Since its' Earth Day, what do you think are some of the biggest contributors to the environmental problem?

I get the feeling that most people don't really know or refuse to accept the degrading condition of our earth. It's not that it's going to just implode any minute, but how are we going to continue in our present lifestyle? We simply can't. Our luxurious way of life can't be sustained over a long period of time unless we make it our business to learn how. I challenge anyone to just go to your internet serch engine and type in the word, sustainability. read some of the resulting information and see if you don't come away with a better understanding of what "Earth Day" is really about.Since its' Earth Day, what do you think are some of the biggest contributors to the environmental problem?environmentalist
Personally, I think human beings are primarily responsible for many of the environmental problems facing the world today. Not always the same human beings for every problem, but it always seems to human beings causing the most trouble.
internal combustion engines
I think the biggest contributors of the environmental problem begins with mankind. We all are responsible in some shape or form. However, the biggest offenders in my opinion are the industrial giants- chemical manufacturers, automotive makers, fossil fuel burning plants and companies that dump industrial waste into waterways from manufacturing processes. Pools (chlorine evaporation) add to the problem too. Refrigerant losses from the air conditioning field. On a smaller scale, those who toss liter instead of placing trash in appropriate containers. Fertilizer runoff and erosion from farms that do not use organic methods are deadly. Deforestation is also a major problem.
the #1 pollutant on earth is the gasoline-fueled engine
here is some stuff that high lights the problems and include some of the solutions.



AND I AGREE WITH YOUR SENTIMENTS the best thing we can do is to educate all those who are unaware of the facts of Environmental conditions and by spreading the truth we can help more than any thing else .and to motivate others about behaving in a benificial way as far as the Earth is concerned,



these are some Mega threats that endanger the planet and some solutions



over population,erosian,over pumping of carbon aquifiers(deep wells)

desertification,rising seas,land loss,deforrestation.excess carbon emissions,mass extinction of species and global warming.



DEFORRESTATION if it continues ,is that we could end up looking like Mars.Without an atmosphere ,without water,without air,with out life



the forrests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth(sweet water)

some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastel aereas .

the bulk ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,

and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.



If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. we kill us.

the trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature confertable to live in.



in the dessert the nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up



CARBON MONOXIDE

the trees absorb carbon emisions ,which is poison to us and they produce oxygen which we need to breathe.



so in short the trees produce the air that we need to breathe.

they also produce wood which is usefull and a wide range of food such as fruits



deforestation must be stopped before desertification goes out of control and consumes the planet.



DESERTIFICATION

the sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.

two major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese



the trees evaporate a mist which ,which protects us from the strong rays of the sun .



the planet is drying out at an alarming rate.



in the days of the dinasaurs this planet was under an aquiferus manta ,a mist that covered the entire earth ,and there were no desserts .

Count how many there are today,and all of them are as a result of mans actions.

the sahara used to be forrests

arabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times

Ghengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.



Bad agricultural practises is turning vast teritories into desserts ,because of over grazing and the exessive pumping of carbon aquifiers ,the surface aquifiers already having been depleted.

And the use of fertilisers and heavy machinery that compacts the ground which raises the salt in the soil.

Modern agriculture today is doing the same as ghengas kahn but in much bigger territories.



And because agricultural lands are lost, farmers are forced to cultivate highly erodable lands, to keep up with the growing demand for food.an extra 70 million people each year and this is increasing

the world population has doubled in the last 50 years the fasted increase ever since the first homo sapian.



EROSION

soil erosion is almost always as a result of human intervention.

the trees are cut down and these trees existed to provide a cover against the rays of the sun which now dries out the soil ,and the wind can than easily blow away the dust that is formed ,------this is wind erosian



because the trees are no longer there, whose roots bound the soil together ,and because their canapies of foilidge no longer exist the rain now has easy acces to the unprotected ,now dry surface and the rain waters wash away the top soils ,------this is water erosian



farmers plow large plots of land to plant maize or wheat or what ever and as happened in the 20s in the USA,they plowed in straight lines.when the winds came they blew alonfg the straight lines and picking up speed removed millions of tons of top soil(wind erosian) turning vast teritories into dessert deprived of arable soil



today the farmers plow in circles and curves to prevent this building up of speed by the wind,



but still vast sections of land are exposed to the sun which kills the micro biotic life ,that builds the black and rich top soil and tons of water is evaporated by the sun.,



