Zákaz online gamblerstva odložený
by Barbora Misakova


Keď počujem slovo „hazard“ vždy si predstavím všetky tie obrovské kasína v Las Vegas, do jedného nekonečne vysvietené a žiariace všetkými farbami sveta s množstvom automatov a kartových stolov. Predstavím si množstvo ľudí trasúcich sa v očakávaní veľkej výhry. Vyhrať či nevyhrať! To je otázka! Najmä ak ste skutočný gambler. Aj keď samotný fakt, že sa nachádzate v kasíne z vás gamblera nerobí, máte k tomu minimálne blízko. Hoci veľa ľudí nav&! #353;tevuje kasína len zo zvedavosti a preto, aby sa na vlastné oči presvedčili, či je to v skutočnosti také, ako vo filmoch, je stále veľmi veľa tých, ktorí tam chodia aj reálne hrať. Aj keď ma nikdy predstava kasína nelákala až natoľko, aby som sa tam vybrala, predsa len by som sa asi nechala presvedčiť. Zažiť atmosféru miesta, kde sa chodia vyhrávať veľké peniaze musí byť neskutočná! Naopak skutočné gamblerstvo v sebe nesie všetko iné, len nie atmosféru. Hazard môže viesť k nepriaznivým sociálnym následkom, o ktorých určite hovoriť nemusím. Kým však reálne stojace kasína prísne monitorujú svoje priestory, a tak umožňujú zákonu daného štátu zasahovať proti tým, ktor&#! 253;m hazard prerastá cez hlavu, gambling cez internet je! už o niečom inom. Takýchto online kasín existuje dnes už nespočetné množstvo a svojim klientom ponúkajú nepretržitú možnosť hrať také hry ako napríklad ruleta, blackjack či pinball, z pohodlia ich obývačiek. Keďže vás však nikto nevidí, nemôžete byť ani zatknutý a už vôbec nie liečený. Zákaz, ktorý mal regulovať aktivity rozličných finančných inštitúcií bol odložený. Nové pravidlá, ktoré mali vojsť do platnosti 1. decembra budú platné až od 1. júna 2010. Podľa nových pravidiel by mali tieto finančné inštitúcie zakázané prijímať platby z kreditných kariet, šekov či prevody z elektronických fondov. Nakoľko sa však finančný priemysel s&! #357;ažoval, že nové pravidlá nejasne stanovujú, čo sa pod pojmom „internetové gamblerstvo“ má chápať, zákaz musel byť odsunutý o pol roka. Aj keď si nemyslím, že sa do 1. júna veci zmenia, kto vie. Možnože budú online kasína predsa len zakázané. Raz a navždy!

Online Gambling ban - postponed!
by Barbora Misakova


When I hear a word “gambling” I always imagine those incredibly big casinos somewhere in Las Vegas, all shining in the colors of the world, with plenty of automats and card tables. I imagine lot of people, all trembling from the whole excitement. Win or not to win? That is the most important question when you are real gambler. Of course, the bare fact that you are in the casino is not the evidence you are a gambler, but you at least have very close to it. Many of casino visitors are just trying to make their day unusual and remarkable. They are there just like some kind of tourists who want to see what only movies can show – the place which smells of money! and rich people. Even though I was never lured so much by this view, I have to admit I would like to visit such a place. Not for game or winning money, just for feeling that atmosphere. Of course, the real and “unhealthy” gambling has anything else than atmosphere. Gambling can have adverse social consequences which I don’t have to talk about. While casinos are strictly monitored and so the gamblers can be easily uncovered, on the internet it is bigger problem. There are incredible numbers of online casinos where you can play casino games such as roulette, blackjack, or pachinko comfortably from your living room. No one can see you, and what is worse, no one can actually arrest you. The Internet gambling ban which should regulate activities of various financial institutions was delayed. The new rules which were to take effect on December 1 would be delayed until June 1, 2010. These new rules should prohibit accepting payments from credit cards, checks or ! electronic fund transfers, but as the financial industry compl! ained th at the new rules are not defining clearly what the Internet gambling is, the ban had to be postponed. I hardly doubt the situation is going to be better on June 1 next year, but who knows? Maybe all the online casinos will be shut down once and for all!

