THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING IN CENTRAL AMERICA

The climate of Central America strongly affects social and economic conditions in the region through its impacts on agriculture, tourism, and human health. The impacts of the 1997-98 El Niño Central America provide examples of what future climate warming may bring. During that year, forest fires raged out of control and high sea surface temperatures? bleached? Corals in adjacent seas. Future changes in the frequency of extreme events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts may damage important export crops such as bananas, threaten human settlements on unstable hillsides, and facilitate the outbreak of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
I want to share the following idea with you, and try to put in practice everyday with our friends or our family: “I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do and I UNDERSTAND”; I would like to change the Global Situation, but everybody must have responsibility about this problem. What do u think?

Yes Eliú, you are right! That Chinese proverb teaches so much! We all have to do something to prevent the imminent chaos we are about to live.
EVERYBODY doing little things will have a trememdous paliative impact in the environment!

Well, irresponsability and lack of environmental conciousness are the main causes of global warming... It is like human beings think only in the present, in the actual moment, never in tomorrow and the consequences of their actions...now there is so much to do, and still many people, even countries do not want to open their eyes and see the outcome of having mistreated mother earth...
