Environmental-protection regulations increase compliance costs and decrease economic competitiveness.
Global warming can disrupt weather patterns and lead to climate and weather changes which may become detrimental should they go beyond certain limits.
Rising sea levels, unpredictable changes to global and regional weather systems, depletion of fresh water supplies, loss of crop land through aridity, desertification, damage to natural ecosystems.
Although it is difficult to connect specific weather events to global warming, an increase in global temperatures may in turn cause broader changes, including glacial retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise. Changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation may result in flooding and drought. There may also be changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, addition of new trade routes, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions, and increases in the range of disease vectors.
Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are, at least in part, already being attributed to global warming. A 2001 report by the IPCC suggests that glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption such as that of the Larsen Ice Shelf, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, and increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, are being attributed in part to global warming.While changes are expected for overall patterns, intensity, and frequencies, it is difficult to attribute specific events to global warming. Other expected effects include water scarcity in some regions and increased precipitation in others, changes in mountain snow pack, and adverse health effects from warmer temperatures.
Increasing deaths, displacements, and economic losses projected due to extreme weather attributed to global warming may be exacerbated by growing population densities in affected areas, although temperate regions are projected to experience some benefits, such as fewer deaths due to cold exposure. A summary of probable effects and recent understanding can be found in the report made for the IPCC Third Assessment Report by Working Group II. The newer IPCC Fourth Assessment Report summary reports that there is observational evidence for an increase in intense tropical cyclone activity in the North Atlantic Ocean since about 1970, in correlation with the increase in sea surface temperature, but that the detection of long-term trends is complicated by the quality of records prior to routine satellite observations. The summary also states that there is no clear trend in the annual worldwide number of tropical cyclones.
Additional anticipated effects include sea level rise of 110 to 770 millimeters (0.36 to 2.5 ft) between 1990 and 2100, repercussions to agriculture, possible slowing of the thermohaline circulation, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity of hurricanes and extreme weather events, lowering of ocean pH, and the spread of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. One study predicts 18% to 35% of a sample of 1,103 animal and plant species would be extinct by 2050, based on future climate projections.However, few mechanistic studies have documented extinctions due to recent climate change and one study suggests that projected rates of extinction are uncertain.
TGlobalization led to economic and environmental change, first on the economic side there is free trade. Other countries may be running out of resources so countries buy and sell with each other
Environmental protection is expensive, and reduces a company's competitiveness in the global market.
the affect is chemicals goint into the atmosphere and damaging the ozone layer.
Lead in soil can leak into water supplies and wells. Lead is toxic and can cause severe brain damage or death.
it used to be lead, but most are steel now for environmental reasons. lead is a poison: a toxic heavy metal.
Neurotoxins damage nerve cells. I believe that an endotoxin can be a neurotoxin, but a neurotoxin is not necessarily an endotoxin. Kinda like lead is a neurotoxin but a neurotoxin is not necessarily lead. An excitoxin is neurotoxin since exitotoxins damage nerve and glial cells. Endotoxins and exotoxins have to do with bacteria and if they cause nerve damage they would be considered neurotoxins.
Make troughs to lead the lava away from cities/towns
International trade and communication among people of different cultures has always led any "revolution" in thinking and practices.
Environmental-protection regulations increase compliance costs and decrease economic competitiveness.
excessive tourism in a certain area can lead to environmental damage
Equipment failure can lead to oil spills and environmental damage.
Novanet Increasing the amount of stomach acid, which can lead to ulcers
The Hazards of Globalization: Economic Development - rapid changes and unequal economic power can lead to radically unequal development. Labor Rights - the mobility of investment and jobs can enable companies and countries to exploit workers. Environmental Problems - lack of world environmental standards can increase pollution and ecological damage. Human Rights - the profit motive can get companies to look the other way when governments violate human rights. Terrorism - cultural and political disruptions can spur on terrorists to attack the forces they feel are undermining their worl
Coal dust, silica dust, and asbestos, which may lead to pulmonary fibrosis
A typical development is the increasing integration of technology and globalization, which have accelerated the pace of economic growth and innovation worldwide. However, these factors also lead to challenges such as income inequality, environmental degradation, and social disruption. Governments and organizations are increasingly focused on finding ways to balance the benefits of modern development with the need for sustainability and equity.
If population growth is not controlled, it can lead to an over-demand of Natural Resources, space for agriculture and urban growth. This results in environmental damage.

Some theories argue that globalization has lead to slavery and child labor. Globalization has possibly assisted terrorist and criminals in their activities.
