Life on planet Earth emerged and is sustained due to photosynthesis. Photosynthesising systems formed on the planet an oxygen-containing atmosphere with an ozone shield, a biosphere with fertile soil, an adequate climate and a rational level of temperatures of the near-earth atmosphere to provide a living environment for the human race. Photosynthesising systems are extremely sensitive to environmental contamination with toxic, cancerous-mutagenic and other hazardous substances, which even in small concentrations reduce effectiveness of photosynthesis. Presently, hundreds of millions of tons of extremely hazardous and cancerous-mutagenic pollutants are emitted to the planet's environment. The level of deforestation is 10 to 12 mln. hectares annually, and over 6 mln. hectares of fertile land annually become deserts. Practically, one-third of the ocean's surface is covered with technogenic films, thus reducing the level of delivery of carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere to the ocean.A global ecosystem has emerged on planet Earth. It is developing not according to natural or social laws, but rather to its intrinsic socio-ecological laws. The ecosystem is losing its capacity for natural self-regulation. This results in the following: destruction of the biosphere's regenerative mechanisms; destruction and degradation of photosynthesising systems; reduced consumption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; the greenhouse effect-induced growing temperatures of the near-earth atmosphere layer, the increasing World ocean level, and redistribution of water precipitation and flooding of many planet's regions.
