CLIMATE CHANGE WILL WREAK HAVOC

Catalonia's rainfall will decline because of the climate change and its temperatures will rise by as many as four degrees.
In general, the Mediterranean region is singled out as one of the world's most sensitive to the effects of climate change.
Southern Europe, including Spain, is expected to have more frequent and longer droughts, bringing a greater risk of forest lives and greater health risk due to heat waves.
One consequence for Spain, will be a decline in tourism during the summer and an increase during the spring and autumn.

IMAGES OF BLACK REFLECT LACK OF HISTORICAL AWARENESS

The depiction of black people in Spanish and Catalan advertising and media would get phones rining off the hook in civil rights organisations across the US and the UK.
The African and South American people who came to Catalonia and Spain to have a better life feel discriminated when they see some adverts on TV. Adverts like conguitos and Cola-cao principally.
