Forest covers more than 30% of Earth’s land surface, according to the world wildlife Fund. These forests can provide food, medicine, and fuel for more than 1 billion people. Last six months The Guardian has released an article titled “World losing area of forest the size of the UK each year”. The rate of loss has reached 26m hectares a year, a report has found. Another heartbroken fact is Scientists reveal that 1 million species at risk of extinction in damning UN reports. Mass deforestation leaves only 38% of tropical wildlife and that unsafe species will go extinct one day. Today we are going to talk about what are the causes of planet earth’s destruction and what are the effects of their causes. We have researched the fact resource of these destructions and come up with these strong causes three arguments. First, we are going to talk about Humans as a cause of water pollution and air pollution. Second, Humans have been a cause of deforestation for centuries. Lastly we will talk about Humans as a cause of climate change.
First of all, Humans as a cause of water pollution and air pollution: Nowadays water has been polluted in many ways by humans such as “the chemical flowed directly to a lake, river by the factories”. Plastic bags, cans, and other trash have been thrown into the water and fishing in the wrong ways not only killed the life in the water but also polluted the water day by day. These activities not just polluted only the water but it killed many people who use the water and live in the water. Moreover, humans are also the cause of air pollution, those activities such as factories, power plants, cars, rubbish, airplanes, chemicals, fumes from spray cans and methane gas from the landfill. And of the ways that humans cause the most air pollution is by burning fossil fuels. Sometimes the humans did some activities like the burning of wood, the kitchen stoves we use, packaged spray products, household appliances, and our daily litter. And addition, local sources of air pollution could also have global effects. Air pollution is one of the leading contributors to the rising levels of global warming. So, human beings contribute largely to environmental adversity through everyday activities.
Secondly, Humans have been a cause of deforestation for centuries, Natural resources have been taken use by humans to fulfill their daily needs. As we know, Human beings and other species need oxygen to support their life which is provided by trees. It also absorbs the amount of toxic gas such as C02 and other gases from our environment to prevent us from lung disease and keep our planet cold. But each day, More trees have been cut down by humans to build new houses and infrastructure. They also need to clear down the land for farming and building their civilization which rapidly increased the amount of deforestation from day today. This action will not be stopped until we realize how much we will struggle without the presence of natural resources on our planet. A lot of consequences will occur without a tree. The Global temperature will rise, Some parts of our planet will face drought and flooding, and It will put the entire species into danger. As a record from NASA, our global temperature rise of 1-degree celsius annually causes the arctic sea ice to melt and sea level to rise. It is happening because only 30% left of our land area is covered by the forest and they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Between 1990 and 2016, the world lost 502,000 square miles (1.3 million square kilometers) of the forest, according to the World Bank—an area larger than South Africa. Obviously, to save our planet for our future generation to peacefully live on we suggest that deforestation must be immediately stopped. Our people should know more about the benefits of trees and start planting more trees so that more oxygen can be produced to support our life and cold down our environment.
Humans are a cause of climate change: Human activities contribute to climate change by causing a change in temperature, rainfall, winds, and other signals. “Greenhouse gas emission” is one of the major causes of climate change, from one year to one year the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is much higher than in the past, and its ability to cause the changing of heat. These gases increase in the atmosphere, blocking heat from escaping and their sources include transportation, electricity production, burning fossil fuel in industries, commercial and residential application, agriculture, and land use. These gases include carbon dioxide as the main greenhouse gas produced through human activities that lead to diverse climate change. It is a result of burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. We use fossil fuel to power cars, machines, and generate electricity, and as the human population increases, more fuel is used, leading to higher CO2 emissions.
