Answer 7

Scale of environmental problem is quite relative to persons facing that, geography, economy and culture.

To some people even biggest environmental problem could be even not be a problem. To people dying from hunger environment is a lurxury, people who do not have access to water, water pollution has no question.

Moreover, Largest problem in what sense, in scale that how much population is suffering from it or largest in the sense that how seriously it is affecting.

However, i will rate indiscrimination in resource distribution becuase it is leading to poorer becoming pooorest and richer becoming richest, conflicts, wars for resources, resulting in more conflicts, poverty, resources which needs to be used for health education and food are used to protect borders etc.

Answer 8

Too many people consuming too much and polluting too much.  

Scientists say that by 2020, the population of the earth will have doubled.  We barely have enough resources to support the people on earth already.  Due to the mass amount of people and consumption, it's causing loss of habitats and ecosystems, also due to global warming (again, because of us).  By 2050, it's predicted that 50% of the species on earth will be extinct.  Therefore with the lack of plant and animal life and destructions of whole ecosystems, we will not have enough food to feed everyone, and most likely humans themselves will be considered an endangered species.

Answer 12

I think that it is not global warming, but that is third to (first) population growth of humans and (second) pollution, like scid rain.  That, in my opinion, does more damage than making the earth a little warmer and raising sea levels.I'm tired of winter--i could use a little warming right now!
