Advancement in technology and industrial growth and environment
Explanation:
- This article examines the paradoxical idea that, while technology's impact on the environment has been mostly bad, the concept of environmental technology holds the potential to save our world from the damage that has already been done.
- This viewpoint is shared by WWF 1, which claims that while technology is a solution enabler, it is also a contributor to the problem.
- The term "technology" refers to the actual application of scientific knowledge, as well as the apparatus and technologies that follow.
- We are currently living in a moment of fast transition, in which technology advancements are revolutionising our way of life while also propelling us farther into the abyss.
- The industrial revolution ushered forth a slew of new technologies with enormous potential. Between between 1760 and 1840, Europe and the United States underwent a transition to new manufacturing processes.
- This has been followed by continued industrialisation and technical breakthroughs in industrialised countries around the world, with the environmental consequence of this technology including the exploitation and destruction of our natural environment.
- These technologies have harmed our world in two ways: pollution and natural resource depletion.
- When dangerous or excessive amounts of gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitric oxide, and methane are injected into the earth's atmosphere, it is known as air pollution.
- The main sources all deal with technology that came after the industrial revolution, such as fossil fuel combustion, factories, power plants, mass agriculture, and automobiles.
- Air pollution has detrimental health effects on humans and animals, as well as contributing to global warming, as rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap thermal energy in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the global temperature to rise.
