I am a supporter of the legitimacy of the Global Warming problem, and a long time environmentalist, but I see climate change itself (since the change doesn't seem especially significant) as minor compared to other things plaguing our planet.
Does Global Warming make the public as a whole more aware of environmental issues, since it's really a pollution issue (not a climate issue), or is all the hype just making it hard to concentrate on core environmental issues like biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, air and water pollution, overpopulation and resource preservation?|||it was intentionally designed and promoted by madison avenue through captive media outlets to distract attention from functional conservation programs and concentrate the attention on oil company profits and political power. All the functional programs are now either dead or almost dead and we are still dependent on fossil fuels and will be far into the future because of the AGW program.|||Global warming is false. The world is not overpopulated, it's just the people are concentrated in areas (deserts and scrub) unable to sustain higher life forms like people and animals.
Global warming is based on knee-jerk reactions to a minor spike in temperatures several years ago. Right now we are going through the coldest, snowiest winter in about 12 years. But this winter is no different than in the 1970's with lots of cold and snow. So I'm willing to accept that weather and climate goes in cycles. The climate is *always changing* and will continue to do so.
The bigger problem is land and water pollution. Al Gore's carbon credits do nothing to clean up the trash left over in city parks, or that there is so much plastic waste in the oceans that it's being ingested by fish. The plastic has been broken down into pellets and is threatening to replace sand.|||An actual intelligent question about global warming. I'm not used to seeing those in the religion section of Y/A, I mean global warming section of Y/A.
I would say yes. I am of the mind that global warming is a hijacking of the environmental movement. Resources and time are being siphoned away that could be used to deal with problems that are more pressing, solvable, and real. Soil degradation, fresh water supplies, and air pollution are far bigger threats.
When the apocalypse fails to materialize people will consider all future warnings of problems to be just more scaremongering. The AGW crowd is doing harm to the environmental movement.
By conflating science with the dogmatic support of axiomatic ideas, the AGW crowd discredits science and all enlightened thinking.
AGW is a false doom. CO2 is a trace gas, and it is vital to life. A minor rise is not a bad thing. We're a tropical animal, our food supplies rely on warmth and moisture. What they predict would be more benefit than harm.|||While we may be going through one of the coldest winters ever, other places are going through the warmest summer ever. Big misconception, the earth doesn't get warmer with global warming, the oceans do which causes the weather to change in turn effecting the environment.
I think global warming does get in the way of the actual environmental concern. People get too fixated on disproving it to see the real point. We are messing up the planet and need to get it under control. Yes, all the people in the world could fit on Rhode Island but imagine all the by products of those people, all the cars each one owns, all the trash they produce and the fact that everybody wants some land to live on. Now take away all the uninhabitable land, you're not left with much.|||I see the battle as one that brings to light the environment as a whole. And that is good for everyone.|||yes, trying to prevent global warming is just a waste of time and resources that can go to real environmental issues|||polar bears are drowning in their natural habitat. thats a biodiversity loss.

Why is scientific assessment considered a component in solving environmental problems?
Also why do we consider public education as vital in solving environmental problems|||The first step in problem solving is to define and understand the problem. Determining the mechanics is an important part of diagnosing the problem, which is one method of finding solutions. Also, scientific assessment can help predict the results of proposed solutions.
Public education helps the common folk understand the problem and solutions. Very few have the level of education in each specific field of problem.

