Environmental problems
The poisoning of the world's land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease
of civilization. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes and
floods, but it is potentially one of history's greatest dangers to human life on earth.
If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become
uninhabitable. Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created
such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains
and the global warming that is believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect.
The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste,
chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the
North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is
done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.
Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing
is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become extinct
twenty years from now. Air population is a very serious problem. In Cairo just
breathing the air is life threatening- equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes
a day. The same holds true for Mexico City and 600 cities of the former Soviet
Union. Industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substances. These emissions
have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the
greenhouse effect and acid rains.
An even greater environmental threat are nuclear power stations. We all know
how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
People are beginning to realize that environmental problems are not somebody
else's. They join and support various international organization and green parties.
If governments wake up to what is happening- perhaps we'll be able to avoid the
disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it.
