MASS-MEDIA: IZVESTIYA - WARMTH AND SCARED!
Strongest floods and typhoons, expanding deserts and conflicts because of the scarcity of fresh water – it is a possible scenario of effects of global climate change. Symptoms of this planetary disease already are visible in many areas: natural disasters are becoming more destructive and increasingly occur. In Kazakhstan, fortunately, the effects of global warming are not so obvious. But in the future climate change will be more dramatic and dangerous to all spheres of life of Kazakhstan’s people.

- 187 countries meeting in Bali on Saturday agreed to launch negotiations towards a crucial and strengthened international climate change deal.
The decision includes a clear agenda for the key issues to be negotiated up to 2009. These are: action for adapting to the negative consequences of climate change, such as droughts and floods; ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; ways to widely deploy climate-friendly technologies and financing both adaptation and mitigation measures.
