(a)
To determine: The problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.
(b)
To determine: The problems that arise from population growth in industrialized nations.
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.
To determine: The greater threat of the problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries and industrialized nations.
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.

- Explain why you agree or disagree with at least 90% the world's climate scientists that (a) climate change is happening now, (b) human activities play an important role in this climate change, and (c) human actions can slow down the rate of climate change and avert or delay its projected harmful environmental, health, and economic effects.arrow_forwardQuestion 1: What role does the environment play in addressing the needs of society? Question 2: Do you think that earth can exist without human being taking care of it? Or biodiversity also needs human being for it to be in a continuous growing process?arrow_forward(A) The above figure indicates how much biologically productive land is needed to support different activities (e.g. 'carbon' is land needed to offset carbon emissions from energy production; 'cropland' is land needed to grow crops for food). What Goes it say about the sustainability of our lifestyle? Explain. (B) The world's ecosystems provide many valuable services, that we all benefit from. Yet, these services are often undervalued and taken for granted. Why? For full credit, provide an example with at least one specific ecosystem service. (C) Humans are impacting ecosystems (and their services) in many ways, often negatively. Throughout this course we've discussed some simple actions that can be taken by individuals to help mitigate our impact on the environment. List one action and specify how it can help.arrow_forward
- Some people believe our most important goal should be to sharply reduce the rate of population growth in developing countries where 97% of the world’s population growth is expected to take place. Others argue that the most serious environmental problems stem from high levels of resource consumption per person in developed countries, which use 88% of the world’s resources and have much larger ecological footprints per person than do developing countries. What is your view on this issue? Explainarrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Which of the following hypotheses is both acceptable and properly stated with regard to the question, "why do turtles gather near the bridges on Richland Campus?". Choose the best hypothesis. Are the turtles being fed by students on the bridge? O The turtles enjoy spending time near the bridge. O The turtles idolize the bridge. The turtles come to the bridge due to shade provided. QUESTION 28 A scientific theory is an idea that hasn't been supported by much evidence. O True O Falsearrow_forwardPopulation growth causes many environmental problems Indicate some of these problems (2) What role do you think technology will play in solving these problems? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about these problems being solved through technology? Why?arrow_forward
- Climate change has been called the major environmental health challenge of the twenty-first century. Do you agree or disagree? Explain (in detail) your reasoning.arrow_forwardExplain why you agree or disagree with most of the world’s climate scientists that (a) atmospheric warming and climate change are happening now, (b) human activities are the dominant cause of current atmospheric warming and climate change, (c) only action by humans can slow the rate of atmospheric warming and climate change and avert or delay their projected harmful environmental, health, and economic effects.arrow_forwardLastly, notice the yellow graph for "Net Exports": in 2008 it was about +400, meaning the US exported 400 million gallons of biodiesel. But for the past several years "Net Exports" has been in negative territory, meaning that we IMPORT biodiesel from other countries! (this isn't surprising, notice that green consumption is consistently larger than blue production). The US first started importing biodiesel in the year U.S. Biodiesel Production, Exports, and Consumption Print Dow 2,500 • Production + Net Exports + Consumption 2,000 1,500 1,000 -500 -1,000 2001 Last updated October 2018 2004 2007 2010 2013 2016 Printed on: Aay 10 Millions gallonsarrow_forward
- In terms of the human population of the Earth, what factors might impact human population growth over the next century? Our current system of agriculture depends extensively on inexpensive fossil fuels and is likely to be impacted by climate change by the late 21st century. Declining birthrates, especially in the developing world, are likely to bring the human race to the brink of extinction. Soon, there will not be enough room for humans to live. The human population will likely continue to increase exponentially for centuries.arrow_forwardChoose the statement that is most likely made by an environmentalist rather than by an environmental scientist. "On average, 52 animal species move one step closer to extinction each year because of overpopulation and habitat destruction.” “Human population growth is a current environmental issue, as is climate change.” “When the number of existing humans exceeds the carrying capacity of the planet, we have reached the state of overpopulation.” “Citizens must take matters into their own hands and start having fewer children to reduce the world’s population, starting now.”arrow_forwardConsider yourself as an owner of a factory using fossil fuel as energy source. Now as an environmental expert, you want to make some decisions or rules in your company to reduce the pollution and also to reduce the global warming. What are the steps that you will take? Explain it in detail.arrow_forward
