Shattered Glass

Just a few days ago I was helping to clear the fridge and was asked to wash the detachable glass panel used to separate the vegetable and fruits drawers from the rest of the fridge. After washing one side of the glass, I turned it over while applying a little pressure on the glass. Suddenly the glass shattered to tiny pieces as fine as grains of sand in my hands. Wonder why this happened?

Anyone with the answers please feel free to post a comment. ^_^

Global Warming

Global warming is upon us and I'm not paranoid or anything. There are signs. Firstly the weather which is suppose to be cool and rainy this time of year but now it seems to be raining less often than it is used to and temperatures are at least 2-3oC higher than previous years.



Secondly, water levels are rising (really fast), it is reported that water levels in Bangkok are rising drastically and even with its extensive system of canals, it is literally sinking many centimeters per year. This would mean Bangkok would be half underwater in 15 years if nothing is done! (As reported in the Straits Times).



Thirdly, despite means to cut down green house gas emissions, it is still not really effective. Many countries like USA, China and developing countries fail to reduce their green house gas emissions despite the ability of doing so and knowing of the dire consequences. For example, despite signing the Kyoto Protocol to reduce green house gas emissions, China has done little to cut down on emissions. Also related to this, Hong Kong and Beijing are losing investors and tourists due to their air pollution problem and air quality in certain areas in China has reached dangerous levels recently! Also, USA, one of the largest contributor of green house gases have not done much to reduce such emissions despite their ability to do so. They rejected invitations to join the kyoto protocol giving an excuse that their economy would suffer if they did join. In addition, many propositions for taking action on global warming has been ignored by the US government. (Whats the use of worring the economy, if your half country would eventually be underwater due to the effects of global warming??).



Hence, we must all do our part to slow or stop the effects of global warming by using alternative sources of energy like nuclear energy, solar energy or even hydrogen fuel cell power for cars. So please heed the warnings!!
"Remember kids, the power is yours!" Seriously!
