Do you think that our current environmental problems reflect a shift in humans valves over the past 50 years?w
No, I think our current environmental problems reflect our lack of foresight 50 years ago. The shift in human values since then has actual been to develop a GREATER appreciation for the environment (though still not enough, probably). We are trying to make up for our past mistakes.Do you think that our current environmental problems reflect a shift in humans valves over the past 50 years?wGreenhouse gases are persistent for about 100 years so you might need to double your time frame. Even if we could arrest causes of environmental degradation today, the environment will continue to decline. I think that humans today are the same as humans of yesterday and tomorrow. We will act to protect our environment when the threat is visible, imminent and affects us personally. Until then we all give lip service to the environment, including me.