Émissions de CO2 se multiplent malgré la crise
by Zuzana Zelenakova


Il est assez étonnant que la pollution s'est développé dans la période de la récession. Habituellement quand un pareil effondrement économique se produit, les statistiques descendent. Non cette fois-ci, cependant. La pollution de dioxide de carbone a augmenté l'année dernière de deux pour cent selon l'étude la plus récente et vous ne devez pas se recueillir pour deviner quel pays a contribué par la plupart à un tel résultat. Ah, ouais, c'est le tigre asiatique grandissant de la Chine. « La croissance des émissions depuis 2000 est presque entièrement conduite à la croissance de Chine, &! #187; a dit Corinne Le Quere, l'auteur de l'étude de l'université d'East Anglia. « C'est la Chine et l'Inde et tous les pays en voie de développement ensemble. » Depuis 2000 le émissions de CO2 ont monté par plus de trois pour cent par an, tandit que dans les années 90 ce n'était que 1.1 pour cent. L'Asie est en particulier couverte par une couche de pollution atmosphérique qui s'appelle le nuage brun asiatique. Naturellement, l'impact principal est sur la santé. Selon l'étude de 2002 deux millions de personnes meurent en Inde chaque année due aux maladies infligées par le nuage. En outre des modèles de temps sont affectés en conséquence. Cependant, les États-unis restent désormais le plus grand producteur des gaz synthétiques de serre chaude par habitant. Quand il vient à la production globale de dioxide de carbon, ils se place à la deuxième place. Ils sont su! ivis sur la liste par l'Inde, la Russie, le Japon, et l'Allema! gne.  71; Fondamentalement ces nombres avertissent les faiseurs des décisions que quoiqu'ils fassent maintenant ne fonctionne pas propicement, » a dit le spécialiste de climat de l'université de Victoria, Andrew Weaver. La prochaine démarche pour des chefs mondials est dans ce cas-ci la conférence de l'ONU programmée pour décembre qui se concentrera sur la réduction des émissions de carbone. Le Président des États-unis, Barrack Obama, a déclaré qu'il vise à quelque chose « qui aurait l'effet opérationnel immédiat. » Par conséquent il appuiera la proposition tout à fait radicale du premier ministre danois Lars Loekke Rasmussen, qui accueille la conférence à Copenhague.

Smisiite na CO2 rastat i pokraj recesijata
by Zuzana Zelenakova


Iznenaduvački e da se znae deka zagaduvanjeto se zgolemilo vo vreme na recesija. Obično, koga nastapuva takov ekonomski kolaps, ovie brojki opagjaat. No, ne i ovoj pat. Zagaduvanjeto so jaglerod dioksidot se zgolemilo za dva procenti minatata godina, spored poslednoto istražuvanje i ne treba dva pati da pogoduvate koja zemja pridonela najmnogu za toj rezultat. O, da, toa e rastečkiot aziski tigar - Kina. "Rastot na emisiite od 2000 godina rečisi celosno e doveden od rastot na Kina", reče avtorot na studijata Korin le Ker od Univerzitetot Istočna Anglija. "Toa go pravat Kina i Indija i site zemji vo razvoj zaedno." Od 2000 godina, emisiite! na CO2 skoknaa povekje od tri procenti godišno, a za vreme na 90-te, rastele za 1.1 procenti. Azija e delumno pokriena od sloj na vozdušno zagaduvanje narečeno aziski kafeav oblak. Normalno, najgolemiot udar e vrz zdravjeto. Spored studija od 2002 godina, 2 milioni lugje vo Indija umiraat sekoja godina poradi bolesti predizvikani tokmu od oblakot. Isto taka se odrazuva i na vremenskite priliki. Kako i da e, sepak, SAD ostanuvaat najgolemiot proizvoditel od čovek napraven karbon dioksid po glava na žitel. Koga stanuva zbor za celosnata produkcija na karbon dioskid, tie se vtori. sledni na listata se Indija, Rusija, Japonija i Germanija. "Vo osnova, ovie brojki vreskaat kon odlučuvačite koišto i da pravat sega, ne funkcionira", reče Andrju Viver, klimatski naučnik od Univerzitetot Viktorija. Naredniot čekor za svetskite lideri vo ovoj slučaj e konferencijata na OON, zakažana za dekemvri, koja kje se fokusira n! a namaluvanjeto na emisiite na karbon dioksid, Amerikanskiot p! retsedat el Barak Obama izjavi deka toj celi kon nešto "što ima brz operativen efekt". Ottamu, toj kje go poddrži prilično radikalniot predlog na danskiot premier Lars Loke Rasmusen, koj e domakjin na konferencijata vo Kopenhagen.

