Alarmist report from United Nations

The Global Environment Report (GEO-4) published by the United Nations Environment Programme gives a gloomy view of the outlook for the environment. The report self-consciously refers to the Brundtland Report (Our Common Future) of 20 years ago. It also says there is a need “to correct the technology-centred development paradigm”. I do not have time at present to do a critique of the report but it is certainly important to do at some point.
