There is nothing inevitable about choices that are
environmentally destructive. In 1800, there were indeed 550
steam engines in Europe but there were over 500,000 water mills.
Coal was more expensive than hydro power and many
industrialists were not persuaded of its added value. It was the
economic recession of 1825-1848 with increasing agitation by
textile workers over salaries and conditions which made the use
of coal-powered, steam-driven spinning machines a much more
attractive proposition. More machines meant fewer workers and
fewer workers meant fewer demands, notably for wage rises.
Therefore, the substantial increase in CO2 emissions in Britain in
the first half of the nineteenth century, which through economic
competition, war and imperial domination would start a
worldwide trend, was not the blind outcome of the machinery of
‘progress’ but the cumulative consequence of a set of very
specific decisions taken by identifiable socio-economic actors.
Similarly, the notion that ecological awareness is only a
very recent phenomenon where “humanity” finally woke up to
the environmental consequences of its economic activities does
not stand up to scrutiny. In the period from the beginnings of the
industrial revolution to the decade when the movement towards
fossil fuels use becomes more marked, awareness of the
relationships between humans and their environment or the
“natural world” was widespread. Environmental risks have been
clearly and repeatedly signalled from the time of the industrial
revolution onwards. The notion of an unthinking humanity
bringing destruction upon itself does not bear up to examination.

Age of the Anthropocene. New York: Routledge, 2017. p. 11-12 (adapted).

Equipped with spiritual armor against the threats and
blows of a new, strange life, literate man marches forth to win
victories in war and statecraft, art and science, religion and
business. But in achieving these triumphs each civilization brings
into being, willy-nilly, a larger and more complex community,
increasingly divided against itself by internal cleavages of needs
and creeds and fraught with growing contradictions in all spheres
of life between theory and practice, faith and works, ideals and
realities. The new unity of sentiment and purpose which
gloriously characterizes the coming of the great age proves to be
short-lived.
The uneasy balance of instinct, egotism, and ethics,
woefully lost with the initial transition from preliteracy to
civilization and transiently regained in new devotions to tribal
gods, human or divine, is again lost as the orbit of civilization
moves from tribe and kingdom and nation to the complex
and confusing imperium of the great society and the World State.
The acids of rationalism and skepticism dissolve old loyalties.
The injunctions of morality, even when reinforced by the vision
of the monotheistic higher religions, conflict with reason and
self-interest. Man is divided against himself. And therefore men
become divided against themselves in new cleavages of rich
and poor, in-group and out-group, faithful and infidel, orthodox
and heterodox, my side and your side.
Frederick L. Schuman. International politics: the destiny of the
Western State System. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1948.
According to the preceding text, judge the following item.
