- Global warming

Which of the above are the outcome of indiscriminate use of resources by humans?
Answer:
All of the above
Notes: The human beings have been using resources indiscriminately and this has led to the following major problems:
- Depletion of resources for satisfying the greed of a few individuals.
- Accumulation of resources in few hands, which, in turn, divided the society into two segments i.e. haves and have nots or rich and poor. Indiscriminate exploitation of resources has led to global ecological crises such as, global warming, ozone layer depletion, environmental pollution and land degradation.
