and expands upon the 1968 article.
		Hardin: As I understand it, the CWA regulates only what you Senators term "point sources," and that agriculture's contaminated returns are a "non-point source." Thus, the West's major water polluter can degrade western water bodies, the commons if you will, as cesspools almost with impunity.

		Though Hardins career has spanned a third of a century (and shows no signs of slowing down yet), it wasn't until December 13, 1968 — when his revolutionary article, "The Tragedy of the Commons", was published in Science magazine — that he achieved a position of prominence (some would say of notoriety) among American ecologists.
		HARDIN: Yes, there are, and I can best discuss this matter in terms of the concept of triage, which was first described by a physician in the Napoleonic army and can probably be best defined by using a military example.
		HARDIN: Yes, it is. However, I want to refer to the work of William and Paul Paddock on this matter, because they were responsible for applying the system of triage to such problems.

		Thirty years ago this December, ecologist Garrett Hardin invoked the analogy of a "commons" in support of his thesis that as human populations increased, there would be increasing pressure on finite resources at both the local and particularly the global levels, with the inevitable result of overexploitation and ruin.
		Hardin argued that common resources could be exploited by anyone who could assert their rights to do so.
		While 30 years of research has shown that Hardin's initial thesis emphasizing inevitability and ruin was perhaps too bleak on the local scale, it has been enormously helpful in generating thought-provoking analyses across a wide range of disciplines.

		Hardin also favors sharp restrictions on immigration, high tariff walls and a reversal of the current economic thinking that, he says, nurtures the illusion that perpetual growth is possible.
		Hardin (human ecology, emeritus, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara), founder of the field of human ecology, has written a learned, witty, and controversial book evaluating contemporary ethical assumptions regarding population planning and world population growth.

	Gene Expression: Garrett Hardin dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ecologist Garrett Hardin is dead (double suicide with his wife).
		Hardin says (without any proof or calculations whatsoever) that our quality of life would be better with 100 million people than 6 billion people...ignoring the tremendous dividends from labor specialization, the advance of technology, etc.
		So it may be that Hardin was off by a factor of ten or even more on this or that, but that does not justify saying that the question is impossible to answer and should be ignored.

		Hardin made his views clearer in a letter to Science which has been posted in this forum many times.
		Where there is a Commons, and where exploitation of it is beggining to hit the natural limits of that resource,then some system of managment is necessary.
		Myself, I think the true sadness of Hardin's work is that he had such an important insight, and when applied as here to National Parks, or elsewhere to pastures or fisheries, it is so obviously ture.

	Living Within Limits by Garrett Hardin
		Hardin follows Hubbert [1974] in projecting that world petroleum production will reach a peak around the year 2000, and be back down to 1900 levels well before the year 2100, at approximately 1 per-cent of the peak production rate.
		Hardin believes that this phase will occur long before energy use has declined to two-thirds of its peak rate.
		Hardin goes on to say that business success is more often achieved by fashioning "a bifurcation in the accounting system that channels the costs of [the] enterprise to society, while directing the profits to [the entrepreneur]." This is making the costs common and the profit private, hence the appellation, "CC-PP."
