Save the world?

Have anyone more noticed that very many politicians try to “save” the world now? They start to worry about the climate change and want to stop it. But they don’t really want to do something about it. Because how could they change the way people lives? That’s indeed a big problem!

Old old tree

The Wollemi pine that was thought to be extinct millions of years ago was found in Australia 1994 by a hiker! Isn’t that fantastic. A hiker found one of the worlds oldest tree species. The problem is just that there only are about 100 wild trees left. And in an attempt to save it Australia tries to distribute it over the world. Wouldn’t it be sad if a tree that have survived for 200 million years disappeared just when we found it?

Passive houses the way to go?

A couple of days ago a heard of a fantastic house, the “passive house”. This house gets warm by the electrical things that we use and by the heat from the people living there. This would make the greenhouse gas emissions from houses to drop. Today a large part of the gases come from our houses and apartments. From that they are designed to be 20 degrees inside the house all year round. But I’m a bit sceptical about the summer months. If it’s warm outside won’t it be warm inside as well since we still use the electrical products and the people will still be there?

The greenhouse effect

Something that is really interesting within science is the discussion around climate change. Its now, when we start to see the changes, people have started to talk about it and what will happen. I have never seen so many articles in newspapers about it and so many TV shows. The interest is getting bigger but big countries still don’t do anything to make their greenhouse gas emissions any smaller. If not everybody is helping and preventing this how can we make a difference?
