While there is obviously popular, political, and scientific disagreement on the extent of the various environmental problems facing humankind, there is also a growing agreement that many of these problems have reached a stage of crisis. Since “proving” that such a crisis exists is beyond the ability of writing , I will simply refer here to the growing and unavoidable body of evidence that the condition of our planet represents a real and significant threat to the survivalist of humans and other life forms.
Specifically, let me point to three of the more obvious and worrisome environmental challenges that have emerged as we enter the new millennium:
“An atmosphere that is apparently warmer than it has been in millions of years, almost certainly as a result of human activity, with potentially disastrous social,economic, and political consequences”.
The disappearance of hundreds of plant and animal species anually are the result of the destruction of ecosystems. Increasing economic and political tensions over decreasing water resources in places like the Middle East and the American West, where identifiable environmental effects of the overuse of water are evident”.
