Many species of migrant birds are now confused as to whether they have to leave for warmer places or they should remain at their place. That's because their organism knows it by instinct that it has to leave, but the warm temperature tells them the contrary.

you're right Peter. An entire research was carried out by a group of scientists.

By the year 2080, Europe will be missing cold winters, for they will disappear completely. This means that Scandinavians will live like Italians live today.

In June 2000, the EU has launched a program called the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP). The goal of the ECCP is to identify, develop and implement all the necessary elements of an EU strategy to implement the Kyoto Protocol. Unfortunately it is not efficient, as the EU pays insignificant attention to climate issues.

People encounter more and more often, especially during the last several years, extreme weather events, including heat waves, floods and droughts. They are becoming regular events, and we're already used to that.

The recent earthquaqe in Italy is also a consequence of climate change. You should understand that climate change involves not only an atmospheric mutation, the Earth's crust suffers changes as well and thereby gives unnormal reactions.

Yes, and it points to the fact that climate change is already affecting seriously Europe, by killing indirectly thousands of Europeans yearly. I read that by 2010, a big earthquake is expected in the Balkan region.

“Actually the world tends to become more ecological. This is because the humanity has already felt the negative impact of climate change. The earlier we take actions, the less our children will have to fight for surviving.”

At this point I can’t agree with you M.Helen. May be the world tends somehow to improve the actual situation, but so far, no important decisions were taken. If, thinking logically, all the factories which emit gases into the atmosphere won’t stop working, their negative effect can be reduced but …that won’t make any change. Factories are business – if business stops, businessmen won’t earn money. So it will never stop. Money is ruling the world.

I'm sure the climate change will affect not only European people but all the earth. It may change general health situation, condition which will challenge life's adaptation on our planet
