E. whereas according to the scientific evidence presented in the 2014 Working Group reports of the IPCC AR5, warming of the climate system is unequivocal; climate change is occurring, and human activities have been the dominant cause of observed warming since the middle of the 20th century; the widespread and substantial climate-change impacts are already evident in natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans; continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes to the land, atmosphere and oceans in all regions of the globe; all countries, regardless of wealth, will be affected by the ...[+++]impacts of climate change; global greenhouse gas emissions over the period from 2000 to 2010 were the highest in human history; without significant global mitigation action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global average temperature is likely to be as much as 5 °C higher by the end of the century; whereas the IPCC’s findings state that some risks of climate change are considerable and increase disproportionately as temperature increases by between 1 °C and 2 °C;

If the mass destruction and the natural disaster taking place in the depths of the oceans were instead to be taking place - visibly - on land, the debate on the protection of the marine environment would dominate everyday discourse.

The aim is to enlarge the natural area of socio-economic and cultural influence of the outermost regions (including the treatment of questions concerning migratory populations) by reducing the barriers which restrict trade with their geographical neighbours. These regions are very far from the European mainland but very close to the geographical markets of the Caribbean, America and Africa, particularly those of the ACP countries.

The basic story there is that our traditional sources of supply, including the Gulf of Mexico, the mid-continent area in the U.S. and the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin are getting to the point now where their ability to supply new growth is very limited, or, in some cases, actually declining.
