Winter in Russia is so bitterly cold that the Global Warming subject is hardly the first thing that comes to your mind. However, the planet-saving rhetoric on BBC and other channels and the all around  talk of the Copenhagen conference constantly draws your attention to this matter. You can’t deny that at some point you start feeling involved. You start paying attention to the simple facts from everyday life, such as polluted air, grimy, stinky emissions from passing cars and industrial estates, dirty snow, dirty soil, dangerous chemicals on the roads, the growing population, the rapidly disappearing wildlife landscapes and deforestation substituted by appalling warehouses and rambling cottages. Is this how the future will look and smell? I don’t see how climate change skeptics underestimate the facts of increasing CO2 emissions, the well known facts of acidification of the oceans and seas, the orbit  pollution -- all caused by human activity. Besides, it’s impossible to ignore the fact of the globalization of the world market which results in the growth of economies,   increasing urbanization, growth in mega cities and consequently production units, stocks of cars, and so on. I’m not sure at all that global warming really does in fact take place, or if it is just one of nature's cycles. But I’m pretty sure that the growing population  of the Earth and, as a consequence, its activity,  will have exhausting effects on the whole ecosystem of the planet. Maybe it’s time to think how to start controlling themselves  instead of  to persist  on controlling the nature? (David Attenborough) Whoever and however first talks about the climate change started, that was a turning point  followed  by  development of a scope of  new safe-energy projects and technologies which, I'm sure, will be defining the trend  of the world economy in the 21st century, replacing dying industries , obsolete technologies, creating new jobs and standards of thinking. The age of fossil fuels is passing by.
