"Europa suspende el comercio de CO2 por un robo informático".

hticottp://www.elpais.com/articulo/sociedad/Europa/suspende/comercio/CO2/robo/informatico/elpepusoc/20110120elpepusoc_3/Tes

Me parece muy bien que se suspenda el comercio ya que ha surgido un robo y no se puede perder dinero. Pero creo que se debería poner más seguridad en estos casos tan importantes.

"Las especies invasoras provocaron una extincion masiva".

http://www.elpais.com/articulo/sociedad/especies/invasoras/provocaron/extincion/masiva/elpepusoc/20110104elpepusoc_2/Tes

Pienso que deberiíamos cuidar las especies en epligro de extinción por que algunas se extinguen solas con el paso del tiempo asique habrá que cuidar mas los seres vivos que nos rodean.

 "Pastillas para soportar la vida".

http://www.publico.es/ciencias/357323/pastillas-para-soportar-la-vida
Pienso que estas pastillas se deberían usar solo para los problemas mas importantes que tengmos  y no exagerar las etapas de nuestra vida como la menopausia a no ser que de enfermedades mas impoortantes
pienso que un  caso exagerado es la calvicie ya que es un problema fisico y en el mundo hay enfermedades
mas importantes que un simple hecho de nuestro fisico.


 FEBRERO.

"Inundaciones por nuestra culpa".

Estoy de acuerdo en que la lluevia es bien mal distribuido y que nos hace mucha falta. Pienso que deberiamos cuidar mas el medio ambiente y reducir las emisones de los gases que contaminan nuestra atmosfera y el ambiente en el que vivimos.

"Cancún fue un paso muy pequeño para el planeta"

http://www.elpais.com/articulo/sociedad/Cancun/fue/paso/pequeno/planeta/elpepisoc/20110217elpepisoc_2/Tes

Me gusta la manera en que se han reducido las emisiones y creo que si cada pais pusiese mas de su parte llegariamos a reducir mas del 40º/.
Creo que Cancún ha hecho un gran esfuerzo del que todos deberiamos de tomar ejemplo.
Así podriamos intervenir en mejorar nuestra economía ya que estamos pasando una época de crisis.

"Una empresa de licencias envía 3o.ooo cartas a centros educativos españoles".

http://www.elpais.com/articulo/tecnologia/empresa/licencias/envia/30000/cartas/centros/educativos/espanoles/elpeputec/20110214elpeputec_1/Tes

Estoy en total desacuerdo con la ley Sinde ya que me parece un caso extremo no dejar dar clase con los planes de estudios hechos y prohibir ver películas u obras literarias.
Me parece perfecto que con esas cartas se pueda ver las peliculas  para ampliar las clases y mejorar el estudio de las mismas.
