Environmental problems of the world
There are so many problems that face the world today. Many of these problems are attributed however to the environment. Environment is defined as the surrounding that has an influence either externally or internally on the organism. An organism therefore can therefore be affected positively or negatively by the environmental situation. Scientists argue that as globalization continues and the local problems are transformed into issues which affect the international world, there are very slim chances that a society will not be affected. Indeed it’s only a few societies that are untouched by the major environmental problems.
One of the main environmental problems that is evident in today’s world is pollution. There are several forms of pollution that occur in the environmental and therefore they pose a very big threat to the existence of the organisms. One form of pollution is air pollution. Air pollution includes all contaminants that are found in the atmosphere and can either be in form of particles or gases. These substances are considered harmful to an organism because they can cause poisoning or even kill. Sources of air pollution can be human based or natural. In today’s world however, human beings have dominated in producing increasing amounts of pollution since they account for the majority of the pollutants that are released into the air.
In addition to the problem of air pollution, another environmental problem facing the world to day is the damping of wastes in the environment. Human beings often damp wastes which is very dangerous and hazardous to the organisms. Due the continued growth of industries the levels of dangerous wastes continue to grow. Many people are not able to prevent the creation of hazardous wastes due to the unawareness of this major environmental problem. Damping of wastes simply starts when n individual throws out goods without realizing that they can be harmful to the environment. The positions of the wastes do not matter but the underlying fact is that the waste will reach the ground at some day and therefore cause harm organism.
Apart from the above problems, the environment today is facing very serious problem in the destruction of the rainforests. As compared to other problems in the environment however, this issue has been in the media attention and public attention.

Idea principal del texto en español
 
El texto trata sobre los problemas ambientales que  tiene nuestro planeta actualmente, las influencias sobre los organismos pueden ser internas o externas, y tambien algunas veces la situacion ambiental puede afectar positiva o negativamente algunos.
los problemas locales de contaminacion tienen consecuencias mundiales y el hombre sigue siendo el mayor responsable de la produccion de grandes cantidades de basuras y diferentes tipos de desechos que  afectan el medio ambiente.
hoy dia la destruccion de la selva es uno de los mayores problemas junto con la contaminacion del aire por parte de la industria y la proliferacion de particulas y residuos contaminantes en el aire, lo peor es que la mayoria de las personas desconece las consecuencias  de estos problemas.

                                      Seeing Trends, Coalition Works to Help a River Adapt






Based on current warming trends, climate scientists anticipate that in the next 100 years the Nisqually River will become shallower and much warmer. Annual snowpack will decline on average by half. The glacier that feeds the river, already shrunken considerably, will continue to recede.
Play the scene forward and picture a natural system run amok as retreating ice loosens rock that will clog the river, worsening flooding in winter, and a decline in snow and ice drastically diminishes the summer runoff that helps keep the river under a salmon-friendly 60 degrees.

A.
An environmental impact assessment is an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects.
The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing environmental impacts when deciding whether to proceed with a project. The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) defines an environmental impact assessment as "the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made."[1] EIAs are unique in that they do not require adherence to a predetermined environmental outcome, but rather they require decision­makers to account for environmental values in their decisions and to justify those decisions in light of detailed environmental studies and public comments on the potential environmental impacts of the proposal

1. la idea principal del parrafo es el estudio de impactos ambientales, los cuales son aplicados a diferentes proyectos o actividades que puedan de manera inmediata o futura afectar el medio ambiente, lo anterior se realiza para tomar desiciones amigables con el medio ambiente.

In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "re-appears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence.
Through evolution, new species arise through the process of speciation—where new varieties of organisms arise and thrive when they are able to find and exploit an ecological niche—and species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superior competition. A typical species becomes extinct within 10 million years of its first appearance,[2] although some species, called living fossils, survive virtually unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Most extinctions have occurred naturally, without human intervention: it is estimated that 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct.[2][3]
Mass extinctions are relatively rare events; however, isolated extinctions are quite common. Only recently have extinctions been recorded and scientists have become alarmed at the high rates of recent extinctions.[4] Most species that become extinct are never scientifically documented. Some scientists estimate that up to half of presently existing species may become extinct by 2100.[5]
