Large numbers of population might not be ready to cope with the threat with their natural defenses, or with public health procedures.

		<description><![CDATA[Biodiversity is declining (in quantity and qualtity, i.e. fewer species and fewer individuals) for different reasons including over-use, over-harvesting, misunderstanding and direct destruction. The possible effects will concern at least agriculture (feeding human beings), health and the functioning of more natural ecosystems. It could be important to anticipate a little bit.

Even today, greenhouse producers pump carbon dioxide into their production units to facilitate plant growth, suggesting our current atmosphere is carbon [...]]]></description>
