How could industrialism be related to environmental issues going on today?
how could the industrial revolution that happened from the 18th to 19th centuries be related to today's environmental issues or maybe even some other problems going around the world that are due to industrialism? thanksHow could industrialism be related to environmental issues going on today?the industrial revolution is still going on in china. the poisons from the chemicals that saturated everything don't go away, they cause things like global warming which the capitalists will deny. it's more important to make money than live i guess.How could industrialism be related to environmental issues going on today?Are you kidding? The impact of oil, mining, chemical pollution, etc etc can all be traced back to industry and capitalism.How could industrialism be related to environmental issues going on today?chemicals that were created back then are still present here right now, just like all the oxygen ;)
What are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?
I have made a list of what I think are our major problems but without any priority. You may use my list or come up with your own but please keep in mind that I am talking about our whole planet not just specific regions or countries - I know many of you would like to see affordable 90 inch Hi-def (1080p) Plasma screens as number one. Also try to make the problem specific in description but encompassing the major populous. Here's my list of problems:
Energy Crisis
(High oil prices, Peak oil, high food prices)
Food Crisis
(High food prices, famines, food rationing, starvation)
Pollution
(Green house gas emissions, acid rain, toxic waterways and reserves, disease, bad health)
Climate Change
(Melting polar caps, rising sea levels, water shortages, floods and other escalated natural disasters)
Economic Disasters
(Sub prime crash, stock market crash, business collapse, money shortage)
Epidemic Disasters
(Bird Flu, Aids, Bubonic plague, mad cow, Ebola)
Environmental Disasters
(Earth quakes, Cyclones (Hurricanes, Typhoons), Tornadoes, Floods, Landslides, Fires)
Human aggression
(War, terrorism, murder, mass murder, intimidation, humiliation, racism, sexism, prejudice)
Over Population
(Food shortage, water shortage, resource shortages, housing shortage, price escalation, disease, pollution, greed, wars, prejudice, murder, higher mortality rate from environmental disasters)
What are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?World population, 1970 approximately 3,300,000,000
World population, 2008 approximately 6,700,000,000
and growing by 1,000,000,000 every four days.
Most other problems are just symptoms of this one.What are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?
humanity being evil ( we cant help it...or can we...?)
human aggression
destroying or beautiful planet( i think we should live without technology)
humans not being open minded
not knowing what is reality ( new science has just said a whole bunch of stuff that we think is reality but isn't. if we don't know what reality is....than.........)
food crisisWhat are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?Bad clothes. The things some people wear!
Celebrities. There just isn't enough gossip to make it interesting!
The economy. Poor people should pay more taxes. Not us!
Sun block. Every year it is more confusing about which is good!
Television. A few more cable channels, please.What are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?
One word greedWhat are the 5 biggest problems facing the Human Race and in what priority?1. Food quality and supply.2. Enviro-destruction ( clear cut logging, air/water pollution, excessive garbage production to name a few). 3.Oil and it's negative politics. Along w/ overuse of it.4. War mongering, military industrial complex. Earth was Garden of Eden, now it's been a war planet since man and my final problem came along.5. Religion. It divides and causes more hate and war along with mindless overpopulation! All for myth and theory!

Environmental Science Questions! Please Help?
1. When can a biodegradable material like newspaper become a pollutant?
2. How can we reach a sustainable world?
3. During which period in human history did nost of the environmental problems that we see today?
4. The chance that an earthquake will occur during the next year is an example of _________.
5. Which step in the experimental method are scientists conducting when they photograph birds in flight?
6. Why are curiosity and imagination important in science?Environmental Science Questions! Please Help?1. when there is too much of it to degrade quickly or its in an area where the degrade matter is still a pollutant.
When it is burned instead of naturally decomposed.
2. Educate population in better behaviors; design systems so that recycling is easy - example why dont city waste colletions wont pickup car batteries - these are almost 100% recyclable. Why do they take steel/metal again these are recyclable.
Reduce packaging; I mean have you ever tried to open one of those indestructible plastic shells that cover hard tools and electroics.
Finally all product design must include a disposal plan. For exaample a Tv should be desined so the platics can be easy separted from the metal; the heavy metals from the wires and glass. That way it will more economical to recycle.
City should allow "junk men" to pickup metals and other itmes off the curb. Many will ticket you for this.
3. Industrial Revolution. NO thought at all given to pollution. Steel mills of Cleveland and Pittsubugh spewed soot and gaes with not concern. Oli Companies; mining companies used toxic materials in theri processing and did not have to control them; just dumped them into rivers.
5. data collection

Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?
I think Victor works for Monsanto.
He seems to know a lot, if you lived in a box and never left the city his comments might seem to make a lot of sense. Some of the scary things he says may indeed come to pass, but not because of 'natural' causes.
First, GMO, Genetically Modified Organism are flat out dangerous. you can do your own research use your own logic and common sense to make a decision on that.
The federal govt and companies that create GMOs are doing more to damage not only our agricultural abilities but the environment as well.