Do you agree that all environmental problems are?
in some way related to the human population growth?
Do you think that our population growth has anything to do with environmental problems?|||I wouldn't say ALL, but many environmental problems are caused by population growth. Animals being driven to extinction is typically a result of humans taking over their natural habitat. However, if a lake is polluted via phosphorous loading it might not be caused by how many humans are around but more about how careless the humans that are around are being. I think that a majority of our environmental problems are caused by over population and that the rest are caused by carelessness and poor practices.|||there was an ice age before humans existed, which was a big environmental problem. So I think they exist regardless of humans.|||Vast majority, not including global warming.|||Some are directly related, some are a natural cyclic occurrence.|||Not all but we certainly influence them. Deforestation, pollution, damming, some animal extinctions, etc all have an impact.|||http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/society/popu鈥?/a>
i think so yes that our population growth has effect on our environmetal problems

10th grade biology project, ways to solve environmental problems, any ideas?
I am in 10th grade biology and we have to do a project that helps with the environmental issues that we struggle with in today's world, like: Oil spills, global warming, air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, solid waste disposal, disposal of computers,climate change, anticipated environmental problems, etc. I really need help with an idea for a project all ideas will be greatly appreciated!|||Besides researching alternative energy solutions and such, I highly recommend researching biomimcry/biomimesis. Basically, nearly all the problems we have today can be solved by mimicking organisms found in Nature. For example, we use dyes to color our clothing, dyes that eventually fade the more we wash them. Birds and insects, however, have colored feathers and scales that have incredibly vibrant colors that don't fade, and are produced by the interplay of light with the microscopic structure of the scales/feathers. Not only that, they grow these things with safe, non-toxic chemicals and without destroying their environments. Another example: Spiders produce silk that is stronger than steel of equal size. In order for humans to produce a substance, we would need a factory, huge heavy machinery to treat the substance with massive amounts of pressure, lots of heat, and toxic chemicals. Spiders can produce it with non-toxic chemicals, under livable temperatures and pressures, within their own bodies. There are tons more examples if you need them. If you can mimic these natural processes, you can make industry safer, more energy efficient, and less toxic, which would help tremendously. I hope that helps and isn't too large in scope for your project. Good luck!|||MY answer would be to reduce the global surface population by a few billion.

Is global government the answer for environmental problems?
Do we need a global government to deal with environmental problems while pursuing sustainable development? What does Scripture indicate concerning global government? Is the promotion of global government relative to environmental needs a nefarious plot of the globalists? Was the concept of “sustainable development” itself a code word for a globalist agenda? Is multilateral cooperation, instead of global government, sufficient for success in sustainable development?|||NO! Just being in the United Nations is a big enough mistake! If we can't get the nations to follow the rules with the United Nations what good are they and what good would a new group in their place do? I think that there will always be the wicked governments that do everything that they can to avoid any of the rules and regulations concerning environmental protection.

Water wastage and shortage, water pollution, acid rain, deforestation, land fill dumps leeching into the watertable, unchecked garbage dumping, overfishing, high numbers of endangered species, desertification, global warming destroying the glaciers, high per capita greenhouse gas emissions, sulphur dioxide emissions, carbon monoxide emissions, volatile organic compound emissions, energy consumption, energy efficiency, volume of timber logged and generation of nuclear waste, higher commercial fertilizer use, higher population and lower official development assistance, air quality..
Sorry if I repeated anything.|||While many people want to believe in environmental armageddon, in fact, things are pretty good in Canada.
There's certainly no shortage of water. We have 20% of the world's fresh water, and don't use anywhere near all of it. There are some issues of getting water to the people, but that's a simple engineering challenge which can be easily solved if the wealth destroyers would get out of the way.
Acid rain was fixed last century.
There is no desertifcation in Canada. Agricultural practices have improved conserably in the last 50 years (mostly phasing out of summer fallowing). 2002 had the lowest rainfall of any year in recorded history (even less than 1937 -- the worst year of the 1939s), but there was no significant loss of topsoil.
We have lots of land to store our garbage, and lots of ability to turn it to good use like energy. We could double all the landfills in Canada, and still be using less than .01% of our land. Again, it's an easy engineering problem to solve, but there are too many obstructionists who don't want the problem solved because then they would have nothing to complain about.
Our forest cover, like the rest of North America, has increased, not decreased, in the last 50 years. Every other continent has seen a decrease. 85% of forest loss is due to insects and fires, not chopping down trees. If environmentalists would let us control the insects, we'd have even more trees.
Yes, most glaciers are receding, but that's been the case ever since records started being kept in the 19th century. It's natural for glaciers to recede in between ice ages.

