FACTOR AFFECTING CLIMATE: HUMAN INTERVENTION

HUMAN INTERVENTION

Humans have had a profoundly adverse impact on the environment. Generally, people have not conducted activities such as manufacturing, transport, large-scale fishing, agriculture and waste disposal in moderation. This has led to degradation of land, air and water. While the full range of long-term consequences of human intervention on the environment has yet to be seen, some consequences are already taking effect, such as climate change.
