First of all, the original environment in the earth has been destroyed by human activities. Those activities have been creating much damage to the environment, especially the air which is the most valuable natural-resource for human. Nowadays, we can easily see untreated smoke go directly to the air in many factories around the world. In the past, this action was not considered as a problem, simply, because people thought a little bit of pollution was not enough to affect the whole environment. However, the amount of CO2 in the air, now, has increased 4 times higher than normal condition (Manabe, and Stouffer,1980, p. 5529-5554), which creates holes in ozone, as well as traps more sunlight radiation inside the earth instead of reflecting it.