A far better way is a very old concept now newly applied called --no till farming.



after the inicial shaping of the land the tractor is no longer used .or another type of plow head is used which does not break and turn the soil over,but merely makes a deep cut in to which the new plants are planted or sown.

or the seeds are just stuck in an unbroken surface ,which is covered------- by mulch



mulch is a layer of organic material which prevents the soil from drying out by blocking the sun and maintaining its moisture



because the soil is now soft and moist the earthworms devellop and there is no better manure on this earth than that from earth worms,who also airate the soil with their bodely movements sucking in the air .



the mulch also is a cover which protect the soil from the impact of heavy rains which brings the salt to the surface which makes the soil poorer.



the mulch also is the food and conditions for a vast variety of micro biotic life that produces top soil



MUD SLIDES

in Mexico in the mountains the increasing

populations of indigenous peoples are cutting down trees to plant corn ,this land is productive for a few years before it becomes poor and useless for farming.

the roots of the trees that have been cut down rot and tunnels are created with their diaaperance ,with heavy rains these tunnels fill up with water and the soil lifts and moves down wards .



mudslides are caused and large parts of the mountains are exposed to the rock.



the mud destroys the lands beneath and the exposed areas NEVER recover leaving the area with out vegetation forever



to recover eroded soil is a lenthy process ,which involves planting, bushes ,grasses and trees under difficult conditions to hold the soil and to create bariers to stop further movements on the surface and trap any organic matter that ends up there.we can help by adding mulch(chopped organic matter and plant leafy plants to be chopped down for this purpose,.



there are various plants that are exelent for this pupose,like a bean called nescafee which is a monster in normal circumstanses ,it covers an enormous aera ,grows very fast creates tons of leaves ,when fully grown it dies leaving a thick cover of rotting organic material behind.



WATERSHORTAGE,OVERPOPULATION

each year 70 million more people are consuming water but this is ,but a small part of what agriculture uses.



so our consumption of water is ever increasing and our drinkable water supply is shrinking because of polution ,and the production of potable water is less all the time because of deforestation.



in Tasmania one can already exchange one litre of water for 2 litres of petrol.

it is predicted that the wars of the future will be for water.

the water we got in most populated places must be treated or purified before it is acceptable for human consumption.



in Portugal and soutern Spain ,as in many places, wine is cheaper than water.Which would explain the many drunk people there



we are living in a bubble economy and when the bubble bursts

food prices will sky rocket,and so will the price of water.



the wars of the future will be for water



GLOBAL WARMING



because of the green house effect and the desertification this planet is heating up

Each degree rise in temperature signifies 10% crop loss



RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.



Green land and the south pole ,which apperantly has a hole in the ozone the size of the usa,are another matter.

this is ice above the sea ,on the land, and melted water will return to the sea .and so duely affect sea levels.the sea has been rising for a long time.

in portugal remains of Roman villas have been discovered 3/4 of a mile in the sea,and in one town the locals say that the sea is eating their town ,in recent years the Dona Philipa golf cours has lost the 16th and 17th hole which have fallen of the cliffs unto the beach.



in California and Florida rising seas have flooded arable land that has been lost

so far only a few millions acres in total globaly ,but this will speed up with the increasing global warming.

And in Antartica arms of ice that even had names because the were so permanent have broken of into the sea.



and we are witness to the first mass extinction of animals since the days of the dinosaurs species being lost by the hour ,to put it conservatively



SOLUTIONS

Global efforts to cut down on carbon emisions,reforestation to capture carbon,sustainable farming practises and ecomomic systems of irrigation,education on family planning to counter overpopulation,water harvesting to fill up subteranian water supplies,environmentally friendly energy systems,efficient public trans port to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine,global distribution of food supplies.encouraging people(to return to the land) to be autosufficient (with the internet business is not any more confined to the cities),urban planning to include vegetation,stop building more high ways,



agricultural devellopment programs for 3rd world countries.



if every one in the world, who could,would plant a garden ,this would take the stress of the farmers,add to the bio-mass and so the humidity and put a lot more food into circulation.



so what you can do is plant a tree,clean up rubbish,leave bins for people to put their rubbish in,leave notice boards explaining that you cleaned and ask people to co-operate,



and dont put your own organic rubbish together with the rest,seperate and classify your rubbish,70 %of contamination is because of organic material and this is the easiest to take care of ,you make a small compost heap in a shady place in the garden and all the organic waste of the house can go here ,at times cover it with leaves or sand.

the rich compost which results you put back on your plants.

this does not smell or create bugs,the decomposition kill about every thing.



if you can have a couple of bantum chickens which eat 70%of garden pests and they do not rake the ground and kill the plants as ordinairy chickens do. Source(s) my humble confused beginning of a space

Chief scientist warns bigger rise in world's temperature will put 400 million at risk.



