Global warming poses grave dangers to humanity and the planet unless action is taken now. Burning fossil fuels and other human activities have increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, trapping more heat and causing the planet to warm. As the Earth gets hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts, and floods are increasing in frequency and intensity. To curb global warming, massive tree planting initiatives are underway to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The goal is to plant 100 million trees worldwide by October 2008 through a joint effort between the United Nations, non-profits, governments, schools, and individuals. Participation and pledge taking are invited to support environmental sustainability.

The relationship between humanity and the environment is a delicate balance. Since the industrial revolution, the world's population has increased exponentially, and with the population growth, the environment has been profoundly affected. Deforestation, pollution and global climate changes are amongst the adverse effects the population and technological expansion has introduced. Included in this category are both subjects dealing with attempts to reduce the negative impact on the environment, and subjects which aim to gain a greater understanding of the environment itself.
Did you know? A lot of evidence indicates that we are destroying the foundations of human life in our quest for prosperity. Yes, it’s true that we have become masters of the planet, but at the same time we have become the terror of the ecosystem. In fact, over the past few hundred years, we have been disturbing the ecological equilibrium of the planet to such an extent that the ability of the planet’s ecosystem to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted.
Maybe it's time to remember a fact that is so obvious it's easy to forget. We all depend on the natural resources of this planet for our livelihoods. The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breath, the fuel we use, the timber in our house, the fibers in our cloth, are all products of Earths natural ecosystems. Honouring these systems will ensure our continued prosperity and well being. It's simple as this: if we look after nature, it will look after us.
Sustainability - What's wrong with a little climate change? Anders Lindgren
You may have heard about the dangers of “global warming and climate change”. It’s like old news. It hardly get you concerned. Well, there are some recent findings. Our Earth is getting warmer, wetter, wilder and more crowded than ever. It's scaring the hell out of scientists.
Biodiversity is the variation of Earth’s terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species, as well as their habitats. Biodiversity is vital to the survival of all life on earth and is also the cornerstone for the goods and services of the environment that allow human societies to thrive. Biodiversity provides us with food, water and resources as well as services such as climate control, pollination, flood mitigation and cycling of nutrients

Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature. Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels. As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels burned.
The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

