1. An international protocol on climate change, ratified by the EU,
Japan, Canada, and now Russia, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
prevent the more serious ramifications of global warming. Current attention
is focused on the progression of complementary technologies that will give
us low-cost renewable energy over the short and longer-term. This will
provide the economic incentive to replace fossil fuels in developed and
developing countries, leading to a more pervasively low-carbon economy. This
is crucial if we are to slow the rate of climate change which can have
devastating effects on the flora and fauna of our planet.
2. It was originally believed that the universe had been created only a
few thousand years ago. However, there are shortcomings of this theory.
Firstly, it was discovered in 1923 that many of the faint patches of light
in the night sky are from other galaxies larger than our own. The light was
so faint because it took millions or billions of years to reach us, which
meant that the universe could not have been just a few thousand years old.
Secondly, astronomers had learned, by analysing the light projected by other
galaxies that all other galaxies are moving away from us. Moreover, the
farther they are from us, the faster they are moving away. This means that
the universe is expanding. These discoveries completely changed discussions
surrounding the origin of the universe.
3. Internet shoppers are at an increased risk of both fraud and theft
due to a number of factors. Amongst them are both a decrease in a means of
reliable identification and an increase in the use of websites for monetary
transactions whether from online reservations, internet banking, or other
types of business. This fraud is increasing in severity and frequency in
areas such as false business websites, telesales and online shopping and is
now a more serious problem than ever before. One solution to this problem
would be to limit internet transactions to websites authorised by the banks.
4. In general, the longer an individual practices Yoga, the more the
person improves. Long term Yoga enthusiasts benefit more while suffering
from fewer symptoms of modern day life; they experience less stress,
insomnia and high blood pressure and are less susceptible to common
complaints such as tiredness and back pain. They are also likely to
recommend it to other new health enthusiasts. Fitness fanatics usually gauge
their performance on the basis of strength and stamina. They rarely study
another factor that reflects how much is gained - the individual''s
wellbeing.