Like eutrophication,
deforestation,
acid precipitation,
destruction of coastal resources
and wildlife depletion
KINDLY GIVE ME OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
along with there causes and effects
please don't give me the link..summarize it for me please..i'll choose a best answer for the one who truly helped me..thanks|||eutrophication is when an excess of nitrogen (mainly from fertilizers and other pollutants) enters a waterway and causes a rapid growth in algae and other organisms that will eventually deplete the water body of oxygen. Results of this are massive fish kills as well as other organisms. Also, when this occurs it is a tough cycle to break because usually it will lead to more algae being produced.
Deforestation has natural and anthropogenic causes. Natural disasters like volcanoes (pyroclastic flows) or tsunamis can clear entire forests as can heavy winds or melting permafrost. Humans mainly clear trees to make way for buildings roads and other infrastructures. The effects of deforestation include habitat and species loss, extinctions of threatened and endgangered species, a risk of dropping air, soil and water quality, less buffer to climate change.....
Acid precipitation is caused by a complex chemical reaction that takes place in the atmosphere where sulfuric acid is actually produced. This then falls in diluted amounts on the land and can cause massive fish kills and other organism kills by lowering the pH of surrounding water and soil. Many plants are also affected by this. The sulfur enters the atmosphere through industrial pollution of sulfur aersols and through the burning of fossil fuels. This too can lower the biodiversity of an area and kill of several species....
Coastal resources are the most important areas on earth, from both an environmental and economical point of view, The destruction of the coast lines is caused by improper building practices that is putting too much develop too close to the water. This development is not only at high risk for damaging the ecosystem and being swept away in a storm, but it also is causing more problems by increasing, waste, pollution and cutting off natural processes of sand erosion and transport....the effects include the loss of a very specific habitat and a great risk of natural disasters because we build in more vulnerable areas.
wildlife depletion is cauased by too many thigns to name. There is definitely a natural loss of wildlife through back ground extinction and genetics, but also there is human caused loss. The main reason for this loss is because of habitat loss or degradation. Degradation is just when the habitat is damged in someway but not destroyed. It is a shame because there are so many species that we have not find nor have explored to see their role in medical uses or anything else, but we continue to kill their habitat. The effects of this are far reaching becasue we never know if we might kill off the wrong animal that will then have huge effects on the humans in the long run

What environmental problems are caused by co2 emissions?
Please help me as i dont know what the answer is!
what environmental problems are caused by co2 emissions?
Thank you.|||CO2 is a dangerous, hazardous and obnoxious gas that we emit into our atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions are directly proportional to fuel consumption. The higher the fuel consumption, and the greater the impact on climate change.
Future CO2 levels are expected to rise due to ongoing burning of fossil fuels and land-use change
We burn fossil fuels for electricity (from coal and gas) in our homes and businesses, our cars, flights and to create the food, clothes and other things we buy and consume every day.
it is up to each of us to clean our own mess|||The "greenhouse effect" which causes global warming is largely the result of CO2 emissions.
Carbon dixoide - and other gases such as methane - reflect back the heat from sunlight to the Earth, instead of it being lost to outer space.
We need some CO2 to heat the planet up, but too much will melt polar ice caps, causing a rise in sea level. Animals which can't adapt to the rise in temperature will die out. Polar bears will be in danger of extinction (think camouflage).
Deserts will grow in size, menaing less arable land to grow crops. Icebergs melting mean more heat is absorbed by the darker sea, so the temperature rises still further.
Most of the world's capital cities were built near rivers (because of access to easy drinking water and transport) - they will be at risk of flooding.
There will be a rise in extreme weather - more hurricanes and floods - as more energy is put into the climate. There will be more forest fires and droughts.
Britain, paradoxically, may cool down, if the Gulf Stream which warms us goes into reverse - due to it being disrupted by fresh water from melting ice caps.|||the extreme change of weather... the temperature of the earth increases.. melting the icebergs on the north and south pole.. which will eventually flood the whole world if all the icebergs were to melt...

