Common sense says you shouldn’t discover where the edge is by passing over it, but that’s what we’re doing with deforestation and climate change” (553). Desert is considered hot, and now it’s hotter; it also affects the quality of agricultural land. Nature will be destroyed, and the world economy will be going down. Global warming is one of the most challenging environmental problems in existence today. Our life, animals’ life, and plants’ life are becoming worse because we are destroying the environment.
Environmental Issues surrounding the Canadian Oils sands and the Social Impact on Canadian Citizens Joe McNamara 4540639 GEOG 2P50 There is dirty business going on in Western Canada. An enterprise with severe ecological and social impacts has become a staple in the Canadian economy at the price of our lush prairie environment. We are susceptible to influences based on our physical environment and a landscape devastated by industry cries out for retribution and redemption. Canadian oil sands span across “715 km2 of boreal landscape”; this entire area has been destroyed for the ability to retrieve this precious resource (Raab & Bayley, 2013, p. 97). Oil sands are “a mix of sand, water,
Modernity may cease with global warming as half the biggest companies are oil companies, and oil is the essence of life. Deforestation and the effects of global warming on our forests and trees are far-reaching and quite evident. All our planets physical features are changing rapidly. And McKibben repeats himself on purpose to get his point across: the planet we knew is no more, we live on a new, more complex and harsher
Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
1b)Coal is a fossil fuel, which means when it is burnt it releases unwanted pollutants which have a negative and harmful impact on our environment. These pollutants are: Carbon Dioxide- This gas is considered to be the most harmful pollutant as it contributes to global warming. Coal is attributed to approximately 20% of the total pollution globally per year of all the fossil fuels. Sulfur emissions- when sulfur mixes with oxygen a harmful substance is formed. SO2, sulfur dioxide effects our trees and water systems and is the prominent cause of acid rain.
Big businesses are releasing harmful chemicals into the atmosphere and oceans. As a result the ozone layers are thinning and creating unprecedented hotter climates in many regions that negatively affect the ecosystems that are not used to the increase in heat. So in Conclusion, David Suzuki’s theory that human civilization is in a war to save this planet is very justified and necessary especially at his day and age where the destruction of earth has become an all to real reality. If human beings have any chance of saving this world they must first work together not as people of different nations but as a world community in finding alternative environmentally safe energy sources to ensure the survival of the human race and wildlife for many more future
It also have some very harmful effects on humans and nature. It creates large amount of pollution, destroys the nature and also increases the diseases in human societies. As in documentary about “The Ethics of Fracking” by Marleen troy PhD (Environmental Engineer), Bernard Prausak and Rabbi Mordechai Liebling.
Aquatic Invertebrates: Adaptations and Feeding Guilds INTRODUCTION Global warming and human's authoritative influence on the environment such as deforestation, pollution etc. are taking a bad toll on the diversity of the ecosystem. Global warming which has brought about increase in the temperatures is disturbing the natural cycle of the ecosystem. This has brought upon an increased droughts throughout the world. The droughts and increased heat has had negative impacts on local aquatic invertebrates.
West Virginia Chemical Spill Effecting Our Environment Industrialization has greatly impacted our Earth. In the article Federal Grand Jury Investigates West Virginia Chemical Spill, the authors, Drew Griffin and David Fitzpatrick, emphasize the damage the chemical spill did to our planet. Many people were left with no water to use and the environment was greatly damaged by the spill. Chemical plants allow our society to develop some service such as water, electricity or disposal services. Conversely, Chemical plants can contaminate the pure water or create harmful diseases to humans and the Earth.
These are some of the reasons why Jacoby thinks that global warming is all just an exaggeration. Jacoby believes that some people like him don’t take global warming as serious because of all the predictions made about “the end of the world” came out to be false. He thinks that global warming is just another exaggerated prediction that isn’t going to be as bad as people are making it seem. Altogether, Jeff Jacoby believes that global warming is just an exaggeration. Both Sharon Begley and Jeff Jacoby contradict one another in their text.
