Panel cookers are a type of solar oven that incorporates elements of box and curved concentrator cookers. They are simple and inexpensive to produce. Panel cookers use a transparent heat trap around a dark cooking pot to retain heat from sunlight and keep the pot warm after adjusting the cooker's position to follow the sun. Solar cookers can help reduce reliance on firewood and other fuels for cooking while avoiding the air pollution caused by cooking fires.
Global warming
Global warming is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, average temperatures have risen and Arctic ice is disappearing rapidly. If warming continues unchecked, it could cause sea levels to rise and natural disasters to become more frequent and intense, threatening coastal cities and ecosystems. However, individuals can help address the problem through everyday actions like using appliances efficiently, driving less, and conserving energy and resources.

Mohd Syazwan Bin Mohd Ismail - SMK Jalan Mengkibol
This document discusses global warming, its causes, and its effects. It explains that human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, trapping heat and warming the planet. If unchecked, this could lead to devastating consequences like rising sea levels, more extreme storms, widespread extinction, and damage to ecosystems. The document provides tips people can take to reduce their carbon footprint and help address the problem, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs and driving less.
Global Warming
Global warming is being caused by higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere than normal. Humans are releasing carbon dioxide into the air faster than plants and oceans can absorb it. This extra warming will lead to problems like food and water shortages, health issues, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events. Various actions are recommended to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like using energy more efficiently, switching to renewable energy, and reducing waste. The evidence is clear that the average temperature has risen significantly in recent decades due to human activity.

This document summarizes a paper that examines police brutality against African Americans. It discusses several cases of unarmed black men being killed by police and finds that police are more likely to use force against black men. It argues that implicit racial bias permeates the criminal justice system and causes disproportionate policing and incarceration of African Americans. Statistics show black people are more often stopped and arrested for minor crimes. The document traces these issues back to slavery and Jim Crow laws and argues systemic racism remains deeply entrenched in the criminal justice system.
