MOTHER: Do you believe that the global environment is in jeopardy?
PH: I think the answer to that has got to divide between different countries, and different aspects of the environment. I think the global fishing problem is very serious. I'm a lot less certain about the global climate issues, but tune will tell on those. I do know that the policies of the industrialized nations are having a very different impact on the atmosphere than the policies of the Third World. To give a single half-sentence answer, or sentence answer to, "Is the planet in trouble?" I think misleads more than it informs. Some aspects of it clearly are, some clearly are not. Some probably less so than the alarmists say.
