Tracking the anthropogenic drivers of ecological impacts
Article Abstract:
Population and affluence the two anthropogenic factors and their effects that simultaneously grew in the industrial era and are frequently assumed to be the drivers of global environmental change are discussed. The results refocus attention on population and material affluence as principal threats to sustainability and challenge predictions of an ameliorating effect of rising affluence on impacts.
