Ozone or no zone for living: impact of global growth vs. the environment
Introduction
Ozone has three oxygen atoms. It can be said to be an air pollutant when on lower
atmosphere leading to adverse effects on the respiratory systems of human beings and animals
and also destroy sensitive plants by fire. However, the ozone in the upper atmosphere is useful in
that it prevents electromagnetic radiations which are harmful from reaching the earth. The ozone
later becomes a green house gas when it is in the upper troposphere. Concentration of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leads to global warming (O’Hare, 112). This paper will
basically address the potential problems caused by global warming in the contemporary world.
Argument
High population growth has adversely affected the climate due to global warming
(Birdsall, 76). Global warming is brought about by people burning fossil fuels to get power for
their industries. Increased population means high demand for fuels and this fuel when burnt,
carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere and mixes with warm air and form green house gas. The
United States is ranked third in terms of population and the population is expected to rise even
more by 2050. For Canada, environmental analysts have described it as far stable that it is USA
in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. As population increases, the environment is affected in
that the high number of people will compete over the scarce resources.

In addition, Mendelsohn (p.79) states that the high population has led to establishment of
more industries to care for their needs. Due to industrialization, the environment have been
affected much as these industries mostly direct their wastes in rivers and lakes hence
endangering the lives of water animals and also leads to infections among people who consume
water or use it for their domestic purposes. The waste gases from industries also pollute the
environment and this adversely affects the climate. When these gases are emitted to the
atmosphere, they form acid rain which is harmful to plants.
However, some countries use fuel from trees. Due to high populations, trees have been
felled in big numbers and bearing in mind that tress attract rain, there will experience dry spells
due to cutting down of trees (Birdsall, 100) There is a link between climatic change and
depletion of the ozone. Ozone have an impact on climate change because the higher the ozone in
the atmosphere, the more the heat that is retained and vice versa. The high population has led to
increased urbanization as people look for employment in industries in major industrial towns.
This influx of people in urban areas cause global warming due to emission of harmful gases to
the atmosphere in a bid to look for means of survival.
Canadian Environmental Policy states that efforts to lessen greenhouse gases are crucial
in attainment of international goals. The concentration of gases which trap heat in the
atmosphere, emitted through industrialization and high demand for energy has increased the
green house effect that finally leads to change in climate. Climate change affects the lives of
people due to food scarcity, change in disease patterns and high conflicts over the limited
resources. Canadian environmental policy is dedicated to impacting positively on the
environment. The communities in Canada are encouraged to improve their home environment to
attain sustainable development (Mendelsohn, 99).

In conclusion, many countries which are more industrialized and emit more gases in the
atmosphere hence leading to global warming, should address this problem in a more pronounced
manner because this is a global problem seemingly affecting the contemporary world.
