the monsoon climate of unprecedented large areas of Pakistan under water and the displacement of around 20 million people, while landslides have whole villages and cities in China destroyed. Russia is one of 16 countries that were declared 2010 the increasingly hot and facing the loss of up to one third of their wheat crop.

A large block of ice from Greenland and Niger's are back and suffering from hunger and floods, the loss of their separate cultures.

However, it is now pessimistic about the possibility of an agreement on joint action against global warming because the climate conference this November in Cancun, Mexico.

U.S. chief negotiator Jonathan Pershing in a BBC online article on 7 August quoted and said that many developed countries on the progress made in Copenhagen in December backtracking.

If the plan of the Yasuni National Park, one of the richest areas of biodiversity of the rainforest to be protected in the world. The United Nations Programme for Development has agreed to lead the finances of the trust project and several European countries support the idea.

In London, Ahmed Djoghlaf, Secretary General of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, also against the countries their protection of biological diversity due to the current global economic crisis, warning that destroyed reduce natural increases economic insecurity, not to mention the ability of countries to produce enough food.

There are many innovative ideas for improving global food production, genetically modified crops, cloning, the developers biopesticides in clean production, organic pesticides, fungicides and performance to sustainable agricultural production increase, without the environment.

The saddest thing is that governments all too often the old and discredited methods probably pull his country out of recession.

There they are, of course, perhaps on the current state of their own economies concentrated, if not before the change of focus on the general situation of the matter is that ultimately have ceased to reign?
