It is no longer a secret that the weather is changing, with abnormal phenomenon happening all around the world. We all know that the planet suffers from these negative weather changes which are getting more and more dangerous as we speak. Is there something we can do about it? Not on a big scale, anyway…

This abnormal weather is the consequence of repeated mistakes made by humans. The constantly increasing pollution – due to car gas emissions, excessive use of deodorants, some kinds of factories, etc – is the main factor that led to the appearance of all sorts of anomalies related to the weather. This phenomenon happens, unfortunately, all over the Globe and seems to be increasing in a concerning rhythm.

This is why we have to be well informed about all this meteorological metamorphosis. And the best way to do this is to access specialized websites in the field. Thanks to the Internet, you can convince yourself about the abnormal weather existing today; you have the opportunity to choose a “disaster video” from a diversified range of videos.

A “disaster video” is – exactly what its name indicates – a video presenting a disaster, a meteorological disaster, to be more specific. Whether it’s a tornado, a lightning storm, a hurricane and so on, there are websites that have it all. As frightened as you may possibly be to watch this kind of videos, you should know that ignoring facts will not spare you of the consequences. Put in other words, these meteorological anomalies can happen in your city too, whether you are willing to accept this fact or not. And seeing what they look like is a good way of knowing what to do if, God forbidden, you will ever be forced to deal with them.

Watching a disaster video is always a good way of reminding your own self that you are not immortal and that this kind of things can happen to anyone of us. People “swallowed” by huge tsunami waves or killed in huge hurricanes, houses destroyed by terrible tornados, all of these are no mystery for some unfortunate countries on the Globe. Filmed by amateurs just happening to be nearby when the specific disaster took place, each disaster video has an authenticity that makes it worth to be viewed. Not forgetting also the fact that all of these videos have attached – below the window in which they are displayed – all the information about the filmed phenomenon, like location, temperature, atmospheric conditions and so on.

Even though people are oriented today towards videos presenting the latest fashion/make-up trends, the latest gossips about celebrities, ways of losing weight and other similar things, videos like a disaster video should be paid more attention to. Why? Because these meteorological anomalies are getting more and more frequent. And they can happen to you too.

The abnormal weather that governs the entire Globe today is one of the biggest concerns for top scientists all around the world. In their numerous attempts to identify all the causes that have led to this meteorological crisis and to find out solutions that would remediate the weakness of the weather’s status, these people have tried it all. Unfortunately, it’s a little bit too late to remediate some of the problems. Some things, indeed, can be done here and there. But the damage, the big damage, has already been done and it’s only our – the human race’s – fault.

Around the world, there are many climate change events that take place in order to bring awareness to the fact that our world needs us to change. There are many ways that people can change in order to have a positive impact on our planet. The many events that are held around the world each deal with a different way that people can change in order to bring about a more environmentally friendly attitude. Below are five examples of some events that are geared toward living in a greener way.

Earth hour is an international event that is held once a year in order to raise awareness about the need to change our habits regarding energy consumption. This is done on the last Saturday of March where everyone is asked to turn everything off for one hour in the evening.



Earth Day is an event that is celebrated once a year. The date of when it is held will vary in different places around the world, but the purpose is the same. This is a day that is meant to celebrate our Earth and show our appreciation for our planet. It is also a day when people are encouraged to reflect on what they can do in order to be kinder to our special planet.

Trash to Treasure Day is celebrated once a year in many places where people will put items out on their front lawns for one day. People going by who see something they like are free to take it if they feel they have use for it. This day works on the idea that one person’s junk is another’s treasure. This way, items that would have normally been tossed in the trash are being reused.

World Environment Day, which was created by the United Nations, is a week long event that is hosted by a different city every year and is meant to raise awareness about the state of the environment. Though the main focus remains on the environment, there will be a different environmental theme each year.

B.C. River Day is an event that is held in British Columbia once a year in the Fall and is an event that may very well be celebrated in other places around the world; the event just might be under another name. This particular event is meant to raise awareness about the state of our rivers, lakes and oceans and to encourage change that will help to improve the health of our waterways.

With the serious environmental issues faced with today, many think it’s unlikely that a single household can make a big difference. But the truth is that every household has the ability to significantly cut back on negative environmental impact. Moreover, if every household took steps to become more environmentally conscious, the collective effect would be truly remarkable.

