The Truth About the EnvironmentFor many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have devel

27、oped a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out, that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat, that species are becoming disappeared in huge numbers, and that the planet?s air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows

28、 a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so. Second, more food is now produced per head of the world?s population than at any time in history. Fewer people are starving. Third, although species are indeed becoming disappeared, only about 0.7

29、% of them are dying out in the next 50 years, not 25-50%, as has so often been predicted.

This climatic phenomenon was accused of breaking tourism, causing allergies, melting the ski-slopes, and causing 22 deaths. However, according to an article in

34、the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, the damage was estimated at $4 billion but the benefits amounted to some $19 billion.The fourth factor is poor individual knowledge.
