This book is one of a series that looks at critical issues of our times. The subject of this book is the environment and a review of many of the major environmental issues facing us today. The book does not offer any new science or attempt to take sides. This book has relied heavily on the vast wealth of information that is in the public domain. Almost all the material comes from federal, state and local public domain websites as well as environmental groups, energy companies and trade associations and politicians. These include the Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, the White House, Natural Resources Defense Council, Audubon Society, Heartland Institute, Heritage Foundation, U.S. National Academies of Science, NASA, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, United Nations Environment Programme and many more. The sources for the material contained herein are presented at the end of each chapter under the heading Source Material. Sources that are summarized or used for research, but not quoted directly, are listed under Further Reading.
The environment is everything around us. We are all part of the environment and have an impact on it whether we realize it or not. All the components of the environmentland, water, air, plants and animalshave their own individual and collective impacts on it and on us.
Although the earth has been around for millions of years, man has only been seriously interested in protecting and preserving the environment for less than 200 years and the terms conservationism and environmentalism are little more than 100 years old.
For most of history mankind was too busy surviving to worry about anything other than putting food on the table, staying warm in the winter, protecting the family and keeping enemies at bay. The industrial revolution changed all that. In the late-eighteenth century new power-driven manufacturing processes created millions of jobs. The mechanization of cotton spinning powered by steam or water increased the output of one worker about a thousand fold. Cotton replaced wool as the main textile material and demand led to huge plantations around the world and especially in the southern United States.
