They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are 1__________ out? the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat? species are becoming 2__________ in vast numbers, and the planets air and water are becoming ever more polluted.
But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more 3__________ not less so, since the book The Limits to Growth was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per 4__________ of the worlds population than at any time in history. Fewer people are 5__________ . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been 6__________ . And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been 7__________ , or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by 8__________ it. One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to 9__________ a devastating problem.

C) accelerating
D) extinct
E) exist
F) perception
G) wealthy
H) magnified
I) starving
J) head
