what is the relation between global warming and environmental degradation?

Answer 1

there is none. they are mutually exclusive

Answer 2

Global Warming means the increase in the average global temperature due to lot many causes, polution being one and the main important causes of it.

Due to warming you might have heared that glaciers are melting, these glaciers are a source of water of all the rivers and if they melt quickly then the rivers will be flooded with water more than they can handel and this will cause flood and soon these rivers will vanish as many have done like saraswati for example.

without water we cannot have good crops, the lush green fields will soon turn deserts also we will have scarcity of drinking water. think about that time when you are walking on the road in hot summer day and you don't have water to drink???
can you survive???? The answer is NO.
No water.
No plants.
No food.
No animals.
result------- No human beings.

This is a long process but a very painful one when it will be from floods, droughts,

Plz all the members I request you all to control yourself as much as you can to lover the polution levels, follow the practice of REFUSE REEUSE & RECYCLE.

Stop poluting our environment and even stop others.

take care of your home (earth)
We live here, and our childrens have to.

Answer 3

Global warming should be obvious
environmental degradation is the destruction of an environment and it may or may not involve heat. Hot climates cooling and vis-versa or even dry climates getting excess rain fall and flooding, because there is a thing as too much water

Answer 4

HUMANS are the link between them.

Your question is far more complex than you realize. The best answer is that the environment will change. There will be areas that will be better or worse than they are now as we perceive it. Ultimately, the environment will change based on latitude and natural resources. Many things will adapt and many will not. Those that adapt will thrive and those that can't adapt will not survive.

Mankind will suffer over time but will likely survive just based on the fact that there are 8 billion of us...Some will make it. The tragedy is that mankind will make the suffering of so many other species that much worse. Many that would have survived naturally will be driven to extinction by mankind...Faster than we have done that in the past.

Answer 5

There is no relationship at all because there are many scientists who do not believe in manmade Global Warming (they say its due to increased solar activity and there is no way to accurately measure CO2 levels in the atmosphere to know if its related and also that H2O is a much more important greenhouse case in warming and you cannot get rid of H2O)

Answer 6

global warming is the result of environmental degradation

Answer 7

Read the Book, "An Inconvenient Truth", written
by Al Gore.

This book will tell you all about Global Warming, and
it's consequences.

Answer 8

what's environmental degredation? All issues replace, yet i does no longer inevitably call it degredation. over the previous cooling era, heading in direction of the final ice age, each and every thing replaced into freezing up and Canada and maximum Of us of a replaced into coated by technique of glaciers. How do you like that for Environmental Degredation??? we've warming cycles and we've cooling cycles, and our surroundings ameliorations to mirror the situations of the time. What I see as replace, you call Degredation. worldwide warming is real, and is a cycle, ecosystem will replace with the aid of fact of it, while the cooling cycle comes back, our surroundings will replace with the aid of fact of it.

Answer 9

Global warming and Environmental degradation are two sides of one coin. Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.
Global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations," which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes have probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950, but a small cooling effect since 1950. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is the only scientific society that rejects these conclusions, and a few individual scientists also disagree with parts of them.
Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100. The range of values reflects the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions and results of models with differences in climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a millennium even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. This reflects the large heat capacity of the oceans.
An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including sea level rise, and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation resulting in floods and drought. There may also be changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, though it is difficult to connect specific events to global warming. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.
Remaining scientific uncertainties include the exact degree of climate change expected in the future, and how changes will vary from region to region around the globe. There is ongoing political and public debate regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at combating greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental degradation is related to the deterioration of the environment both in terms of quantity and extinction of some wildlife species and quality like air, water or land pollution.
Environmental degradation is one of the ten threats officially cautioned by the High Level Threat Panel of the United Nations. WRI (the World Resources Institute), UNEP (the United Nations Environment Programme), UNDP (the United Nations Development Programme) and the World Bank have made public an important report on health and the environment worldwide on May 1, 1998.
Environmental Change and Human Health, a special section of World Resources 1998-99 in this report describes how preventable illnesses and premature deaths are still occurring in very large numbers. If vast improvements are made in human health, millions of people will be living longer, healthier lives than ever before. In these poorest regions of the world an estimated one in five children will not live to see their fifth birthday, primarily because of environment-related diseases. Eleven million children die worldwide annually, equal to the combined populations of Norway and Switzerland, and mostly due to malaria, acute respiratory infections or diarrhoea--illnesses that are largely preventable.

Answer 10

The environmentalist chose the green house gas that they say is causing the problem. CO2 is not the problem as GOD put plants here to recycle the CO2 into O2.
Methane which they chose also is not there and how did they measure it. Methane is very light and would possible to 50 miles up,how did they measure that. But the methane is not up there as it is very explosive .

Answer 11

the so called fear being expressed for global warming by enviornmentalist is about the emission of industrial smoke which pollutes the air. but enviornmental degration consists other pollution on surface level also, like plastic, discharge of industrial waste etc etc.
