Industrialization (growth of industry) is huge in Southeast Asia
People move to the cities because of push-pull factors
Push factors push people out of their homeland & pull factors pull them to a new place

Industry can also damage the environment with air pollution & water pollution
Cities need to promote their industrial growth but find ways to deal with the overpopulation & environmental damage

9. Case Study Global Environmental Change
Objective: Identify future effects of environmental change & examine international efforts to take action

10. Damage to the Environment
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is a greenhouse gas that traps the suns heat
Scientist fear the atmosphere has too many greenhouse gases & CO2 levels are increasing causing the temperature to rise
Scientist discovered a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica

11. Looking Toward the Future
Some people predict that global warming might change patterns of evaporation & precipitation
We could have violent storms or droughts in certain regions
They also worry that a thinning ozone layer might increase thing like skin cancer, eye damage, & drop damage

12. Taking Action
1992, UN held the Earth Summit to discuss ways to pursue economic development while protecting the environment
Kyoto Protocol, were guidelines for developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
