German researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology has studied a new factor in global warming which was not previously included in climate change studies. The researchers have discovered that oceans around the world take in more carbon dioxide. When seas take in CO2, they give off a sulphur compound which can block the sun's radiation. Oceans that become more acidic because of fuel-burning emissions can enhance global warming.

As humanity and the rest of the world continue to evolve, environmental threats are also increasing in number. Climate change and global warming are among the issues that should be addressed.

It is difficult to assess the magnitude or intensity of the environmental threats to the security of humanity but it is important to note their significance. These threats can also be avoided if there is a strong exercise of political will.

Global warming and the gradual depletion of the ozone layer are undoubtedly massive threats that need to be addressed immediately because it affects the whole of humanity on a larger scale. An approximation of a quarter and a third of all human fatalities is caused by environmentally caused illnesses and diseases like the pollution of air and water.

Since no single renewable energy source can replace the amount of consumed fossil fuels, there is a need for further research and development in this area if we want a sufficient supply of energy in the coming years.

As the world's population grows, so is the demand for energy. A combination of renewable energy sources can somewhat take the place of fossil fuels in case they do run out. Natural sources of energy like the sun, wind and water should be developed if we want a continuous supply of energy in the coming years.

Meanwhile, the governments around the world were encouraged to establish a common energy program that will address the issue of energy supply. Energy resources should be maximized to strengthen efficiency.