by Claudia Sonea


Gospodine Pretsedatele, se čini deka vie nikogaš ne propuštate prilika da ja začudite javnosta. Ili preku smelata pojava i patriotski govor ili preku nekoi merki što gi prezemate. Otkako propadna nacrt-zakonot za zdravstvena zaštita i postoeše golema kontroverzija vo vrska so toa, Barak Obama i negovite pomošnici smislija ideja da potrošat pari na medicinsko istražuvanje. Ako budzetot e tolku tesen i tie ne možat da si dozvolat kakva bilo druga neracionalna investicija kako što e zdravjeto na lugjeto, kako tie najdoa pari za istražuvačkiot centar? Ova e samo edna od mnogute misterii što se vrtkaat ok! olu amerikanskiot pretsedatel, koj veruva deka Amerikancite navistina se najvelikodušniot narod na planetata, zatoa što tie duri i doniraat pari za da se pokrie ogromniot dolg što amerikanskite administrativci uspeaja da go napravat, otkako pretsedatelot Dzekson uspea da go donese do nulata. Sega, Obama očekuva od lugjeto što ne možat da si dozvolat nitu da odat na lekar, da ja prifatat investicijata za klimatskata promena što kje im pomogne na siromašnite nacii da gi namalat emisiite, da se proiznesat so plan protiv uništuvanjeto na šumite. Dostojna za pofalba, inicijativata na Obama e beskorisna so ogled na toa deka SAD i Kina se najgolemite zagaduvači i i dvete zemji se soočuvaat so ekonomskata recesija. I pokraj toa, na 7 dekemvri pretstavnicite na 192 nacii kje se sretnat vo Kopenhagen na konferencija za klimatskata promena, što bi trebalo da završi na 18 dekemvri, so postignat dogovor.

Ostanete tuka, sega i povtorno site oči se vpereni kon Pretsedatelot!

Množstvo skleníkových plynov stúpa i v čase krízy
by Zuzana Zelenakova


Ide o trochu prekvapujúci vývoj, že miera znečistenia atmosféry skleníkovými plynmi stúpa i v čase svetovej krízy. V takom období tieto čísla väčšinou klesajú. Avšak nie tentoraz. Podľa najnovšej štúdie vzrástlo znečistenie oxidom uhličitým v minulom roku o dve percentá a človek nemusí dvakrát hádať, ktorá krajina prispela najväčším dielom. Je to tak, rozmáhajúci sa ázijský tiger Čína. „Nárast emisií od roku 2000 sa dá pripísať z n! ajväčšej časti ekonomickému rastu Číny,“ hovorí autorka štúdie Corinne LeQuereová z University of East Anglia v anglickom Norwich. „Ide o Čínu, Indiu a všetky rozvojové krajiny.“ Od roku 2000 vzrástli emisie oxidu uhličitého ročne o viac než tri percentá, v deväťdesiatych rokoch to bolo o len o 1,1 percenta ročne. Nad časťou Ázie sa rozprestiera vrstva znečistenia, takzvaný hnedý ázijský mrak. Negatívny dopad má v prvom rade na zdravie. Podľa prieskumu z roku 2002 zomrú v Indii ročne na komplikácie spojené s týmto hnedým mrakom približne dva milióny ľudí. Dopad má taktiež na počasie. Napriek tomu, najväčším producentom skleníkových plynov na osobu naďalej zostávajú Spojené! ; štáty. Čo sa týka celkovej produkcie oxi! du uhli& #269;itého je na druhom mieste. Ďalšími v poradí sú India, Rusko, Japonsko a Nemecko. „Tieto čísla svetovým lídrom viac než dôrazne naznačujú, že kroky, ktoré doteraz podnikli nefungujú,“ hovorí klimatológ Andrew Weaver z University of Victoria. Ďalším krokom týkajúcim sa tohto problému bude decembrová konferencia OSN v Kodani. Americký prezident Barrack Obama prehlásil, že bude usilovať o riešenie, „ktoré by malo okamžitý operačný efekt.“ Preto podporí dá sa povedať dosť radikálny návrh dánskeho premiéra Larsa Loekke Rasmussena.

