Human systems such as waste facilities has made a negative impact on natural systems because it destroys the natural habitat of animals and creates greenhouse gases which are depleting the o-zone layer.
And industries and factories also contribute negative factors to society by the air pollution and water pollution. It can cause damage to animals who breathe in the air or swim in the water. Pollution are also creating holes in the atmosphere and will allow ultraviolet rays to come directly on the earth which will cause skin cancers, increase temperatures in weather or even create another Ice Age if it gets to that extreme.
But how will this affect people and animals?
Most of our new climate change is being created or caused by global warming from the depletion of the o-zone layer. Because of this depletion, damage is being caused worldwide. For example, in 2002, the USA had the worst forest fire season ever. In addition to this, floods and hurricanes such as Katrina have caused millions of dollars in damage. Global warming is making hurricanes more stronger and dangerous by heating the ocean and making tropical storms more powerful. Not only the USA has been affected by this. There have been many heat waves in Europe and India which have caused over a thousand deaths. The polar ice cap in Antartica melting, has destroyed the homes for many animals and melts the glaciers and will eventually cause water shortages. Rising sea levels will cause the flooding and maybe even the submerging of seaboard areas like Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and perhaps even Hawaii. And from the warmer sea temperatures, it will cause the hurricanes to be more intense and worse than what we have seen by Katrina. And also from global warming, it may destroy habitats such as coral reefs, and tropical forests, causing many species to go extinct.

Driving is the most commonly cited global warming-causing activity. But now, even if you don't drive, anything you purchase in a store that was shipped via fossil fuel burning vehicle contributes to global warming. You pretty much have to drop out of society to not make an impact on global warming, which is why so many still refute its existence.

Drive, use fossil-fuel based power, use harmful chemicals, buy products from heavy-polluter companies

And lseult, the hole in the ozone has diminished since Clean Air acts were passed, and that's different from global warming anyway.

Global warming is created by greenhouse effect. greenhouse effect is created by some gaz like C02. a lot of this gaz is created by the use of the car and some industrial processes.

One of the main cause is really the car, more specially big 4*4 cars.

Honestly? Nothing. It's not hairspray nor other chemicals that create goles in the ozone; that's just propaganda. There has been a hole in the ozone since before man started creating and polluting. The atmosphere above and beyond was NEVER perfect. No, for the untruths: read everyone else's answers...and look up Al Gore.

Nothing. Most the so-called science of global warming is fraudulent wishful thinking by intelligent idiots who have a preconcieved agenda to make society believe what they want.
