The article states that globalisation contributes to the
destruction of the environment. International trading brought by globalisation
promotes consumerism, resulting in increased productions throughout the world,
leading to a rise in fishing, deforestation and even expansion of factories. In
fact, pollution generated by one country passes on to other countries,
especially in the case of air pollution. Although globalisation is not the sole
factor of global warming, it serves as a catalyst. However the situation is not
as bad as it seems, provided that there is effective global governance. The
current system is inefficient in controlling the situation, and crucial parties
are either reluctant or incompetent to devote their power. Although non-governmental
organisations’ efforts are remarkable, the cooperation between global forces in
addressing environmental problems is still of the utmost importance.

With the effects of globalization it seems that it is inevitable for government to come into place to intervene to solve the negative effects of globalization like the environmental damage done. should we really blame the government for the effects of globalization ?
