If people travel to Antarctica and cause pollution, who is responsible for the consequences?

The environmental awareness of human beings has gradually increased, but unfortunately it still cannot keep up with the speed of pollution of the earth, and now there is a problem of marine pollution that everyone is worried about. A team of researchers from Kyushu University in Japan recently published the results of a heartbreaking survey in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin.

The content of the report states that microplastics have polluted the Antarctic Sea, which is the farthest away from human life, which also means that it is likely to have spread all over the world, causing serious harm to the planet!

First of all, let's explain to you what is microplastics, in the many garbage floating on the sea, plastic garbage has accounted for a full 70%, when plastic garbage in the wind and sun, it will gradually decompose into fragments, and even some also form a diameter of less than 5 mm of plastic particles, this is what we call microplastics.

And the terrible thing is that these very fine microplastic garbage can easily absorb harmful substances in the environment, and may cause death once eaten by marine organisms, and the toxins in the plastic will eventually go to the human table, forming a vicious toxin accumulation in the food chain, and eventually bringing serious harm to the entire ecosystem.

Generally speaking, plastic waste mainly occurs in densely populated coastal areas, but the team's recent research found that a large number of microplastics appear in two sea areas closer to Antarctica, with an average of 140,000 to 290,000 microplastics per square kilometer of seawater, which is quite high, which is close to the average density of microplastics in the North Pacific Ocean.

Such a large amount of microplastic waste is found in the Antarctic Sea, far from human activity, which means that pollution may have spread all over the planet. Although the current survey is not enough to determine the condition of the entire Antarctic Sea, and the source of the microplastics has not yet been identified, the discovery has caused concern for Atsuhiko Isobe, a professor of marine physics at Kyushu University, to expand the scope of the investigation and find more accurate data.

China has relevant laws and regulations. In addition to complying with the provisions of the Antarctic Treaty, some countries with early development of Antarctic tourism have also formulated special regulations for tourists who carry out Antarctic tourism. Although people have done a lot of preparation work before going to Antarctica for sightseeing tours, and have taken a series of measures to protect the Antarctic environment, such as incinerating feces and bringing garbage bags back to their own countries, the impact of ecological damage caused by Antarctic tourism on the Antarctic region cannot be ignored.

Research data show that people's activities in Antarctica have caused different degrees of pollution of plants and soil in Antarctica, destruction of the normal living environment of wild animals, and frequent invasion of alien species and bacteria, all of which have caused damage to the ecosystem of Antarctica.

In addition, the impact of Antarctic cruise tourism on the Antarctic environment is mainly reflected in the wastewater pollution generated by the cruise ship in the process of traveling to Antarctica, the garbage pollution carried by tourists, and the physical noise pollution. There is not much that tourists can do other than strictly follow the tourist guidelines and minimize the environmental burden such as noise, electricity, and garbage. There are four types of oily water pollution and cruise ballast water pollution.

Cruise ship black water is what we usually call untreated ship sewage, most of which comes from cruise toilet sewage and wastewater.

In the process of Antarctic tourism, the damage caused to the Antarctic environment by inadvertently leaving a little garbage is incalculable. For example, a small piece of plastic waste, which may have slipped off a passenger unintentionally, was blown away by the wind and was not exposed on the ice, or evenIt settles under the ice for a long time, but it is this small piece of plastic waste that may absorb and accumulate heat under the strong Antarctic sun, dissolving the ice surface and gradually sinking naturally. It will also accelerate the melting of ice in a small area, and the garbage left by tourists during Antarctic tourism may cause potential pollution of the Antarctic environment.

Noise and other pollution In the process of Antarctic tourism, the noise pollution generated by cruise ships, airplanes and other means of transportation, the damage to the Antarctic marine ecosystem carried by microorganisms carried in the ballast water of cruise ships, and at the same time, with the frequent occurrence of vehicles, ships and aircraft to Antarctica, the probability of fuel leakage is increasing, which also disturbs the natural habitat of Antarctic wild animals to a certain extent, and even changes the physiological functions of wild animals.

Naturally, people are tourists, and the ecology of Antarctica is already very fragile and has to be destroyed.

Of course, it is human beings themselves, although Antarctica is beautiful, but its ability to resist the outside world is too poor.

In the final analysis, we are responsible for the consequences, and everyone is responsible for protecting the environment.

I think this should be borne by everyone in the world, after all, it is the whole world that suffers.

I think it should be borne by the person who went, and whoever is at fault should bear it.

I think everyone should be held accountable, because everyone in the world is responsible.

I think everyone has a responsibility, after all, everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment

I think this should be the responsibility of the whole world, because the victims are all over the world.

Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment, and the earth is our home.

Answer]: A Since the south magnetic point that attracts the compass is not located on the pole of the south core of the compass due south, except that it is located on the meridian between the south pole and the north pole, so that the south direction of the compass coincides with the north-south direction line without error, there will be an angle between the compass and the vertical line (each meridian) between the north and south where it is located, which is the pointing error. Traveling, this is something that should be considered.

So choose A.

There are two main problems:

1. Problem 1: The ice cover hall thinned and disappeared;

Causes: Climate warming;

Hazards: Rising sea levels and climatic anomalies in various places.

2. Problem 2: Ozone layer hole;

Reason: Human beings use a large number of refrigerants such as frequent, which destroys the oxygen layer of the odorous pin.

Hazards: After the ozone layer is destroyed, a large number of rays from the sun and space can reach the ground and kill the life on the earth. The probability of developing ** cancer in humans has increased.

Rules & Discipline.

