人类与地球（节选）

本世纪，在确定人类与地球关系的物质现实状况的两个因素方面发生了重大变化：一是人口突然惊人地增长——每十年增加相当于一个中国的人口；二是科学技术革命突然加速/ 突飞猛进，几乎难以想象地扩展了我们以焚烧、砍伐、挖掘、搬运、和转化构成地球的物质的方式来影响周围世界的能力/ 扩展了我们影响周围世界的能力，方式是焚烧、砍伐、挖掘、搬运和转化构成地球的物质。

人口剧增既是人类与地球关系发生变化的原因之一，又是显示/ 说明这一变化之惊人最显著的事例之一，从历史背景来看，尤其如此。自20万年前现代人出现到裘利斯·恺撒时代，地球上生活的人类还不到二亿五千万。1500年后，克里斯托弗·哥伦布扬帆启航去寻找新世界时，地球上大约有5亿人口。到1776年托马斯·杰斐逊起草《独立宣言》时，人口又翻了一番，到了10亿。到本世纪中叶，第二次世界大战结束时，人口刚好超过20亿。

同人口爆炸的情形一样，在18世纪，科技革命开始缓缓加速。这场不断发展的革命也突然以翻番的方式加速进行了。例如，现在许多科学领域有一句公论：近十年重大的发现比以往整个科学史上还要多。诚然，任何单一的新发现对于人类和地球的关系所造成的影响都不及/ 比不上核武器对人类和战争的关系所造成的影响那么深远。然而，这些科学发现合在一起，就从根本上改变了人类开发地球以求生存的累积的能力，使得不加节制的开发的后果不堪设想，同不加节制的核战争的后果毫无二致/ 一模一样/ 如出一辙。这是千真万确的。
