The Ecological Crisis: A Myth or Reality
At the present time the Earth accommodates more then 5
billion people. Half of which are undernourished. A total of 4 million deaths
occur each year because of starvation.
Mankind has finally realized the threat of an
increasing population and has faced the fact that something must be done. The
food-supply increase lags considerably behind the immense growth of population.
Besides conditions for life grow steadily worse due to
numerous facets of environmental pollution. And worst of all, today's man constantly
contributes to his own deadly crisis. We have got too many cars, too many
factories, too much sewage and carbon dioxide, too little water and food
deficiency - all that can be easily faced to too many people.
That is why many western scientists say that our world
is going through an ecological crisis which will mean the gradual destruction
of the human race. Our scientists are not that pessimistic, although they do
think that man's increased tampering with the world around him is posing a
growing threat to the biosphere.
It is not too late to forestall what could be drastic
and irreversible changes in the environment and ensure that the world will be a
healthy place for the present and future generations to live in.
