    *With the emission of stamps related to Global Warming, Nieuwe Post Netherlands Antilles want to draw your attention for one of the phenomenon that is causing the destruction of our earth. Global Warming is caused by an increase of the earth's temperature by a few degrees resulting in an increase in the volume of water which contributes to sea-level rise.

    Four stamps of release show an essence and the decision of this problem. On them simple slogans open simple things: «One of the reasons, One of the victims, One of the solutions and One of the hopes ».

    The 125ct stamp illustrates one of the many solutions available to the human species. Instead of the continuous use of fossil fuels that contribute to Global Warming, we have the technology to replace fossil fuel with clean, wind energy, solar power or hydro electronic power. Regretfully due to higher cost of purchase and installation of these clean systems, most countries continue using fossil fuels exclusively.