With each additional visitor, the human impact on Antarctica's natural environment increases, so in order to protect this pure land, all visitors must comply with certain requirements.

Wildlife in Antarctica is not afraid of people, and penguins can even go within reach, but in Antarctica, the rules of not chasing, not touching, and not feeding wild animals must be strictly followed.

Do not carry stones from Antarctica. Many people have the habit of collecting stones from their own tourist sites as souvenirs, but in Antarctica, please do not do so. Most of the Antarctic continent is covered with snow and ice, and there is not much ground exposed to rocks, especially the gravel, which is an essential material for the nesting of Antarctic birds such as penguins.

Although there are not many tourists in Antarctica, if each person takes a piece and gathers their armpits into a fur, it will have a bad impact on the ecological environment.

The Antarctic continent is the only continent in the world where no civilization has been born and developed, and it has been very little affected by human activities. When people first explored Antarctica in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they were completely with an attitude of conquest, which caused great damage to the Antarctic ecology and even led to the endangerment of some animals. However, since the implementation of the Antarctic Treaty in 1961 and a series of subsequent treaties, it has become the legal responsibility of every signatory country to protect Antarctica from human influence.

The biggest benefit of Antarctic tourism to Antarctica is that it can give general, non-scientific research people the opportunity to experience the continent and the surrounding seas, understand the physical, chemical and biological activities here, and experience the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

But Antarctic tourism is risky for the Antarctic region, and these risks include:

1.Anthropogenic introduction of species outside of Antarctica (e.g., bacteria on shoes) that affect the Antarctic ecosystem;

2.Artificial damage to the Antarctic environment, such as leaving man-made garbage, grease and chemical pollutants in Antarctica;

3.Animals in Antarctica are artificially captured, intimidated, fed, and have a negative effect on their lifestyle;

Because of these potential risks, the Antarctic Treaty has extremely strict rules on the behavior of all Antarctic visitors, including scientists and tour groups, such as washing the soles of shoes with disinfectant before landing, and avoiding bringing species from other places into Antarctica; There are also animals that are absolutely not allowed to be touched or intimidated by ordinary people, and so on. At the same time, the number of tourists in Antarctica is also strictly controlled according to the size of the research station. The size of each tour must be approved.

The rules of not chasing, touching, or feeding wild animals must be strictly followed.

Do not carry stones from Antarctica.

Antarctic tourism is risky to the Antarctic region, and these risks mainly include:

1.Anthropogenic introduction of species outside of Antarctica (e.g., bacteria on shoes) that affect the Antarctic ecosystem;

2.Artificial damage to the Antarctic environment, such as leaving man-made garbage, grease and chemical pollutants in Antarctica;

3.Animals in Antarctica are artificially captured, intimidated, fed, and have a negative effect on their lifestyle;

Beneficial Effects:

It is to give general, non-scientific research people the opportunity to experience the continent and the surrounding seas, understand the physical, chemical and biological activities here, and experience the harmony between man and nature.

Adverse effects:1Anthropogenic introduction of species outside of Antarctica (e.g., bacteria on shoes) that affect the Antarctic ecosystem;

2.Artificial damage to the Antarctic environment, such as leaving man-made garbage, grease and chemical pollutants in Antarctica;

3.Animals in Antarctica are artificially captured, intimidated, fed, and have a negative effect on their lifestyle;

Requirements: For example, the soles of shoes must be cleaned with disinfectant before landing, so as to avoid bringing species from other places into Antarctica;

Antarctic animals are never allowed to be touched or intimidated by ordinary people, and the number of Antarctic tourists is strictly controlled according to the size of the research station. The size of each tour must be approved.

Requirements: 01 Do not search for any geological and biological specimens and historical relics.

02 Do not leave any waste behind.

03 Keep a specific distance from wild animals, and do not touch, surround and feed them.

04 Pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times, and do not invade animal nests, habitats and trample on vegetation.

05 No research facilities are to be touched.

Advantageous: It can give general, non-scientific research people the opportunity to experience the continent and the surrounding seas, understand the physical, chemical and biological activities here, and experience the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Disadvantages:1Anthropogenic introduction of species outside of Antarctica (e.g., bacteria on shoes) that affect the Antarctic ecosystem;

2.Artificial damage to the Antarctic environment, such as leaving man-made garbage, grease and chemical pollutants in Antarctica;

3.Animals in Antarctica are artificially captured, intimidated, fed, and have a negative effect on their lifestyle;

The main contents of the Antarctic Treaty System of Antarctic Scientific Research Stations are: any activities of a military nature are prohibited in the treaty area, and Antarctica is used only for peaceful purposes; freezing any form of territorial claims to Antarctica; encourage international cooperation in scientific expeditions to Antarctica; Each Consultative State has the right to visit the Antarctic research stations of the other Consultative Countries; The implementation of the major affairs decided by the Consultative States mainly depends on the annual regular meeting of the Antarctic Treaty and the free inspection rights of the Consultative States to the Antarctica. (Here are "some requirements").

There are many adverse effects, such as passengers taking biological specimens or historical documents casually.

"Some requirements" means that there are certain regulations that must be complied with by passengers.

There really is no beneficial effect on Antarctica, only negative effects.

The ultimate responsibility for the implementation is still human beings, so I hope that everyone will try to protect the environment when they travel.

The pollution caused is to all of us who are responsible for it, but the most hateful thing is the people who develop Antarctic tourism.

In the end, no one will bear the consequences, only all of us.

In the end, there is no definite person to bear the consequences, and it can only be borne by all mankind.

If a trip to Antarctica causes pollution, the consequences must be borne by humans, or who else will bear it?
