Summarize Argument
The columnist thinks that people are reasonable to claim that excessively restrictive policies on natural resources make it financially difficult to adopt and sustain environmental policies. What's the evidence? That North American and western Europe are more heavily forested and have better air quality than 50 years ago, contrary to predictions of environmental doom.
Notable Assumptions
The columnist assumes that greater restrictions on natural resource use would meaningfully diminish the wealth of North American and western European countries. The columnist also assumes that the improvements over the last 50 years are attributable to effective environmental policies that relied on wealth and didn't overly restrict natural resource use.
