RSM100Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Exponential Growth, Soil Retrogression And Degradation, Water Cycle
Document Summary
Creating food, clothes, transportation makes the exponential growth of population. The scientists only look at the evidence of global warming. Nature is converted to resources during the industrious stage. Global warming is affecting global water cycle. We are taking too much from the ocean, but pollute too much into the ocean.

To drive and recognize that the nature has the right too. Opportunity cost: economic expansion and growth pollution, damage to the nature. Culture problem is the stem of the problem. People pay more attention to the growth, to the bills, to the shopping and working so that they have less to care about, including the nature, the environment. To create a culture that will interact with the science and technology.
