Global agriculture has been suffering for many years. The problems that are being faced now are not new, nor will they go away in the future, but rather increase. This can be seen though the constant poor use or land and food, the deterioration of farming land, and the always hungry developing count...

The world today is home to over six billion inhabitants. China and India are home to over two billion people and these countries are already experiencing the first signs of over population. If the population continues to grow as it is, the world can expect some serious problems within the next thi...

Have you noticed that the summers have been getting a little warmer? Have you noticed that the winters are not as long as they used to be? Or that the winters are not quite as cold? Have you wondered why? It's due to the greenhouse effect. What's the greenhouse effect? The green hou...

Overpopulation is having disastrous effects on the environment. The forests are being cut down. The atmosphere is becoming contaminated with increasing amounts of carbon dioxide. The oceans and seas are being polluted and over fished. There are simply too many people on earth. The UNFPA (United ...

Global warming is the most urgent environmental problem the world is facing. Few, if any, trends are more important to our future than climate change caused by human activities. This change is not beneficial. This warming trend occurring because of the buildup of greenhouse gases – primarily car...

QUESTION 1: Technology owes Ecology an Apology. Indeed, in my opinion, technology does owe ecology an apology. This is because ecological imbalances were as a result of the Industrial revolution, which could be said to be the beginning of the non-ending technological advancement cycle. D...

Since the beginnings of the Industrial Age in the mid 19th century, the earth has experienced a very rapid increase in the amount of pollutants in the air and the water, due to emissions from automobiles, factories, chemical plants and other manufacturing methods which use fossil fuels, such as coal...

Over Population There are several problems that affect the world today: war, crime, pollution, and several others. Overpopulation is a serious dilemma that is growing every year, every minute, and every second. It is the root of most, if not all, of the world's problems1. It is the greate...

Global warming is an increase in the earth\'s temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth\'s atmosphere and warms it...

The problem is global warming caused by a build-up of CO2 in the earth\'s atmosphere. I read this article on the envirolink website at http://envirolink.netforchange.com/. The author got their information from funding from NASA and the National Science Foundation, NCAR\'s primary sponsor. Also from ...

Global warming is caused primarily by human activity such as burning fossil fuels, chemicals, and other pollutants that are later released into the earth\'s atmosphere. These gases affect the chemical composition of the atmosphere causing increased warming (EPA, 1999). This warming trend disturbs th...

According to Singaporean experts, the island of Mauritius is far from being spared from the effects of climate change. To what extent is the star and key of the Indian Ocean safe from the wrath of nature? For a meteorologist, Prem Goolaup, the impact of climate change and recurrence of extreme weath...

No matter how bright a solution may seem, it may only be drawing near the eye of the storm. A problem cannot be completely resolved without creating more. Such is the effect of the Kyoto accord. At this point in time, the Kyoto treaty should not come to pass because of its overwhelming negative effe...

Global warming, the increase in our earth's surface temperature, is often confused with the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is what makes our planet suitable for life as we know it. It is a natural process that causes gases in the atmosphere to trap energy from the sun. This causes a r...

Environmental Changes Weather changes all the time. The average patter of weather, called climate, usually stays pretty much the same for centuries if it is left to itself. However, the earth is not alone. People are taking actions that can change the earth and its climate in important ways. ...

The Kyoto Protocol: Conflicting Views The Kyoto Protocol was born from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio on environment and sustainable development. Over the years, the Kyoto Protocol has been contentious at the least with the major activists being the European Union and environmental organizations. ...

Global Warming Human kind has entered a brand new relationship with the earth. The constant and increasing pressures we are exerting threaten our planets ability to sustain life itself. Change-in the way we think, and in the way we live-is needed now. Global warming is the most urgent environment...

Did the climate of the earth become appreciably warmer in the 20th century? What evidence suggest that this can be linked to human activity? There is widespread fact that the earths temperature has increased 0.3 – 0.6 C in the past 100 years. Some changes in the physical features of the ear...

Since the beginning of evolution, humans have been creating innovative ways to simplify life. From the discovery of fire to modern advances in technology, the main objective was to simplify adversity in life. Although modern advances in technology have proven advantageous, few people take the time t...

Global WarmingToday's rapid changes have made countries around the world more mutually dependent than ever before. Human kind has entered a brand new relationship with the earth. As the world continues to grow smaller, (shrinking into a global village if you will) events in anyone area will have e...

In the past many assumptions have been made concerning global warming. It is still questionable of whether this a theory or fact. Global warming is an increasing of the average temperature on the Earth. Global warming was first detected in the 1980's. Some scientists believe that the cause is t...

The Kyoto Agreement or Protocol is an agreement produced to lower global warming in a period of years. This agreement was not produced for all countries to sign, only the countries that largely contribute to the problem of global warming. The Kyoto agreement is a small step in what could be a lar...

DEFORESTATION At a deforestation rate of roughly 2% each year [80,000 square miles a year, over an acre per second], the forest cover on Earth will be reduced to 10% its original coverage soon after the turn of the century, to a tiny remnant by 2050. Forests play a pivotal role in the stabili...

Human Impact on the Earth It is a well-known fact that humans have been living and modifying the earth since the beginning of time. However, as we continue to inhabit this planet, we consciously and subconsciously destroy our precious environment with the intent of making life easier and also ...
