How Europe can save the world:



Summary :
Will Hutton, in how Europe can save the world, The Observer 11.03.07, says that the EU was founded to make an effort by giving the collective European profits that no one nation could go it alone and these countries are trying to save the world from the climate change because scientific evidence points that it is created by humans . Therefore they have started to reduce using the carbon and increase using the renewable resources like water, clean coal, winds and biofuels, although they are more expensive. Also, the EU intimated that all the new power station must have carbon capture and storage to remove the carbon emissions.
Moreover, the EU has encouraged farmers to plant crops to produce biofuels to push the people away from using fossil fuels.
Now, the EU and the USA are working together to solve this problem and they will have a meeting in Indonesia to start the discussions about what treaty will succeed Kyoto.


Main idea:
Will Hutton, a committed pro-European, says that European countries are trying to reduce the use of the carbon and the harmful resources because they lead to environmental problems such as climate changing and they encourage the people to use the renewable resources to solve this problem. So, the EU has raised the price of carbon to stop the people from using fossil fuels.

My opinion:
From what I read I see that the article was useful and encourages us to help in solving this problem by using less carbon than before; plus it tells the other people about the bad effects of this problem.
However, there are many difficult words and the writing style of the writer was somehow complicated and hard to understand.
