The US is not losing forested acres at present. The fish are a real concern and a serious problem, but not a "we will need a new world" type of problem. In the US and other rich countries we are emitting less air and water pollution then we where a decade or two ago. Developing countries will put out more but will have more concern for the environment and be better able to afford the costs involved in reducing environmental damage as they get richer. Water is a problem only because it is heavily subsidized. Reduce those subsides to large industrial and agricultural users and it will be less of a problem.

I'm not saying everything is just fine and dandy but there is nothing currently happening that will cause us
to need a new world.
