Environment Epilogue

It is well documentedEpilogue that the semiconductor industry has enormous effect on the environment, and more recently the flagship of the environmental problem is global climate change. The globe is gradually getting warmer with an estimated increase of 1.5–2 cC per year in temperature of the globe. Scientists claim that all man-made, self-destructing acts might set in within the next 20–30 years. This is an optimistic approximation, but people of realism expect it to occur much sooner.