CO2 emissions going up despite recession
by Zuzana Zelenakova


It is bit of a surprising development that pollution has risen in the time of recession. Usually when such an economic collapse occurs these numbers are going down. Not this time, however. Carbon dioxide pollution has increased by two percent last year according to the latest study and you don´t need to guess twice to figure out which country contributed the most to such a result. Oh, yeah, it is the boosting Asian tiger of China. "The growth in emissions since 2000 is almost entirely driven by the growth in China," said study lead author Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia. "It's China and India and all the developing countries together." Since 2000 CO2! emissions have jumped more than three percent annually, during the 90s it was only 1.1 percent. Asia is partly covered by a layer of air pollution that is called Asian brown cloud. Naturally, the major impact is on health. According to study from 2002 two million people die in India every year due to illnesses inflicted by the cloud. Also weather patterns are affected as a result. However, the US still remain the biggest producer of man-made greenhouse gases per capita. When it comes to the overall production of carbon dioxide it is second. Next on the list are India, Russia, Japan, and Germany. "Basically these numbers are screaming out at decision makers that whatever they are doing now is not working," said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver. The next step for world leaders in this case is UN conference scheduled for December that will focus on reducing carbon emissions. US President Barrack Obama stated that he aims at something "that has immediate ! operational effect." Therefore he will support quite radical p! roposal by Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen, who is hosting the conference in Copenhagen.

Obama Ecologistul
by Claudia Sonea


Domnul Presedinte nu inceteaza niciodata sa uimeasca publicul. Fie printr-o aparitie uimitoare si un discurs patriotic sau prin intermediul unor masuri luate. Dupa ce proiectul de lege de sanatate a esuat si a existat o controversa uriasa asupra subiectului in cauza, Barack Obama si personalul sau au venit cu o idee foarte buna de a cheltui bani pe cercetare medicala. In cazul in care bugetul este atat de redus si ei nu isi pot permite alte investitii irationale precum sanatatea oamenilor, cum de au avut bani pentru centrul de cercetare? Acesta este doar unul din multele mistere din jurul presedintelui Statelor Unit! e, care crede ca americanii sunt intr-adevar persoanele cele mai generoase de pe planeta, deoarece chiar fac si donatii pentru a acoperi datoria uriasa achizitionata de administratiile din SUA ce i-au urmat presedintelui Jackson care s-a straduit pentru a ajunge la 0. Acum, Obama se asteapta de la oameni care nu isi poate permite nici sa mearga la un medic, sa accepte de investitii intr-un program care se adreseaza schimbarii climatice si care va ajuta tarile sarace inspre a reduce emisiile, inspre a veni cu un plan impotriva defrisarilor. Oricat de laudabila ar putea fi initiativa lui Obama este inutila deoarece SUA si China sunt tarile care polueaza cel mai mult si momentan ambele se confrunta cu recesiunea economica. Totusi, pe 7 decembrie reprezentantii a 192 natiuni se vor intalni la Copenhaga pentru o conferinta privind schimbarile climatice, care este trebuia sa se incheie pe 18 decembrie cu un acord. Prognosticul in ceea ce priveste rez! ultatul conferintei nu este unul favorabil, dar domnul presedi! nte are o aparitie teatricala asigurand ca nu va renunta, pana cand nu se va face ceva. Ce anume se va face de fapt, nimeni nu stie si nimeni nu are asteptari mari ca tot ceea ce Barack Obama a promis nu a fost niciodata indeplinit. Ramaneti conectati, acum si din nou, toti ochii sunt pe presedinte!

Obama The Ecologist
by Claudia Sonea


Mister President you never fail to amaze the public. Either through a dashing appearance and a patriotic speech or through some measures you take. After the health care bill failed and there was a huge controversy upon the matter, Barack Obama and his staff came up with a great idea to spend money on medical research. If the budget is so tight and they cannot afford any other irrational investment like people’s health, how come they had the money for the research centre? This is just one of the many mysteries surrounding US president who believes that Americans are indeed the most generous people on the planet as! they even make donations to cover for the huge debt that US administrations managed to acquire after President Jackson strived to get to 0. Now, Obama expects from the people that cannot afford even to go to a doctor, to accept the investment in a climate program that will help poor nations to reduce emissions, to come up with a plan against deforestation. Laudable as it might be, Obama’s initiative is futile as USA and China are the world’s heaviest polluters and they both confront with the economic recession. Yet, on December the 7th the representatives of 192 nations will meet in Copenhagen for a conference on climate change that is supposed to end on 18 December with an agreement. The forecast for the outcome of the conference is not a favourable one, but Mr President has a theatrical appearance assuring he will not give up until something will be done. What exactly will be done, no one actually knows and no one has high expecta! tions as everything Barack Obama promised was never fulfilled.! Stay co nnected, now and again all eyes are on the President!

