Pollution All 47 members of the Antarctic Treaty cannot be denied as they put up a strong agreement, that there is to be no aircraft in Antarctica as the noise pollution would cause disruption of animals in their breeding grounds. You can’t doubt that another notable view is that all the ash caused by incinerators which burn the ash must be kept. Many people also believe  Mining All 47 members of the Antarctic Treaty completely concede, that any sort of mining in Antarctica should be utterly stopped for a future 50 years. This is to reduce the amount of oil washing onto the shores of Antarctica which would lead to the suffering, death and possible extinction of animals in Antarctica.

It would be foolish to be deny that, if permanent settlement resembles in Antarctica it ought to be a disaster as the residents would be arguing and demanding for everyday life essentials such as heating, lighting and food supplies. Another reason why Antarctica shouldn’t be inhabited by humans is because supermarkets, schools and other buildings would have to be constructed. It is obvious to say that there should be a limit which would determine that scientists are only allowed to stay in Antarctica for up to 7 months and tourists are allowed 2-4 weeks. It is commonly stated that any member nation that breaks this rule will receive a hefty fine and will be removed from the treaty.

The consequence for the people who break this rule is that their holiday will be cut short.

It is regularly brought up in conferences that there should be weaponry in this wonderful unique continent such as guns and nuclear bombs which would harm the wildlife, mainly the penguins in their rookeries. To conclude, any member nation who breaks this rule will have their weaponry annihilated and receive a fine depending on the amount of weapons used.
