Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People have different opinions on the main issue of the environment. From my perspective, while the reduction in the population of plants and animals can cause serious problems, global warming should be a more severe issue. On the one hand, the extinction of some
species
of plants and animals will destruct the balance of the ecosystem.
For instance
, if one
species
dies out, the hunter
species
that takes them as the main proportion of
food
resources will suffer from starvation, which causes a huge decrease in their population.
As

a chain effect, there will be another
species
that is
confronted with hunger and causes many deaths. The balance of the ecosystem is vital to human beings because it connects with the
food
supply for us. Without the particular
species
, we may be up against the situation that there is not enough meat and vegetables for meals. The consequence may be boosted.
First
makes a lot of people in less-developed areas facing up to
food
shortage, soon it will affect the whole world since all our
food
supply is based on plants and animals.
On the other hand
, the temperature of the earth is growing(rising) up, which may cause problems not only with
food
supplements but
also
the decrease in places for living. Today, more and more people tend to choose a car as their transportation. The car will release a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is the main cause of global warming.
In addition
, as there are more and more factories, the polluted gas and liquid released into the ocean
also
damage the ocean ecosystem.
As a result
, the sea level will increase because of the melting ice caused by high temperatures, and the sea creature will
also
face serious extinction. The land is disappearing. It is reported that an island country will sink in at most 50 years. To sum up, we certainly need to be concerned about the loss of some
species
. But it is
also
a more severe issue in present days that we are now facing up homeless by global warming.
