20. Big Challenge!!!! Global warming has a major influence on world pollution and has been described as a ticking active bomb. It might seem that there is no stopping its onslaught and although in some respects this might be partly true, it is certainly possible to slow the process down. Time is fairly short, but if the nations of the world took a united stand to cut greenhouse emissions this would certainly be a major step in the right direction.
