6,000 Tons Of Garbage Are Incinerated Every Day For 6 Months And 8 Pictures Show The Destructiveness Of Human Beings
People are always talking about climate change, global warming, and rising sea levels, but the best way to get a more intuitive understanding of the impact of human activities on the planet is through pictures or videos. These impacts are often irreversible and shocking.
Destructive Human Activities
1. Climate change threatens habitat loss for animal populations. Polar bears have been forced to forage for food in garbage dumps in Russia's small near-Arctic countryside, as melting Arctic ice forces them to forage on land. The continuous warming of the world leads to the melting of sea ice, and the shrinking of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, which in turn accelerates the warming of the earth, forming a vicious circle.
2. Climate change also leads to severe droughts, especially in Australia, which puts enormous pressure on the economy and physical strength. Since Australia is an isolated island country, the cost of food imports is high, and the drought problem is very prominent in the country.
3. Not only climate change, but human activities have also caused the problem of environmental pollution. An aerial photo of the Drina River in Bosnia shows that a large amount of plastic waste is dumped in the river. It takes time to remove the waste, and waste incineration will cause harm to the environment and the health of residents, and also waste resources. India also faces the problem of garbage, with a large population, poor garbage disposal, and garbage in poor areas that cannot be treated.
4. Climate change is not only reflected in temperature rise but also leads to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather. Storms, hurricanes, wildfires, etc. often affect human life. The collision of cold and warm air masses has resulted in more and more extreme weather events, and the impact of climate change on the stratosphere has resulted in frequent occurrence of abnormal events.
5. The impact of climate change is not limited to some obvious examples that are common to people, such as polar bears and emperor penguins are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, and animals are threatened by plastic waste. The impact of pollinators could lead to the collapse of ecosystems, with scientists warning that bumblebees could become extinct due to the climate crisis, which would have major impacts on primary industries around the world.
The impact of human activities on the earth cannot be ignored. We must recognize our responsibilities and take active measures to mitigate climate change and environmental pollution. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment and save resources. Only by working together can we protect our common home.