However, when considering ‘environmentally responsible’ measures, many people envision having to make major lifestyle changes. However, taking on an eco-friendly attitude does not entail switching your entire life around. There are a number of simple steps anyone can take around the house to ultimately make a big difference to their environmental impact.

First and foremost, ensure you start shutting off lights and electrical items - from the television to your computer - when they are not in use. Many people are in the habit of leaving things on when they leave the room or even the house - and it ultimately makes a massive difference, not only to the environment, but to their power bill. You can even take this action a step further by switching off any standby functions on electrical items, such as your television.

Another simple step you can take to save energy around the house is to replace all your regular light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs. Sure, you’ll need to spend money on them up front - but they’ll save you a fortune in the long run, and the measure will certainly impact the environment in a good way. Similarly, you might want to think about replacing inefficient appliances around the house, as well as to fit a jacket around your hot water tank to ensure all the heat isn’t escaping.

Find you’re using too much heat during the winter? Lower your gas usage - and bills - by shutting your curtains. Keeping your curtains closed traps heat inside - and the thicker the curtains, the more effective they’ll be in keeping the heat in. And whilst on the topic of heat, don’t overfill the kettle when heating up water for tea or coffee. Only place as much water as you need in the kettle, foregoing superfluous energy use in the kitchen.

Last, but not least, try to take showers instead of baths. Studies show that taking a five minute shower uses only one fifth of the water that a bath does. And if you pair your shorter showers with an A-rated gas boiler, you’ll save even more energy and reduce your bills.

While looking after the environment is ultimately a huge task, we can all do our part at home to ensure we save energy. Indeed, it is possible for anyone to cut energy usage in their home, and contribute to a happier, healthier planet.

The two golden rules of travel can be summarised by the following mantra: work out how much money you think you will need then double it, and work out how much stuff to take and halve it. And to an extent this is true; holidays invariably end up costing much more than planned, and sometimes an entire suitcase of clothes can go unworn, in favour of that one top that just looks oh-so-good.

But for a lot of people, holidays are for kicking back and letting loose so why shouldn’t they pack an entire wardrobe, because “you never know”? The old cliche about taking thirteen pairs of shoes on a 4-day break may cause a lot of mirth for the more compact traveller, but “holidaying heavy” can have a more serious consequence for the environment.

Most airlines have a standard baggage allowance and anything over that amount is charged back to the customer. However, some airlines now charge for any checked luggage, citing environmental reasons; more luggage means more fuel and more fuel means more carbon emissions and subsequently less ice at the two poles. So, travelling light might actually be a good idea after all, not only for the environment but for the wallet too.

Holidaymakers can also take other small steps to help combat climate change. For example, whilst on holiday, consider whether it is really necessary to hire a car. Maybe the public transport system is perfectly adequate to meet most people’s needs. Even when travelling to the airport before departure, it’s worth considering the bus or train as an option first, saving on the cost of parking and reducing the impact on the environment at the same time.

This is particularly relevant for early morning flights at provincial airports, where public transport may be a little more restricted, especially in the small hours. Rather than getting up at four or five am, it may be wiser to travel the day before at a leisurely pace and stay at an airport hotel, meaning more sleep and less stress when getting that flight, and it also allows more time to eat a proper breakfast and even shop for flight essentials such as magazines and refreshments. Ultimately, it also means more time to enjoy the holiday without feeling jaded or jet-lagged on arrival.

Never has the environment and climate change been so much at the forefront of people’s psyche. Small changes to individual travel habits can have a massive impact if everybody is involved, and the changes can actually enhance the whole holiday experience. So kick back, let loose and lose some shoes. Three pairs is more than enough!

A monographic assay

“Education and Learning estimate studies that they search to explain the relations between pedagogical knowing and scientific knowing in the construction of making didactic, that they critically analyze the perspective of ” to learn to learn”. (Anastasiou &Pepper, 2002, P. 55)

The world if finds immersed in an intense phase of educational reforms, all justified in the deep social changes that occur ahead of the speed with that the information is transmitted and spread out, followed of the technological increment, as much in national scope, as international.

