NickThe document discusses the need to protect Earth, our only home, from the risks of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions like CO2. It notes that the US emits over 20% of the world's CO2 annually and this jeopardizes Earth's habitability. While the costs of energy are rising, consumers are forced to make tough decisions that sacrifice safety for energy or waste money on disappearing commodities. However, it argues we have the technology to build new infrastructure to support clean energy, though more must be done, and calls on the reader to do their part by supporting legislation to advance clean energy for the future of children.

An inconvenient truth personal comment
The author expresses concern about the effects of climate change they have witnessed in nature. While past climate changes have occurred, none have been as severe or sustained as the current warming trend, which coincides with industrialization and rising CO2 emissions. Some countries prioritize economic interests over addressing climate change through actions like the Kyoto Protocol. The solutions to reduce CO2 and address climate change are known but have not been fully implemented. Individual actions around reducing resource use can make a difference while not requiring people to give up their lives or money.
Sustainable development 5
The document discusses the importance of sustainable development. It notes that consumption of natural resources like fossil fuels has increased drastically over the last century due to industrialization and population growth. This has led to rising carbon dioxide levels and global warming. Specifically, cutting down rainforests is reducing the Earth's ability to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Some suggestions to work towards sustainable development include planting more trees, reducing greenhouse gas emissions through less driving and alternative fuels, and having a functioning society and economy with low unemployment to fund environmental research and projects.

Why climate change is every ghanaian's business. y. b. osei tutu, may 20, 2015
This document discusses how climate change affects Ghana and why it is important for all Ghanaians to address. It notes that climate change is driven by greenhouse gas emissions which are trapping heat and increasing global temperatures. Ghana is already experiencing impacts like changing rainfall patterns and more extreme weather. This is negatively impacting sectors like agriculture and energy generation. The Akosombo Dam, which provides much of Ghana's power, has experienced low water levels, contributing to recent electricity shortages. If no action is taken, studies project water shortages across Ghana by 2020. The document calls for all Ghanaians to take mitigation and adaptation measures like planting trees, conserving energy, and sustainable agriculture to address this critical challenge.
Environmental sustainability and economic growth
The document discusses whether environmental sustainability and economic growth can go together. It argues that they are interrelated and countries need to strike a balance between the two. While developing countries focus on growth through industries, this often leaves the environment neglected. However, with collective global efforts like conferences and protocols to reduce emissions, countries are working to resolve this issue. India is presented as an example of a developing country that is seriously addressing environmental sustainability while still experiencing economic growth.
Footprint Challenge
Global warming is considered the biggest issue of our time according to experts. If current warming trends continue, the world will likely be hotter by the end of the century than at any other time in the last two million years. If no action is taken to address this crisis, it could threaten the future of human civilization. Polar ice is predicted to disappear by 2060 which will negatively impact polar bear populations. Drought and species extinction are increasing problems affecting the planet. Individual consumer choices have ecological consequences and population growth will require changes to consumption habits to maintain quality of life standards. While technologies exist to respond to global warming, action must be taken immediately to avoid severe, potentially catastrophic impacts.

Slide Deck on Climate Justice Week 2019 for the Student Environmental Resource Center at UC Berkeley. These slides are meant to serve as a jumping off point for conversation about Climate Justice.Environmental sustainability and economic growth
Environmental sustainability and economic growth can be achieved together through collective global efforts. While developing countries prioritize economic growth, neglecting the environment can have catastrophic consequences. Striking a balance between the two is needed. International agreements like the Kyoto Protocol aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through countries committing to targets. Bodies like the IPCC create awareness about environmental issues and work to restore sustainability. Small collective efforts over time, like developing green buildings, can help achieve sustainability, which is a necessity rather than a luxury for future generations.
Repowering America
This document introduces repowering America with clean energy and what can be learned from Europe's experience. It discusses the Obama administration's goals for renewable energy, including generating 10% from renewables by 2012, 25% by 2025, and an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. Minnesota is highlighted as having potential for significantly more wind energy development to meet its 25% renewable standard by 2025. The conclusion advocates for transitioning to a clean, renewable, domestic energy supply and using legislative power to promote sustainable growth.
Climate change
This document summarizes a report on climate change that discusses: (1) how climate change poses life-threatening dangers and increasing global temperatures are causing more extreme weather events; (2) efforts by the UN and governments to negotiate new treaties by 2015 to reduce emissions, though developing countries resist restrictions on economic growth; and (3) predictions that the world will warm dangerously without action and failure to limit emissions could lead to severe consequences for humanity and nature.

January 2013 being synoptic
This document provides an overview of key themes and considerations for choosing energy solutions in Europe:
1. Climate change is driving the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming, as required by the Kyoto Protocol.
2. European countries want energy solutions that support economic growth while keeping costs low.
3. Solutions must achieve sustainable development by meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
Cutting energy demand through measures like insulation, efficiency improvements, and renewable energy adoption can also help address these issues. No single solution can resolve the challenges, and all options have pros and cons.

26. Climate Change: Deregulation, Energy Dominance, and the Trump Administration
I make the case that the Trump Administration lacks a climate change platform (other than ignoring, denying, or downplaying its importance). I then argue that this is because climate change has no place in its story about the American way of life. We look at this story with a focus on the central pillars of deregulation and energy dominance, where 'energy' means fossil fuels. Finally, we discuss how this is not ecomodernism.

Learning How To Learn: Let's talk about LEARNING, not technology!
Learning How2Learn- Change- Rethink-Amplify
We live in a time and space when it is is truer than ever that "change is the only constant”.
What are some cultural shifts in our fast changing world, that have an impact on our own learning as educators and leaders? How do we adapt to this in a school environment? Can we dwell on our experience and degrees as educators and continue to stay relevant? Learning how to learn might be the most important skill we did not learn when we were in school.
Do you have to be a tech guru to be literate in a digital world? Or are the ones who are self- motivated, life-long learners and the ones who are accepting of and embracing change the ones flourishing in the modern world? We will take a look at the urgency of shifting school culture to a culture of learning how to learn. Let's talk about LEARNING, not technology!

The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
