No question, he was one of the few best-known scientists able to communicate some of the scientific concerns about the environment in a wakeup call to the public of the late 60s and the 70s. My problem with articles like the one linked is that they misuse terms, misplace emphasis, and employ hyperbole to inflate their subject, so the historical perspective becomes skewed.

I remember reading "The Closing Circle: Man, Nature and Technology," in the early 1970s. This guy has had a profound influence on many of us.
