Abstract
The world today is undergoing rapid environmental change, driven by human population growth
and economic development. This change encompasses such diverse phenomena as the clearing
of rainforests for agriculture, the eutrophication of lakes and shallow seas by fertilizer run-off,
depletion of fish stocks, acid rain, and global warming. These changes are cause for concern—or
alarm—among some, and are regrettable if unavoidable side effects of economic growth for
others.
