Last Saturday H.Clinton attacked B.Obamabecause she thinks the methode about B.obama are not good, she said "the U.S.A need a new president for listening her".
Barack Obama responded "his methdode are realy normal". The next meeting may be unrmitting for the victories to affront John Mc Cain. In the republican party the struggle is less heavy than democrate party.
Why the battle is hard?
The battle between H.Clintonand B.Obama is hard because B.Obama refused to be his vice president to H.Clinton. B.Obama said "he make it to the end and he will imposed his methode for the U.S.A.
As a conclusion the battle for the democrate party's is not finished.

what will happen(ed) if we do not act ?
the earth got warme(d)r (it self) about 0,6°C during these last 100 years. During this periode, the synthetic programs of greenhouse gas (about) augmented, to a great extent owing to the scald of fossil fuels and deforestation. During these last 20 years, the anxiety according to which these two phenomena would be, at last partly, linked mutually, augments.

Who's in danger ? Us or our planet ...

Artic ice-field could disappear the summer of the 15 next years(cstruction). Besides, in Western Europe, it will occur(e) an upset climatic(cstr) because of Global Warming.
Fisrt, the rising sea level is already very important. Hopefully, weirs have stopped about 30 millimeters of water since the beginning of sixties. But, will they be strong enough for the next 10 years ?(+)
The average rate of melting has more than doubled between 2004 and 2006. Glaciers continue to melt faster and faster since 1980, they've lost 11.5 meters of thickness. To focus(e) on the shelf of Wilkins, an enormous piece og ice, equivalent of about four times the acrease of Paris, began to collapse under the effect of global warming; has indicated the National Snow and Ice Data Center.(plus haut dans ta phrase) "Millions of people depend directly (ordre) or indirectly on these natural water reserves for :
-drinking water,
-farming,
-industry,
-production of electric energies," have told Achim Steiner, the general secretary of the United Nations.Unfortunately, Humankind aren't (isn't) the only one who suffer because of global warming.

"1500 babies seals borned these (over the) last weeks on the seacosts of the Baltic sea, threatened to freeze to death. As a matter of fact, because of the too fast(such a rapid) melt(ing) of ice, mothers can't bury their babies in an ice nest to protect them during their first weeks of life. This period is essential because it allows babies to constitute a grease layer which will cover them against (the) cold temperatures ", that's what declared the association WWF in a press release, published on Monday, 10th March.(ordre)
What(which) leads me to think that on these seacosts, it would be (is) possible that none of the babies seals borned (over ) the(se) last weeks will (would) survive.
To conclude, I would say (that) if we don't react, we will take our planet to her (the) ruin !

Electing a good president: So difficult...
In accordance with the poll, 29% of democrats, eletors could create a ticket which seemed like Hillary Clinton for their president and Barack Obama for the vice president 44% of the electors value that this "ticket" could be satisfactory...
For a ticket with Obama as president and Clinton as vice president 30% of the electors would prefer this like First choice and 45% consider that the hypothesis could be good...
The ancient president Bill Clinton have (tps +accord) a new thout (orth) that a "ticket" with the names of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would constitute "a force which almost nothing could stop"

Our Planet is Drowning !

The warming is caused by men's relentless consumption.
As a result, it brings out the (melting of) ice and glaciers(' melt) and (the) (great)a huge ris(e)ing of the sea level.
Glaciers had started melting before 1980. From 1980 to 1999, they had lost an average of about a foot of ice per year. However, since the turn of the millenium, the average loss has increased to about 20 inches.
Actually, 2006 was the year ice loss reached record levels with 4.9 feet on average.
Furthermore, the Occidental part of the Antarctic(a) peninsula has memorized the greatist temperature rise of the planet with 0.5 °C every 10 years.
The melting of glaciers is (making the most noise) wreaking havoc (= faire des ravages) and people don't seem to realize that the matter is absolutely momentous ; these meltings will be causing tremendous floods.
Within decades, many of the glaciers could disappear.
Within years, cities such as Calcutta, Shanghaï, Manhattan or San Francisco might be under water.

Super biofuels, super starvation !

What should we do?
If we keep using oil, there will be more and more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, glaciers will melt, there will be big storms, temperatures will rise . . .
And there will be oil shortage.
So we have to use biofuels.
But, if everyone can't eat enough, and if there are bad harvests today, (how) what will we do when biofuels will be widely commercialized ?
It needs a lot of cereals, and about 4000 liters of water to produce one liter of bio-ethanol.
So, biofuels contribute to the food rising costs, and this increase penalizes the population.
In addition, they contribute to the deforestation : when they gain some lands and make them suitable for cultivation, they aggravate (the) pollution.
Today, we can't be sure that biofuels are the best solutions to preserve the Earth. We still have to work on biotechnologies.

