Do Humans Contribute To The Global Break Down?

There is not a class offered at most high schools that teaches the younger population what gasoline is doing to the ecosystem. Due to this, many people are seeking to go with the type of cars that are popular at the time. Unfortunately, there's not much society can do about this problem. So, we

Currently the human race is coming to terms with one of the most monumental problems of its own creation : air and water pollution. The poisoning of the very air we breathe and the water that we drink has become too prolific to ignore any longer. One culprit ? Automobiles. The more smoke we expel from the exhaust pipe, the more we exhaust our environment and poison the air and water that allows us to exist. But what can we do to reduce the amount of pollution we produce ? It’s not like we can just stop driving ,right ? Wouldn’t it have an adverse effect on our productivity or make it harder to get to work ? It’s not like it would make a difference anyway, right ? Well not necessarily, currently there are entire countries banning automobiles

Pollution has become a heated issue in recent years. The destruction of the environment along with serious health problems are the eventual effects. The extensive use and availability of automobiles, tremendous amounts of production in the booming economy and the constant increase in demand for energy, can be held responsible.

Automobiles create many problems for the environment and the government. Pollution is created from cars, and people are dying from cancer and heart

According to recent speculation, the end of the world will be coming to an unfortunate end on September 23, 2017. These accusations were made mostly by a man named David Meade. He based this assumption off of his study of biblical numerology. There were two previous theories as to when the world would end, which foreseeably would end up not being the case. Meade said that Planet X or a planet called Nibiru would collide with Earth, however, science says otherwise. Scientists say that if there was a real threat we would have been watching these said planets for at least a decade and the planets would have been visible to the naked eye. Our current alignment doesn’t seem to be too much out of the ordinary either. Professor Anthony Aveni attributes the claims made by Meade and other Christians to be made out of boredom or to have a definitive answer to how the world will proceed. Ultimately there is no Nibiru, therefore the end of the world is most likely not going to occur tomorrow.

Cars, just about every household in America has probably at least two parked in their driveway at any given time. The dependency on the gas powered car has substantially increased since it’s invention and production back in 1908 by the Ford Motor Company. As of 2014, it was estimated that there were over 88 million cars produced world-wide and growing every day. (Fig. 1) Even though a lot of these vehicles might be the new Hybrid edition, the majority of them have a dependency on oil and gasoline products for their survival and existence. Petroleum products, such as oil and gasoline do not come cheap or even free to the consumer, even the

Humans were always interested in creating a dooms day clock, and non-was more popular in year 2012 than a Mayan dooms day clock. As we all remember 2012 marked as many people saw the end of one of the Mayan long count calendar, which many people viewed as a sign for a catastrophic event (National Geographic). But our catastrophe won’t come from pseudoscience, but mostly from climate changes if we don’t do anything about it. We need to learn how to sustainably cultivate and develop our techniques to better used our farming lands, how technology is impacting earth, or we will suffer the same downfall of the Mayan empire. We might not be in a constant warfare as the Mayans, but earth population problem is reaching its limits as Mayans who have

Over time vehicles have become a huge cause of pollution and global warming. As years have passed by vehicles have been designed to be environmentally friendly. This is only happened for the vehicles that are everyday vehicles. Most of those vehicles are still not fully efficient due to the inability of affording a new car. Racing in the biggest thing that is in need of finding a way to limit it to release less pollution.

Our concerns for the environment continue to increase as people disregard the problems that cars cause and do not attempt to make a change, but if things like “Car free day” continue to become more popular we will no longer have to worry about the effect cars have on our environment.

On the news, there are many reports about how the arctic ice is shrinking which then leads to the animals that are living there. Since the ice is melting away, the struggles of staying together and hunting for food are increasing. It kind of hurts to know because the earth didn’t belong to us humans, but belonged to the animals. Since the start of industrialization and urbanization, we have been causing havoc to those animals and they just had to deal with it. Imagine you were living up in the Arctic with your family and living happily, until the ground started melting away and everyone was separated. The chance of survival would be lowered because there is no one around to care and watch over for you. Also, as years go by, I feel that the usage of automobiles have increased by a lot. The exhaust emissions have contributed to the air pollution immensely, so that the air in Vancouver and the air in China are on two different levels. China has more than 114 million cars that are used every day9. Imagine all of the car emissions in china being placed into a building the size of Van Tech. The visibility would be zero and inhaling a tiny bit would lead to very serious sicknesses. People can help lower the pollution by riding bikes and conserve energy at

They do not see the destruction of their world happening. It is a contribution of all humans being neglectful towards the earth. The majority of people do not know what is happening to the world, they do not see the massive smog coming over the lands, the ice melting rising sea levels, or the animals crying from help all over the world. The reason for all the grieving and destruction, is the world full of human neglect. Humans for years have polluted the airs with gas emissions and plagued the ground with trash landfills, leading to more emissions into the air, or the destruction of the water cycle making drought in the world, thus causing massive forest fires. The water pollution caused by trash dumping in the ocean and water ways. The trash in the water is then killing animals and ecosystems in the water disrupting how life is lived by all species. The adding of water to sea is not good for the world as well, the emission in the air are melting the ice caps rising sea level, thus rising world climate. All of these problems contribute to the oncoming disaster. As of not it has been 60 degrees in November. This is not the usual, in November it is usually colder and time for winter jackets, but now people are wearing shorts. These major problems all fall under global warming and it was caused by humans. Humans do this because they do not believe in global warming, are just

Oil fueled cars have caused tremendous pollution all around the world. Not only is it causing air pollution but water as well. “60 percent of water pollution comes from…cars leaking oil…” (Energy). More than half of our water is being polluted due to oil. Air pollution has also been affected, gas coming out the tailpipe can cause cancer and contribute

The case for attributing the recent global warming to human activities rests on the following undisputed scientific facts:

We must not destroy the earth by polluting the environment. The environmental pollution always it comes from people such as smoking, car, rubbish and the cigarettes. Stop smoking or do not throw your butts on the ground. Cigarette butts are not biodegradable and contain extremely toxic soluble chemicals. People should not throw the cigarette on the ground because those chemicals from the cigarette can affect the environment. One bat thrown on the ground can remain for up to 25 years, leaking chemicals like arsenic, ammonia, acetone, benzene, cadmium, formaldehyde, lead, and toluene into the environment. (Rich 2017). We should not open burning. We should stop a person who is doing because that can reduce the smoke from blending into the air and thus getting into our lungs and stomach. The conventional car, which uses an internal engine, is one of the biggest

The fact that so much oil is being taken out of the ground is causing problems because the more that is being taken out the higher the prices will be. According to the Toronto Star “We’re going to have a massive crisis as the cheap petroleum runs out” (Zerbisias3). As the prices increase the more conflicts will arise between countries. All of the oil being exported is majorly used for the transportation and production of energy in other countries. All of hydrocarbon molecules that make up crude oil and petroleum products are highly toxic to many organisms, including humans. The Maclean’s journal states that “ If everyone in North America started driving hybrid cars tomorrow, it would contribute just a fraction of the overall reduction needed to cut global emissions 50 per cent by 2050” (Colin2). If everyone around the world would drive hybrid cars it would make a big difference in the world. All of the toxins being released by the crude oil are of the main reasons why global warming is getting worst and worst as time goes by.
