Answer:

Acid rain, Air pollution (which affect the climate an greenhouse gases), overuse of pesticides,  water pollution, waste treatment and sludge, desertification.

Explanation:

      With the advance of urban areas, livestock activities and forest fires, the fauna and flora were modified. This has wiped out the continent's animal species, such as the lynx and the European bison.

     Desertification is a serious problem in Europe, caused by fires and human action. It results in poor soil fertility, land degradation and large areas of deforestation.

      Acid rain is the emission of polluting gases caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels, which come into contact with substances present in the atmosphere and form acid solutions that fall with the rain and cause many problems such as the death of plankton and fish in lakes and the erosion of outdoor exposed statues.

      Climate change is a problem that Europe is currently facing, research indicates the increase in the greenhouse effect, which is mainly due to the large increase in CO2 emissions. And this increase is a consequence of industrialization, of burning in the forests (accidental fires or due to agricultural practices).

      Rising sea levels, soil degradation and declining biodiversity are some of the consequences of these climate changes and one of the biggest environmental problems facing Europe today.

1. Most of the rapid population growth being seen today is occurring in developing countries, rather than in developed parts of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

It's best to have most of the growth happen in developed countries. This for several reasons:

  • Developed countries as a whole have less population, so a population increase in these countries represents less people in absolute numbers.
  • Developed countries can invest in green energy more easily. For example, in Germany, 27 percent of energy comes from renewable sources, and in Norway, an oil-exporting country nonetheless, around 30% of cars are electric. They can do this because they are wealthier, and investing in renewable energy can be expensive.
  • Developed countries are not likely to grow at high rates anyway. Developed countries are aging fast, their population pyramids are bulky in the middle, and every year, less women are available for giving birth. Developed countries will not grow at high rates in the coming decades unless the receive massive immigration.
