Increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide levels have risen by 30% in the last 200 years.
2000-about
365 ppm
The IPCC projects that, if
unchecked, atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentrations
will range from 650 to 970 ppm
by 2100.

World’s worst nuclear accident
The Chernobyl nuclear
accident killed more
than 31 people
immediately
More than 120 000 people
from 213 villages and cities
were relocated outside the
contamination zone
Much of the farmland
surrounding the plant was
heavily contaminated with
radioactive nuclides and
was subsequently
abandoned
Dramatic changes in
Huang He Delta, China
Images show the
mouth of the Yellow
River and the
emergence of a huge
parrot-headed
peninsula
• 1979-2000: Huang
He’s yellow color is
the result of huge
loads of sediments
Changes in Huang He Delta, China
• From 1989 to 1995
the Yellow River delta
area grew
• From 1995 to 2000
the Yellow River delta
area shrank

Replacement of mangroves by aquaculture in Thon Buri,
Thailand
• 1973-1978: Area is
caught in the battle
between needs of people
versus the welfare of the
coastal areas
• 2002: Shows extensive
aquaculture ponds (blue
patches inland)
Sundarban: Largest mangrove forest
of the world, India/Bangladesh
Forest degradation has
been occurring in
many parts of
Sundarbans
Shrimp farming is a
