If anything the economy is ruining the environment. And war with technology saves more lives. Less pillage that way too.
Its resource needs and over population that are ruining the environment, really the economy is just secondary to that.
Lets just hope technology saves us in the end, we have no choice but to move from current energy sources into much more sustainable methods; the current road we are heading down leads to nowhere pretty, especially when large countries are desperate for basic resources. It all depends on whether the power players want to provide us all with cheap energy or not from new sources (probably fusion/cheap solar), which will lift everyone up, or continue to monopolise it.
