The fundamental flaw of the Environmental Kuznets Curve Theory (EKCT) lies in its compartmentalization of environmental impacts, which serves as the basis for establishing a direct relationship with per capita income, l indicator considered for economic development. While it is true that environmental impacts can be merged and analyzed empirically, actual ecological processes belong to a network of interrelationships that current science is still trying to fully understand. It is dangerous and irresponsible to assume or suggest that a piecemeal set of positive trends can lead to the conclusion that environmental quality improves with economic growth. Adhering to the EKCT is equivalent to accepting that ecological models follow the same trajectory. This means that the same type of pollution occurring in two separate countries will have more or less the same effect. The theory does not show much sensitivity to changing ecosystem and species values. The reality is that some ecosystems are more valuable, more fragile, and more species-rich than others. A study by York and Rosa (2003) points out that EMT has not sufficiently addressed four fundamental questions: (1) that institutional modification made by societies in reaction to environmental problems actually leads to ecological improvements; (2) that the latter stages of modernization processes lead to the ecological transformation of production and consumption with a relatively high frequency; (3) that industries and businesses that reduce their direct impact on the environment do not contribute to the expansion of the negative impacts of other industries or businesses, and; (4) that as economies become more resource efficient, the rate of increase in their… middle of paper… stabilization, sea level rise, and species extinction. It is imperative to look at both, not all, sides of the story and its real effects on an individual level if you want to develop a real understanding of the issues. Humans belong to a class of species that can develop the technology to support the expanded pyramid of needs of its population. He can grow his own food, devise mechanisms to generate drinking water, and even prolong life with the help of machines and chemicals. Such intelligence and talent can also be used to understand that, like all other species, we are constrained by the finiteness of the earth's resources and that our lives and decisions can never be extricated from the basic ecological web of life. Economic globalization and accompanying consumerism the mantra that paves the way for excessive consumption is more central to the issue at hand.
