The five major impacts humans have on the environment include deforestation, global warming, overharvesting, pollution, and agriculture. These have contributed to vast species extinctions, incremental and continuous rises in the sea level, and record setting hot temperatures in the earth's greenhouse ...
On the other hand,there are some drawbacks,too.Firstly,the most important disadvantage is the unknown effects on health in case of over-use.Scientists found that mobile phones can cause brain cancer.if you talk for so many hours,you are going to have headacheand ear problems.Secondly,the mob...
Many viral diseases (like COVID-19 and Ebola) come from animals living in tropical forests. Astropical forests are destroyed, the animals that carry these diseases come into closer and closer contact with humans, giving the pathogens prime opportunities to evolve and make the jump to other speci...

have often been overlooked. Some studies have quantified the environmental impacts of DACCS and BECCS, but their results are hard to interpret from an absolute sustainability viewpoint15,16,17,18,19. Only recently, the impacts of BECCS were assessed against the Earth’s biophysical limits20,21,...
Humans are regularly cited as the main driver of current biodiversity extinction, but the impact of historic volcanic activity is often overlooked. Pre-human evidence of wildlife abundance and diversity are essential for disentangling anthropogenic impacts from natural events. Réunion Island, with its ...

around innovation needs and rapid technological change, termination of NETs at the end of the twenty-first century or the impacts of climate change on the effectiveness of NETs that have not been widely appreciated. Future research needs to explore the role of climate damages on NET uptake, ...
For more than a century, the world's oceans have been becoming steadily more acidic as they soak up ever-increasing amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the impacts can be fatal for invertebrates such as shellfish, plankton, and corals that rely on dissolved minerals to build ...
This could have widespread implications for plants and other vegetation which, in turn, may impact on the wider entire ecosystem. That's because organisms in soil are highly diverse and are responsible not only for producing the soil we need to grow crops, but also provide humans with many ot...
