Is it ironic that cars and buildings are getting more beautiful while health is deteriorating?

I'd rather be driving a 1960s chevy than my 92 Sentra. You're comparing 2 different things...cars/buildings and health. It's like asking, Isn't it weird that computers are soooo fast nowadays...but tortoises are so slow? Would going back to Black screened, green lettered computers make tortoises faster?

There is definately a correlation between the increase in the population of the world and the destruction of the environment.  But remember that correlation is not causation.  Just because two things increase at a similiar rate, does not mean that one causes the other.  The causes of the destruction of the environment, stems from our inability to responsibly advance our society.  It comes from our poor practices as a global society and as local communities.  It comes from our inability to think about how to do things efficiently and effectively while taking into account the environment and our long term comfort and survival.  It also comes from our rapidly increasing technology, combined with our not so rapidly ability to deal with the waste and biproducts that come along with technology.  Simple example: car and smog.  I hope this can start your thought process in the right direction.

Life is near to death in every nation, not just underdeveloped countries.  Have you ever had to commute on the freeway?  Definitely a life and death struggle!

Seems like you have sussed this out correctly - What this Government is really good at is creating new taxes. And with regard to the air that we breath, yes we can expect higher Council Tax charges in areas with better air quality.

Society is evolving, some generations are getting better, some worse.\n\nOver time natural selection will take over, the people who do "better"  will continue, those who do not will fade away.

It is happening... look at all the data. However, I think that "greenhouse gases" are a little overplayed as the scape goat... we ARE coming out of an ice age, after all.

Yes, yes. It is improving similarly in our areas also.

Yes it is. Interestingly enough, it is ALSO an effect of progress. technological progress.

From personal viewings, I would say it is very polluted especially in the United States (too many cars!) and other major countries.\n\nIn other countries where automobiles are not as plentiful, it is not as much a problem, but it continues to be on the rise.

I direct your attention to the movie Bladrunner sans the flying cars. Dark, dingy, overcrowded, polluted, dangerous, with no effort to develop aesthetics outside. Large self contained environmental buildings that are able to lock out poor elements of society and provide living/working and social/entertainment facilities in one space. Travel will be nearly non-existent and most contact will be thru networks.\n\nI am glad I will be gone by then...

people are fatter and living longer which means more heart problems, so probably a pretty good outlook
