Depletion of fossil fuels and anthropogenic climate change—A review (2013, background): “In retrospect, 30 years of reality actually coincides well with the ‘‘standard run’’ scenario (Turner, 2008).”
Complexity and the Economics of Climate Change: A Survey and a Look Forward (2017, unknown): “…such as the role of uncertainty, or the role of agents’ heterogeneity and the structures of interaction networks are not adequately taken into account.13 11See the literature spawned by The Limits to Growth (Meadows et al., 1972), as summarized e.g. by Turner (2008) and Dosi and Grazzi (2009).”
The Post-growth Challenge: Secular Stagnation, Inequality and the Limits to Growth (2019, background): “Their analysis too has stood the test of time (Turner, 2008; Jackson and Webster, 2016).”
Building a Sustainable and Desirable Economy-in-Society-in-Nature (2013, methodology): “In fact, the model’s standard run scenario, made in 1972, fits the data so far very well [173].”
On the Cusp of Global Collapse? Updated Comparison of The Limits to Growth with Historical Data (2012, methodology): “BOX 2: A Comparison of The Limits to Growth with 30 Years of Reality In our 30-year data review, a comprehensive comparison of three LtG scenarios from the 1972 publication was made with publicly available historical data (for 1970 to 2000)(Turner 2008a, 2008b).”

Fossil fuel depletion and socio-economic scenarios: An integrated approach (2014, result): “In spite of our narrower scope, our conclusions meet with the Limits to Growth reports (reinforced after 40 years of favorable comparison (Turner, 2012, 2008)), which stated that “current policies will produce global overshoot and collapse through ineffective efforts to anticipate and cope with…”
