In recent years the controversy surrounding environmental issues has decreased

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Environmental issues are defined as problems with the planet's systems (air, water, soil, etc.) that have developed as a result of human interference or mistreatment of the planet.

Human activities in the past decades have raised serious issues related to the environment and its conservation. Air pollution, poor management of waste, growing water scarcity, falling groundwater tables, water pollution, preservation and quality of forests, biodiversity loss, and land/soil degradation, global climate change, pollution, environmental degradation, resource depletion, and genetically modified foods are the current environmental problems that make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future.

In recent years, the controversy surrounding environmental issues has decreased comparatively. But considerably, it doesn’t mean that the environmental issues themselves have decreased.

In the last few decades, when there was a rapid growth in fields like industrialization, etc., there was indeed a rapid degradation in the environmental standards. The environmental issues were soon turning out to get worse and insane. There was any need for immediate counter actions and the world rose up and stood up together discussing the environmental issues and the implementation of necessary algorithms to save the environment like never before. But it was not to have a break on the constant growth of industrialization and other man-made activities that cause a continuous degradation of the environment.

Today, many countries are on a constant mode of protecting the environment with all the possible measures they can implement. There is continuous stress and effort on the enrichment and to sustain the quality of the environment. Though the controversies surrounding the issues have decreased over time, the measures to protect the same have been and are being constantly applied. Nevertheless, lesser or worse, the environment is on a constant state of degradation.
