I'm wrong on what? Because I said that poverty is an underlying cause of a lot of environmental degradation? You ever been to a developing country and noticed that they don't exactly have the cleanest water? How about how a lack of economic choices drives people around the world in agriculture with direct environmental effects like deforestation. The fact of the matter is, that there are countless pieces of evidence and studies that support the position I offered. But you probably don't care that much to try and find out.
Now I'm about to lose you here: The theoretical Environmental Kuznets Curve has been empirically tested, for a variety of pollutants. And while the results don't show perfect bell curves as the theory explains, the trends are there for
most pollutants: increased wealth decreases pollution levels. Again, it's not true for all pollutants. CO2 levels, for example will probably continue to increase as wealth increases.
I'm going to assume that you don't work in the environmental field like I do, so I'm not really worried if you don't agree with me.
But if you want to disagree with me that's fine. I'd like to know exactly how you think I'm wrong here instead of just telling me I'm wrong, especially since I didn't write anything controversial.

Can we all accept that we live on a shit planet and stop pointing it out and doing something that ACTUALLY IMPROVES IT instead? Talk talk talk. That's no use to anyone.

By the way, what did you do today to improve the world?
