To whom it might be of concern.
We all know there is a global warming which threatens all of us. I have sent e-mail to United Nations Convention on Climate Change with the following: "
I am concerned as many people are with the continuous degradation and climate change. I propose that you stress not only stopping with further deforestation but arrange that all countries around the world sign to 2-5 percent of adding new forrests in each of the countries, in order to minimalize the damage caused by the massive deforastation so far. Belgium for example must add 5 percent of forests within it's borders, the same Netherlands, Germany, and of course all the other countries. It should be binding in a treaty. Furthermore something should be done that deforastation in Brazil and Central Africa is altogether stopped.
Yours sincerely, Thaddeus Hutyra"
The above was sent 10 years ago.

The Amazon Rainforest and tropical forests of Africa and South Asia which are the lungs of the entire world are dying on our eyes, due to the ruthless activities of the human beings, deforestation mainly. It is time now for all the countries to create a chapter proclaiming the forests so vital for the world that they must be protected to an absolute nessessity. 
In this order mechanisms have to be created which will enable the poor nations where the rainforests are based and their inhabitants to stay away from exploiting and deforestation of the forests. 
In this order too, the governments of the world should establish funds and rainforests' tax within their countries which would be supplied to the people of the countries where the rainforests are based, under a condition that de exploitation and deforestation stops. This should be an effort of every single country, under an umbrella of the United Nations. And it should be an effort many times more generous than the Marschal Plan. Our survival as humanity depends on it. Time is Now !
This is, naturally, one of the many efforts which the humanity must undertake, in order to stop the global warming. The European Union is best equipped to lead and should be joined by the United States, Russia, China, India, Brazil and all other countries, in a network far beyond Kyoto. Time is Now, indeed !

In the last 30 years, we've lost as much as three-quarters of the floating ice cap at the top of the world. The volume of that sea ice measured by satellites in the summer, when it reaches its smallest, has shrunk so fast that scientists say it's now in a 'death spiral'.
For over 800,000 years, ice has been a permanent feature of the Arctic ocean. It's melting because of our use of dirty fossil fuel energy, and in the near future it could be ice free for the first time since humans walked the Earth. This would be not only devastating for the people, polar bears, narwhals, walruses and other species that live there - but for the rest of us too.
The ice at the top of the world reflects much of the sun's heat back into space and keeps our whole planet cool, stabilising the weather systems that we depend on to grow our food. Protecting the ice means protecting us all.
