Environmental Issues by Dylan Yoann Medina Flores https://padlet.com/medinady2007/dzsu9jojlb9qi80f en-us 2024-09-05 17:22:27 UTC 2024-09-05 18:05:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Description medinady2007 https://padlet.com/medinady2007/dzsu9jojlb9qi80f/wish/3104725006 Climate change is the long term alteration of temperature, precipitation, and other climate system components. It's primarily caused by human actions that increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

• Deforestation: Trees facilitate the absorption of CO2, while cutting them down will increase the atmospheric concentration of CO2.


• Industrial Activities: Emission of greenhouse gases from manufacturing and chemical compounds.

• Political: Climate change can cause disputes over resources, causes of migration, and economic instability, all of which have an effect on national and international politics.


• Environmental: Melting glaciers, increasing sea levels, and altering ecosystems have the effect of destroying wildlife and habitat.

Plastics are common due to their long durability and frequent use.

•  Incorrectly Managed Waste: Ineffective recycling systems and littering.

•   Industrial Flux: Plastic waste entering water bodies from manufacturing facilities and waste disposal facilities.

• Political: The increasing popularity of governments to enforce rules and improve waste disposal.

• Environmental: Harm to marine organisms, damage to ecosystems, and pollution to water sources.

It leads to a significant loss of forested space and negatively affects various ecosystems.

•Logging: The harvesting of trees for both timber and paper products.

• Urbanization: Increasing cities and other infrastructure in proximity to forests.

•Political: Disputes over land usage, regulatory issues, and international pressure to halt deforestation.

•Environmental: biodiversity loss, disrupted carbon and water cycles, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
