with increased global demand in oil and gas, undiscovered areas of the world should be opened up to access more resources. to what extent do you agree.

There is a current upsurge in the demand for petroleum products. it has been suggested that unexplored regions of the earth should be mined for crude oil so to increase the level of mineral available for public use but

this

I disagree with because the use of fossil fuel causes environmental pollutions as well as, destabilizes the world ecosystem.

To begin

with, most modern engines are powered by petrol which produces some harmful gases called greenhouse gas

such

as; Methane, Co2 and Sulphur dioxide. unfortunately,

gases trap heat from the sun rays

therefore

making the atmosphere warmer, in a phenomenon called global warming.

This

is one of the major challenges faced by human race

although

measures are being taken to control the damages

however

this

is not enough and the world continues to suffer. Melting of the polar ice,

, have caused increased in water level hense seashore communities are homeless.

Additionally

, if natural surviving areas of the globe is tempered with,

would lead to

further

loss of the remaining ecosystem because it would increase the number of endangered species.

Moreover

, more roads will be created to access

remote areas

thus

forcing animals out of their habitat and unfortunately, most of them might not survive alone.

this

is the basic reason for extinction but it is quite unfortunate that every effort made to clone the extinct breeds has proved to be counter-productive so it is obvious that we are facing the ripple effect of our action already, why create more problem?  the poor quality of soil seen all over the globe 

for instance

is evidence of a limited number of earthworm in the soil since most of them have been destroyed by bush burning. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the notion that more areas should be opened in other to tap more resources due to the negative effects

such

as; pollutions and destroying natural colonies of species which is feared that it would one day make the world inhabitable for the human race, rather an alternative source of energy should be explored.
