Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Without context of the authors' work, we assume a general - positive approach of letting go of old and embracing new.
  2. Believing we don't have enough can lead to a scarcity - mindset which is not conducive to making a better world.
  3. For example, if we assume current environmental trends continue, extreme weather events could increase. If a person is 20 years old in 2024, they will be 46 in 2050. They could face issues like property damage or food shortages.
  4. For example, if renewable energy technologies improve significantly, we could have a clean - energy future. If a person is 20 in 2024, they will be 46 in 2050 and could enjoy a healthier environment.