Global warming; cataclysmic or not?
If we don't make a choice we'll help you(construction?). But before we must have some information; from when? How? What can we do to stop it?
(The) global warming sowed doubt for scientists twenty years ago. they asked themselfs(orth):"Is it sober?(sens???) What is going to take place?". And with the time, these questions were transformed in affirmations and certainties.
At the source(origin) of (the) global warmingn, there is us! Us with our factories units, with our cars, with our inventions and more globaly(generally) us with our envy for progress, to product more and espetially to have more money and power. We laugh at consequences, only (the) profit acount.(counts)
For stop it, every one 'll(tps) say:"Do not use your car, do economies and think economies.". But the Earth will take centuries of years to be "clean"again.We must find something radical, but what?
Chineses make a machine who(which) casts a chimic product who(which) dissipates clouds. So if they find the opposite they'll (can )do rain. And with luck (luckily)they'll can cool down the Earth. But it's imposible we can't cool down the Earth with an air conditioning. So now we don't know what to do. You just can do what every body'll (tps = present) says.

The "trifling" thruth. Are you sure ?
Global warming is the cause of the melting of glaciers, the rising sea level, the disappearing of animals species ... But who(what) is the cause of global warming ?
According to (the) most (of) scientists, global warming is due (of) to human technologies which pollute with emission.The Ozone layer which protects the Earth from dangerous rays of the sun, contains so much smog that his (its) temprature r(a)ises gradually. That's why glaciers break down and melt causing floodings. But global warming has an impact on the date of agricultural harvestings too. For example, in Burgundy, the dates of wine harvest are often more early tha(t)n the last years.
Beside this a study published in 2005 shows that on the whole the intensity of cyclones had(has)augmented (instead of) whereas the number of cyclones had(has) decreased.
To conclude, Earth needs help and we must change our behavior so that the situation improves.

Black man or White woman?
Since 1988, the white house had only known a Bush-Clinton dinasty. The "white men's power" had never been challenged. But this year, two new cases were presented and broke the laws of presidency.
Barack Obama is a 46 years old young black man that had emerged as the best contender of these elections. By the medias device, the social-climber had charmed a good part of the USA. Hillary Clinton is a 60 years old white woman, one of the most powerful first lady America had never experienced and comprehensively quite traditional and classic.
American people are under obama' s charm because they gave in him a hope of novelty for their country. But what is the source of this enthousiast? Some democrats said that: "If Obama was white, he would not be in this position of leader and if he was a woman, neither would he. He is lucky to be what he is." We are talking about Obama' s suspicious origines but Hillary is a woman and we don' t point it out as much. As long as a black will not be president, there will always be people to think it' s impossible.
Medias made of him their favourite beause nobody could embody modernity better than him. "He is the new generation", said recently the New York Times. But despite his attractive profile, Clinton is ahead in opinion polls.
All in all, the two democrat candidates are really neck and neck and they are both leading to an important community: black people and women. This specificity will bring them a downright help all along their campain. As a conclusion, Americans will have to make an important choice, at a critical point in America' s economic history.

A little heatwave : I don't think so .

What will happen if we don't change our behavior ? What should we do to protect the planet ?
Since the twentieth century, the scientists have recorded temperatures and the warmest year of all was 2005. The situation is alarming and the time is counted. If nobody reacts, all the ice floe will melt and the sea level will rise: as a consequence, the countries like Florida, Shangai or New-York will be under water. Everywhere the temperatures are increasing and it provokes lots of storms and hurricanes, especially in United-States.
We must use more green energies and less cars which pollute and product greenhouse gas. But on the top of this, each one must reduce his energy consumption.
We have to act together if we want to save to save our planet.

Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama : possible or not?

Remember ,when the ex-first lady asked(tps) Obama to be her vice president exchanging to stoping the race.(pourquoi un point??? la phrase doit continuer!)
Obama refused and exclaimed that he would be president and that he would make it to the end of the elections.
Opinion clearly demonstrated that if there was a democrat ticket it would be Obama-Clinton,the numbers are more telling:45% said that Obama-Clinton was acceptable against only 30% for Clinton-Obama.

But ,the chief question, is (what) which order (way)?
Nearly 1/4 of the population think that a ticket Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama is inacceptable.1/3 of Obama' s suporters and 1/3 of Clinton' s can' t bear this questions,they don t care.
Now,difficulties appear:
On the one hand, the race between the two candidates makes forget the republicans,John Mccain has already won,and he is preparing for the next elections between democrats and republicans.And on the other hand,the problem is if Clinton would come to won(win), young black people could restrain themselves to vote,and it could "open doors" to Mccain.And if it was Obama,old white women would noy vote for Obama.
"He isn't here to be vice president!"
The ex and recognize president,Bill Clinton said to the medias that a ticket Clinton-Obama would make them "strong",anyone could stop them!"
Obama yelled that he would go to h=the end and wouldn't let Clinton be president of USA.He said"i' m not here to become vice president,i'm the future president."
