Global Environment Issues For Health

Abstract

Global warming has the effect of melting polar ice caps, displacing people form tropical and coastal islands and can ultimately threaten the survival of human race. This has resulted in over consumption, leading to poverty and other environmental problems. Deforestation also leads to the burning of cut down trees which further increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This will harm the workers that are exposed to the dangerous materials. Some people are even denying its existence. To do this we must become fully aware of how we got to this point and what we ought to do to remedy the situation. Let us begin with how we got to this point.

Another leading cause of global warming is deforestation. Deforestation reduces the number of trees that are capable of converting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen and thereby reducing the volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Deforestation also leads to the burning of cut down trees which further increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The consequences of global warming may be dire but we can stop it. All we need to do is to conserve and properly utilize the energy we have so that we do not have to burn fossil fuels to create more energy.
