I believe that global warming is not to over-exploitation of land resources deposits and excessive emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere but it is a problem, not successful investments for which someone must pay. An example is the production of solar cells in Germany in the nineties, it turned out that the cost of producing energy from solar is four times higher than that of carbon and costs have to blame society. And in order not to burden the costs of its own citizens came up with the brilliant idea to impose penalties on EU countries for not implementing renewable energy.



It is one of history which many in our global business world and we have to naive towers with everything we said and television enough to analyze all periods in our world to understand what is happening in about us.



Of course I could be wrong because only God is not fallible.

Yes. I think people should more concern about globe warming. I live in Vietnam, day by day, i feel the climate in our country change a lot. It’s more hotter, less more rain , some parts of our country change the way it used to be.. 


Hopefully everyone in our country can care more about the enviroment, protect for the plants in the area that they live, and teach for the kids how to protect for the enviroment.

Global warming is going to be increased day by day…which is very harmful for all mankind and all living things.
