1) The advancement of science an technology has lead to the making of many carbon dioxide emitting machines (cars, coal electricity plants, etc) this has lead to global warming as the carbon dioxide is trapping the heat from the sun, this has also lead to increase temperature of the waters, this has changed the habitats for sea life and endangered many species.

2) Technology has also created much more efficient ways to kill people (nuclear bombs, biological weapons, guns etc.


3) Technology has made it possible for humans to increase in population at an incredible rate that will not slow until the earth can no longer sustain us all. It is the increased efficiency with which we can harvest food and transport it around the world, among many other reasons that allows our numbers to increase like this , etc.


4) Technology in the area of health pharmaceuticals to combat viruses has led to the creation of far worse viruses that we have been beginning to see in Canada and the U.S. (not sure about other countries) with viruses like SARS and H1N1and many others.

What are the bad effect of science?

Science and Technology are always advancing, some people believe that the world is good the way it is or the way it was in the past and to those people change alone can be a negative effect. Unintended consequences is another major negative effect of many new technologies. Introductory phases of new technology, after a new technology is commercialized, can be fraught with structural failures, political ramifications, ecological disasters, and other long term effects that cannot be predicted. Ultimately most technological advancement and scientific breakthrough tends toward the good, and those that have negative effects are dropped or "fixed". Current problems that could be argued to be because of Technology include Ecological problems such as deforestation, global warming, climate-change, and species extinction, social problems such as internet addiction, and the devastating effects of modern weapons. Many of these problems are also caused by societal issues and can be repaired by implementing governmental policies and improving awareness in the populace.