Opposite to this scene, to rethink the formation of the professor, in its dimensions, continued initial and, represents for the educators instituted aspirings and, a great challenge, in virtue of the latent insatisfação concerning the effective models, especially in the Courses of Licenciatura. But, as occurs the formation of professors in times contemporaries, and, which are the canals formadores of these professionals?

The recent reforms in the Brazilian education, more specifically in the formation of professors, reflect a “certain ousadia”, but they are not generating, of consistent form, proposals that exceed the level of abstract recommendations, and, when this of form sucinta occurs, they represent incompatible recommendations with the true necessities for the efficient formation of professors. On such insufficience, Noronha discourses:

“The current reforms are bold textualmente and with certainty, sufficiently they are based, in what it says respect to the organization of the knowledge in the schools, however, at no moment they point with respect to the institution of one serious politics and effective of formation of professors”. (Noronha, 2001, P. 44).

The effective scene is propitious to excite definitive considerações concerning the initial formation of professors, for frank performance in the Country. They are emergenciais, as much in legal terms, how much in educational research and theories, improvements in the teaching professional performance concerning its craft stop with as the cycle of basic education and average education, objectifying the work, the creation, the reflection on the practical one of the professor, and its consequent redirecionamento. The ideal on the teaching work can be pautado in the incentive to the independent thought, in the potencialização of abilities, the development of abilities, amongst others, but it will be that the professor in its cuts molded poor, was prepared for so great accomplishments? How, and where perspective it was formed?

The process contained in “innovating in education”, has collective individual matrix/of analysis of the Real, of what it is pressing, of what needs modifications, objectifying to make possible the children, young and adults the right to the integral development as human beings and citizens, through the school. It means a commitment in “making together with”, and with the purpose of imposed modifications vertically, from top to bottom, not considering professors as mere laborers executors of determination other people’s, and, therefore, responsible individual and solitary for the gotten results.

If it makes pressing, therefore, the development of research directed to the pedagogical field of the professionals who form professors, investigating the pedagogical knowledge, with emphasis in the vision of the professor for its concepts of education and educational context and what thinks on the participation of its disciplines and the theoretical and practical relation in the process education/learning, with sights to the formation of the professor.

The educator can constitute the object in such a way, how much the citizen. While object suffers the action from the time and the social movements, without assuming the conscience and the paper to intervene with this process. While subject, it constructs in set with other citizens, its attitudes a historical project directed toward contribution in the formation of the individual, that in education terms if translates and if it executes in a pedagogical project. Therefore, to contribute of consistent form in the formation of the educator, position of citizen, and not of object, the professor must prevent an authoritarian position, adopting a auxiliador position so that the citizen can opposite acquire a critical attitude to the world, in such a way qualifies that it to act ahead next to other human beings of the educative process.

Experts are predicting that climate change is going to reshape investment returns and investment opportunities over the next few years. With eleven of the last 12 years ranking as the warmest on record, people have to face up to the fact that global warming is happening and will have an effect on everyone.

While people are facing up to the realities of global warming investment opportunities are going to be popping up all over the place. This is because new technologies and going to be developed in a bid to slow down global warming and people will have no choice but to use these new tools.

In the northern hemisphere, summers are now one and a half months longer than they were a couple of decades ago. It is also feared that if Iceland’s ice sheet melts, sea levels will rise by seven metres which will wipe out a lot of Pacific islands and reshape the coasts of other countries.

These climate changes mean that the world needs new technology to deal with preventing further damage very quickly. Companies are likely to introduce new ways of producing cleaner energy and using it more efficiently. This is going to provide great investment opportunities as everyone will be desperate to get their hands on new technology that does such things.

Australia is one of the biggest culprits of greenhouse emitters followed by the United States and Canada. Experts believe that countries such as Russia and Canada will enjoy longer growing sessions and will be able to produce food more efficiently while other countries will have their production slashed by long droughts and lack of irrigation water. Weather patterns will also be more volatile and unpredictable which will cause problems for growing crops.

Some people believe that climate change is going to present the biggest investment opportunities of a lifetime and be even bigger than rapid technological changes. Carbon trading, which is due to begin after 2012 will create a whole new asset class for investors to comprehend and will feature as a factor in company financials.

It is very likely that energy and water prices will go up which means that water saving devises will be in high demand. This will make good investment opportunities for people wishing to put their money in this industry. Water recycling and desalination plants will have to be built and homes and offices will need to become more energy efficient providing yet more investment opportunities.

