The issues on hand include that I will discuss will include air pollution, ozone depletion, and global warming. ... Global Warming: Global Warming is the process in which radiation from the sun gets trapped in the atmosphere and causes an increase in temperature in the Earth. ... Some solutions that I would do to combat the global warming problem include: 1) I could install solar panels in my house to supply electricity which are more cost productive and environmental friendly unlike fossil fuels which produce carbon dioxide into the air; 2) cut back on electricity usage because they are ma...

Sunlight warms the surface, and then emits energy in the form infrared rays, or heat. ... Now greater amounts of heat are kept in the atmosphere causing the temperature near earth's surface to rise in a phenomenon known as global warming. ... As of 1992, carbon dioxide made a 63.7 percent contribution of the global warming due to greenhouse gases from to human activity. ... Methane, which accounts for 19.2 percent of human caused global warming, is another greenhouse gas that forms naturally in swamps, lakes and marshes. ...

Lastly, if we observe this situation on a global point of view, we will notice how many problems are caused by the lack of ozone in the stratosphere. Problems such as climate change, leading to global warming, future world hunger, resulting in the inability to grow enough crops, pollution, caused by the biogeochemical cycle changes, and much more. ...

Factors Degrading Ozone Layer By the usual definition, stratospheric ozone depletion is not an integral part of the process of "global climate change." ... A decade of denial and debate followed with eventual acceptance by scientists and policy-makers that ozone depletion was likely to occur and would represent a global environmental crisis. ... At first sight, the solution to this particular global environmental change appears to be unusually simple: a substitution of particular industrial and agricultural gases for others. ... Third, scientists did not foresee the interplay between a w...

Ozone exists nearer to the Earth's surface, as well: it shows up in samples of "smog- over heavily populated cities in warmer climates like Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Cairo. ... CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) in particular are a major culprit in global ozone depletion. ... Proceedings for the convention were started in 1981, after reports of frighteningly low ozone levels above Antarctica as well as the decimation of the Rhine valley ecosystem by acid rain sparked global interest in the ecological impact of industrial waste chemicals. ... Conclusion Ozone depletion has become a global...
