SAVE THE PLANET!
SAVE OURSELVES!
Global warming
climate change is partly man-made
main cause are greenhouse gases (carbone dioxide)
if not curbed, will change
wheather
animal migration patterns
frequency of natural disasters
melting of glaciers
deplation of the ozone layer
soil erosion
human health
water shortage (coastal land will disappear, forcing people to resettle inland)
Water supply
massive damming causes
falls in river flows
rising saltiness in biologically-rich waterways
loss of fish
aquatic plant life
shrinking farmland
problem for billions of people who lack drinking water and proper sanitation
Energy
dependence of fossil fuel is not sustainable
fossil fuel emissions damaging environment
we will reach peak oil production
nuclear power
radioactive fallout
radiation
search for alternative sources of energy
Biofuels
made from crops (maize/corn, palm oil)
release as much carbon into the atmosphere, as they absorb, when they grow
current production is blighted by
environmental cost of transportation
depletion of soil nutrients
pollution
deforestation
