Natural Disasters : A Natural Disaster It 's A Major Concern For Every Human Earth

Diseases, war, etc... Those are major concerns of this world, and climate change is always a hot issue given to debate. It 's not just a matter of a single country, but it’s a problem of the whole human race. Humanity is facing the risk of extinction. The impact of environmental pollution leads to climate change and natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Those disasters are caused by the impact of humans to nature, such as deforestation, ecological imbalance, and use of chemicals

Even though some people believe air pollution does not affect humans, the government should have stricter pollution laws because air pollution is a huge influence to human health, results from the burning of fossil fuels, and it affects people who are already sick. The government should have stricter pollution laws because air pollution is a huge influence to human health. Air pollution negatively affects all humans. One main concern that should be had should be that it causes lung damage in children

average global temperature. Natural events and human activities like driving cars, farming, burning coal and cutting down forests are contributing to the increase of the worlds temperature, primarily caused by increases in greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide. The more greenhouse gases we release, the faster the world 's climate heats up. The greenhouse effect is when energy from the sun drives the Earth 's weather and climate, heats the worlds surface up and in return the earth radiates energy back into

Renewable Energy In the 1960’s and 1970’s a movement regarding the physical environment began, this movement focused on a few environmental issues and disasters caused directly or indirectly by pollution. As the years progressed, this movement grew into a multifaceted activist movement gaining more attention in the US, more often referred as “Environmentalism” or “Environmental Activism”. As the human race realized the physical environment is fragile and thus must be protected, scientists started

Recycling can also reduce water pollution. When substances such as plastics are improperly disposed into rivers and beaches, it could be very destructive to the environment. Not only do waste mostly plastic waste, contaminate these water bodies, but they also harm marine life. One of the biggest problems that have resulted due to the improper disposition of plastic and other waste is The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. “About 80 percent of the debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from land

Environmental conservation has made major advancements throughout history. While its focus during the 1940s was very limited due to World War II, the effects of the war and industrialization led to the environmental deterioration and many significant events that increased the public’s attention on pollution. While many minor policies were passed as a way to appease the people, the major shift for environmentalism was during the 1960s after many pieces of writing were published that exposed the harmful

plant and animal diversity. In the 1960’s until the present, there has been a lot of controversy. Fallout from testing air pollution from millions of factories, cars belching chemicals into the atmosphere, and deliberate destruction of pristine rivers and lakes (such as Ohio’s Cuyahoga River, that famously caught fire). These disasters, including the disappearance of farmland and forests under suburban development, were a concern to many citizens. These concerns are still

earthquake hit Nepal, affecting 8 million people across the country. Another 7.3 earthquake struck on May 12. "It was the worst earthquake I have ever experienced in my life.
