In the midst of climate change, technology is playing a massively rapid role. Our society has been impacted both positively and negatively by technological advancements.
We will now briefly examine how technology's influence harms the society in which we live:
As a result of technological advancement, the industrial revolution and increased transportation have taken place. Due to a large number of vehicles and industries operating on a daily basis, emissions of toxins and heat energy have greatly increased. As a result of heat energy emission into the atmosphere, global warming is causing climate change. The world's leaders have addressed this issue at the UN assembly now that it has become a hot topic.
The globalization and industrialization of the world are causing deforestation. For their raw materials, more than 50% of industries promote deforestation. Deforestation disrupts the ecosystem, causing unpredictable weather patterns. Farmers are suffering losses due to climate change, which is fanning hunger among the poor.
A forest fire in Australia in 2019 that killed millions of animals and destroyed homes and lands is the result of climate change. A climate change caused by excessive use of hazardous technology may lead to an increase in the frequency of such forest fires in the future.
