TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined four possible explanations for the situation in which more is lost while more is known: (1) knowledge continues to be flawed by areas of ignorance; (2) knowledge is available but not used effectively; (3) knowledge was used effectively but takes a long time to have effect; and (4) knowledge used effectively in some respects but is overwhelmed by increases in vulnerability and in population, wealth, and poverty.
