Scientists and politicians of several countries met last week in Copenhagen to talk about the weather changes that have been happening in the last years since the Kyoto signing and to decide what to do next.
It is a fact that our little blue planet has changed since we were kids. I remember a different weather when I was a kid, probably my grandma remembers the same thing. My city, BrasÃlia, the capital of Brasil (that's right, it is not Rio de Janeiro) has a period of June to September without any rain. 40 years ago when my mother moved there, right after the inauguration of the city, there was rain by this time and temperature was not so high around 25-28, today the temperature is around 28-30.
It is also a fact that we have our dose of guilt in the CO2 emissions and still some people believe that global warming isn't caused by men! This sounds unbelievable. Of course, there is the natural course of nature, but since the industrialization time, it increased absurdly.
I hope politicians will get to positive conclusions and we will do our best all around the world to avoid a bad future for the sons of our sons. I live here a video, as I see it is a fashion to use 'poor' Hitler to different reasons, but this one is quite good and about how everybody is concerned with the weather. It is in german, but at the right low corner of the video there is a closed caption for the "English text."
Well, we can do our part, trying to minimize our shower time, and turn off electric machines when not in use (not leaving them in stand by), buy the ones that have clever energy usage, solar energy is an alternative (Germany is quite good in that, told me a German person) and some other things that can be useful...
Think about it, it is worth while!
