It's pretty obvious that projects and researches all around the world are being put off just because of this global crisis/recession. It's sad to think that just because of this, some things that could have been fixed by now, will become even more dangerous than before. The global warming issue has been put off and is not being mentioned in any government programs (Mr. Obama is trying something, but I doubt he will be very successful)... sad :(
