Sa simpleng pagbaha sa mga kalsada ng Maynila at iba pang siyudad at ang paninisi ng mga tao sa mga basurang nakabara sa mga ilog at estero na siyang sanhi nito ay isa muling patunay na hindi na natin kailangang lumayo pa para makita at maramdaman ang mga maling gawain at kaugalian nating mga tao kugnay sa kalikasan.
Mula sa walang pakundangang pagmimina, pagtotroso, pagusunog ng mga panggatong ng mga industriya at sasakyan, mula sa pagtatapon mga dumi ng pabrika at residensyal sa mga ilog, lawa at sapa, hanggang sa simpleng pagtapon ng pabalat ng kendi sa labas ng dyipning ating sinasakyan, patuloy na sinisira nating mga tao ang ating kapaligiran. At sa bandang huli, dahil na rin sa ating pagkakaungay-ugnay, tayong mga tao muli ang tatamaan ng mga problemang ito at kadalasa’y buhay ng mga inosente ang kapalit.
Because of the huge number of PCs in the world, volunteer computing can (and does) supply more computing power to science than does any other type of computing. This computing power enables scientific research that could not be done otherwise.
This advantage will increase over time, because the laws of economics dictate that consumer electronics (PCs and game consoles) will advance faster than more specialized products, and that there will simply be more of them.
Volunteer computing power can’t be bought; it must be earned. A research project that has limited funding but large public appeal (such as SETI@home) can get huge computing power. In contrast, traditional supercomputers are extremely expensive, and are available only for applications that can afford them (for example, nuclear weapon design and espionage).
Volunteer computing encourages public interest in science, and provides the public with voice in determining the directions of scientific research.
So, is the greenhouse effect bad? If there’s too much of its effect, like what we’re experiencing now then it is bad. Extreme examples of this can be found in the planet Venus wherein the it suffocates from its own atmosphere of greemhouse gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and others. Of course when the opposite happens, our planet will be too cold life as we know it would find it very very hard to thrive and flourish.
Now on to ozone depletion. We all know that up in our atmosphere, is a layer of gases the provide us with an extra yet very important protection from the harmful radiation from the sun and space, it’s the ozone layer. Ozone in the earth’s stratosphere is created by ultraviolet light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3.
