Light pollution
Light pollution is, stated by National Geogrpahic Society, "the excessive or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light". These lights have a lot of problems. If you have seen a picture of earth from space, you might have seen lights that perfectly show the boarders of countries, or that show huge population spikes and big areas with tons of lights. Well, all these lights can result in wildlife being disrupted and human health being affected according to National Geographic Society. And all these lights are affecting the night sky in a way so that we cannot see the stars shining over the night sky like we used to. We see way fewer stars now than before, and the number of stars and other celestial bodies that are visible on earth are only shrinking, expecially within cities and big population centers, also according to National Graphics Society.
Air pollution
Air pollution is a common problem in big places and cities across the world. Air pollution usually forms due to factories and industries that need big facilities, motorized vehicles and forest fires amongst other reasons, according to the United Nations. All these causes for air pollution can happen due to human activities. Beacause of climate change, forest fires occur more frequently, and the growing population and overconsumption lead to more factories being built as well as vehicles like cars, busses, planes and ships that all usually emit greenhouse gases and that uses motors to be driven. Air pollution can have some consequences as well. Air pollution can leads to the global health declining and it affects the planet in negative ways, according to Clean Air Fund.
Sea levels rising
Rising sea levels is becoming a big problem for many people around the world. The sea levels are rising beacause of the global warming, which causes a lot of ice from the poles, icy islands and other places around the world to melt. This isn't just a problem for the animals who live there, as their habitat is disappearing faster than ever and the temperatures there are rising, but also for humans who live on islands and in areas which is not high above sea levels. Many island nations like The Maldives, Tuvalu, Tonga and many other small islands and island nations in the pacific and all over the globe is actually losing lots of their land and being flooded more frequently, as well as it becomes harder for them to grow their own food and crops beacause the water is saltier, are having massive problems.
Natural disasters
Natural disasters are very dangerous for humans and animals, and it can also destroy a lot of infrastructure. Due to climate change, natural disasters will appear more often, and they will become bigger and more dangerous.