These developments are very likely to have an effect on companies and investment returns in years to come as new products are development and investment opportunities created.

Many people throughout the world have been conditioned into believing the unproven theory that global warming is caused by mans’ industrial activities. However the opponents of this theory point to instances in the past when global warming, without the influence of man, did take place.

The scientific community agree that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old and during that time its accepted as a known scientific fact that it’s undergone at least 12, and possibly 14 major periods of climate change. In addition to this there have been numerous minor changes to the earth’s climate.

The information about pre-man climate changes has come from studying ice cores and from sophisticated scientific investigation involving many branches of science. However some of these minor changes have occurred within the life-time of man and have been recorded over time.

The existence of these major and minor periods of climate change is not in doubt; what is open to speculation and controversy are the causes.

On this, the Scaremongers remain totally silent: they are emphatic that mans’ industrial activity and the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of any climate change taking place at the moment, but would have to agree that industrial activity could not have caused the start of a period of climate change 5,000 years ago.

In 1991 the body of a man was found in the European Alps in the border regions of Austria and Italy. He was said to have died about 5,000 years ago whilst crossing the Alps. From this two facts can be determined: man at that time knew he could cross the Alps; secondly this feat was possible because of the absence of snow and ice at lower altitudes.

2800 years later occurred the first recorded historical event involving man crossing the Alps. That was Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps with an army, including elephants, to wage war on the Roman Empire. This event was clearly documented at the time and is today accepted as a historical fact.

When this event was taking place, the snowline of the Alps was estimated to be in the region of 1,800 to 2,000 meters above sea level. Until recently the Alpine snowline was approximately 1,500 meters above sea level. What this means is that in modern times the level above the sea at which snow falls and lies on the ground is about 300 to 500 meters lower than when Hannibal achieved his feat. So during the past 2200 years the earth’s temperature has fallen to enable snow and ice to settle at these lower altitudes. However in Hannibal’s time and the centuries earlier going back to 3,000 BCE the air temperature was considerably warmer that it is today.

From this scientists know that the world’s climate has changed over the past 5,000 years. So what’s caused this change?

The activities of Man? Unlikely.

The work of Nature or the Almighty? Probably.

Is there a definite answer? No.

Lets now look at more recent times and consider the recorded history of events that took place in London.

Between 1660 and 1820 is was quite a common occurrence for the river Thames to freeze over; not every year, but certainly enough for people at that time to make comments. Since the mid 19th century the Thames has rarely been frozen, certainly never in recent memory. So the question needs to be answered: what caused the warming of the air from 1820 onwards?

At the same period of time from 1660, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia was subject to stress caused by an event that lasted 20 years. Coral has characteristics not unlike that of trees. Rings in a piece of sliced coral tell the story of climatic events long ago. A piece of coral collected off the coast of northern Australia has recently been examined and it shows the effects of drought in the region. Lack of fresh water, and therefore the absences of nutrients, coming from the nearby rivers would affect the growth of the coral and would be noticed in examining the rings. The coral showed a period of about 20 years of severe drought in this region.

In the years since then the reef has made a full recovery, although it may be suffering now.

The ‘Yes’ case points to the decline in coral reefs as an example of global warming, but ignore the fact that Nature has the remarkable capacity to rejuvenate stressed coral.

The known history of the world has numerous events that took place long ago that couldn’t happen now:

1) The indigenous people of Australia came from SE Asia via a continuous land mass leading from the Malay peninsula, through Indonesia, New Guinea, and into northern Australia.

2) The native Indians of north America are thought to have entered the continent about 10,000 years ago via the land mass across the Bering Straits. That feat couldn’t be achieved today.

3) Likewise the original inhabitants of the UK are thought to have come from Europe via the land mass that connected mainland Europe to Britain. This is now covered by the English Channel.

From these events of long ago, its plain to see that sea levels rose covering once-accessible traffic routes.

And the most likely causes of the rise in sea levels - global warming causing polar ice-caps to melt. But what could have caused this? Well definitely not man’s industrial activity. So it must have been the action of Nature, or the Almighty.

That being the case, isn’t it more likely that if global warming is taking place today, it’s being caused by the same influence that caused the previous periods of climate change?

