Topic Reading-Vol.746-4/27/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
World must end 'dirty' fuel use - UN
It took a week of heated debate between government officials and scientists in Berlin to finalize a 33-page UN report that warns and urges the world to act swiftly to stop or mitigate the pain of global warming. Heated disputes were held between developed that have already enjoyed the benefits of fossil fuels so far and developing that are running the economical race behind the track to decide who will pay the price or endure the pain.
Scientists can prepare and present detailed and accurate maps that shows what conditions lie ahead but it is the government leaders and officials that make decisions where and how to get to the destination and it is the people and companies in the world follow the directions and actually walk. There is no silver bullet or free lunch. The world needs to make a swift shift to renewable energy from carbon-dioxide generating fossil fuels.
However, there is a little relief, the report suggests. Natural gas is mentioned as bridge resource from other fossil fuels like coal and oil to more economically expensive renewable energies.
Enjoy reading and learning how the world is struggling to decide and act on this clear and present danger.