By Andrew Grice, Political Editor

Published: 15 April 2006



The world's temperature is on course to rise by more than three degrees Centigrade despite efforts to combat global warming, Britain's chief scientist has warned.

Sir David King issued a stark wake-up call that climate change could cause devastating consequences such as famine and drought for hundreds of millions of people unless the world's politicians take more urgent action.



Britain and the rest of the European Union have signed up to a goal of limiting the temperature rise to two degrees. In his strongest warning yet on the issue, Sir David suggested the EU limit will be exceeded.

According to computer-modelled predictions for the Government, a three-degree rise in temperatures could put 400 million more people at risk of hunger; leave between one and three billion more people at risk of water stress; cause cereal crop yields to fall by between 20 and 400 million tons; and destroy half the world's nature reserves.

Environmentalists warned that Greenland's ice cap could melt, raising sea levels by six metres. In Britain, the main threat would come from flooding and "coastal attack" as sea levels rose.

In a BBC interview yesterday, Sir David said it was essential that the world began to make the necessary changes now. "We don't have to succumb to a state of despondency where we say that there is nothing we can do so let's just carry on living as per usual. It is very important to understand that we can manage the risks to our population - and around the world," he said. "What we are talking about here is something that will play through over decades - we are talking 100 years or so. We need to begin that process of investment. It is going to be a major challenge for the developing countries. There are no certainties here. If you ask me where do we feel the temperature is likely to end up if we move to a level of carbon dioxide of 550 parts per million - which is roughly twice the pre-industrial level and the level at which we would be optimistically hoping we could settle - the temperature rise could well be in excess of three degrees Centigrade. And yet we are saying 550 parts per million in the atmosphere is probably the best we can achieve through global agreement."



"The best thing Tony Blair could do is to bring in the climate change law called for in The Big Ask campaign which would enable the UK to show the world that it is possible to reduce emissions by delivering on our targets at home."

Peter Ainsworth, the shadow Environment Secretary, said: "Sir David King's pessimism on climate change is disturbing. All credible scientific evidence, including his own, clearly implies that a rise in global temperature of over two degrees Centigrade would threaten to unleash rapid and catastrophic climate change, leading to economic and social disaster. The world's poorest people would be hit first and hardest. With effective political action at international, national and local levels, we can not only avert this disaster, but also create lasting prosperity based on clean, new technologies. Defeatism can only pave the way to a miserable future."



SEAS RISE

2100, and the world's temperature has risen by 3C. The ice cap covering Greenland is in retreat, eventually adding 7 metres to sea levels, and the west Antarctic ice sheet starts melting. Arctic summer sea ice disappears, killing the polar bear. You can sail to the North Pole. Coastal urban populations in Africa and Asia are at risk.

RAINFOREST RETREATS

The Amazon breaks down as rainfall decreases, causing the forest to collapse into savannah. It deals a devastating blow to global biodiversity - the basin is home to millions of species of wildlife - and the earth's ability to recycle carbon emissions. The ocean and the soil become net carbon contributors, further speeding global warming.

WEATHER WORSENS

Climate increasingly volatile as warming adds energy to weather systems. Events of the past decade foreshadow floods (Bangladesh, India), drought (east Africa), hurricanes and cyclones (Mozambique, Nicaragua and Honduras), forest fires (the Mediterranean, Alaska and Russia) and insect plagues (Canada) that wrack the globe.

DROUGHT SPREADS

Africa's Great Lakes shrivel; Malawi's wetlands dry up and acute water shortages threaten fishing and farming livelihoods (40 per cent of its GDP). Worldwide, 3bn people face severe "water stress", with possible water wars in Central Asia and Africa. Mass migration out of North Africa. By 2100, Peru faces drought as its glaciers melt.

