Report about Environmental Issues

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to inform people about environmental problems in Argentina. In my opinio, there are two main problems: the creek, it is a river set in Buenos Aires wich is the most polluted and the Global Warming. We will analize these problems in this report.

What the porblem is and the effect it is having

The Creek is a stream 64 km east of Argentina, which rises in the province of Buenos Aires and ends at the Rio de la Plata. The Creek is located at the northeast of the Province of Buenos Aires. It is approximately 60 km long and it has an average width of 35 m, covering an area of ​​2200 km 2 to the mouth of the Rio de la Plata.

Meanwhile the concept of global warming can refer to two issues: first, it is a phenomenon observed in the average temperature in recent decades, rising steadily. On the other hand, is a theory wich says that the temperature will continue to grow in the future because of human action. Global warming is usually associated with climate change but it has always existed and is natural. Today is often called climate change to the change that is produced by human action. Furthermore, global warming is associated to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect works in the following way: the sun's lights go through the atmosphere, bouncing against the ground and should go back again through the atmosphere, but greenhouse gases produce a contamination layer which prevents re-rays out, producing a temperature increase in the earth.
The long-term dangers
Creek:

• It threats the quality of life and health of people wich live near the river.

• High levels of pollution.

• Daily flooding.

Global Warming in Argentina:

• Huge temperature increases. 
• 16.119 species will be in danger of extinction
• Extreme floods

What is being done

Residents of the zone a couple of years ago demanded the State and all the factories wich had contaminated the river. Now factories are working to fix this pollutes river. The problem went on television in CQC and it was made public.

Argentina signed the Kyoto Protocol, the main current global agreement in wich every country wich signed it agrees in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

What needs to be done

In both issues I think goverments should take a great role, if there is someone who con avoid this, the goverment is that person.

For the Global Warming there is a need to reduce pollutant emissions to prevent further heating in an increase. If not reversed the trend, the glaciers could melt, raising the water level in the oceans, flooding many cities and hudnred of problems alike.
