The extreme amount of carbon dioxide was slowly corroding the ozone layer. It is stated in the environmental science reference…

The reviewed literature points to some degree of a relationship between climate change and violent conflict in Africa. However, the majorities of studies, especially those in West Africa employed descriptive research methods. This type of the investigation method, as we know it, do not make accurate predictions and do not determine cause and effect. Additionally, the vast majority of the literature heavily uses civil war and political violence datasets, as the dependent variables, which may be…

vehicles a chance; who knows how long it will take for the pollution from the gasoline powered vehicles to destroy our environment. The problem with gasoline powered vehicles is that high amounts of CO2 are released into the atmosphere, causing “Desertification, Increased melting of snow and ice, Sea level rise, Stronger storms and extreme events”(whatsyourimpact.org) But with electric powered vehicles we can reduce the levels of CO2 in the air if we look at “The report, “Driving Cleaner: More…

I could picture the Earth in my head. The blues of water, greens of vegetation, and whites of clouds, all the essentials of life swirling together as if left by brush strokes. I had been seeing it since my first earth science class in elementary school, glaring out at me from textbooks as if demanding an answer. How could you do this? The question reverberated in my head, the dull ache of cognitive dissonance setting in as I peered out the window. I didn’t have an answer. None of us did. That’s…

deforestation by strengthening forest related national entities, establishing capacities for planning and assessment of observations related to forest related programs. c) Managing fragile ecosystems by better monitoring of regions prone to desertification and drought, combating land degradation and focusing on development of mountain ecologies. d) Conservation of Biodiversity by e) Protection of water bodies by developing small islands, coastal areas for sustainable development,…

animals. • Deforestation – Humans depend on trees for many things. Unfortunately, we cut millions of acres down to use them. This process takes away animal’s homes, and the tree can no longer replenish the soils. Which results in soil erosions, desertification and land degradation. (“What is Land Pollution?” CONCLUSION The United States produces a large amount of pollution with the combination of air, land, and water contamination. This is a major concern because it is harming the earth, our…
