Have you ever wondered what the world would be like in the future? Will the world be drenched in blood and war, or will the world be enveloped with peace? I sometimes wonder how the world would end, or if it will ever come to an end. What if suddenly the world was encountered with a series of natural disasters? Diseases would not only be contained in one region but spread all over the world. People have to endure droughts that does not only occur in arid, dry regions, but also in the areas of tropical, fertile lands. Countless tsunamis would devastate coastal regions. With the increasing sea level, humans begin to lose the resources to survive on land. The previous incident would also explain the recurring flooding around the world. But how would these natural disasters come about? Currently, Earth is suffering through the problems of global warming. Global warming promotes more storms, floods and droughts. Possibly, the hurricanes and tsunamis will become potentially stronger than they were ever before. Heat waves that will appear as a result of global warming will assist in the melting of ice. Ice, especially around the poles of the Earth, will melt and pose a danger to the wildlife. Greenhouse gases also pose a threat to the environment of our world. The average temperature of the Earth will fluctuate, and it will become difficult for weathermen to predict the weather for the following days. With an increasing level of heat, the surrounding water will expand and results with an increasing sea level. In addition, with the increasing amount of melting glaciers, the sea level of the Earth will expand at a more rapid rate. Not only will these natural phenomena affect the environment, but also the human beings and... ... middle of paper ... ...s should work on developing and advancing in technology to repair the diminishing ozone layer. Humans should also end wars and conflicts, that damage and deplete the natural resources found throughout the lands. Doctors should also confine the disease in isolated areas to carry out experiments, where they can find cures for the illnesses. By being more careful of your actions, the humans can prevent this disastrous event from ever happening. Bibliography “Types of Drought Impacts”. How Does Drought Affect Our Lives.

    Many works of literature describe the end of the world as the end to humanity from a natural disaster such as an earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption. Some go as far as deadly viruses eliminating the human race. In the short stories, There Will Come Soft Rains, by Ray Bradbury, and Chippoke Na Gomi, by Misha Nogha, both authors predict the end of the world due to human conflicts and destruction. Bradbury and Nogha both focused on the aftermath of a nuclear bomb. In both stories, There Will Come Soft Rains and Chippoke Na Gomi, human-developed technology intending to make life better can have the opposite effect thereby creating the destruction of humanity.

    Global warming is a problem that is often overlooked by many and is hindered among other problems that require immediate actions. Over the last 136 years the temperature in earth has increased 1.7°¬¬¬F. Although an increase of 1.7°¬¬¬F over 136 years may not seem like a lot but humans are destroying the earth at a faster rate than ever before. Human omissions are roughly equal to 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding across the planet every second leaving future generations of human in jeopardy. With warmer climate comes with catastrophic outcomes like drought, which can destabilize the food sources on earth leaving millions of people hungry. Widespread extinction of most species on earth and the melting of polar ice caps can raise the sea level leaving most of the world’s coastal cities under water. This cannot happen overnight but if humans keep omitting at the current rate the outcome of climate change will become prominent

  • Analysis Of The Uninhabitable Earth, By David Wallace-Wells

    Climate change will ruin the world as people know it and if people do not do something now, everyone will die. At least, this is David Wallace-Wells assertion in his article The Uninhabitable Earth in New York magazine. Wallace-Wells establishes the issue of climate change in a new way where if people do not start taking scientists’ warnings about it seriously, then all living things will die. Wallace-Wells’ robust and frightening images of the the effects of climate change, appeals to his audience’s sense of fear and worry about the planet, and utilization of staggering statistics about climate change all assist in his idea that the rising temperatures will cause dramatic and devastating consequences to life on earth.

