16. Global warming


Climate change is the biggest environmental problem nowadays. Global warming causes the spread of new diseases, the extinction of many species and the occurrence of more and more dangerous natural phenomena. What is more, in South Korea and Taiwan trade is called a ‘toxic trade‘ (Dickens 2003:570). The fast-developing technologies produce huge pollutions. Other serious environmental issue is the fact of killing dolphins which swim together with tuna. That was the reason for inventing dolphin safe labels for canned tuna, such as United States Department of Commerce, The Flipper Seal of Approval or Greenseas.
We are all responsible! After 10 years, many areas may disappear under the water. But we don't care...
Maybe it is just a normal thing, it is too dangerous as a smoking which may kill - we cannot thing about such a bad things so we are trying to forget or to trivialize them.
