ESSAY (Question n°4) For decades‚ humans use natural resources for their development. Today‚ we pay for this exploitation. Human lifestyle are responsible of many effects on environment: global warming‚ climate change‚ depletion of Ozone layer‚ deforestation‚ pollution‚ extinction of species… With depleting resources of nature‚ certain ways to save the environment have to be formulated. But who can do something to save the planet: people or governments? This essay will

smothers the animal and eventually kills it. Climatic change: Coral can loose its colour or even die from a change in its climate such as a cyclone or global warming. All the pollution that humans send up into the atmosphere thins the Ozone Layer. The Ozone Layer is meant to filter out the harmful UV rays‚ but because there is now a hole in it‚ some rays get through and heat the water temperature (Global Warming). The coral cannot survive the warmer sea temperatures. Other threats: -Crown of thorns

the Earth’s surface). The lower stratosphere of the Earth contains oxygen that absorbs the majority of the harmful UVB radiation. The overwhelming majority‚ 99 percent of the ultraviolet rays that reach the Earth’s surface‚ are UVA. “When the ozone layer becomes thin‚ however‚ more UVB radiation reaches Earth’s surface and may have hazardous effects on organisms. For example‚ studies have shown that UVB radiation penetrates the ocean’s surface and may be lethal to marine plankton to a depth of 30

Environment - how can you help protect it? Our planet is in trouble! Almost every day we seem to hear of yet another problem affecting the environment - and what a list of problems! - pollution‚ acid rain‚ climate change‚ the destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats‚ the decline and extinction of thousands of species of animals and plants....and so on. Nowadays‚ most of us know that these threats exist and that humans have caused them. Many of us are very worried about the future of our

Third are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and similar chemicals‚ which are also implicated in the separate problem of ozone depletion (see #5 below). Nitrous oxide (from fertilizers and other chemicals) is fourth. #2 Earth’s average temperature has risen about 1 degree F in the past 100 years and is projected to rise another 3 to 10 degrees F in the next 100 years.

CONTRIBUTION OF INTERNATIONAL TOURISM TO CLIMATE CHANGE Name Course Tutor Date Executive Summary This report is aimed at looking into the impacts of international tourism on climate change. The first section gives an overview of the report. The second section then looks at the contribution of international tourism on climate. The next section of the report addresses the impacts of the issues discussed in the previous section in the next decade on international tourism as well as addresses the environmental

problem today because of the depletion of water resources and the disruption of water cycle. Speaking about atmosphere we should mention ozone holes which are result of air pollution and their increase can lead to the destruction of the whole great chain of life of our planet. The pollution of the air‚ oceans‚ seas‚ rivers and lakes and the destruction of the ozone layer could lead our planet to a global catastrophe. But the most terrible catastrophe of our age is the Chernobyl disaster which has resulted

The planet has no Plan-B for climate change Introduction Climate change is arguably the most discussed and talked about term from the fag-end of the 20th century till today. Since the initial knowledge on climate change was acquired in 1950s and since the first conference on climate change was held in 1979‚ numerous treaties and frameworks have been devised to curb and bring down emissions that cause the climate change. After several decades‚ in 2011‚ we have realised the bitter truth

issue of climate change in current situation is major. With climate change over time adverse effects have been occurred like increasing melting rate of ice‚ glacier movements‚ sea level rising‚ shifting of vegetation‚ affection on coastal area‚ ozone layer depletion and decreasing rate of crop productivity etc. Since the issue of the climate change has no boundary it is global issue and is concerned with all over the world and so needs data from all over the world. So we have seen that some mechanism
