Question

Historically, economic success has had a negative impact on the environment.

A. True

B. False

Answer 1

B. False.  Would you really prefer economic FAILURE?   You're talking horseapples and oranges.  There is nothing immoral about success.

Absence of responsibility and accountability have impact.  Free enterprise technology provides fixes, which brings the best of those economic success.

Answer 2

Nonsense. The last period of economic prosperity was in the 1990's, and there was, even if just marginal, improvement in the environment. The economy began on its current downward trend in the Bush Jr years, and now the environment is rather nasty.
