Continental Drift - February, 2010
Sunday, February 7th, 2010The earthquake in Haiti, the heavy snows in Europe and North America, and the unusual heavy rain in South America have captured the headlines during the last few weeks. While COP15 may not have been the success that everyone had hoped, it is obvious that climate change is a major issue that faces us all. The politics of this subject uses scepticism as an excuse to avoid action. The truth is that deforestation in the Amazon region is clearly causing heavy rain to fall outside the region - causing havoc in Central, Southern and Eastern Brazil, and Peru.
Our studio continues to be focused on fruit, food and product packshots, with stock being added to our library sites.
Since our last edition of Continental Drift:
