Two Unattended issues

In 2008, i believe we faced two main unattended issues unlike other years. Unfortunately we are not attempting to solve the root cause of these problems, it is fitting case of humans causing damage to fellow humans.... 

The award goes to 

Terrorism - Here humans kill fellow humans in the name of religion, caste, region, cult etc

Global Warming - Here in the name of industrialization or development, we are failing to create healthier world for our future generations.

As they say nature will have its say one day on these issues
