Since 1980s, along with economic development, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent global impact. Not only a regional environmental pollution and massive ecological destruction, but also greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, global climate change, acid rain, species extinction, desertification, forests dropped, transboundary pollution, marine pollution, wildlife species reduction, rainforest reduction, soil erosion and other global environmental crisis, are threatening to the survival and development of
The environment is becoming weak and defecated through a rise in industrialization. Increasing industry has caused many environmental issues and disasters to occur such as earthquakes, air pollution, and further medical issues for people.
The occurrence of globalization, sustainable development, and the ecological footprint are all seemingly connected in today’s environmental capacities. To further understand these environmental processes, one must divulge into these individual environmental concepts to properly understand their facilitations. Furthermore, according to professor Vamvakas “a major theme of Sustainable development is the alternative to the destruction of the world environment by the economic imperative of globalization” (Vamvakas, 2014).
The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 to help provide solutions to the environmental issues and problems that need to be addressed. The name of the agency tells us that they are here to protect the environment and hold those who would harm our earth responsible for their actions. Unfortunately, the very agency that has been tasked with our protection has now become the perpetrator of an environmental disaster in Colorado. Last week, the EPA accidently dumped over three million gallons of toxic waste into Animus River (Kinkaid, 2015). It would appear that the good guys in white hats have turned their hats in for a new color that bad guys are associated with in the movies (black hats). The Fox news article by Kinkaid is an opinion
It is crucial to begin with an analysis of the most current public perspective, using surveys and research done by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and Pew Research Center. This point will be characterized by how environmental issues tie into politics and influence a registered voter’s vote. Will set up the framework for the following point of past trends and laying out why public influence is impacted by events. Prior to the 1960s, environmental issues were not of principal concern or of mass knowledge. (Rome, 2003)
The environment is the home to all living and non-living organisms. It can be compared to a life support system that ensures the well-being of everyone. Recent cases of environmental degradation pose a threat to nature and the entire ecosystem. There has been increased awareness to educate individuals on the need to protect our environment with the aim of protecting the natural beauty and sustaining humanity.
Another very crucial environmental issue, besides global warming, involves the finite nature of natural re, which are being depleted faster than their replenishment rates. The development model of the 20th century, which promoted the continuous consumption of products, has resulted in the reduction of agriculture land, food, water re as also fossil fuels. If humanity continues to consume fossil fuels at the same rate as today, oil re will run out by 2030, gas by 2040 and coal by 2200. By 2025, the number of people suffering due to water stress will rise to approximately 3.5 billion and almost half the world’s population is expected to experience high water stress by
Moreover, in the current economic model, benefit increase is to rely on continuous loans, if economic growth rate stopped, if we moderated too hard in consumption, then the financial system will collapse, triggering an economic crisis. In fact, since ancient times this contradiction always exist, the primitive slash and burns are more brutal than we are. Later, with the increase in population demand, the contradiction began to become sharp. Our concern for the environment is because it has endangered ourselves, not out of humanitarianism to protect nature in order to protect
Nowadays, environmental issues have become the concern of many scholars, both from social and exact sciences. Because the environmental issue itself affect not only the Mother Nature but also human as the social creature that lives within the earth. In the globalization era, there appear many environmental issues, such as the water scarcity, natural disaster, the rising of sea level, and the climate change itself. As we all know that to counter these environmental issues, we can do several actions, such as protecting the
The world economy has improved rapidly as a result of globalization in past decades. However, many environmental problems began to emerge during the economic boom. Especially, in the middle of the 20th century after World War II, many countries restarted economic development and urban construction. At this time, severe air pollution influenced a number of regions. For instance, London was affected by a critical air pollution event, called the Great Smog of London, in December 1952. During a week, 4000 people had died as a direct result of smog and over 100000 were got ill by the human respiratory tract. Subsequently, from 1978 to now, China has seen a great amount of economic increase, with its gross domestic product (GDP) expanding hundreds time since the reform and opening up. Although China has obtained a huge progress with the globalization, it has resulted in a series of environmental problems at the same time. The aim of the essay is to discover how the globalization affected the environment on air pollution, soil pollution and biological invasion in China. And I intend to analyze the instances of the connection between air
People, viewing themselves as a part of nature, can exist as a species only through consumption and destruction of natural resources: even the energy and resources for nature protection people receive by destroying its most important part - the lithosphere. The development of technological progress increased the negative impact on the environment, however, in recent decades there have come certain positive changes in approach toward qualitative improvement in environmental management with successful development of waste-free production, implementation of new technologies to reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, improvement of soil health, enhancement of crop quality parameters, and etc.
With increase of population and pollution on the earth ,there are numbers of challenges increase to increase productivity against race of time. So it started ruining our earths ecology.For the balancing purpose of nature and human it is must to take care of it.
According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an estimated 18 million acres of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year. Undeniably, the deteriorating environmental situation, the increasingly severe pollution of the atmosphere, and water, the severe damage to the living environment of wild animals and plants, the extinction of many species, the deforestation and the transitional mining of mineral resources caused contrary facts. Human existence and development have brought real and more serious potential threats. The scarcity of environmental resources is manifested gradually. As environmental issues are becoming a bottleneck restricting economic growth, it is imperative that lousy effect governed the environment.
China witnesses rapid economic growth after the economic reform in 1978. This economic development brings people great wealth and also a huge cost on the environment. Water and air pollution are among most serious environmental problems, others like soil retrogression and degradation, deforestation, and human health problems coming with these issues are becoming more severe too. In addition, due to China’s biggest population on earth, the impact of these pollutions goes beyond border and becomes a global issue too.
As globalization continues and the earth’s natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems like flooding, global warming, strange death of humans and animals, loss of biodiversity among others. This outcome of the global environmental disasters have produces a bloodstone to the
