A European Energy Scenario for EU-25
GREENPEACE
introduction
Climate change is real and it is happening now; the result of the
greenhouse gases we are pumping into the atmosphere, climate change
impacts our lives and is expected to destroy many natural environments in
the coming years. A rise of the global mean temperature of 2°C or more
above pre-industrial levels would mean a dramatic increase in damage to
ecosystems and disruption to the climate system.Today, we are already
committed to 1.2 or 1.3°C warming, even if all greenhouse emissions were
stopped immediately.To keep global mean temperature below the 2°C
level, we have a very short time window to act.Within no more than one
to two decades, we have to change our energy system to meet this target.
Nuclear power is as radioactive and dangerous as ever. Every part of the
nuclear cycle has unacceptable risks, from the mining of uranium, to the
production of energy, to the unsolved problem of safely transporting and
storing radioactive waste and the threat of nuclear proliferation.Today the
nuclear industry tries to present itself as the solution to climate change in
a massive green-washing drive.To replace one environmental catastrophe,
polluting fossil fuel power, with another environmental disaster, nuclear
energy is clearly not the answer.
In recent years, various environmental problems have arisen. This time, I investigated about air pollution. It is the most interested problem for me. I want to explain the cause and measure of air pollution below.
Air pollution happens with our social activity. There are the two main causes. First, when a factory performs a production activity, an air pollution substance is discharged. Second, an air pollution substance is discharged by use of a car.

The article "Think Again: Men and Women Share Cognitive Skills" from the website The Psychology Matters focuses on gender differences in performing in math-related fields from cognitive perspective. Generally speaking, men are good at mathematical and scientific problem solving while women are better in communication skills. Some evidences reported by Hyde, Spelke, and Spencer show rather than genetic factors, cultural contexts are the powerful elements which create this gender stereotype statement. Both boys and girls have equal ability to perform in math and science problems. However, as they get older, more men go on to math and science related fields. The article in The Psychology Matters states the reason for this phenomenon is more men are given opportunities to train in math and science problems. Another factor is the way math and science tests are given or how they are expressed. For instance, when women took tests in Spencer's study, given positive statements which overcome the gender disparity, they did better than those who were given negative statements based on stereotype. The cultural context within a society plays a great role in making gender differences.
Since cognitive skills in math and science are not fully determined by biological factors, changing the way people are educated is essential to eliminate the gender differences. First, men and women will probably have an equal opportunity of going into math-related working forces if they are trained in proble
