By 1063 0

Young climate activist Greta Thunberg has announced her plan to trademark her name and the movement she has launched to mobilise the people of the world against the issue of climate change – Fridays For Future.

The decision has been justified on the ground that her global movement has been misused by some to amass funds.

The big decision taken by the youngster has been announced through her social media handle – where she is extremely active nowadays.

Many in the platform have supported her brilliant decision.

Ms. Greta is a global figure at this moment. The Fridays For Future movement she has launched has already surmounted the limitation of border, becoming a powerful global movement to sensitise the people of the world about the problems of the issue of climate change.

The climate activist is very active in the social media. She recently engaged in a heated exchange of words with US President Donald Trump – who is known for his narrow minded attitude towards the issue of climate change.

The activist now has many supporters across the world. Over the last few years, many have come out openly in the streets to voice their support to the cause raised by the activist.

The climate movement is active not only in the west but also in the developing world – even in the under-developed world.

The youngster represents a generation who is worried about the irresponsible attitude of the establishment towards the issue of climate change.

Renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg has changed the name of her twitter handle to ‘Sharon’, in response to the way actor Amanda Henderson reacted to a question regarding the activist during a recent game show.

When the actress was asked to name the most famous teenage climate activist, she named the activist as ‘Sharon’.

The activist is known for her funny reactions using her twitter handle.

A few days ago, when US President Donald Trump advised her to work on managing her anger, she edited her profile to present herself as a teenager working to mange her anger.

Similarly, she also made some funny remarks when she was criticised by Brazil president for supporting the indigenous people live in the Amazon region.

Ms. Greta is the face of the global climate movement at present. She is instrumental in mobilising youngsters in Europe as well as across the world against the issue of climate change.

When she initially entered into the path of the protest, she was just a school student.

Her protest has inspired many school students across the world to speak out courageously against the issue of climate change.

Undoubtedly, she is an emerging global leader.

Big crude oil conglomerates hesitate to reduce their production capacity

By 1266 0

The prime crude oil conglomerates show no interest to reduce their production capacity, despite repeated calls that demand the reduction of their production capacity to bring the pollution rate, especially the carbon emission rate, under the safe limit prescribed by scientists.

ExonMobil

An oil production conglomerate based in the United States, ExonMobil, is set to increase its oil production by at least 25 per cent in the year 2025. Other major oil producers, such as Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Total, are also on the similar path. It is the growing demand for oil that prompts the conglomerates to consider that path. Each year, the demand for oil increases by one to two per cent in the global market.

The aforesaid figures indicate that only the conglomerates are not to be blamed for the raise of carbon in the atmosphere. The world’s reluctance to reduce the usage of oil is also needed to be criticised.

Some of these oil production conglomerates have assured that they would invest in the renewable energy sector.

The past experiences have already taught that the assurances made by conglomerates should not be believed until those enter the phase of implementation.

The world must reduce its oil production by at least 20 per cent by 2030 if it wants to bring the global temperature under the safe limit prescribed by scientists.

The US decision to step out from the Paris climate accord is the biggest mistake that country has ever committed.

A framework like the one formed in Paris several years ago to address the issue of climate change is not to be discarded by any of its founding members until and unless it comes up with another equally applicable framework.