What effect does the fact that polar bears are becoming extinct have on environmental problems?
The Polar Bear problem compared to other biodiversity problems. Is there a connection? Is there a connection between the polar bear problem and other environmental problems, e.g. the obvious one with climate change?|||The fact is that They aren't. Polar bear population has grown dramatically since hunting them was banned by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in 1972.
The Earth's temperature has not risen in over 15 years, not even by 1/10 of a degree (F). There are parts of the Arctic that appear to be "warming" or "melting," but this is cyclical (normal) and happens periodically. There are other parts of the Arctic that have "freezing" far beyond the norm.|||Environmentalists = crazy people who skew facts by presenting only certain, specific details that helps their case and ignore any other form of facts and generally ignore logic and common sense (almost as much as Evangelical Christians).

There are not enough trees. More trees with high canopy shade will lower the higher temperatures caused from concrete, asphalt and metal heating up in the sun like a solar oven. Trees are an organic aircon system that lower temperatures by dispersing groundwater as a fine mist thru leaves. Trees also filter pollution, carbon dioxide, dust and increase oxygen levels thus improving air quality. More trees will also reduce urban noise levels. More trees will create habitat for birds, squirrels, etc. Rainwater retention ponds serve to replenish groundwater, mitigate flooding, and improve the water quality of storm water run off. Manila should adopt a strategy similar to that of New York City, that pledged to green modernize the city by planting the maximum number of trees possible to maximize the area of tree shade cover. An economic study of New York City found that this landscape strategy will quickly pay for itself just by the saved electricity due to lower aircon demand from lower temperature provided by the shade trees. Two stroke motor bikes and other vehicle that cause a lot of pollution could be phased out with a pollution tax, while offering a subsidy or tax exemption for green vehicles that run on electric, methane or natural gas. Methane digestors could process sewage and create fuel. Cultivating and harvesting water plants or certain algae in the rivers of Manila could clean the water of excess nutrients while growing high protien fish or animal feed, this would improve the enviornment and Manila Bay fisheries.|||ung mga maduduming canal, baradong estero, air pollution, noise pollution, mga taong kung saan saan umiihe, tapon ng tapon ng basura kung saan saan,

How can we use the Internet to help solve environmental problems?
I have mentioned sharing CPU time with research groups. Also, although it is still a new idea, things like ordering groceries over the Internet can help a great deal in many ways. First the delivery person can drive only one vehicle and plan the most efficient route to deliver thus cutting down on all the vehicle usage that would have occurred if each person had driven to the store. Also if a store only warehoused groceries it would not have to waste a tremendous amount of resources making the place "nice" for shoppers. This also would help lower costs of goods as the overhead would be reduced.
This is just one way. What other ways can you think of that the Internet would be useful to help us with our environmental problems?|||The Internet can be used to raise awareness, especially among the younger generation. While they may be spending less time on reading newspapers, they spend more time on the internet. They are also the future consumers and unfortunately are targeted by advertisers from a very early age. They also grow up with the idea that bigger is better, or more is better. Thus they want bigger cars, without realizing the environmental costs; they want processed food without realizing the various environmental hazards that can come from the enormous amounts of packaging needed; they believe in science and progress blindly sometimes without realizing that patenting a seed by a multimilliondollar corporation is not only going to harm the traditional farmers the world over, but will also lead to less variety and ultimately to crop monoculture (as is already happening with Monsanto's promotion of Soybeans)....
Many of us are not even aware of these issues... and awareness is the first step to finding a solution. As we are finding in some schools where children are helping to grow organic vegetables, their diets are changing away from junk foods. Similarly, if many of us get to know about the various small ways we may contribute to solving environmental problems, we can do something to change our habits. Most importantly, if we get to know of the bigger issues concerning the environment (example of Monsanto given above or USA's refusal to be a part of the Kyoto Protocol) then collectively we can take a stand to influence the higher level policy decisions.
The internet could step in at this stage too, in helping with grassroots level organization, with informational newsletters, signature campaigns, etc.|||or maybe you can stay off the internet and save the electricity|||Any economy is based on information and energy. All economic activity, deep down, is based on energy usage and information transfer.
As we have developed more and more technology, especially information technology, we are able to use energy more efficiently and get more economic value per joule. Energy equates to resources, so any way to reduce energy inputs in economic activity help the environment overall.

