Environmental Consequences of Human Actions
Pollution
Invariable product of industry
Burning of fossil fuels
Gas
Crude Oil
Coal
Burning of materials
Bonfires and household fires in fireplaces
Smog
E.G wood
Forestation
A-Forestation
Creating New Habitats
Replacing Natural impact
De-Forestation
Cutting down trees significantly impacts the environment in a negative way.
Destroying natural beauty
Destroying Habitats
O-Zone De-Composition
Thankfully, there have been bans placed on these substances and they have been prohibited.
However, there are still holes in the O-Zone layer over the poles
The O-Zone has managed to repair much of the damage to itself
Many everyday objects used to contain gases and chemicals that were harmful to the o-zone.
Hair Spray
Refrigerators
Deodorant
Oceans
Littering
Organisations are trying to reduce ocean pollution
Sky Ocean Rescue
One World One Ocean
Plastic Dumping
Garbage Islands four times the size of Texas
Plastic is THE most common element found in the ocean, other than water and salt
Over 100 Million sea birds are killed every year as a result of ocean pollution
Animals and Habitats
New habitats being created
Synthetic Habitats
Advances in captivity e.g. Zoos
A-Forestation
Wildlife and conservation groups looking after endangered and/or homeless animals e.g. WWF
Habitats being destroyed to make way for industry and development
Global Warming
There are many negative impacts
Insect outbreaks and forest fires increase
Shrinks habitats for polar bears, seabirds and seals
Communities being forced to move
Actions of humans have severely impacted the general surface temperature of the planet
Ice is melting in the poles
Making global sea levels rise
Most global cities are with 3 metres of global sea levels
The ice melting could raise sea levels by seven meters, flooding 80% of major global cities in at least 4 metres of water.
However, there are also positive things that can come out of global warming and climate change
Agriculture can expand North
Opens up navigations season and means there is increased access to and through the poles
More trade routes
Forests replacing existing tundra, creating more habitats
