Human civilization has had a significant impact on our environment. The lesson reflects how geological phenomena enable us to trace the history of mankind. Despite existing for only 12,000 years, humans have caused significant damage to nature. Population growth, resource depletion, carbon emissions, fossil fuels, and global warming have caused climatic and ecological imbalances. The writer emphasises how humans have attempted to dominate nature, with detrimental effects.
Scientists warn that further depletion of the ozone layer will affect the lives of sea animals and birds. It will also impact the global carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels has created a blanket of carbon dioxide around the world, which increases the global average temperature. The melting of icebergs in Antarctica is evidence of this phenomenon.
In summary, humans have created problems for the environment due to their activities. Scientists warn about the consequences of our actions, including the effects on wildlife and the carbon cycle.
