The personal opinions and beliefs, and therefore decisions about whether mankind activities are sustainable or non-sustainable depend both on one's knowledge and irrational arguments. In this series, my contributions aimed at offering some rough insights into processes vital to man9s future. Many recent publications deal with sustainability in great detail. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment as well as the book entitled "The Revenge of Gaia" by J. Lovelock are briefly introduced. Contrary to these pessimistic reviews, readers are also directed to the extremely optimistic assessment of the recent development of human societies presented in the book "The Pessimistic Environmentalist" by B. Lomborg.(In Czech, English summary only)