1. Will Earth still be home for us in coming years?
GLOBAL WARMING!
Should you care?
2. Our planet is
heating up …
… and we are
responsible
Unless we take steps NOW
to curb global warming,
our way of life,
our future, and
our family are all in
GRAVE DANGER.
3. What is Global Warming?
Global Warming is defined as the increase of the temperature
on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes,
droughts and floods are getting more frequent.
8. When did the
problem begin?
The problems began when
human activities created &
released more gases in the
atmosphere than are
necessary.
9. 1: Burning natural gas, coal & oil
raise the level of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere & accelerate
the warming effect.
10. 2: Many factories produce long-lasting
gases that contribute to the global warming
11. 3: Population growth accelerates
global warming as more & more
people use fuels for heat,
transportation & manufacturing
12. 4: Intensive farming leads to global warming
Some farming practices & use of fertilizers produce
gases that trap heat more than Carbon Dioxide.
For instance, Nitrous Oxide, found in pesticides can
retain 300 times more heat than CO2.
13. To decrease your carbon footprint,
you can start with your dinner plate.
A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse
gases produced by human activities.
A U.N. report found that 18 % of
global warming emissions come from raising
chickens, cattle, pigs, & other animals for food.
That's about 40 % more than all the trucks,
cars, planes & all the forms of transport
(13%) and all the homes & offices in the
14. Meat industry consumes more
environmental resources
It contributes to land degradation, climate change
& air pollution, water shortage and water pollution.
Animals such as cows & sheep emit huge amount
of methane due to flatulence and burping.
"The released methane", the scientists say, "has
23 times the global warming potential of CO2."
15. In the absence of demand for meat
there is no more need for breeding
millions of animals for daily
slaughter.
The reversal of global
warming
will be a certainty.
16. 5: “Sawing off the branch we are sitting on”
Deforestation is Choking the Earth.
34 million acres of trees,
the size of Italy, are cut each year.
17. Forests are vital for
absorbing & storing
the world's carbon
dioxide (CO2).
When trees are cut & burnt
the damage is two-fold:
* The world's capacity to
absorb CO2 is reduced.
* Large amounts of stored
carbon are released back
into the atmosphere.
18. Global warming will kill
BILLIONS this Century
Green house gases can stay in the atmosphere
for hundreds and thousands of years.
Here are few DEADLIEST effects
of global warming..
19. A: Spread of infectious
disease
Global Warming leads to
150,000 deaths every year
These numbers could double by 2020
As the globe warms, disease-carrying
mosquitoes & rodents spread, infecting
people. Outbreaks of Dengue fever,
Malaria, Chikingunia, Allergies & Asthma
have already started affecting daily lives.
20. B: More Intense Hurricanes are on the Way
The oceans are getting warmer, stronger
hurricanes & calamities like tsunami are
getting more frequent.
21. C: Increased intensity of droughts & heat waves
22. D: Economic consequences
Natural calamities do billions of money in damage
& disease outbreaks cost money to treat and control.
23. E: Polar ice caps are melting
Sea levels are rising
24. * There are 5,773,000 cubic miles of water in glaciers and if they
melt today the seas would rise about 230 feet.
* The ice caps are fresh water & when they melt they will
desalinate the ocean, i.e. make it less salty. This effect will
alter ocean currents causing unnatural weather conditions
* Temperature rise will endanger several species of animals.
* Ice caps reflect excess sunlight back into space to maintain
favorable weather conditions. With the ice caps gone less
energy will be reflected causing further temperature increase.
25. F: The oceans are like giant storage heaters
Oceans trap heat and absorb Carbon dioxide.
They are like time-bombs, masking the real effects
of the Carbon dioxide we have been releasing into
the atmosphere. Constant disturbance of the sea
currents is a threat awaiting to unleash.
26. G:We will lose
drinking water
As sea levels rise,
sea water will invade
coastal groundwater,
making it salty
hence undrinkable.
27. H: Food will cost as much as gold
The threat to future food supplies
from climate change weighs heavily
on an expected world population
of 9 billion people by 2050.
28. India Climate Change Profile
Impact on Environment and Society
India is highly sensitive to climate change. The country faces more
erratic & heavier monsoon patterns, more floods and droughts, and
steadily shrinking Himalayan glaciers.
BOMBAY, WEST BENGAL, GUJRAT, BIHAR went under water.
What surprise does the next monsoon hold for us?
29. Is our blue planet turning DRY?
-Out of all the water on this planet, only 2.5% of it is
freshwater. Most is derived from glaciers.
-Himalayan glaciers are receding by 10-15 meters per
year.
-In India, the Gangotri glacier is receding at an average
rate of 23 meters per year.
year
-This will first increase the volume of water in rivers
causing, widespread flooding. Then in a few decades this
situation will REVERSE and the water levels in rivers will
decline affecting millions living around them.
30. Coastal Flooding
A NASA high-tech aerial survey shows that Global
warming is melting 50 billion tons of ice in a year
from the Greenland ice sheet.
This is increasing the likelihood of coastal flooding
around the world.
Cities like Mumbai, Goa, Kerela & others are in danger.
31. How does an Individual make
an IMPACT on the world’s biggest
environmental problem?
Working at the individual level, stabilizing the climate is
a challenge but not an impossible task.
Climate scientists say that planting more and more trees
are quick, easy and cheap ways to prevent further
GLOBAL WARMING.
32.
33. Why plant trees?
-Reduce Global Warming
-Improve the ground water level
-Prevent soil erosion
-Promote the ecosystem
-Reduce pollution
-Improve soil fertility
34. The Art of Living is a multi-faceted non-profit
organization that offers life-transforming programs
in over 144 countries. It has undertaken many projects
out of which one is Tree plantation to help reduce
GLOBAL WARMING.