This is a look at the international controversy concerning the cause of climate change, and an attempt to put some balance into the argument.

In an examination of the international controversy that is climate change and global warming, there are two conflicting positions and interest groups - the Scaremongers who fully support the theory, and the Idealists who want more concrete evidence. However in Australia much of the so-called support for the ‘Yes’ case is based on distorted information, untruths, and naked lies.

Of all the countries in the western world, Australia is the one that suffers most from the vagaries of the weather. At any one time, part of the country experiences drought. At the moment large parts of inland Australia on the Pacific side of the country are experiencing this problem whilst other areas are enjoying more favorable conditions.

The Scaremongers believe the present drought is the worst ever - it may be the worst in living memory, but it’s not the worst since European civilization started in 1788. The Federation drought of 1895 to 1903 is considered to be the one that caused the most damage to the economy and life in general.

The farming community in rural Australia accept drought as a normal aspect of life. Since the 1860s there have been 9 periods of major and prolonged drought covering large areas of the country, excluding the current situation. In addition there has been 6 droughts during this period covering smaller regions of the country.

During the periods of pre-European settlement, that is pre-1788, when industrial pollution could not have caused greenhouse gases and therefore affected climate change, droughts were just as prevalent. Examination of rings on trees and coral support this view. In fact examination of a piece of coral taken from the Barrier Reef in northern Australia shows that there was a drought in that region lasting 20 years from 1660.

However, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that droughts are a regular occurrence of Australian farming life, the media still push the line that the present drought is caused by global warming. Even the saner and more responsible parts of the press insist that Australia’s current predicament is being exacerbated by the government’s late signing of the Kyoto agreement.

Just more unsupported distortions of the truth from the people who are happiest when they’re dispelling doom and gloom.

Droughts in Australia are caused by, and have always been caused by, the activity of the El Nino Southern Oscillation - ELSO. This is a complex weather pattern that influences climatic conditions throughout the Pacific region. This phenomenon only became known in the late 70s and although much more work needs to be done to understand its complexity, weather scientists are now able to determine the influence it has on countries bordering the south Pacific fairly accurately.

However, the average man in the street now believes changes in climatic conditions in Australia are caused by global warming, rather than the more likely affect of the ELSO. Aided by the local media who attribute every unusual circumstance to world-wide global warming, from the increase in bush-fires to the desalination problems of the River Murray to the decline in coral growth on the Great Barrier Reef, the gullible public blindly follow what they’ve been told.

So successful are the Scaremongers in Australia that 2 out of 3 people writing letters to the press and web sites vigorously support the concept of man-made global warming. In actual fact, Australia’s last Federal election, in November 2007, was won by the party most vocal in supporting this theory. A gullible public were frightened into voting for a party that claimed to be able to play God.

As an indication of the untruths and down right lies coming from the Australian Scaremongers camp, consider this gem - taken from the very best Joseph Goebbels propaganda manual:

…but in 2007 our Prime Minister still finds it hard to accept the possible existence of a human driven climate change.

Taken from http://home.iprimus.com.au/foo7/droughthistory.html

So what this web site, and other similar ones, is saying is that every climatic disaster that’s occurred in the last 50 to 100 years has been caused by man-made climate change, but they don’t know what caused climatic disasters before that.

Quite plain and simple, an increase in greenhouse gases by the burning of fossil fuels, allegedly causing climate change cannot be proven or supported by the sparse facts presented by its gullible supporters. Hysteria outweighs credible facts.

Many of you might not associate climate change with the effect it has on our wildlife and particularly birds.

In the UK, last summer was the hottest in the since 1976. Then followed by another extremely mild Autumn.

This could have a massive impact on the birds you usually see in your gardens. If it’s not cold enough to trigger their migration they might not fell the urge to make that journey.

Over the next few years, we might take for granted seeing more unusual birds searching for food rather than our childhood friends.

It has been noted, for example, that Starlings are disappearing. Their sudden disappearance in winter is thought to be because a major roost site has become unavailable to the birds and, in turn, forcing them to relocate.

Undoubtedly, climate change is the greatest long term threat to wildlife that we have. As with everything on the Earth, everything has a knock on effect on something else. And so on it goes.

Another reason to take the bull by the horns as it where, and think green in our day to day lives.

Once we realise the birds from our childhoods aren’t visiting us anymore. It will be too late. They won’t be coming back.

