O SER HUMANO E O MEIO AMBIENTE: UMA CRISE SEM SAÍDA? ¹

MAN AND ENVIRONMENT: A CRISIS WITHOUT ALTERNATIVES?

RESUMO

O presente trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica e opiniões sobre as intervenções do ser humano no meio ambiente e as suas consequências para a humanidade e o ecossistema. Foram abordados aspectos como o problema energético, o efeito estufa, o conteúdo de CO₂, o papel dos oceanos e suas alterações, o ciclo do carbono, bem como princípios para a redução de CO₂, de oxidantes e do ozônio. Também foi enfocada a importância das florestas como redutor do CO₂ e aspectos gerais pertinentes ao uso adequado do meio ambiente.

ABSTRACT

The present work is based on bibliographical review and opinions about man’s consequences for mankind and the ecosystem. The article deals with aspects such as the problem of energy, glass-house effect, the content of CO₂, the role of oceans and their alterations, the carbon cycle as well as the principles for reducing CO₂, oxidants and ozone. It was also highlighted, the importance of forests as a reducing factor of CO₂ and other general aspects related of the proper use of the environment.

Keywords:
environment; pollution; glass-house effect; climate
