1) Rapid Climate Change
Describe: There is significant evidence that the world's climate is changing rapidly with more extreme colds in the winter and extreme heat in the summer. This is causing astronomical changes for the sea level and can threaten our species eventually.
Solution: A reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases can help preserve our ozone layer as much as possible to help stop the melting of the polar ice caps. Unfortunately, a big problem with pollution is methane from cows and may be something that cannot be stopped due to the world's reliance on the animals.
2) Global Water Crisis
Describe: Over the last 50 years the human population has almost tripled. Industrial pollution, unsustainable agriculture and poor civic planning have decreased the overall water supply.
Solution: Make agriculture more sustainable and improve our systems to convert reclaimed water into drinking water. Also expand our research into converting salt water into fresh drinking water.
3) Species Extinction
Describe: Many species of animals are going extinct due to poaching, environmental destruction, and climate change.
Solution: Construct more preservation and national parks in which endangered species are protected. Also crack down on poaching with anti-poaching services employed by the government. Also enact laws to help prevent and eventually stop environmental destruction for industrial use.
4) Economic Collapse:
Describe: The global economy is extremely unstable and with conflict in the Middle East it is prone to collapse.
Solution: Stabilize the economies in the world that need help to help the global economy sustain itself and grow.
5) The Increasing Global Population
Describe: Eventually the population is going to get so high where living area might become scarce and conflict may arise.
Solution: Although there is no permanent solution once the population gets high enough but to develop more land to be 'livable' and organize cities more efficiently.
6) International Terrorism
Describe: Many nations throughout the world have faced this terrible phenomenon. ISIS among other organizations have claimed attacks that have taken thousands of innocent lives.
Solution: Enlist more anti-terrorism forces and attack the organizations at their homes to break them apart and stop the terror.
7) World Poverty
Describe: Much of the world is poor and has a lack of both sustainable living and a consistent food supply. This issue is widespread and worse in some countries more than others.
Solution: Provide international help to provide food and services to improve the areas. Also have companies to provide more job opportunities.
8) Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
Describe: Many world powers believe that the vast amount of nuclear weapons may cause great harm to the world at some point.
Solution: This has already begun as nations such as the USA and Russia have agreed to start the disarmament of the vast amount of weapons they have.
9) Severe Income Disparity
Describe: There is a vast polarization of incomes in emerging and devloping countries. Established countries have this issue as well.
Solution: I cannot think of a pertinent solution. My best guess would be to try to employ more people and decrease the wage gap.
10) Great Incidence of Extreme Weather Events
Describe: Due to the world's vast changing climates there has been a greater incidence of tornadoes, mud slides, wildfires, etc.
Solution: Stop pollution on a global scale and turn to more renewable energy that does not give off bad pollution.

All of these were wonderful, I know I've seen several of them mentioned in other blogs as well. I only had one question, on #4, Economic Collapse you stated "The global economy is extremely stable", did you mean to say Not stable?

ReplyDeleteWhat’s up Austin, after reading your list of problems I noticed that we shared similar problems. Species extinction is one of the problems I talked about in my blog. We definitely need to crack down on people poaching and over hunting animals to prevent the extinction of certain species. Each species has a certain role in its environment and if it becomes extinct this could have a huge impact on other animals. Another problem we both talked about is global pollution. This is actually the number 1 issue I put as my top 5 biggest world problems. If pollution continues we will continue to face health and environmental issues.
