Its level has risen by a third since the industrial revolution started in the 1760s. As CO2 has built up, so temperature has risen. The main culprits behind increasing CO2 levels are burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The US alone pumps out a quarter of the world’s CO2 emission.Global Pollution TrendsIf the number of cars keeps increasing at the present rate, there will be more than a billion on the road by 2025. Today, motor vehicles put out 900 million tons of carbon dioxide a year—about 15 percent of our total output. More vehicles will mean more global warming. Also by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s people will live in cities, so traffic jams and pollution will loom large in most people’s lives.Global Population TrendsNever has the pressure on the world’s r esources been so great. Over the next 20 years, the global population is expected to grow by a quarter –that’s an extra 1.5 billion mounts to feed. Water is also under pressure as never before. Today, some 500 million people do not have enough water. By 2025, that number is expected to hit 2.5 billion.Awareness MagazineAwareness Magazine is a bimonthly magazine, which came into being in 1993, and claims to devote itself to making our planet a better place to live in.Summary:In an interview for Awareness Magazine, four specialists discuss their views on environmental issues with Dr. Mckinley.
