A 2010 survey of 14 industrialized countries found that skepticism about the danger of global warming was highest in Australia, Norway, New Zeeland and the United States, in that order, correlating with high per capita emission of carbon dioxide(Wikipedia). Furthermore there are so many ways society is damaging the ecosystem, some of these issues are brought upon by nature, but the majority of them are caused by man-made pollutants. One issue that is becoming large scale is global warming. Global warming is caused through greenhouse gases and methane release and can have a long lasting effect on the environment, the social system and climate change.

Methane can naturally be found in the soil, the seafloor or the earth surface. Methane is not necessarily a threat to the atmosphere, since it is a natural gas, but if mixed with other chemical components or if burned it can release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, for example landfills and coal mines. Methane can also be produced through an overproduction of livestock, when an animal consumes from the earth they tend to disembogue and can also play a part of global …show more content…
So there is no one definitive solution to stopping global warming, but only practical measures to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide release into the earth. In 1997 the leader of the world community gathered to sign a treaty call the Kyoto Protocol, which would stop the use of greenhouse gases. The treaty took effect on February, 16 2005 and even though most countries have not agreed to sign, the Kyoto is still working to target those countries to come into terms. No one can really state the final outcome of this problem but only give theories, but one fact is for certain that most global warming is caused by