  • The Little Ice Age Summary

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the sun heats the Earth gases are released as well as water vapor. They go into the atmosphere and regulate the temperature. This is known as global warming or the greenhouse effect. Many of the environmental complications derive from the political and social involvement. The climate was not the only cause, but we had humans played a role on what had been occurring to the world. Earth has many different atmospheric layers that are influenced by the greenhouse gases. “Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have now increased nearly 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; methane levels have more than doubled; and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by about 15 percent” (Fagan 209). The increase of these gases also enhanced the trapping of the heat. With more heat being trapped this lead to many coastlines to flood due to the melting of snow and ice. The increase of dangerous weather actions will pose as a threat also. These changes in the environment would eventually lead to political and social change of the people Overpopulation in certain areas and industry formation influence the greenhouse effect. We as a whole are destroying the place we live, the natural world. Although there are ways to prevent and reduce global warming, we cannot stop the natural occurrence of future climate. Climate is not the only factor, each individual that as

    With every passing year, human beings are emitting more and greenhouse gases than the previous year. The world right now is at a stage where there is no time to look back and wait for things to happen on its own. We should try everything possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so that enough opportunities are made available for future generation and there is scope for sustainable development by proper utilization and not by exploitation. The poorest of all should have hope for a better future.

    In conclusion, evidence has pointed out that weather patterns, and climate conditions are shifting at a rapid rate that has never happened before. As the environment worsens, drastic measures must be taken to prevent it before the earth’s ecosystem will be permanently altered to a vast and hazardous environment that is inhabitable. Interaction between human activity and natural environment is inevitable, as it has always been in harmony until recent years. Regulations must be set to ensure that one party does not overpower and destroy the other.

    Climate change is an inevitable phenomenon that is being experienced globally in various forms, such as temperature rise. Sea level rise, droughts, floods, hurricanes, landslides, etc. According to the fourth assessment report of the IPCC project, even with immediate implementation of mitigation strategies, global climate change will continue for decades. Climate change is inflicting serious consequences on human wellbeing and will continue to inflict damage in the future. It is estimated that global temperature will rise by 1.8 oC - 4.0 oC by the end of the 21st century (Izaurraade, 2009).

  • The Effects of Global Warming

    671 Words  | 2 Pages

    Of all the effects of global warming, the extreme weather that is taking place all over the world is the most obvious one. Global warming will bring more heat waves, drought, fiercer wildfires and stronger hurricanes. “This intensification of weather and climate extremes will be the most visible impact of global warming in our everyday lives” (75 yrs NWF). Due to rising temperatures, places everywhere will be affected as we get more extremely hot summer days and lesser winters. In addition, as these rising temperatures shifts the cycle of rain and increases evaporation, there will be longer and drier droughts which in turn can lower the water supply for life everywhere. Wildfires can turn out to be even more catastrophic due to warmer temperatures and drier areas combined with accumulated levels of fuel loads in the forest which has built up as a result of decades of fire suppression activities. Moreover, stronger hurricanes are also an effect of global warming as sea levels are rising and heavier rains are falling near the coasts. Overall, global warming is bringing climates that are changing real fast.

Environmental issues must become one of the controversial matters in the society in order to make people know the truth what the world currently facing. There were a lot of environmental disaster happened such as climate change, global warming, various of pollutions, earthquake and etc. the rise of environmental issues begin with this urban development occur through several countries following with the technologies equip along. For sure, development will cause a huge negative impact to the environment if it deals without a care. Besides, the environment is the place in the ecosystem to hold and use in finding resources to continuously survive in this world. Thus, the finding and digging for the resources which happening extensively without preservation will not restore the surrounding similar with before.

  • Disaster Management

    The increase in unpredictable natural disasters events for a decade has led to put the disaster preparedness as a central issue in disaster management. Disaster preparedness reduces the risk of loss lives and injuries and increases a capacity for coping when hazard occurs. Considering the value of the preparatory behavior, governments, local, national and international institutions and non-government organizations made some efforts in promoting disaster preparedness. However, although a number of resources have been expended in an effort to promote behavioural preparedness, a common finding in research on natural disaster is that people fail to take preparation for such disaster events (Paton, 2005; Shaw 2004; Spittal, et.al, 2005; Tierney, 1993; Kenny, 2009; Kapucu, 2008; Coppola and Maloney, 2009). For example, the fact that nearly 91% of Americans live in a moderate to high risk of natural disasters, only 16% take a preparation for natural disaster (Ripley, 2006).
