... the increased atmospheric carbon dioxide has its benefits such as enhancing plant growth, it does have detrimental environmental effects. Carbon dioxide, being a greenhouse gas, is the main ingredient of the global warming problem; it accounts for about 55 % of the change in the intensity of the Earth's greenhouse effect. The increased concentration of greenhouse gases would mean that greater amount of infrared ... radiation being trapped in the atmosphere, and thus causing additional heat energy to be added to the Earth's atmospheric system. Global warming is likely to lead to greater ...

... is more profound than merely destruction of beautiful areas. If the current rate of deforestation continues, the world's rain forests will vanish within 100 years-causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet. Why do we deforest? People deforest because timber and wood is a necessity to humans. We ... Clusters Environmental Problems of Deforestation: Deforestation is the major problem at hand but other problems are related as well, including global warming, reduction in bio- diversity and species loss.

The second thing to consider is the disposal of waste, since nuclear power doesn't pollute the air adding to global warming, it gives off radioactive waste. This waste can be placed in old salt mines, above ground mausoleums, or deep ocean trenches. The most likely of these three will be abandoned ... ...
