“Imagine a ship that is sinking and needs all the available power to run the pumps to drain out the rising waters. The first class passengers refuse to cooperate because they feel hot and want to use the air-conditioner and other electrical appliances. The second-class passengers spend all their time trying to be upgraded to first-class status. The boat sinks and the passengers all drown. That is where the present approach to climate change is leading.” WantNeedsFeelsTryingFirstsUseRunningWaterClassImagineAirApproachHotClimateClimate ChangeRefuseAvailableShipsBoatRisingDrainsPassengersSinkingElectricalPumpsFirst ClassAppliancesClass StatusAir ConditionerElectrical Appliances Author:Matthieu Ricard

“Whether we're fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don't have enough people who can code. Teaching young people to code early on can help build skills and confidence and energize the classroom with learning-by-doing opportunities. I learned how to fly a hot air balloon when I was 30,000 feet up and my life was in the balance: you can learn skills at any age but why wait when we can teach everyone to code now!” PeopleEnoughHelpingAgeYoungFightingOpportunityWaitingSpaceTeachAirFeetTeachingBalanceSkillsComputerHotMovedClimateClimate ChangeCodeClassroomBalloonsLearning By DoingHot AirAir BalloonsHot Air Balloons Author:Richard Branson
“Here's the problem - carbon dioxide doesn't contribute to smog and isn't a health threat. All of this is being done because some people believe carbon dioxide is causing global warming, and that preventing carbon dioxide from entering the air is the only answer. Never mind that there is still an ongoing scientific debate about global warming itself, and that some respected climate scientists believe that methane is a better target, California legislators have locked their sites on carbon dioxide.” PeopleMindBelieveStillsDoneProblemAnswersAirScientistThreatClimateDebateCaliforniaGlobal WarmingTargetLockedSiteCarbonEnteringOngoingPreventingLegislatorsBeing DoneCarbon DioxideSmogMethane Author:Kenneth P.

“When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm.
