Currently, the rate of climate change ahead of all previous predictions. The Arctic does not reflect, and absorb heat, and ice melts, accelerating global warming. Ban Ki-moon stressed that inaction in this situation is impossible and called on States to expedite negotiations on a new climate change agreement. The Secretary-General called on States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and take course to a green economy. Biofuels from watermelons U.S. researchers suggest using discarded because of cosmetic defects watermelons for the production of biofuels – fuels on the basis of alcohols from natural sources, which for the sake of reducing emissions are trying to replace gasoline. Juice discarded watermelons, which account for about 20%, is a source of readily fermentable sugars, which is still Unused stock for ethanol production for biofuels.

Scientists' calculations showed that the manufacturing process which would give 0.4 grams of ethyl alcohol from 1 gram of sugar per hectare plantation can 'collect' 220 liters of ethanol. Over the boreal forest looming environmental threat of taiga forests, which account for approximately one-third of the world's forests are in ecological danger. Taiga, which covers large areas of Russia, Canada, and the Scandinavian countries and plays an important role in bridging the greenhouse effect and global warming is now rapidly declining and degrading in its composition. If you previously at the taiga because of its located in the harsh climatic conditions did not affect the human influence, but now due to increased human needs taiga forests are cut down mercilessly.

And it is said that capitalism was moving through these crises, which occur roughly every ten years. What we see today is a crisis that occurs once a century. In intensity, it is similar to the 1929. You will probably have serious social consequences in the real economy. The crisis of capitalism is comprehensive and we cannot see it only in some lines. It covers the financial crisis, the crisis of the food sector (rise of food prices), energy crisis (rise in the price of oil, the conversion of food into biofuels), the ecological crisis (pollution of the planet), the aggressive imperialist foreign policy crisis, ideological crisis, moral crisis, the crisis of governance. It is obvious that the crisis affects the global economy and not only to the United States. As the leader of the Cuban revolution Fidel Castro reflected: we have a capitalist general crisis, the first of a magnitude comparable to that exploded in 1929 and the long call Depression of 1873-1896.

A civilizational, multidimensional, comprehensive crisis whose duration, depth and geographic scope shall surely be of greater wingspan than which preceded the Wall Street crisis is impacting in Latin America. The region that managed to grow thanks to changes in its policies and favourable economic conditions a 6.1% in 2004, 4.8% in 2005, 5.6% in 2006 and 5.7% in 2007 will grow in 2008 no more than 4.5%, and in 2009, according to forecasts, less than 2.5%. According to Bernardo Kliksberg, UNDP Principal Adviser for Latin America, in his column what he thinks Latin America on the global crisis, the international crisis is a where Latin America despite the economic progress the reduction of poverty and inequality has been slow. Latin America and the Caribbean are still vulnerable to external shocks and are in situations of uncertainty the new scenario, primarily with regard to the security food stocks, said the UN Organization for agriculture and food (FAO) in information published by Adital.
