The document discusses several major environmental challenges including population growth straining resources, high consumption of resources by developed nations, global warming caused by increased carbon dioxide levels, and the consequences of ozone depletion from CFCs and acid rain from SO2 and NOx emissions. It also outlines international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and Montreal Protocol that aim to address these issues but with limited progress in implementation.

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat to make the earth surface warmer leading to global warming.
Smog is a kind of intense air pollution, originally named for the mixture of smoke and fog in the air. Major cities around the world are experiencing the effects of air pollution.
Greenhouse a building made mainly of glass, with heat & humidity regulated for growing plants. The atmosphere acts like a glass in a greenhouse.
Atmosphere, like glass absorbs some of the long wave radiation emitted by earth and radiates the energy back to earth. In this way temperature of earth is maintained.
The atmosphere surrounding the earth in this manner plays a vital role in maintaining an even temperature on the earth’s surface.
A greenhouse is that body which allows the short wavelength incoming solar radiation to come in, but does not allow the long wave outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation to escape.

Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, Goal-13 targets Climate Action, raising awareness on the everyday rise of global temperature along with increased Air Pollution, which in return becomes the leading cause of acid rains, and ways to tackle it. Also, it targets reducing annual plastic waste , deforestation, annual floods and to control industrialization.
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect.
Climate change discussion and various scientific viewpoints weave a matrix of knowledge in an incredibly complex global environment. Carbon dioxide sequestration is part of the matrix of environmental solutions that will accelerate our ability to develop and deploy green renewable energy.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
5. Global Warming
Global warming= increase in global
temperatures
abnormally high levels of carbon dioxide
concentrated in the atmosphere
6. Compliments of Mr. Marshall
The recent temperature trend is accompanied by a
similar, highly-correlated upward trend in atmospheric
concentrations of carbon dioxide.
Is it due to human activity?

in Hawaii.

7. Normal CO2 Levels
Short Wave and Long Wave Radiation
1) Sun emits rays called short-wave radiation
(light rays)
2) Short wave radiation is either absorbed into
the earth’s surface or reflected back into
space
11. Consequences
• Canada’s Arctic regions’ sea ice is shrinking
• Warmer weather= forest fires & Prairie
droughts
• British Columbia- salmon survival decreased
by 1/3 since early 1990s
• Polar bear depletion
12. Kyoto Protocol
December 1997- 180 countries
- agreement among industrialized nations to
reduce emission of six greenhouse gases
Canada- agreed to cut emissions 5.2% (1990
levels) by 2012
US- withdrew in 2001 (US was responsible for
25% worldwide emissions)= big setback for
Kyoto Protocol
13. Ozone Depletion
Ozone layer=naturally occurring protective
shield in the stratosphere, 25 km+ into space
Job= absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation from
the sun
protects humans, plants, and animals
14. Ozone Gaps and Holes
Gaps and holes= harmful rays
How? Scientists think it’s due to human activity
23. Compliments of Mr. Marshall
Cda vs USA?
• 2/3 of CDA’s caused by INDUSTRY
• 2/3 of USA’s from ELECTRICAL UTILITIES
24. Consequences
• Eastern Canada, the Alps, the Appalachians,
the US, and Japan
• Animals and plants
• Ecosystems
• Corrodes steel
• Lung capacity
25. Acid Rain Regime
• Lower emissions fossil fuels
• 1990- Clean Air Act- tradeable permits
• 1991- Air Quality Accord-US and Canada
• 1993-emissions reduced by 30%
26. Environmental Awareness
1962- Rachel Carson- Silent Spring
1987- UN Commission on the State of the
Environment asked people of the developed
world to reduce resource consumption & develop
a sustainability lifestyle
1992- Earth Summit- Agenda 21 (encourage
development of a sustainable world economy)
1992- World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity-
earth stewardship
27. However…
There has been little progress by governments
and corporation
Implementation=Losses
