How can technology actually contribute to environmental problems?
1.How can technology actually contribute to environmental problems?
2.What factors have contributed to why we are producing more greenhouse gases that affect the environment?
3.What happens to animals like polar bears, trees, or buildings when the earth gets hotter due to the environmental crisis?
1) Some modern technologies allow us to filter out carbon dioxide from fossil fuels which are burned. Some technologies also allow us to actually scrub the carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases.
2) The massive increase in industry since the industrial revolution and all of the fuels we burn in transportation increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the environment.
3) If the earth heats up, the ice caps will begin to melt which will also affect the people living near the oceans since they will flood.
