Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
whose book, Planetary Overload, has experts and analysts worried. Their concern is not over McMichaels research, nor his conclusions, but rather what exactly might be the concern in the future.
McMichael offers that the biggest concern to affect mankind in the next hundred years is likely to be health related issues due to overpopulation. But does that analysis offer a
complete picture? And given that this is the greatest likely problem of the century, are the solutions any easier than the conclusions? Once, it can be said, the Earth was
a great globe teeming with wildlife, rugged mountains, vast bodies of water, and seas of grasslands. However, with the advent of mans dominion over his environment, many of these resources
were bent to the task of serving mankind and in the wake of this usage entire ecosystems that had existed and survived for, quite possibly, millennium were destroyed, manipulated, or
mutated. It can be stated that there are no virgin areas left in the United States and quite frankly one is hard pressed to find any virgin territories of any
size left on the globe. Mankind has affected almost every ecosystem, it can be stated, on the planet. Millions of food chains, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle and water cycles have
been disrupted or destroyed, and those are just the cycles that are known. It may not be apparent for many years just how significant this disruption may be to mankind,
but preliminary results from other ecosystems, such as water and air, have already borne out the theory that mankind is polluting its only sustainable source of life. However, McMichael narrows
his focus to only state that the Earth can only handle so many human occupants, then they will simply begin to die, mostly due to health related issues, not pollution.
