Economic growth at any price

One can never step into the same river twice. Everything is in a constant state of change and subject to various circumstances. Throughout our entire history on Earth, there have never been two generations that faced exactly the same conditions and opportunities. Changes in the atmosphere and cosmic radiation have always prompted adaptations in living beings. This usually occurred slowly and moderately, allowing most living organisms and plants the time to adapt. However, in the last two human generations, rapid technological advancement and globalization have created altered living conditions, where no one knows if the Earth and its inhabitants can adapt to these changes so quickly.