Temperaturata raste
by Claudia Sonea


“Posle mene, potop!” reče Luj 15 od Francija pokažuvajkji ja svojata ramnodušnost za toa što kje se sluči po negovata smrt i toa e rečenica karakteristična za odnesuvanjeto što go prifativme kon našata planeta. Zemjata e polna so čuda i mu dava na čovečkiot rod sé što mu e neophodno za bogato postoenje. Sepak, nie gi eksploatirame nejzinite izvori naširoko sé do zloupotreba i za vozvrat niz našite aktivnosti, sozdavame ogromno zagaduvanje što ja ubiva našata planeta. Najgolemata zakana so koja Zemjata mora da se sooči e klimatskata promena. Vo poslednite 50 godin! i, prosečnata temperatura na površinata na Zemjata porasna dramatično predizvikuvajkji naširoko topenje na snegot i mrazot, i zgolemuvanje na globalnoto morsko nivo. Dokolku prodolži da se zgolemuva so ovaa stapka, čovečkiot i drugite oblici na život, kje bidat seriozno opfateni od nepovratni i katastrofalni fenomeni. Emisiite na metanot se glavnite vinovnici za globalnoto zatopluvanje i ovie gasovi se rezultat na čovečkite aktivnosti. Svesnosta na lugjeto vodeše ne samo kon osnovanjeto na mnogu nevladini organizacii koi se borat za zaštita na sredinata, no, isto taka gi navede državite da formiraat vladini komiteti i da sozdadat zakoni što se odnesuvaat na sredinata. Evropskite napori za spravuvanje so problemite predničat pred drugite i nivnite napori bea plodni sé dosega, otkako bea potpišani dva golemi dogovora vo 1992 i 1997 godina, koi se nameneti da gi obvrzuvaat zemjite vo prifakja! njeto merki i politiki so cel efektivno da se namalat da se na! malat em isiite na karbon dioksidot.

NASA testiraše nova raketa
by kristina leskova


NASA - Nacionalnata astronautska i vselenska administracija e amerikanska agencija odgovorna za vselenskata programa. NASA e osnovana vo 1958 godina. Sega gi napravi svoite prvi testovi za letanje so svojata raketa za na mesečinata. Prototipot na mesečinskata raketa poleta vo sredata, toa beše podocna od planiranoto poradi lošoto vreme. Raketata počna vo Florida kade mnogu lugje dojdoa da go vidat uspehot. Raketata "Ares 9", visoka 327 stapki, bi možela da se zamisli kako golem bel moliv. Ovoj pat ne noseše nieden patnik ili korisna nosivost. Celta beše da se vidi početokot i da se nabljuduva istitot dokolku sé funkcionira! . Ovoj proben let čineše 445 milioni dolari. NASA reče deka ova e ogromen čekor napred. Ova e prv pat vo rečisi 30 godini nova raketa da poleta od Vselenskiot centar "Kenedi". "Ares" e edna od najvisokite raketi, no najvisokata beše "Saturn 5", so 363 stapki. Celiot let traeše samo dve minuti. No, kje bidat potrebni nekolku meseci da se analizira celata data-baza što ja snimija senzorite. Vednaš po početokot, bea otvoreni padobranite i del od raketata padna vo Atlantskiot Okean, kade čekaa brodovi. Gornite delovi od raketata padnaa nekontrolirano vo Okeanot i ovie delovi nema da možat da bidat pronajdeni. Celiot proces koj go gledaa mnogu lugje, traeše samo šest minuti. NASA e mnogu optimistična i tvrdi deka raketata "Ares" kje može da gi nosi astronautite vo Megjunarodnata vselenska stanica vo 2015 godina. No, ekspertite ispratija izveštaj na pretsedatelot Barak Obama kade velat deka toa ! bi bilo izvodlivo podocna, vo 2017 godina. Menadzerite na NAS! A oč ;ekuvaat da naučat mnogu od ova probno letanje i sega imaat mnogu rabota.

