Cand se vorbeste despre chestiuni de mediu, politicieni, papagali de pe strada, 
cu toti sunt de acord, in principiu, ca ele sunt importante si foarte 
importante. Dar atunci cand pentru activitatile respective se calculeaza nota 
de plata, atunci... apare o problema. Mare. In acest fel, pana la declararea 
politica a stoparii declinului biodiversitatii europene pana in 2010, totul 
este OK, dar atunci cand trebuie alocate resursele... Pana cand trebuie 
legiferata reteaua ecologica europeana Natura 2000, este OK, dar cine va achita 
nota de plata? La fel, si cu schimbarile climatice, cand vor vedea nota de 
plata estimativa, aceasta factura proforma de peste 1 triliard de euro pentru 
urmatorii 14 ani... cred ca vor avea ceva crampe. Sa nu mai amintesc de 
incompatibilitatea dintre 1. extinderea ariilor cultivate pentru biofuel si a 
fermelor eoliene si 2. conservarea biodiversitatii. Oricum, este frumos 
peisajul :)

  European Union's climate change goals will cost €1 trillion  

· Report outlines daunting task of CO2 targets 
· Insulation more effective than new power stations

  The EU's new climate change goals will cost up to €1.1 trillion (£747bn) to 
implement over the next 14 years, according to a new study.   The most 
comprehensive investigation on managing the economics of climate change paints 
a daunting picture of the EU's plan to decrease greenhouse gases by at least 
20% by 2020.   But the study by the consulting firm McKinsey published in a 
German newspaper yesterday, argues it is both economically and technically 
possible to reduce emissions on schedule, but that the political effort 
necessary will be immense.
