Let's talk about Conflict, 3/30 Wed.

文章 light »

Hello, everyone. I am Light and will be host at 3/30(Wed.)

We will discuss about the conflict such as between economic with enviromentment protection.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that calls for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Human activities are believed to have a discernable influence on climate change. The Kyoto Protocol is the most significant in a series of international negotiations and events designed to reduce the impact of these activities.


The Kyoto Protocol came into force at 2/16/2005. The aim is to avoid plunging the world into environmental disaster through man-made global warming. But George Bush refuse to sign the agreement.

This is Light's first hosting in YOYO and he chooses a meaningful topic for us. The Kyoto Protocol (京都議定書) has been effected since Fab. 16th of 2005. Maybe most of us are not familiar with the contents of it and are not paying too much attention on this world-wide significant issue. I believe that this meeting will be a good chance to understand our obligation and responsibility as a member of global village. :)

I'd like to share a website where you may find a brief introduction of the Kyoto Protocol in Chinese:

關於京都議定書的緣起,內容,現況與衝擊
五月號的大地地理雜誌有主題介紹
讀過之後才發現除了交通,我們的日常水電消耗,生活必需品,還有食衣住行
每個環節都對溫室氣體有所貢獻,也造成全球暖化
發人深省的內容,很值得一讀喔 :)

關於全球暖化的問題, 在 Michael Crichton 的新書 State of Fear 中有很深入的探討. 這本書是 Michael Crichton 繼 Prey (奈米獵殺) 後又一鉅著. 本著上次為它寫心得的同樣想法, 再次推薦各位去看.

這本書對環保人士關於全球暖化的原因及解釋, 提出了不同的看法.
再次展現他科技驚悚的能力.

我還沒看完, 不過迫不及待想推薦大家去看看.
和上一本一樣, 也是洪蘭女士翻譯的.
