Massive Typhoon in the Philippines
Our country is another great example for the effects of Climate Change. For those who can afford to migrate that is very good. For those who cannot, will try the best to adapt what ever technology is available.

Climate change, climate protection
It's a situation simular to drinker! More then 100 years CO2 was instiled. Now their is only the chance of change drastically: Reclaime by the only way menhood has by stopping the Nonsense Coal-Powerstation! Forest Fires caused more then 8.000 Megatons of CO2 input. The technology and the way of financing is available now. Please have a look www.3f-international.com
