Answer:

Chemicals that are used for controlling insects and weeds could reduce the soil fertility by "killing the bacteria responsible for soil fertility"

Explanation:

In the soil various beneficial as well as harmful insects and weeds are present. These beneficial microbes helps in increasing the soil fertility and also enhances the organic matter content. These types of soil yields good productivity. But on the other hand certain other organisms are there which are threat to the plants, for killing this we use certain chemicals, which also affects the beneficial organisms. Hence, while using chemicals we should keep in mind these factors so that we won't disturb the soil environment.

Killing the bacteria responsible for soil fertility

Explanation:

Chemicals used in agriculture as pesticides to destroy pests or weeds are the major cause of soil degradation.

Misuse or overuse of these chemicals turns to lethal doses which are toxic to the natural soil content. The lethal doses will destroy the beneficial microorganisms living in the soil.

Beneficial soil microorganisms play a major role in maintaining soil fertility and in the absorption of nutrients by the plants; like, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria that help the plants to absorb atmospheric nitrogen.

Hence the pesticides and other chemicals should target only the pests and weeds and not other organisms and should be used in limited amount.

How is politics related to climate change? How does politics define climate change?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

i love you :)

Explanation:

The complex politics of global warming results from numerous cofactors arising from the global economy's dependence on carbon dioxide (CO2) emitting fossil fuels; and because greenhouse gases such as CO2, methane and N2O (mostly from agriculture) cause global warming.[1]

1. Implications to all aspects of a nation-state's economy: The vast majority of the world economy relies on energy sources or manufacturing techniques that release greenhouse gases at almost every stage of production, transportation, storage, delivery & disposal while a consensus of the world's scientists attribute global warming to the release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. This intimate linkage between global warming and economic vitality implicates almost every aspect of a nation-state's economy.

2. Industrialization of the developing world: As developing nations industrialize their energy needs increase and since conventional energy sources produce CO2, the CO2 emissions of developing countries are beginning to rise at a time when the scientific community, global governance institutions and advocacy groups are telling the world that CO2 emissions should be decreasing.

3. Metric selection (transparency) and perceived responsibility / ability to respond: Among the countries of the world, disagreements exist over which greenhouse gas emission metrics should be used like total emissions per year, per capita emissions per year, CO2 emissions only, deforestation emissions, livestock emissions or even total historical emissions. Historically, the release of CO2 has not been even among all nation-states, and nation-states have challenges with determining who should restrict emissions and at what point of their industrial development they should be subject to such commitments;

4. Vulnerable developing countries and developed country legacy emissions: Some developing nations blame the developed world for having created the global warming crisis because it was the developed countries that emitted most of the CO2 over the twentieth century and vulnerable countries perceive that it should be the developed countries that should pay to fix the problem;

5. Consensus-driven global governance models: The global governance institutions that evolved during the 20th century are all consensus driven deliberative forums where agreement is difficult to achieve and even when agreement is achieved it is almost impossible to enforce;

6. Well organized and funded special-interest lobbying bodies: Special interest lobbying by well organized groups, such as the fossil fuels lobby, distort and amplify aspects of the challenge.