Creste temperatura
by Claudia Sonea

"Dupa mine, potopul", a spus Louis al XV-lea, regele Frantei, astfel indicand indiferenta ce o resimtea pentru ceea ce se intampla dupa moartea sa. Aceasta fraza este caracteristica atitudinii pe care o adoptam fata de planeta noastra. Pamantul este plin de minuni si da omenirii, tot ceea ce este necesar pentru o existenta opulenta. Cu toate acestea, oamenii ii exploateaza resursele sale cu nesat, abuzand, si in schimb rasplatim planeta prin activitati care genereaza o poluare extraordinara ce o ucide incet, dar sigur. Cea mai mare amenintare pe care Pamantul trebuie sa o infrunte este reprezentata de schimbarile climatice. In ultimii 50 de ani temperatura medie a suprafetei Pamantului a crescut in mod dramatic ceea ce a provoacat topirea masiva a zapezii si a ghetii, si o crestere a nivelului marii la nivel global. In cazul in care continua sa creasca in acest ritm, atat existenta umana cat si a altor forme de viata va fi grav ! afectata de fenomene ireversibile si catastrofale. Emisiile de gaze cu efect de sera sunt principalele responsabile pentru incalzirea globala si aceste gaze rezulta din activitatile umane. Sensibilizarea cetatenilor a dus nu numai la infiintarea mai multor organizatii non-guvernamentale care lupta pentru protectia mediului, dar a determinat de asemenea tarile sa numeasca comisii guvernamentale si sa creeze legi legate de mediu. Uniunea Europeana se afla in fruntea eforturilor internationale destinate gasirii de solutii pentru protectia mediului si eforturile sale au fost fructuoase pana in prezent, finalizandu-se cu doua mari tratate care au fost semnate in 1992 si 1997 si al caror rol este de a obliga tarile semnatare in adoptarea de masuri si politici cu scopul reducerii cost-eficienta a emisiilor de gaze cu efect de sera. In acest an, intre 2 si 6 noiembrie, se va intruni la Barcelona grupul de lucru ad hoc privind actiune! a in cooperare pe termen lung, ca o ultima sesiune de negocier! i inaint e de Conferinta Schimbari Climatice ce va avea loc la Copenhaga, Danemarca. De asemenea, se va desfasura si o intrunire a liderilor asiatici si din Pacific, in Singapore intre 14 si 15 noiembrie in vederea abordarii problematicii emisiilor de gaze. SUA ramane din punct de vedere politic tara fruntasa si toate celelalte tari sunt, de obicei influentate de politica sa, facand astfel adoptarea unui proiect de lege al mediului imperios necesara. Cu toate acestea, administratia lui Obama nu reuseste sa fie de acord nici cu privire la proiectul de lege de asistenta medicala, astfel ca exista sanse mici sa abordeze acum probleme precum obiectivele de a reduce emisiile de dioxid de carbon sau fondurile care sa ajute tarile in curs de dezvoltare in a limita eliminarea lor. Cel mai probabil, o alta tara va trebui sa-si asume acest rol pe care SUA nu mai pare a fi capabila sa il ocupe sau in acest an, nu va exista nici o innoire a politicilor de mediu si nu va ! exista nici un alt tratat semnat la Copenhaga in decembrie.

Temperature is rising
by Claudia Sonea


“After me, the deluge” said Louis XV of France showing his indifference for what happens after his death and it is a phrase characteristic for the attitude we adopt towards our planet. Earth is full of wonders and gives mankind everything necessary for an opulent existence. Yet, we exploit its resources avidly until abusing of them and in return through our activities we generate a tremendous pollution which kills our Planet. The biggest threat that Earth has to face is the climate change. In the past 50 years the Earth's average surface temperature has risen dramatically causing widespread melting of snow and ! ice, and an increase in global sea level. If it continues to increase at this rate, mankind and other life forms will be seriously affected by irreversible and catastrophic phenomena. The greenhouse gas emissions are the main responsible for the global warming and these gases result from human activities. People’s awareness led not only to the foundation of multiple non-governmental organizations fighting for the protection of environment, but it also determined countries to appoint governmental committees and create laws related to the environment. The European is at the forefront of international efforts to address the matter and its efforts were fruitful up to now as two major treaties were signed in 1992 and 1997 that are meant to bind countries in adopting measures and policies with the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. This year from 2 to 6 November the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long! -term Cooperative Action under the Convention will be held in ! Barcelon a as a last session of negotiations before the climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. There will be also a meeting of Asian and Pacific leaders in Singapore between 14 and 15 November tackling the issue of gas emissions. US remains politically the leading country and all the other countries are usually influenced by its policy, thus making the adoption of a climate bill imperiously necessary. However, Obama’s administration fails to agree on the healthcare bill and there are small chances to approach issues like the targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions or the funds that will help developing countries to limit their discharges. Most probably, another country will have to step up and assume a role that US no longer seems capable to handle or this year, the environmental policies will not be renewed and there will not be any other treaty signed at Copenhagen in December.
