Na virada do século XX para o século XXI os sujeitos reemergiram. Eu presencio essa reemergência, dia após dia, como seu eu presenciasse um astro que se eclipsara e deseclipsou. Considero que o industrialismo, dentro de sua lógica de produção e consumo, desenvolveu dois instrumentos e os massificou: o computador e a internet. Contraditórios aos objetivos de qualquer massificação industrial, o computador e a internet abriram juntos a possibilidade de uma liberdade, na medida em que possibilitaram aos sujeitos se colocarem frente a esses instrumentos de forma mais ativa. Nessa perspectiva, assumo que os sujeitos tiveram que se apropriar das ferramentas produzidas no encontro dessas tecnologias para poderem efetivamente reemergir. Defendo que, para se apropriar das ferramentas contidas no produto computador/internet e conseguir reemergir em atividades sociais diversas como sujeitos ativos (sujeitos diferentes dos constituídos pela educação linguística moderna e pelas mídias da modernidade: televisiva, impressa e radiofônica), tais sujeitos aprofundaram suas relações com as características de liberdade da língua. Invertendo a linha de pensamento, afirmo que ao aprofundar as relações com as características de liberdade da língua, os sujeitos se apropriaram de ferramentas produzidas no encontro de dois instrumentos tecnológicos do industrialismo (computador e internet), e se possibilitam exercer atividades que lhes foram negadas sistematicamente ao longo de toda a modernidade. Precisaram, portanto, tomar a língua de uma forma diferente do que vinham tomando na modernidade, de receber e repetir o discurso, de entender a língua como estrutura somente.
Climate change is a pressing issue that the world is facing today. The effects of global warming are becoming increasingly evident, and the situation seems to be getting worse with each passing year.
According to recent studies, it is predicted that by the year 2025, the effects of climate change will become irreversible, leading to catastrophic consequences for the planet.
Climate change is the current rapid warming of the Earth's climate caused by human activity. If left unchecked (and current responses are doing little to halt it) it poses an unprecedented threat to human civilisation and the ecosystems on this planet. Discover the causes and effects of climate change, but also solutions to reduce it. Find out how you can take action to save the environment. Find out how you can take action to save the environment.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

TASK 6 GLOBAL WARMING
The causes of global warming such as change of climate and natural disasters of
unprecedented proportions. The primary cause of global warming is a cyclic process that occurs
in the Universe over time and the beginning of a destructive phase which will increase in
intensity over the next 5-10 years are also the causes of global warming.
The major problems faced by the town are natural protections. Natural protections against
damaging storm surges are increasingly threatened. Barrier islands, beaches, sand dunes, salt
marshes, mangrove stands, and mud and sand flats retreat inland as sea level rises, unless there
are obstructions along the retreat path. If they cannot move, these natural protections are washed
over or drowned.
High tides and storm surges riding on ever-higher seas are more dangerous to people and
coastal infrastructure. Many shorelines have sea walls, jetties, and other artificial defences to
protect roads, buildings, and other vital coastal resources. In these areas, sea-level rise increases
erosion of stranded beaches, wetlands, and engineered structures.
Over the last century, global average temperature has increased by more than 1°F
(0.7°C). The 2001-2010 decade is the warmest since 1880—the earliest year for which
comprehensive global temperature records were available. In fact, nine of the warmest years on
record have occurred in just the last 10 years. While the record shows that some parts of the
world are warming faster than others, the long-term global upward trend is unambiguous.
As the hired consultant, first of all I would list down all the impacts of the global
warming to the town. As the city is just nearby the coastal area and there is a significant
increment on the mean sea level, the impacts to the city might be severe. Moreover due to the
most of the part of city is quite low, shoreline erosion, coastal flooding, and water pollution
affect man-made infrastructure and coastal ecosystems might be occur in the future. The impacts
of climate change are likely to worsen many problems that coastal areas already face.
In fact, climate change could affect coastal areas in a variety of ways. Coasts are sensitive
to sea level rise, changes in the frequency and intensity of storms, increases in precipitation, and

