• A hole in the sky
  My neighbor, a dazzling brunette, does not hide that she loves the sun and, like many women, likes to be tanned. So when the last snows come down from the mountains, they are exposed to the sun. For health and beauty. He does it with impunity in early spring. It can get worse later. What to do, how to strongly charm freons - traditionally an ozone hole appears in the sky. As always dangerous and as always awakening the vigilance of scientists and the imagination of the media.
• Deforestation and humanity's chances of survival
  Deforestation is the number one major cause of extinction in species. In the latest reports from world institutions, the largest research centers, the postulate to stop deforestation appears as one of the key actions necessary to deal with the climate and environmental crisis. Two researchers from Chile and the United Kingdom, using computer models, estimated that if the current pace of deforestation continues, our civilization has two to four decades until its final collapse. Numerical simulations indicated a less than 10% chance that we would survive the catastrophe. There is little hope of avoiding the worst-case scenario by implementing a grand plan to reforest the planet.
