Environmental costs refer to the negative impacts on the environment resulting from human activities, such as pollution, deforestation, and habitat destruction. These costs can affect ecosystems, species diversity, and ultimately human health and well-being. It is important to consider and account for these environmental costs when making decisions that impact the environment.
An environmental cost of tar sands extraction is the destruction of boreal forests, which are important ecosystems for biodiversity and carbon storage. Clearing land for tar sands operations can also disrupt habitats for wildlife and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
The greatest environmental cost of fossil fuels is their contribution to climate change through the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. This leads to global warming, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather patterns, all of which have detrimental effects on ecosystems and biodiversity.
A worldwide infrastructure extracts, processes, and transports fossil fuels. (Apex)
Antithetical to environmental would be non-environmental or destructive to the environment.
An environmental scientist is commonly referred to as an ecologist or environmental researcher/professional.
Wind turbines generate energy using wind power. This does not affect the surrounding environment, therefore their environmental cost would be minimal.
Environmental costs refer to the impact caused by nature
