The safety of the planet Earth is the main task of mankind
From time immemorial, humanity in its essence tends to a state of security, security and tries to create the most comfortable and comfortable conditions for life.
On the other hand, all living things are constantly in the world of a wide variety of risks. The threat is present everywhere and comes from everywhere: from criminogenic situations, from rulers, from accidents, from the risks of diseases with various infections, from the risks of military conflicts and many others.

The main types of danger for the planet
Trends in the development of major types of disasters (ecological, natural and man-made) show that on Earth in the coming years a high probability of major emergencies will persist. The increase in the number of such cataclysms will, accordingly, lead to an increase in damage, which is already huge for today.
Ecological disasters
Since the very beginning of man's mastery of the vast territories of the planet, there have been many major ecological disasters, representing the most global problems of our time.
In the world there are irreversible changes in natural resources and resources, leading either immediately or with the passage of a certain time to the death of many living beings.
In total, 4 types of disasters are distinguished: global, local, technogenic and natural.
The greatest problem arises precisely in the case of man-made accidents. And this is entirely the fault of mankind. More often this kind of danger is of a local nature, but the consequences of it are worse than many more global problems.
Especially serious are accidents at nuclear power plants, in connection with which the ecological safety of the planet became most likely an unrealizable myth, than reality.
Hazards of nature
Complex processes (physicochemical and biochemical) take place on the surface of the Earth and in the layers of the atmosphere closest to it, accompanied by the exchange of energy of various types. The sources of these energies are the processes taking place in the bowels of the Earth, the chemical and physical interactions of its outer shells and the physical fields.
A person can not suspend or change the course of such transformations, he is only able to predict their development and influence the dynamics.
Global warming is the greatest danger that threatens the planet and the whole of mankind. According to skeptics, people's activities, quite possibly, play a role in the formation of this disaster, but not decisive. However, the safety of the planet to some extent depends on the activities of people.
Threats of anthropogenic nature
The safety of the planet depends on threats of anthropogenic nature. People have known and realized this kind of danger later than natural ones. Why? Because these events (man-made disasters) contributed to the accelerated development of the technosphere. Sources of disasters were terrible man-made disasters.
It is important to note that in terms of the degree of danger, objects and structures are divided into such groups:
- Weapons are nuclear, biological, zhimic and objects of the defense complex. All these weapons of mass destruction.
- Nuclear power facilities.
- Complexes rocket-space.
- Biotechnological and chemical complexes.
- Complexes oil and gas.
- Power objects.
- Metallurgical complexes.
- Gas and oil pipelines.
- Various structures (dams, bridges, stadiums, etc.).
- The construction of civil and industrial construction and so on.
