2006 Climate Change awareness events

Read this interesting article published on the guardian, giving a round up of 2006 events related to Climate Change. The article focuses on UK doings, but also on global affairs, and criticises the Labour government for promising much but doing little. Though such criticism might be quite fair, it should be pointed to other governments who should lead the way and set the policies straight.
Two examples?
US plans for over 150 new coal-fired power station, China for 550.

What's more, Australia, a major industrialised countries which rejected Kyoto is currently suffering from severe drought, with climate projections suggesting that this can only get worse. It is maybe the first 'Climatic revenge' to record, where one of the no-doers themselves is suffereing from its own inaction.


The Guardian article is titled: The year the world woke up

Tree planting no help against climate change!

Look at this article on The Guardian "Planting tree to save planet is pointless, say ecologists".

This article argues that tree-planting schemes (the local Tree4U campaign comes to my mind) are just a political gimmick to make people feel good about their contribution to offset climate change, but in fact they can cause more damage than harm.

Mind you, I personally prefer a bunch of trees to a wasteland but in term of climate change I quote: "Prof Caldeira said planting trees was a diversion, letting consumers pollute more. He said it would be better to transform the way energy was derived and used, for instance through investment in renewable and carbon-free electricity generation."

Very interesting!!

Three is the number of perfection, the ideal occasion to present a special gift to your loved one.

Three years on, I love her as ever, Baanisuu.

Ages ago

I have blogged for ages now, almost a month. Not that nothing has occured to me, but I am running out of one thing for sure, and that is time.

Never in my life have I felt time fly so fast, too fast actually. I realise this mostly when weekends approach 'every other day'. Worse still is take weekend are not what they used to be, mainly because of the MIRM. Yep, MIRM has taken much time out of my life, too much sometimes I feel. It is also my fault since I spend ages doing assignments, and because of that I hardly have any time to do anything else, may it be reading, taking a stroll, play some PC game or else. And yes, unfortunately my physical activities have come to halt. The only physical activities I do, apart from sitting on my ass for 8 or more hours a day is climbing up the steps to work - most people say that is stress.
