Half year passed
That's fast. For last half year, I've been back to my normal life. Then I found there are so many depressed in the life. Sometimes, it just made me feel super sad; sometimes, I just simply loss my confidence. But, hey! This is my life. I'm the only one who can make it change. It is just too stupid to let the depressed take over. Be a fighter for my own life.

Response: "Global wariming heats up"
It has been 13 years since the world first responded to climate change with the "Kyoto protocol". Is the future looking better now or are we still heading for a global disaster? In his documentary the age of stupid, British director Franny Armstrong put the devastated world of 2055 in scene. The last man looked at old footage from 2008 and asked: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance? Trough the documentary, Armstrong wanted to inspire people to force world governments to take action in the run up to UN climate change conference in Copenhagen(COP15) in December, 2009.
Sadly, the developed regions of the world, like United States and European Union, refused to take responsibility of greenhouse gas reduction during the conference. They blamed the developing countries like China and India because they also take part in the emission of greenhouse gases. The developing countries argued that it is their priority to develop their economy and to raise the citizen life quality. They say that the richer countries have gotten enormous benefit from industrialization, so it is immoral for them to refuse this progress to the newcomers. On 18 December, the final day of the conference, the "Copenhagen Accord" was announced. It claimed that actions should be taken to keep the temperature from rising more than 2°C from the level it was before industrial revolution. However, the "Copenhagen Accord" does not contain any legally binding commitments for reducing CO2 emissions. The world recognizes the problem but is still reluctant to take real measures.
Although this was a big failure from the COP15, people are starting to realize the crisis, and the urgency of actions against global warming. More and more researchers specialize in this field, finding new ways to hold back global warming. The energy in the future will be greener and smarter.
People need electricity in the modern life. Thermal power plants, the main source of electricity, are taking tons of fuel and coal everyday while they're pumping a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but they keep providing energy to keep the factories running and light up the lamp above your head. Now, scientists are developing clean energy such as solar power, wind power and bioenergy. Wind turbines, bioenergy systems that converge waist from a pig cattle station to power and even small applications like street lights with a built in solar panel are just some of the new applications of this technology. Thanks to the developing of technology, the cost of solar panels will drop so much that everyone can have their own solar panel on the roof and skyscrapers can replace the traditional windows with solar panels. As the world gets more aware of global warming, more money and research will be spend on the development of green energy. Hopefully the world will produce enough green energy to stop using fossil fuels before they run out.
The fight against climate change doesn' stop with the production of green energy, we have to control our energy consumption as well. Green ICT or integrated circuit technology will be a great help here. Green ICT refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. One of the applications is the "smart grid". It includes an intelligent monitoring system that keeps track of all the electricity flowing in the system. In the family, a smart home grid can let the laundry machine or dish washer run at the off-time when power is least expensive or turn off those stand-by machines at peak time. It can also calculate the total energy use in a month then give a suggestion of electricity-using to a family. In the public power system, a broadly smart grid could handle the power generation, distribution and demand chain, adjusting the system to get the lowest cost and most efficiency. Many countries have started setting this system on their domestic power system as the policy of CO2 reduction.
The global warming is a serious problem. Although there isn't any legally enforceable accord yet against global warming between the countries, every single country should take this issue as a responsibility of a global citizen. Thanks to the technology, we can fight global warming by using energy smart and green. I believe we can stop climate change when we still have the chance!

The ago of stupid
Will you buy it that human being should really start changing the highly-oil-dependent life style because the pollutions of oil are one of the main reasons of climate change? If you buy it. Will you make change of your life-style? Or will you take the all things as the bull-shit of the environmental freaks?
Check the film out!
According to the film, we should really do something in five years. Make the difference before it's not too late!
你贊成人類應該開始改變高度倚賴石油的生活方式，因為使用石油後所造成的汙染是導致氣候變遷的主因之一?如果你贊成。你會開始改變你的生活方式嗎?或是你認為這都是無聊的環境保育人士編出來的謊話?
看看下面的影片吧！
根據影片裡所說的，最近五年就是改變的關鍵點。在一切尚未失控前最初改變吧!

St. David park in Hobart
It had been a month since she said bye bye to Eva in front of the hostel. She was alone again as she always was. Eventually, she enjoyed it; travelled to a strange city, stayed in the same hostel for couple of weeks, knew the staff there, made new friends at dinner table, heard the story from them, or just simply walked around the city.She loved Hobart, the perfect city for the lonely traveller. Those lovely parks in the city were the nice place to just hang around at the afternoon. St. David park was her favourite park.
She went there again at that afternoon. She had a bag with the book "Memories of a Geisha" in it. It was autumn time. The sky was as blue as the ocean. She found herself a nice square to lie down, starring at the blue sky. The golden leaves were falling. The breeze made her sleepy but she could still hear the sound of guitar coming from the other side of the park. She tried to read a bit but she couldn't focus on those long sentences described the appearance of a Geisha. So, she put the book back to the bag then had a wonderful nap.
