<h2>Answer: False</h2>

The longest river in the world in is the Amazon, located in South America, with a length of 6800 kilometers, compared to 6695 of the Nile River.

It is understandable that for a long time it was believed that it was the Nile. However, a few years ago the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics published an investigation claiming that the Amazon is the longest river in the world.

On the other hand, the Sahara Desert itself is the largest (warm) desert in the world, <u>but</u> the Antartic Desert occupies the first place with an area of ​​13,829,430km^{2} compared to 9,065,253 km^{2} of the Sahara.

Taking into account that the definition of desert is a place with very little or no rainfall in the year.

<h2>Therefore this is false.</h2>

1. While there is always the possibility of being an offset, the fact point that the increasingly industrialized nations with rapidly growing large populations are constantly using more and more energy and the trend seems that it will continue. These nations have industries that grow exponentially, as well as exponentially growing populations, thus providing lot of labor force. Unlike the developed countries, these countries don't bother with investments in renewable sources of energy, but they use strictly the fossil fuels, which will just make an even bigger environmental problem in the future.

2. The best strategies that can be used by these nations to not be such big consumers of the fossils fuels is that they invest, be it on their own or with foreign aid, into the renewable resources. Most of these nations have great potential for development of such energy sources. We can take Nigeria for example, which has lot of sunny days, as well as great hydropotential, so it can focus on these two for production of energy. Pakistan is a very windy nation, and it also has lot of sunny days, and on top of it has lot of uninhabited land that can be used, so it can focus on these two for production of energy.
