al gore
thomas malthus
adam smith

Thomas Malthus is known for proposing the Malthusian theory, which states that human population growth (growing exponentially) outpaces the growth of food and resources (growing arithmetically), creating a negative relationship. Al Gore is known for environmental advocacy, Adam Smith for economic theory (invisible hand), and Michael Moore for documentaries. So the correct writer is Thomas Malthus.
