"The environmental movement lives in a state of denial regarding the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality" # QotD


"The environmental movement lives in a state of denial regarding the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality, e.g. per ,'the OECD's Better Life Index correlates with GDP"

Environmental quality and the thing being plotted on this graph (Better Life Index) aren't exactly the same thing. You can still have a crap natural environment, but other factors that make your life better outweigh them.
