\"DSC_0132\"<\/h2>\n

The weather doesn’t seem to be sure of\u00a0itself. \u00a0January was about 8 degrees warmer that the average maximum temperature. That was followed by above average temperatures in February and March. \u00a0Yet there are still people who question the effect of global warming on our planet.<\/h2>\n

In this issue of\u00a0Many Roads<\/em>, we have contributors from disparate fields of interest. \u00a0In particular,\u00a0Martin Hird explains\u00a0about the effect of the \u00a0greenhouse gases\u00a0and\u00a0pollution; and alternative methods of providing energy in Europe. \u00a0Tshering Tobgay talks about how Bhutan is not just carbon neutral, but carbon negativ<\/em>e<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n