How is the scientific method used to solve environmental problems?
How is the scientific method applied in order to solve environmental problems? What is a real-life example? Please use correct terminology in your explanation.|||well - there is not ONE scientific method for solving all problems.
each problem needs specific scientistic methods for achieving
a solution.
the only scientific method theoretically possible would be
extinction of mankind

How can technology actually contribute to environmental problems?
1.How can technology actually contribute to environmental problems?
2.What factors have contributed to why we are producing more greenhouse gases that affect the environment?
3.What happens to animals like polar bears, trees, or buildings when the earth gets hotter due to the environmental crisis?|||1) Some modern technologies allow us to filter out carbon dioxide from fossil fuels which are burned. Some technologies also allow us to actually scrub the carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases.
2) The massive increase in industry since the industrial revolution and all of the fuels we burn in transportation increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the environment.
3) If the earth heats up, the ice caps will begin to melt which will also affect the people living near the oceans since they will flood.

How do Automobile complicate environmental problems such as global warming?
How do Automobile complicate environmental problems such as global warming? Are there any solutions to this?|||Automobiles release carbon emissions into the air. So think of a cigarette, you know how when you smoke the carcinogens go into your lungs, eventually turning them black? Well its the same with the environment/ozone layer. They give out carbon emissions and then the ozone layer starts this whole "green house gas effect" and basically in the end it traps the sun in the earth between the ground and the ozone layer causing everything to heat up and icebergs to melt etc.|||Automobiles complicate the possible solutions, not the "problem".
In other words.
The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). - Mobilized the world.
Trading between nations where made possible by the Internal Combustion Engine. Defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, was made possible by the Internal Combustion Engine. The food you eat, was transported to your local market by a Internal Combustion Engine. Transportation goods, has been made possible by the Internal Combustion Engine. Everything you accept as normal, made possible by an Internal Combustion Engine. Eliminating ICE from the equation would indeed have a very dramatic effect on all life, as we know it, today.

What are the top five or ten major global environmental problems today and according to whom?
I am trying to discover what the common themes or priorities are related to environmental problems from a large group or bodies standpoint like the UN, EPA, Green Peace, etc.
Some of the central themes or "Hot Topics" that I am considering are Biodiversity, Climate Change, Genetic Engineering of Food, Human Population, Natural Disasters, Nature and Animal Conservation.
However, I can not seem to find a source that helps to unify or specifically state what the generally accepted problems related to the environment are. Everyone seems more interested in "one uping" someone else's problem or only interested in there own silo. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.|||http://silentdissonance.net/

