MAN – MADE PROBLEMS
According to scientists a significant average increase in
global temperature is most likely catastrophic in distant
future and that slight temperature increase is what we call
GLOBAL WARMING.
CLIMATE CHANGE is the long term shift in weather patterns
in a specific region or globally” which may lead to specific
changes in overall weather patterns, including precipitation,
temperature, cloud cover & so on..
OTHER MAN MADE PROBLEMS:
War and aggression
Graft and corruption
Pollution
Overpopulation
Drug Abuse
Exploitation of poor and marginalized
Abuse against women and children
Human rights violation
Do you believe that humans are killing the
