ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION
J.B.B.G.
Economic development,
was hastened by the
Industrial Revolution.
This is the period in human
history that made possible the
cycle of efficiency.
Economic
Development
Means finding the quickest
possible way of producing large
amounts of a particular product.
This process made buying of
goods easier for the people.
Then, there is an increased
demand. Ultimately, there was an
increased efficiency.
Efficiency
This cycle harms the planet in a
number of ways. For instance,
the earth’s atmosphere is
damaged by more carbon
emissions from factories around
the world. Another example is
the destruction of coral reefs
and marine biodiversity as more
and more wastes are thrown into
the ocean.
Effects
on
Planets
Many experts do not think
that the planet can
sustain a growing global
economy. Deforestation,
pollution, and climate
change will not adjust for
us, especially if increases
in living standards lead
people to demand more
consumer goods like cars,
meat, and smartphones.
The
Experts’
Thoughts
He noted that neoliberals and
environmentalists debate
the impact of free trade on the
environment.
Environmentalists argue
that environmental issues should
be given priority over economic
issues (Antonio, 2007).
“ According
To
Harvy ”
It sees globalization
as a process that can
both protect and
enhance the
Environment.
(Yearley, 2007).
Ecological
Modernization
Theory
They aimed at a reduction of
global carbon emissions;
but failed to take off largely
because it was not ratified by the
United States.
(Armitage, 2005).
Kyoto
Protocol
There are significant challenges
involved in implementing various
measures such as “carbon tax” and
“carbon neutrality" to deal with
environmental problems
(Ritzer, 2015).
It is also difficult to
find alternatives to fossil fuels.
Significant
Challenges
The use of ethanol as an alternative to
gasoline has an attendant set of problems-it
is less efficient and it has led to an
escalation in the price of com, which
currently serves as a major source of
ethanol.
Barrionuevo (2007)
Although biofuels themselves produce lower
emissions, their extraction and transport
contribute significantly to total emissions.
Ethanol
as an
Gasoline
Previous experience in dealing
with environmental issues
indicates that a global view of the
problem is required.
A focus on specific regions, such as
Europe, overlooks impacts in other
regions. Instead of dealing with the
causes of global warming, there is
some interest in “technological fixes”
such as geoengineering.
(Dean, 2007).
Dealing with
