EVOLUTION
AND THE FUTURE
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Belgrade, Serbia, October 14-18
2009
 
The conference was devoted to evolution in biology and human society, in particular to Darwin-ism, political Darwinism, to ethics  and new insight in the biological evolution.











ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable energy, good for the climate and an alternative
to the declining resources of fossil fuels is promoted in many
countries, but for political and economical reasons the practice
stays behind of what would be necessary. After the disappoin-
ting results of the Copenhagen conference, the control on our
climate remains questionable, in spite of important efforts made
in various countries. Papers below show forms of renewable
energy and discuss the political problems and arguments.