One right after the other the family farm is being pushed out of existence. Farm land is being reduced, and more and more held by a few large agri-corps. Agriculture itself is so legislated on the small scale that very very soon it is going to be illegal to grow your own vegetables in your own garden. Huge tracts of farm-able land sits, all through the United States. There are more places than less in the U.S. where you can drive for hours through land that could be farmed? Why is it not? Laws. Thats the only reason.
I find it interesting that some talk about "sustainable farming" sustainable farming was pioneered in the 1800s and perfected right up to the 1940s. By that time the small independent farmer pretty much had it down, crop rotation etc.
I feel for Moosedog, he's so close to the problem and even he doesnt see the big picture. He thinks its all just economics, but it's not. Its a systematic plan that has been well executed over many years.
This is not conspiracy theory craziness, this is observation of a few facts.
If demand is greater than supply, the price goes up.
If the total number of farmland decreases and total amount of product supplied decreases then demand must exceed supply and thereby drive prices up.
If prices increase due to normal factors, then the original supplier (the farmer) should realize a higher profit for their produce.
We have less farmland and fewer farms.
We have less produce from that farmland and fewer farms.
We have larger population that must consume that produce. Making the demand obviously exceed the supply, driving the prices up.
That would mean a greater dollar income to the farmer. But as Moosedog may testify the individual farmer is not realizing an increase in income.
Why?
Where is the money. Your paying more for a gallon of milk at the grocery store than ever before. But the independent dairies all over the nation are dumping their milk because they cant make enough money to sell it. Independent dairies across the nation are not making more for a gallon of milk then they made 5 years ago, yet the retail price of milk has gone up ten fold in that time period. Half of the dairy farms that were around ten years ago are now gone. Where's the money going? I don't know, but I know it's not getting down to the farmer.
meh. who cares. your not listening anyway.Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?No. As long as you do not describe what you mean by "sustainable agriculture", every form of agriculture is sustainable. Also you have to describe "environmental degradation" and where it is situated.
Remember "the" environment does not exist because you have show us where it is.
Hope you are helped with this answer.Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?
All agriculture is sustainable so long as sufficient seeds and young animals are raised for the next crop or harvest.
However, the population of the planet has doubled in about 40 years to 6 billion. We might expect it to rise to 10 billion by 2030 and to 40 billion by 2100. There is no possibility of feeding this population with current agricultural methods or food-crops.
Also, that number of people cannot possibly live in the territories we currently occupy. More and more land must be given over to housing, water collection, water treatment and sewage management, transport and so on.
The answer must lie in two scientific developments:
1. Genetic modification of crops to produce higher yields, longer storage life, greater nutritional value.
2. Changes to current agricultural processes where vast areas of land are given over to rather low-yield old fashioned crops. New high-concentration crops must produce 50 tonnes per hectare instead of the current 5-10 tonnes, in controlled environments, with appropriate additives, collected by industrial methods and distributed around the world by new transport technologies.
Otherwise, the end of the human race will not come by disease or nuclear war but by bad old-fashioned famine. If today's farming methods are still in use in 2050, we might expect two-thirds of the human race to die of starvation. Not in USA, of course, because the administration will make sure that fertile areas of the Earth are under US military control. It will just be everyone else who starves to death.Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?I won't go into detail, but jackiniraq is wrong on several accounts.
About this environmental degradation, it's obvious you're a young person. I'm sure I've been around a lot longer than you and take my word for it that the environment (at least in the US) is in much better shape than it was 40 years ago. And a heck of a lot better shape than in the early part of the 19th century. Just about all of the EPA "Superfund" clean up sites are from businesses that were in operation pre-1970.
I remember when in 1969 the Cuyahoga River in Ohio actually caught fire and burned for several days. It was so polluted with industrial wastes that once it caught fire, it had to burn itself out. And how Lake Erie was so polluted that the game fishing business was nearly gone but now the water is clean and game fishing is thriving. I also remember seeing signs along the Potomac River in 1978 that forbade swimming because the water was polluted badly enough to be dangerous to human health. And bald eagles being put on the endangered list because DDT thinned their egg shells (they have now been removed from the endangered list). When I was a kid, roadside littering left highways looking like a trash dump. In the early 1980's I worked on "RAMP" projects reclaiming abandoned strip mines left over from the 1930s where the pH of the runoff water tested 1.8-2, stronger than vinegar. Let's not forget high levels of lead in vegetables grown in fields and gardens near heavily traveled roads because of leaded gasoline. And health problems in large cities because of smog. And let's not forget rubber being a major air pollutant in Los Angles from automobile tire wear. LA later became the first US city to require the use of longer wearing radial tires. Look up any of the key words I used and you'll see that I'm not making any of this up.Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?
I live on a farm and if somthing isn't done there wont be no farming. Everey thing you grow and try to feed, in the end you dont make anything. It to expensive to fertilize and spray crops to come out in the end. It is to expensive to feed animals and then take them to sell and not get enough to pay your feed bill, and we grind our own feed. The small farms will be gone before you know it and then watch the price of food and clothing sky rocket. The economy doesn't help us right know and neither is obama.Is sustainable agriculture the key to todays problem of increasing environmental degradation?nope.. population reduction is the answer.. we are currently over 6.7 billion people.. every mouth to feed, every one wanting toilet paper for their bums... more people also = more pollution etc..google translations
