This document discusses several global environmental issues including global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, marine pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, desertification, and radiation contamination. It provides statistics on world population growth and increasing global demands for energy and protein. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and CFCs contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. The document advocates for renewable energy solutions like wind and biogas from dairy farms to help address these environmental challenges and create a more sustainable future.

This document summarizes 10 major global environmental issues:
1. Global warming caused by increased greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and CFCs.
2. Ozone layer depletion from CFC emissions.
3. Acid rain from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
4. Marine pollution from oil spills, plastic waste, and sewage.
5. Deforestation of tropical rainforests.
6. Declining biodiversity due to habitat loss.
7. Desertification from climate change and unsustainable land use.
8. Transboundary movement of hazardous organic wastes.
9. Radiation contamination from nuclear accidents and waste.
10. Air pollution harming
