Global Warming

Physical Science Journal: Relating the Articles

The articles used in this Physical Science Journal have focused on the effects of agriculture and manufacturing on the Earth and its inhabitants. These industries have advanced at such a rapid rate that the effects of such advancement were not addressed. The amount of waste product and run off currently facing the environment has resulted in why animal, plant and even rock itself are being destroyed or mutated. The polar bears of the arctic and the children of the United Kingdom are not isolated incidents, but rather an indication of a string of such health problems around the world. When the pesticides were originally manufactured, the long-term damage to the environment was overlooked. Fortunately the types of pesticides that harms the polar bears were outlawed after they were found harmful. Unfortunately, there are still many environmentally harmful pesticides and manufacturing waste products produced everyday.

Global Warming and the amount of nitrogen deposits in the Rockies are other examples of humans advancing faster than the planet can adapt to our changes. It has been decided among most of the world that something must be done to reduce the amount of harmful emissions in the world. However, like all things, the decision on what needs to be done comes down to money. In the long run it may be cheaper to run low emission smokestacks and automobiles, but not until the technology is developed and has been implemented into society for a number of years. Basically, we will continue to utilize the machines and processing technology we have because a clean environment for our grandchildren is not worth the finances we would have to spend in restructuring the world's economic systems. Fossil fuel consumption is the major cause of most of the harmful consequences to people and the land, but they are also the major source of the world's economy.
