Глобальное потепление, вызванное накоплением в атмосфере парниковых газов, проявляется в различных частях земного шара: ураганы, землетрясения, наводнения, засухи, пожары наносят непоправимый ущерб человеку и природе на всех континентах. Таяние снегов на горных вершинах уже привело к нехватке пресной воды в Африке. Подъем уровня моря приведет к затоплению огромной части суши.
Проблема имеет глобальный характер. Во многих странах некомпетентность политиков и ученых привела к тому, что там, где когда-то стояли полные жизни города, сейчас пустыня. Но пустыни не появляются из ниоткуда. Они тоже – результат деятельности человека. Шестьдесят лет назад был популярен лозунг: “Покорим природу!” Человек бросил вызов природе в надежде улучшить мир. Все это время мы были ужасно расточительны, а наша планета стойко сносила все эксперименты. Наконец пришло время подумать о ближайшем будущем.
