Resources and Development, Class 10 Geography
It is true that environmental degradation does not respect national or state boundaries. To put it another way, we could say that natural damage is not limited to one state or country. It affects people all over the world.
The rise in temperature is caused by the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. It has an effect on every part of the world, whether a country is rich or poor. The loss of ozone in the Antarctic is caused by the addition of chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere. Anywhere in the world could be the cause of a CFC, but it is a major problem that everyone should be worried about. Water pollution changed the amount of water that was available all over the world. Air pollution has caused lung diseases in people all over the world because dangerous gases have thrown off the balance of the atmosphere's chemicals.
