FILE - In this Tuesday June 22, 2010 file photo, South Carolina congressional candidate Bob Inglis speaks to the reporters after his loss in the runoff election to Trey Gowdy in Greenville, S.C. A carbon tax has been revived by some on both right and left spectrum of politics and is suddenly the hot topic of opinion pieces and quiet discussions. "I think the impossible may be moving to the inevitable without ever passing through the probable," said Inglis. The Republican lost his seat in 2010 in a primary fight, partly because acknowledged that global warming exists and needs to be dealt with. Now he heads a new group that advocates a carbon tax and the idea is endorsed by former Ronald Reagan economic adviser Arthur Laffer. (AP Photo/ Richard Shiro)

This Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012 photo shows a boat stranded on the bottom of the dam Paljurci, near Bogdanci in southeastern Macedonia. The Paljurci dam, planned to irrigate land in the surrounding area, is almost empty due to the long period without rain in this Balkan country. This year, farmers all over the Balkans are turning to God for help. After the harshest winter in decades, the Balkans in the southeast of Europe is now facing its hottest summer and the worst drought in what officials across the region say is nearly 40 years. The record-setting average temperatures _ which scientists say have been steadily rising over the past years as the result of the global warming _ have ravaged crops, vegetable, fruit and power production in the region which is already badly hit by the global economic crisis.
