For decades, environmental issues are becoming a major concern globally. While some people believe that the major threat to the
environment
is the loss of specific flora and fauna at the present time, others argue that various parameters are responsible for the rise of environmental problems.
However
, in my opinion, other factors
such
as global warming and
greenhouse
gases are contributing in a large amount to the destruction of the
environment
in comparison to the extinction of a particular type of plants and animals.
First
and foremost, considering those individuals who opine that the loss of particular variety of plants and animals is the main reason for the rise of environmental issues.
In other words
, every species on the earth plays an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
This
will disturb if any species extinct, especially the food chain.
For instance
, cutting of the trees which contributes 70% of the oxygen, has raised the level of CO2 on the earth and destroying the ozone layer.
Thus
, the extinction of some plants and animals are considered responsible for environmental problems.
On the contrary
, including myself, there are some people who think that global warming and emission of
greenhouse
gases are the main contributors towards environmental problems. To make it clear, consider an example of rising public vehicles on the roads, which are increasing the amount of CO2 gas in the air and
also
raising the global temperature.
Furthermore
,
Accept space
,
the health of the indigenous people has
also
become vulnerable due to inhalation of these hazardous gases.
Therefore
, global warming and the
greenhouse
gases are
also
becoming a hurdle for the
environment
. To conclude, there is a decline in the quality of the
environment
as compared to past time.
Although
some persons opine that
this
is happening due to loss of specific species of plants and animals, others do not agree. In my opinion, there are major factors which are destroying the quality of the air, which includes global temperature and
greenhouse
gases.
