“THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION HAVE PUT MORE STRAIN ON A FINITE AMOUNT OF LAND THAN ANY OTHER PLACE ON EARTH China has the longest political and cultural tradition in the world of seeking to master and tame the environment for human purposes Kirby said in a recent interview in his Morgan Hall office.
It is an infrastructure state for which there is no parallel largely based on a belief that earth and landscape are to be transformed by roads highways trains and dams. But the enormous growth of the Chinese population the country s recent and rapid industrialization and thousands of years of environmental degradation have put more strain on a finite amount of land than any other place on earth. That strain is manifesting as sinking cities shrinking Indonesia Mobile Number List reefs wilting crops and diminishing water supplies. To combat it Kirby believes market a market that continues to grow exponentially its . billion citizens represent almost percent of the world s population according to World Bank statistics but which is situated on only percent of the world s arable land. Balancing the relationship between domestic supply and demand and bringing that relationship into harmony with the environment will be crucial to the country s economic and indeed the world s future health.
Pollution is tolerable when it s accompanied by economic growth and that s why the government has been so successful at doing much of what it wants with the landscape of China to date Kirby explained. But I think between man made pollution and the degradation of the natural environment we ve reached a tipping point where the government has an obligation to reverse course.
