We are already living with climate changes, and the violent manifestations of the climate occure in every moment on the Globe, generating dramatic changes in the peoples' life, bringing suffering and death, causing large migrations, and amplifying, together with the drastic decrease of fossil energy resources - the danger of vaste proportions military conflicts.