How environmental problems can be considered a problem for national security?
The Earth鈥檚 resources are without a doubt dwindling. While the direct cause of this phenomenon may be debatable, there is cause for concern that competition over resources will lead to conflict within the international system. If you can write a memo to President Obama and explain how environmental problems can be considered a problem for national security, what will you write? Discuss this with reference to three problems within the global commons. Are these short-term or long-term problems? What efforts have been made to solve these problems? What needs to happen in order for the Earth鈥檚 environment to thrive in the future?|||Business dealings with the fascist country of Saudi Arabia might be a good place to start that memo.|||If there is too much smog in the air, we won't be able to spot enemy aircraft as easily, relying mainly on radar.
What are the environmental problems associated with the combustion of hydrocarbons?
I need to make notes for my chemistry homework.. I don't have my book so can't really do them so please help me ... This is the question:
'Make notes on the environmental problems associated with the combustion (complete or incomplete) of hydrocarbons.
Include:
Sulfur dioxide
Carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide
NOx
If these form other compounds, what are they? What problems do they cause? How can we reduce this?
Please Help x|||Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides cause acid rain by dissolving in water droplets in clouds; forming sulfuric and nitric acids. We can usually get rid of them by passing them over a catalyst, called a catalytic converter which are usually fitted - and have been for some time - in the exhaust systems of cars.
Carbon dioxide, obviously, contributes to global warming as it is a green house gas: it collects in the lower atmosphere and reflects heat back into the earth that has been radiated by the earth's surface.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous to us, if we breathe it in it replaces the oxygen in our blood so our blood cannot carry around the oxygen to our cells. We would die if we inhaled too much of this. It is formed when there is not enough oxygen present for fuel to react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide -%26gt; instead of CO2 we just get CO, see how there are less atoms of oxygen present in the carbon monoxide molecules?
There are also tiny particules made up of unburnt hydrocarbons called Particulates. They travel into the upper atmosphere and cause global dimming - which as the opposite effect to global warming.
Hope this helps. x|||Basically, combustion of hydrocarbons will produce compounds listed above. Sulfur and Nitrogen containing hydrocarbons will produce NOx and SO2 upon combustion. Normally CO2 is an essential compound in the life cycle as this is needed by plants to grow and controls the earths temperature. Excessive amounts of these gases in the atmosphere hinders radiation of heat from the earths surface back into the space. This will increase the earths atmospheric temperature in years which will then resuls into "Global Warming". On the other hand, SOx and NOx upon precipitation will produce acid rain.

What are some global environmental problems that are caused by fast food?
As the title asks, What are some global environmental problems that are caused by fast food? I'm trying to do some research for a paper for global problems caused by fast food and I'm leaning towards the environmental side. It would be great if people could give some suggestions. Thanks!|||Fast food usually has meat in it, and livestock is the number 1 contributor to carbon emissions.
A movie called 'Meat the Truth talks about the links between meat eating and global warming.
Here are some quotes from the movie:
"In the US, the meat industry uses about one third of all the fossil fuels that we generate.”
“The production of 1kg of beef is just as bad for the environment as driving around in the car for three hours while you left all your lights on at home.”
Good luck with your research!|||when i eat fast food it gives me gas and i heard that methane is bad for the ozone layer. but maybe a small hole would not be to bad so we could have some ventilation.

Environmental problems?
i need to do a survey for science on which environmental problems make you upset the most?|||pollution burning the ozone layer
rainforests being cut down
dumping in the rivers|||i think the key here is survey, look up on how to do a quick easy one with your fellow students.
some examples, like above, then ask how do you feel about it, between 1(really just not a problem with it) and 10( i feel terrible, cry and can't sleep), do the math on your collected data.
Opinions here are just that, it does not make a survey, or have meaning "for science".

Environmental problems?
What are some environmental problems that we are facing right now?|||Basically we are stripping our world of it's natural resources: forests, coal and gas to supply our ever growing needs causing the extinction of millions of species daily - i wish this were an exageration. Not only are wasting huge amounts of the energy and resources we are harvesting but are also dumping the waste that is produced back into the environment polluting it.
Instead we should be harvesting the worlds resources sustainably (in a way that doesn't harm the environment and means the resources have a chance to replenish for future generations) and recycling all waste instead of dumping it or releasing it into the air or sea. |||A major one is our explotation of everything on this planet. Acres of forest are torn down to make strip malls. Billions of animals are murdered to make double bacon cheeseburgers. People on this planet are not thinking about 150 years from now, let alone 5. Ride your bike, grow your own food, and don't be a part of this planets downfall.|||these environmental problems have been like for centuries now and still they continue to get even worst.
-illegal logging, overfishing, waste dumping, and ofcourse all lead to CLIMATE CHANGE. |||overpopulation, green house gases, destruction of wildlife
