Since ancient times, people have been punished for destroying nature.

Punishment 1: the tropical rain forest is burned in a large area, and carbon dioxide warms the earth.

In Rondonia, Brazil, cattle and sheep wander in a barren pasture, which is the scene after many large areas of the Amazon rainforest were destroyed. The Amazon rainforest was artificially burned to rebuild the farm. In the first five years of this century, the area of tropical rain forest burned in Brazil was equivalent to the total land area of England and Wales. Scientists believe that burning the rainforest is equivalent to increasing 17% of greenhouse gas emissions, and it also causes fewer and fewer trees to absorb carbon dioxide, making it the hottest period on earth in recent years.

Punishment 2: the temperature rises, the iceberg melts and the sea level rises.

Last year, in June+10, 5438, an iceberg was separated from the Great Glacier (called Pig Glacier because of its shape like a pig). In the past 20 years, this huge glacier has shrunk to 1/40, which is just a microcosm. There is enough ice in Antarctica. If it melts completely, it can raise the global sea level by 57 meters. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that the temperature will rise due to the greenhouse effect, and by 2 100, the sea level will rise by 20 to 80 cm due to the melting of icebergs.

Punishment 3: the population is growing rapidly, and the garbage mountain "surrounds" mankind.

A girl puts a plate of mangoes on her head and stands on the Olu Sason garbage mountain in Lagos. This is the largest garbage mountain in Africa. Every day, 2,400 metric tons of garbage are collected from Lagos (one of the fastest growing cities in the world) and transported here. In the past 15 years, the population of Lagos has tripled, but the increase in infrastructure cannot keep pace with the population growth. /kloc-more than 0/000 residential areas are surrounded by garbage mountains of all sizes. This situation is found all over the world, and the garbage mountain begins to besiege the beautiful home of mankind.

Penalty 4: Lack of water resources and severe drought.

In New South Wales, a kangaroo fell to death on Richard Walker's farm. In the summer of 2006, Australia experienced a once-in-a-millennium drought. The rainfall in South Australia is the least since 1900, but the temperature is the highest since 1950. Many parts of Australia are experiencing five years of drought, crop failure and livestock death. In Sydney, if a family is found watering the garden, they will be fined $220 (100). Drought still threatens the survival of mankind all over the world. Europe and the United States are experiencing the biggest drought in history. In 2007, China, Asia and the Yangtze River, which were originally rich in water resources, also suffered rare droughts.

Punishment 5: air pollution, sand and dust raging

A man flies a kite in Tiananmen Square, but the sky is gray. For the success of the Olympic Games, the China Municipal Government decided to close several coal-fired power plants, cement plants and chemical plants about one month before the Olympic Games. In addition, before and during the Olympic Games, it is expected that the China government will restrict more than 1 10,000 cars from driving on the streets of the capital. China has set an example for developing countries in energy conservation and emission reduction, but the number of sandstorms in Asia in recent years is the highest in history. Even in Europe and America, there are sandstorms.

Punishment 6: The water pollution is serious and the living conditions are facing challenges.

A fish farmer is cleaning up thousands of dead fish, which is very painful. This is a scene that happened in a place in Hubei, China last July. Hot weather and untreated industrial wastewater killed about 50,000 kilograms of fish. Scientists say that water pollution is becoming more and more serious due to drought, population growth and booming industry. The shortage of water resources has become more serious. Some countries and regions are facing serious water pollution problems while lacking water. This problem is particularly prominent in developing countries such as Asia and Africa. Polluted water resources have become the biggest challenge to living conditions.

Punishment 7: The fragile atmosphere cannot bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the earth.

When a passenger plane was about to land on St. Martin's Island in the Caribbean, it passed by the parasol on the beach. At this time, some vacationers were sitting under umbrellas, but no one noticed the exhaust gas from the plane. Scientists believe that the amount of exhaust gas emitted by a plane in one flight is equivalent to the amount of exhaust gas emitted by a car in one year. Statistics show that the exhaust emissions of various aircraft account for 3.5% of the world. It is predicted that by 2050, this proportion will rise to 15%. However, restrictions on the growth of aircraft exhaust emissions have not been added to the climate change bill. Scientists worry that human fragile atmosphere will be gradually destroyed by aircraft exhaust. If the exhaust emissions from the aviation industry are left unchecked, the fragile atmosphere will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the earth in the next 50 years.

Punishment 8: greenhouse gas emissions are increasing, and the city does not see the blue sky.

Black smoke came out of the tall chimney and soared into the sky, polluting the whole sky. AES Company in Yorkshire, England is a giant in the global power industry, but its factory's exhaust emissions are one of the largest in the world. Data show that coal-fired power plants in developed countries emit 22.8 million tons of carbon dioxide every year, exceeding the total emissions of third world countries. Drax, a subsidiary of AES, is responsible for 7% of Britain's electricity supply, but this company also produces the biggest pollution in Britain. Due to the huge greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries, the environmental pollution in some developed cities has intensified, and some megacities in Europe and America often can't see the blue sky for months or days.
