Pollution and Global Warming

By Lee Van Thompson

In the end, we are all affected by pollution, no one person is affected by it. It was already clear that because world climate was warmer, land can also be contaminated on a large scale by damaging irrigation practices. In very day areas, farmland is soaked in water from rivers to grow crops. Because the weather is hot, the water evaporates quickly leaving behind tiny quantities of salt. The government’s in poorer countries worry that the demands to preserve their environment made by the richer industrial countries will prevent economic development in the electricity generating business, burning coal rather than gas produces 30 percent more carbon dioxide to provide the same amount of power it can be hard for people to change, eventhough they may want a clean environment, drivers in the united states buy gas at about a quarter of the price as those in europe. The world’s fi rst nuclear power station opened in britain in 1956. Within 20 years hundreds were being built across the world at the time it was believed that atomic energy would be so cheap it could replace coal and oil as the world’s major energy.

In my home island, Trinidad, rising sea levels has changed the landscape I group with nature, we all most respect nature, man is but a grain of salt in the universe. When your son or daughter ask you twenty years from now, “What did you do to help make the world better?” What will be you answer?

Who Is Affected by Pollution

The climate is different in every part of the earth because climate is affected by how much heat an area gets from the sun and how close it is to a large body of water. However, climate across the world is connected by wind and weather systems. These may originate in one place and have an effect somewhere else. Wind, rain, rivers, and oceans eventually carry pollution to every country. Although it is worse at the