Are the Robin Red-Breast’s days numbered? We very much hope not…

An in-depth investigation of the pros and cons of man-made climate change must focus principally on the claims made by the Scaremongers - the supporters of this theory. The onus of proof has to be supplied by them. So far they’ve produced no sound evidence for that nor have they answered their critics.

In spite of the failed climate change theory of the 70s when many eminent scientists were predicting a colder future for the world, the ‘Yes’ case scientists and others cannot come up with any plausible data to emphatically prove their present position. They believe that if the UN says so, then it must be right, ignoring the fact that the UN has time and time again proved that it’s completely out of its depth when it comes to dealing with serious issues.

Some of the issues ignored by the Scaremongers:

1) By general scientific consensus there has been at least 12 major periods of climate during the life of the earth. All have been part of the earth’s natural life cycle. That being the case, why should the present period of global warming (if proven to be true) be anything other than a continuation of past events caused by Nature? If the first 12 were caused by Nature, why should the 13th be caused by man?

2) The UN in their reports on global warming skim over the huge contribution to the increase in greenhouse gases by the under-developed countries - deforestation and population growth. Why?

3) The ‘Yes’ people insist that global warming has been going on for at least a century, possibly 150 years. What they can’t tell us is if this is unusual. They just don’t have any figures to suggest that nothing like this has ever happened before. In fact the current figures of world temperature cannot be compared to the figure of 50 years ago because of the more sophisticated instruments in use today. So how can a comparison be made with figures from the 1850s or further back in time?

4) Scientists supporting the ‘Yes’ case point to the increase in carbon dioxide over the past 50 years. What does this mean? How does it compare to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, 10,000 years ago? They just don’t know with any degree of certainty. So they cannot really say whether the earth is on the verge of a climatic crisis or whether Nature is just making the sort of minor adjustment that’s been made since time began.

5) The Scaremongers base their whole argument on the theory that increasing CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to an increase in world-wide temperatures. They have yet to explain the situation that occurred between 1940 and 1975 when the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increased, but temperatures throughout the world declined.

6) History has shown that melting of the ice-caps, and the lowering and raising of the snow-line of mountain ranges has been occurring from time to time. There is nothing unusual about the current melting of the polar regions - so why do the Scaremongers predict the worst because of this?

In the days of primitive man it was common for unusual natural phenomena to be accorded a special place in their lives. Early man didn’t know what caused rain, so they invented there own reason. They ascribed it to the work of a Rain God. There was a god of thunder, fire, a god who controlled eclipses, a god for everything.

Today man doesn’t know why the earth’s temperature is rising, if indeed it has been rising. So like early man, they come up with a theory that seemingly may answer their questions but bears no relevance to reality.

Now into this intellectual vacuum created by the ‘Yes’ people steps the sort of person who cannot resist making this issue a personal crusade. Enter a politician, or should I say a failed politician. Enter Al Gore, the champion global warming theorist.

A man who thinks he has the power to halt and then reverse the work of Nature, or for the religious person, God, Allah, Jehovah etc. A man who thinks he’s on a divine mission to help people saves themselves from themselves. A man who uses all sorts of lies, subterfuge, distortions to get his theory accepted. A man appealing to the gullible nature of people. A man using his political skill to deceive and distort. A politician being a politician.

In situations of uncertainty, being fearful of what may happen in the future, most people will grasp at anything that points the way to safety. And so it is with the theory that we’re all doomed unless we make radical changes to our way of life. In situations such as this, some politicians will always seek to gain an electoral advantage.

Pressured by minority interest groups that want their positions accepted, politicians feel compelled to give the electorate what they want. Instead of leading from the front, politicians are more than happy to jump on the band wagon driven by the media. Power hungry politicians are at the vanguard of this controversial theory. And on the flimsiest of data, they could bring economic disaster on the world, because the remedial actions they propose will involve the expenditure of vast amounts of money. Money that could be spent to fix some of the more serious problems of the world.

The major issue the Idealists have about the incessant and unproven warnings from those who believe implicitly in the theory of man-made global warming is that this is not the most important threat to the future of mankind.

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

That position is held by the threat of the declining sperm count of males in western countries. This is a problem of such magnitude that it has the ability to devastate the world’s population within a few generations.
