As several newspapers, magazines and webpages reported criminals have found a lag in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme. They steal certificates of a value of more than a million Euros. In consequence of this the European Commission exposes the European Union Emission Trading Scheme. | As several newspapers, magazines and webpages reported criminals have found a lag in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme.

It happens because a group of computer hackers found a way to get access to the certificates of serial companies. The article on Spiegel Online describes that the group steal the certificates of a company in the Czech Republic and sell their certificates to other companies. This is an actual example, which happens in January 2011. <ref> “EU-Kommission stoppt Emissionshandel” http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/0,1518,740462,00.html </ref> | It happens because a group of computer hackers found a way to get access to the certificates of serial companies.

We see the results of the global warming every day. The climate chance is obvious for everybody. The average of temperature rises up and we get more and more extreme weather events. We have melting glaciers and polar bears which are melting and let rise the sea level. All those are consequences of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. The global warming is cause by two groups, the man-made and the natural causes. Some of the natural causes are for example the methane gas from the arctic tundra and wetlands. This greenhouse gas traps heat in the atmosphere. A typical man made problem is the burning of fossil fuels in our transportation vehicles, houses, power plants and factories. Important fossil fuels made of organic matter are oil and coal. The burning of the fuels gives off much carbon dioxide into the earth´s atmosphere. Mining coal give off much methane into the atmosphere. | We see the results of the global warming every day. The climate chance is obvious for everybody.
