Environment Protection Must Be Global

At present scientists in industrially developed countries are working on the theory of interaction of all the atmospheric and oceanic global processes that determine the climate and weather of the world. Increasing growth of

population, industrialization and the use of resources are slowly but surely changing the global climate and water balance. This can be described as a great experiment one that may bring about changes in the environment more serious than ever before.

The essential feature in the environment protection is that many problems can be solved only on the level of world community (сообщество). Therefore the planning of protection against pollution by human society as a whole (в целом) is imperative today and in the near future. It is necessary to develop an international program to study data on land, forest, atmospheric and oceanic resources both renewable and non-renewable. It is the joint efforts of many scientists and special public organizations that can deal with the problem and take necessary measures to protect the environment.
