markets. Globalization has affected cultures and economies on matters dealing with environmental destruction and availability of the already limited resources. Globalization has had diverse implications for environmental issues such as, pollution, deforestation, water resources climate change, and biodiversity loss. The rampant environmental problems have become the subject of international efforts because the effects are felt globally. The negative impacts of globalization focus on the destruction on

Therefore, action is required to mitigate the use of fossil fuels and advocate for the use of clean energy and deforestation (NASA). The greenhouse effect threat caused by high levels of carbon dioxide is presently a serious problem that needs global attention. Even though there has been considerable effort to address the issue of increasing carbon emission into the

put into the air killing the ozone layer causing the Earths temperatures to rise in places that are not normal. Humans play a role in rapid speed that global warming is taking place, not all of this is Mother Nature alone. With the increase of deforestation, more factories, chemicals used the list goes on and on of the pullulates we all use on a daily basis. The rapid changes in climate affect the species that live in the area, causing species to die or migrate, intense storms destroying land and

due to human actions or if global warming is due to natural cause there is a big argument over it. Some people believe global warming is due to human actions of pollutants such as burning fossil fuel, coal, and oil, human finger prints, and deforestation; while other people believe it is a natural cause and global warming is just a theory and nothing else.

concentration in the atmosphere has increased approximately 17% in the past 45 years (Campbell, Reece, & Simon, 2007). It is estimated that 20% of the excess carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere can be attributed to the burning of trees after deforestation. The burning of fossil fuel accounts for another 70-80% of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Global temperatures are concurrently on the rise. Carbon dioxide lets radiation through the atmosphere, but retains some of the heat it generates
