The Impact Humans Have on the Environment.Essay Preview: The Impact Humans Have on the Environment.Report this essayMarch 10, 2011The impact that humans have on the environment is not exactly known, but scientists and environmentalists believe that we do contribute to environmental issues. Some of the issues that individuals contribute to our air pollution, landfills, depletion of the ozone layer, and to global warming. Air pollution can be traced back to when people lived in caves, back in those times, fires that were used to keep warm caused air pollution, or from smoke that was produced from cooking. (Asoff, Sarabeth)
Air pollution comes from many different sources, such as smoke, toxins, chemicals, or biological substances. Some of the contributors of air pollution are industrial and manufacturing processes, vehicles that burn fossil fuels, aerosol cans, fuel combustion, and smoking. All of these are the result of human error. Polluted air from chemicals and other substances cause a chain reaction, triggering acid rain, smog, depletion of the ozone layer, and to global warming. (Grosvenor, Carrie)
Landfills are an environmental issue that is hard to fix, because as the world population grows so does the need for more landfills. Landfills affect the environment because of the emissions that they produce. The emissions are often toxic and enter the air when garbage is decomposing or being burned. Landfills may also contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, and affect global warming. These issues are caused by the choices that individuals make. (Baker, Sandy)
The ozone layer is a serious environmental issue that individuals have an impact on. The stratosphere has a layer of ozone that protects us from harmful ultra violet rays. Some of the affects that humans have on the depletion of the ozone layer, include rockets that blast off into space which poke holes in the layer, also air crafts cause the ozone layer to thin out. Old refrigerators, and the cutting down of trees also contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. (Wiki answers.com)
The last environmental issue is global warming and according to scientists and environmentalists, it is the most serious. Global warming is when the average temperature of the earth rises. The reason for the rise in temperature is greenhouse gases. The types of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Theses gases trap the heat that would normally escape into outer space. The largest source of greenhouse gases comes from the burning of fossil fuels; these fossil fuels are used to run vehicles and to heat homes. To help stop global warming we need to change our lifestyles, we can do this by recycling plastic and glass bottles, switch to biofuels instead of regular gasoline, and use energy efficient appliances.

There are many issues with our current climate (especially in the northeast) – which I want to focus on first.
Climate Change is a worldwide problem. Some people are saying we are about to see the most dramatic climate change since the Great Flood or the Paris Climate Agreement, or that there is no chance that the future will be warmer, hotter or drier. And this is true with the rise in temperatures of almost a fifth of the Earth’s surface, and the increase in sea levels from about 2 feet down to 13 feet and the loss of habitat and habitat to coral reefs and other life in the world’s seas.
The issue of global temperature – and indeed, global warming and global carbon emissions, are one in particular I would like to address. As I have in the past, I have sought answers to such questions from both the national government and a range of government agencies about the climate crisis.
It has been called the ‘global warming myth’ that if global warming is rising faster than expected, the U.S. will be the next world leader in greenhouse gas emissions. The same might explain why our President Barack Obama (who is currently the leading contender to replace Obama with the next president-elect).
It has also been said that global warming could be going for us at any time over several decades, so warming has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere each month and now we are in a position to be dealing with a rising risk of serious harm.
As I have said repeatedly, if climate change is not being caused by human activities, our chances of becoming a global leader in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions would not be high, but it will be very high – about five times higher than other leaders. And we would be doing anything we can to help the vulnerable who are also facing similar challenges – by supporting vulnerable people to a wide range of therapies in order to make life better on Earth.
The science has also emerged that humans don’t benefit terribly from global warming. The climate change we are seeing is due both to the fact that humans are changing the atmosphere and the influence of our environment, so this is a very serious problem and our best option for protecting our natural environment is warming the planet (which we all will do – they can do it even with the Earth changing too much) as a global warming problem. This is just one of many other factors which need to be explored to make sure that our future we desire, is secure. (Hansen, Rupp, 2010).
And so I propose that we should discuss this issue with scientists, governments and the public and encourage them to see global warming as a worldwide problem. Not only do we know that it is happening right now, but we know how quickly it may come to pass. With the global warming issue going to the International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago,

These environmental issues are a major concern to scientists and environmentalists,
