The theory of slow-fast dynamics helps us to gain new insights into the system's behaviour and enables one to reduce the inherent unpredictability of a "natural catastrophe" in Wonderland. Though we cannot predict the exact date of such an "environmental crash", we can state the specific demographic, economic and environmental constellations of our artificial world at which the sustainability of nature becomes endangered. date: 1996-03 date_type: published publisher: Springer id_number: 10.1007/BF01874842 iiasapubid: XJ-96-079 iiasa_bibref: Environmental Modeling & Assessment; 1(1-2):3-17 (March 1996) iiasa_bibnotes: [doi:10.1007/BF01874842].
