A pile of stuck up

Every year more and more car come to clogg the busy urban streets. It just increase exponentially as more people could afford engnized transportation. However the efficiency of transporting people from home to work and vice versa isn't improve nowadays as more and more people drive than walk or cycling. As for comparison when i drive my car back home from work it took me almost 25 minutes to reach almost equally to the speed of riding my own bicycle from work which also took me exactly 25 minutes too. Stuck in the traffic inside my own car is just sparking my rage, temper and also waste of fuel and money. As compare to cycling it just give much enjoyment passing through traffic flow like water and laugh my way home plus i got my health and heart improve via simple excercise. Nowdays i view owning a car is just buying trouble rather than happiness. Get a car stuck in a jam and there goes hot boiling pot on your head. I drive car because of unpredictable weather and insufficient facilities to park my bike.

If i were a rich man i wouldn't buy a car, i'll just buy myself light weight bike, comfy gears and good food to fuel up my tummy for the ride. If anyone gives me a Ferrari i'll trade it immediately to save all the troubles on the road. Talk about road tax, insurance and fuel ouch! I wish the world oil wells drains rock bottom and people going electric bike.

Critical haze, totally polluted!

I was surprise when i wake up in the morning ready to drive off to work all the surrounding blanketted with thick haze so thick i can't even see my neighbour house across the road. Even when driving around 6.45am where sun already up the haze blocked the sunlight and made visibility only visible up to maximum 50m. With all my car windows up and air-conditioned turned on the smells of smoky haze sting my nose. The smells are so chocking. Back in the office the smells on my clothing still can be traced. There no surprise that my town people still practice no common-sense open burning during the scroching dry spell weather.

Climate Changes in Copenhagen: BBC debates...lame!.

What happen to peoples rational thinking and common sense nowadays. I've been watching this debates on tv organized by BBC on debate about Climate Changes participated by world leaders and interested party in Copenhagen last Sunday morning. The debate guest includes few leaders represeting smaller and bigger country discussing among themselve about solution to the above matter. My 1 hour listening and watching on these people debating and promising a future for world free polution seems to be much waste of my time since non of them able to come out with a "concrete" solution, instead they way they talk are very much more to political subject rather than straight to the point what causes the polution. Their answer seems to be very vague and ambiguous as if they try to hide hidden agenda and stay away from sensitive issue, their facial expression and tones reveal hidden aura. Yes the hidden agenda definately be oil, gas, infra-structure development and defence program. These factor actually contribute high rate of polution produce by the activity because the machinery runs it produce thermal waste and CO2 products. However stopping it may cause deterioration of human urban and technology development which could improve our standard of living. Sometimes we come to a cross road wether we have to choose development for human improvement or improvement to the eco system, thus both must reached balanced equation just like YIN and YANG terminology for both human and eco interest.

The problem with todays pollution is that the production of Carbon Dioxide (Co2), industrial wastage in the waters and thermal heat generated by human activity especially machinery are produced at very fast rate, too fast for natural environment such as green plants, sea plankton and earth atmosphere to absorb and dispose/filter the waste naturally by the environment. Too fast and we will have surplus of unprocessed waste pollution around the globe. Before the era of automobiles and machinery where oils wasn't much of a commodity in every households in early 1900 the earth weather remain balanced, there no issue about plantation crops running out of water, weather disaster or heat stroke occur in every country. By 1980's with the introduction of computer technology, fast processing power aid businesses to run faster and produce more products in shorter time. Thus fast mean produce product at fast rate, delivery of product at fast rate, digging raw material at fast ratethat includes cutting down the forest for material and urban development and consumer demand also seem to be at fast pace. When things going at fast rate, business entity including public will harness the power of machinery to produce, process and deliver product at shorter time period. This means there will be more factory machinery and transportation to solve the production and delivery problem. All these machinery need to be fueled with gas, petrol, diesel, coal burning and thermal power from coal reactor or worse nuclear powered plant. The world evolve too fast in just 10 years but the trees such as flora and fauna only grow at much little rate than that.

As you can see the problem actually lies on rapid development of urban and consumer need. This contribute much pollution to the environment. For people fast development means more profit or should we say money, with money you repeat again the polution cycle by investing on consumer related production which in turn more machinery and technological work force. If they slow down the "development" at rate by 50% then it would have reduce the consumption of fossil fuel which produce thermal pollution and chemical pollution on waters from consumer factory...slow enough for earth natural flora and fauna to catch up and take time to filter and convert the pollution into safer material such as oxygen or sedimens to be sunk into seas. At the same time nation should concentrate growing plantation crops for food and other plants to balance the eco system but at the same time these activity generate profit and development in food supplies chain throughout the world.

What so hard about finding solution to Climate change problem? Easy! put the brakes on the global economy..you're runing to fast. Slow down, relax and flow smooth like waters in calm river. World leaders should cut down working hours of its people from 8am-5pm change to 9am-3pm. That should reduce world material waste. At the same time more time allowance for family to enjoy outdoor activity and do something usefull in the afternoon and evening.
