<p>there is, of course, no legitimate branch of science that nables us to predict the future accuartely. Yet the degree of change in the world is so overwhelming and so promising that the future, I believe, is far brighter than anyone has comtemplated since the end of the second world war.</p>
<p>Is the world changing for the better?</p>
<p>Here goes...</p>
<pre><code>The many economic factors that may make the world somewhat better has taken a toll on the environment. The artic glaciers ar beginning to melt, the ozone layer hole has grown tremendously, and our exotic species are disappearing.
The levels of carbon dioxide has increasd. Although the atmospheres of the earth are meant to keep dangerous ultraviolet rays out, they are having a reverse effect by keeping the CO2 in. Due to this greenhouse effect, the global temperature has risen by 2 F. As artic glaciers have begun to melt, the sea levels have reisen. Many of the Earth's major cities are along coastlines. Meaning that as time goes on, many people will have to redistribute themselves. The massive hole in the ozone over the Anartica has allowed the sun's ultraviolet rays in. This will lead to an increase in kin cancer and damaged cataracts as was demonstrated by the sheep raised in Anartica.

<p>Overpopulation is another current wold issue. China for example hold 1/5 of the world's population on land a little larger than the U.S. The increase in farmers with little or no education has led to a misuse of the grasslands. Once the grassland (close to the desert) vegatation is gone, the land becomes stricken and it too will become a desert, unable for life to sustain itself. It is also safe to say that the increase of human population has led to the decrease of the world's diversity. People have cut down rainforests which hold much of the world's diversity for the use of farmland.<br>
The world is not changing for the better because the environment is dying. If one was to look at the Earth as a living creature, one could say that it is dying.</p>
