I think a huge proportion of the ppl on this planet would strongly oppose International Abductions and Forced Child Labour. However if we are talking about politically this is a very different issue.

I think a considerable proportion in the West and a good proportion of scientifically educated ppl in the 3rd World would agree that Global warming is ocurring. I think any lingering doubts about this have been vanquished in the last couple of years. It is only the huge multi billion pound organisations who will deny this because there is no direct scientific evidence to prove this and they know that it would take at least another fifty years to prove this without any doubt.

There is however DIRECT proof that CFC's caused the depletion of the ozone layer. Indeed the ozone layer has been shown to have grown so big that it has spread to some of the southern most cities of South America.

However there has been recent STRONG evidence saying that there has been a significant improvement in the ozone levels surrounding the earth and scientists believe that the hole will be filled within the next 50 years.

We wont see a reduction in the size of the hole for the next three years however. This provides CONCLUSIVE proof thaT with global cooperation that we CAN do something to save this planet.

The CFC emissions in Europe has reduced by about 90% in the USA it has reduced by a similar amount. In Japan it has reduced by 100%. In Australia it has also reduced by a considerable amount. In the developing countries the reduction in CFC's in the past decade has been less marked but we have managed to reverse the trend.

We could have a similar effect with global cooperation for global warming. It's believed that CO2 gases are the principal pollutant for global warming. If the large industrial countries particularly the US who produce more than a third of the worlds CO2 emissions could reduce such emissions then we could reverse the trend.

However as we (Europe)failed to reach agreement in principle with the US in Brussels last month because Madam wot's-her-face, the environment minister for France, wouldn't agree to the proposals it is quite possible that we may never reach agreement about this.

It wasn't her fault though because Prescott negotiated a deal with the US which would have allowed the US to pump out MORE CO2 emissions.

In the World Summit in Kyoto two years ago it took a lot of hard work to get the US to agree to reduce emissions by a measly 7%.

The problem now is that the US now have a new president and when they next meet in March the political angle has massively changed. Becos Bush is a bit thick and he's Republican he wont want to upset his financial backers by trying to save the world.
