People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale.

environment is the main issue. Today‚ increasing population growth causes the natural environment to change greatly. This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution is an important pollution problem. Increasing population growth creates more of this pollutant whose major source is burning of fossil fuel‚ larger number of vehicles and industrial production. As a result

What are some of the measures we can take to reduce global warming? Since there is already a great number of green house gases already trapped in the earth’s atmosphere the major effect of global warming can never really be completely eliminated. CFC’s stay in the atmosphere for literally hundreds of years‚ and therefore even if we were to stop all activities releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere there would still be a major heat load trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. Since we cannot

Introduction Nowadays‚ Global warming is an incontrovertible fact‚ which proves that our planet and its climate are in trouble. Well global warming is a term that denotes a slow warming of the earth’s regular temperature. It was also named exclusively man-made effects‚ in particular carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has largely increased during the past forty years‚ and scientists concluded that the average earth temperature has increased solely based on man-made activities such
