| Summary / Abstract (Note) | It's hardly surprising that a sentient species such as ours would be attentive to its immediate environment. Nor is the extension of that immediacy to the planet overall difficult to understand: mankind has always been interested in nature for both practical and aesthetic reasons. It follows that the broad effort toward scientific explanation of the impact of people and systems on nature has supported what has become a global environmental movement, at least conceptually. And not only conceptually, because there have been repeated gatherings of concerned leaders intent on responding to current and future problems associated with environmental impact, such as warming trends and sea levels. Perhaps not since the Communist International has there been such a self-conscious and comprehensive effort to accomplish large-scale goals. |