TASK 6 GLOBAL WARMING
warmer ocean temperatures. In addition, rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2) are causing the oceans to absorb more of the gas and become more acidic. This rising
acidity could have significant impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems.
Climate change mitigation is actions to limit the magnitude and/or rate of long-term
climate change. Climate change mitigation generally involves reductions in human
(anthropogenic) emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Mitigation may also be achieved by
increasing the capacity of carbon sinks, in example, through reforestation. By contrast,
adaptation to global warming are actions taken to manage the eventual (or unavoidable) impacts
of global warming, in example, by building dikes in response to sea level rise.
Examples of mitigation include switching to low-carbon energy sources, such as
renewable and nuclear energy, and expanding forests and other "sinks" to remove greater
amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Energy efficiency may also play a role, for
example, through improving the insulation of buildings. Another approach to climate change
mitigation is climate engineering.
Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service.
Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use, which refers to using less energy for a
constant service. For example, driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the
same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy
conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques.
There are various ways on which you can contribute to energy conservation. The first
one is planning for the car with odd and even number in alternative days. Not always using your
car, instead choosing either walking or riding the bike is another example. Besides that, build of
green space and park out of city. Promoting customer rebates for energy efficiency and make all
municipal buildings energy efficient are another ways to contribute it.
There is wide range of energy sources that provide energy needs with minimal impact on
the environment through using technologies with high energy-conversion efficient designs.

TASK 6 GLOBAL WARMING
However, the use of these resources in an environmentally acceptable manner while providing
for the needs of growing populations and developing economies is a great challenge.
Adaptation involves developing ways to protect people and places by reducing their
vulnerability to climate impacts. For example, to protect against sea level rise and increased
flooding, communities might build seawalls or relocate buildings to higher ground.
Humans have a long history of making changes in the way they live to survive
environmental changes. We are pretty industrious. These changes are ways to adapt to new
conditions. Adaptation of human societies to climate change is taking place today on a limited
basis. Current climate change poses challenges to adaptation.
Adaptation happens in a variety of ways. Some adaptations are fuelled by changes in
government policies. Other adaptations occur because of technological advances. (And there are,
of course, ways that we individually adapt (insulating the attic to keep cool during summer heat
waves or raising and reinforcing a house in a hurricane-prone area).
So, the solutions must be taken immediately to minimise the impact of global warming to
the coastal city. In order to achieve that, there are tonnes of works to do. The mitigations lie on
our daily activities and needs. We must tackle in these issues as these are the main contributor
for greenhouse gases which lead to global warming. The scopes including the energy efficiency,
transportation, forest management and the most important thing is sustainable development.
Boosting energy efficiency: The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes,
businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor to global warming. Energy
efficiency technologies allow us to use less energy to get the same—or higher—level of
production, service, and comfort. This approach has vast potential to save both energy
and money, and can be deployed quickly.
Greening transportation: The transportation sector's emissions have increased at a faster
rate than any other energy-using sector over the past decade. A variety of solutions are at

TASK 6 GLOBAL WARMING
hand, including improving efficiency in all modes of transport, switching to low-carbon
fuels, and reducing vehicle miles travelled through smart growth and more efficient mass
transportation systems.
Revving up renewable: Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and
bio energy are available around the world. Multiple studies have shown that renewable
energy has the technical potential to meet the vast majority of our energy needs.
Renewable technologies can be deployed quickly, are increasingly cost-effective, and
create jobs while reducing pollution.
Phasing out fossil fuel electricity: Dramatically reducing our use of fossil fuels
especially carbon-intensive coal is essential to tackle climate change. There are many
ways to begin this process. Key action steps include: not building any new coal-burning
power plants, initiating a phased shutdown of coal plants starting with the oldest and
dirtiest, and capturing and storing carbon emissions from power plants. While it may
sound like science fiction, the technology exists to store carbon emissions underground.
The technology has not been deployed on a large scale or proven to be safe and
permanent, but it has been demonstrated in other contexts such as oil and natural gas
recovery. Demonstration projects to test the viability and costs of this technology for
power plant emissions are worth pursuing.
Managing forests and agriculture: Taken together, tropical deforestation and emissions
from agriculture represent nearly 30 percent of the world's heat-trapping emissions. We
can fight global warming by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
and by making our food production practices more sustainable.
Developing and deploying new low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies: Research
into and development of the next generation of low-carbon technologies will be critical to
deep mid-century reductions in global emissions. Current research on battery technology,
new materials for solar cells, harnessing energy from novel sources like bacteria and
algae, and other innovative areas could provide important breakthroughs.
Ensuring sustainable development: The countries of the world from the most to the least
developed vary dramatically in their contributions to the problem of climate change and in
5. NAME: MUHAMMAD ‘ARIFF PUTRA BIN ANSARUDDIN AGUS

their responsibilities and capacities to confront it. A successful global compact on climate
change must include financial assistance from richer countries to poorer countries to help
make the transition to low-carbon development pathways and to help adapt to the impacts
of climate change.
