GREECE SEEN FACING BLEEK CLIMATE CHANGE:
http://www.enn.com/ecosystems/article/31620

Droughts, desertification, rising sea levels, higher temperatures and damage to agriculture-Greece is facing it all, if not now then it could be soon. The cities of Thessaloniki and Messolongi will most likely be under water. The temperature in the Mediterranean has risen 1 percent, as compared to 0.74 globally. Greece's rainfall has fallen 30% since the 1970's. The animal and plant life are also showing change, with birds flying farther north in the winter and viruses and diseases popping up that are not native to Greece.

These possible and already occurring changes make it even more important for Greece to meet it's Kyoto Protocol target.
