Paper Summary:

This paper argues that humans, who continue to inhabit this planet, consciously and subconsciously are destroying the precious environment with the intent of making life easier and generating economical benefits. The author stresses that environmentalists continue to warn about over-consumption associated with limiting natural resources, the use of fossil fuels causing global warming, and deforestation as a threat to the survival of all species on earth because trees produce oxygen, a necessity for life. The paper underscores that there is an enormous gap between advocates of environmental protection and the advocates of economic development, who favor the use of natural resources to advance the economy and who are triumphing over the protectionists.

From the Paper:

"Environmentalists attribute our increased reliance on fossils fuels to generate electricity, heat and light homes and workplaces, to power our factories and to start our cars as causing the build up of greenhouse gases leading to global warming. Humans constant use of fossil fuels adds billions of tons of carbon dioxide to the air, intensifying global warming, and also results in climatic changes, coastal flooding, and have serious effects on all species. Durning also points to our over-consumption of woods and minerals as a factor behind destruction of tropical rainforest (an issue discussed in the following paragraph) resulting in extinction of many species."