ECOSYSTEMS COLLAPSE

A fifth of the world's surface has changed significantly, from melting Arctic tundra to vanishing cloud forest in Queensland, Australia (exterminating the native Golden Bowerbird, above). A 3.7C rise would kill or critically endanger 40 per cent of Africa's mammals. Up to 38 per cent of Europe's birds and 20 per cent of its plants are extinct or at risk.

FAMINE GROWS

Snow melts earlier in the year so water sources dry before crops finish growing in areas such as the Sierra Nevada and northern India, left. Up to 400 million people at risk of hunger as 400 million tons of cereal crops are lost, with Africa hit worst. Crop yields fall for the first time since the agricultural revolution in Europe, Russia and America.

What if...

55 Percentage of the world's population would be exposed to dengue fever - up from 30 per cent in 1990. Insect-borne diseases like dengue and malaria, which already claim 1.3m lives a year, would spread away from the equator towards the poles.

3bn Population at risk of water shortages as rising temperatures dry surface water and reduce rainfall.

54 Percentage of mammals that will die in South Africa (worst-case scenario). Up to 40 per cent of the country's birds, 70 per cent of butterflies and 45 per cent of reptiles will also be extinct or critically endangered.

1/2 Nature reserves that will no longer be able to fulfil their conservation objectives, due to dying species or habitats.

-10c British temperature drop during wintertime, once global warming reaches the point where it disrupts Atlantic Ocean currents and switches off the Gulf Stream, which currently warms our island. The North Atlantic marine ecosystem could also collapse when half the plankton die. It is not known exactly what the "tipping point" temperature for this is, but 3C would be close.

The world's temperature is on course to rise by more than three degrees Centigrade despite efforts to combat global warming, Britain's chief scientist has warned.

And yet we are saying 550 parts per million in the atmosphere is probably the best we can achieve through global agreement."

Tony Blair appears resigned to not securing a "Kyoto mark 2" agreement under which countries would set firm targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which is opposed by the Bush administration, India and China. But he is trying to win international agreement on a goal of stabilising temperatures and carbon emissions at current levels when the Kyoto agreement expires in 2012, mainly through cleaner energy technology.

Sir David made a thinly veiled attack on President Bush's approach after his chief climate adviser James Connaughton said recently he did not believe anyone could forecast a safe carbon dioxide level and that cutting greenhouse gas emissions could harm the world economy. Sir David said politicians who believed they could simply rely on new technologies to produce cleaner fuels should start listening to the scientists. "There is a difference between optimism and head in the sand," he said.

But the Government's critics accused Sir David of being defeatist. Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, said: "It is technologically possible to significantly reduce our emissions and deliver two degrees [Centigrade]. Professor King should be pressing for Government policies to deliver on this rather than accepting the current lack of political will and talking of three degrees as an inevitability.

"The best thing Tony Blair could do is to bring in the climate change law called for in The Big Ask campaign which would enable the UK to show the world that it is possible to reduce emissions by delivering on our targets at home."

Peter Ainsworth, the shadow Environment Secretary, said: "Sir David King's pessimism on climate change is disturbing.

With effective political action at international, national and local levels, we can not only avert this disaster, but also create lasting prosperity based on clean, new technologies. Defeatism can only pave the way to a miserable future."

Tony Grayling, associate director of the Institute for Public Policy Research, said: "We are not bound to get to three degrees. Even with technology we have got, we can stay within two degrees." He urged the Government to set a target of cutting its carbon dioxide emissions by 90 per cent by 2050. It has pledged to reduce them by 60 per cent by 2050 but admitted last month it would miss its goal of cutting them by 20 per cent of 1990 levels by 2010.

I think environmental problem is a humanised concept. It is a problem because human thinks it is. If one were to read a little about the beginning of the planet until the dead of a planet, human is just here for a short period of time. The earth is nothing much but a pile of rock (composit materials) spinning in an vast emptiness call: "Space". Human particularly from developed nations are "Poluting the Earth" in such big ways that now this concenpt has becoming an alarming feelings particularly within the developed nation. Think of the Space shutter that sent out from the earth propelling by Oxigen. It is actually taking out the amount of limited O2 from the earth and burning it around space. Think of the bombs being dropped during the past big and small wars in both the recent and long history. In the end, if colonising Mars, and other planet with proper living supporting elements is not suscessful, and that we are keeping on creatin toxic elements within the earth environment, human will just all be dead. Of course, other live forms (animals and plants) will then take over the earth and what human deems environmental problems could be food, or neccesity for their lives support.
