Our planet is undergoing significant changes due to emissions of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from overuse of fossil fuels. The affected countries are the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, China and Germany.
Almost 25% of the population lives in an industrialized country, spending 80% of world energy. Every day the world population will increase which will generate more energy costs damage the planet. In addition to the great expense of energy release generates more carbon dioxide (CO2), which damages and damage the ozone layer that protects Earth from ultraviolet radiation. The severe depletion of the ozone layer will cause the increasing incidence of melanoma or skin cancer, eye cataracts, immune system dysfunction in humans and other species, due to pesticides; this will also affect sensitive crops ultraviolet radiation.
Global warming is associated with climate change can have both anthropogenic and natural causes. The main effect that causes global warming is the greenhouse effect, a phenomenon referred to absorption by certain atmospheric gases (mainly CO2).
Global warming caused by CO2 radioactive forcing is expected as a result the cooling of the stratosphere.
We also have to take care of water, a vital resource for our lives and the planet, with a deficiency of water cost us survive.
