Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
World must end
'dirty' fuel use - UN
It took a week of
heated debate between government officials and scientists in Berlin to finalize
a 33-page UN report that warns and urges the world to act swiftly to stop or
mitigate the pain of global warming. Heated disputes were held between
developed that have already enjoyed the benefits of fossil fuels so far and developing
that are running the economical race behind the track to decide who will pay
the price or endure the pain.
Scientists can
prepare and present detailed and accurate maps that shows what conditions lie
ahead but it is the government leaders and officials that make decisions where
and how to get to the destination and it is the people and companies in the
world follow the directions and actually walk. There is no silver bullet or
free lunch. The world needs to make a swift shift to renewable energy from
carbon-dioxide generating fossil fuels.
However, there is
a little relief, the report suggests. Natural gas is mentioned as bridge
resource from other fossil fuels like coal and oil to more economically
expensive renewable energies.
Enjoy reading and
learning how the world is struggling to decide and act on this clear and
present danger.
