為“地球一小時” 算算賬


2007年,悉尼率先進行了“地球一小時”的嘗試。據澳大利亞能源公司公布的數據,熄燈一小時為悉尼節省了48760千瓦時的電力,相當于40多萬臺電視或80萬只60瓦燈泡同時開啟消耗的電力,減排的52噸二氧化碳,等同于101800輛汽車的一年排放量,悉尼的“地球一小時”看起來頗有成效。然而,當這一係列驚人的數字被公諸于眾後不久,關于“地球一小時”的質疑和批評隨之而來。

一些批評之聲認為,“地球一小時”對于遏制全球變暖來說根本就起不到作用,因為人們在這一小時內節省下來的電是會被其他燒炭的能源抵消掉的。芝加哥大學一位經濟學博士大衛·所羅門還特意對這些數據進行了一次統計分析,並將調查結果寫在了《個人生活方式的改變對減少耗電量有多大效果》的報告裏。在這份報告中,所羅門指出,單純用預計用電量和實際用電量相減就得出用電量減少了多少的計算方法是不科學的。通過計算,所羅門發現,關于“地球一小時”的節電數據實際上無形中包含了當天其他時段用電量的減少數,如果拋開這些因素,這一小時內悉尼的用電量其實僅僅下降了2.1%,在統計學上,這個比例和零沒什麼區別。在分析了南威爾士州過去8年的電力數據後,他還發現,“地球一小時”對電力消耗的減少作用在過去8年中每4天就會發生一次,而這種變化完全是因為電力消耗過程中的自然變化

所羅門希望能用他的“較真”證明,“地球一小時”的象徵意義要遠遠大于它的實際意義。有人在博客上稱這個活動是一種“荒謬的時尚”,認為用蠟燭取代電燈其實得不償失。“一根標準大小的蠟燭充分燃燒後會釋放15克二氧化碳,28根蠟燭釋放的二氧化碳和用來點亮一只10瓦燈泡的碳排放量是相同的。”氣候變化專家蒂姆·布萊爾甚至發起過一個名為“用電一小時”的活動,號召人們在“地球一小時”內盡可能用電,完全就是在和“地球一小時”唱反調。

《澳大利亞人報》的記者馬修·華倫在2008年“地球一小時”活動當天撰寫了一篇報道,標題是《澳大利亞人擁抱的是“地球一小時”,而不是綠色能源》。在文章開頭,他寫道:“數以萬計的澳大利亞家庭和企業在‘地球一小時’結束後再次打開了燈,但他們當中只有10%將會轉用綠色能源。用蠟燭點亮一小時的象徵意義和實際行動之間的差距是巨大的。”
活動主辦方提供的數據,首次“地球一小時”吸引了悉尼54%的市民參與,但有調查顯示,只有8%的家庭簽署了綠色能源計劃。澳大利亞能源零售商奧萊利說,雖然“地球一小時”這樣的活動有助于提高人們對氣候問題的認識,然而,澳大利亞公眾對全球變暖並沒有真正的切身之痛,這直接導致了活動的作用僅僅流于表面。世界自然基金會澳洲執行長格雷格·伯恩也承認,“地球一小時”只是象徵性的。“雖然是象徵性的,但它給了每個人機會去採取行動,即使這些行動對緩解全球變暖的影響很小。”

stay healthy~

fall sick these few days..well, i shd say, God heard what i said n fulfilled my wish..ok..thing happened like this........

Sunday nite, we were studying histology..having nerve tissue test on the next day..but ya know.. sometimes really dun have the mood to sit still infront of my table n only stare at those annoying books..this is so-called uni life..assignment..presentation..tests non-stop..sometimes really wish tat i could run away frm these..perhaps...get sick??this stupid thought keep circulating in my mind.."i want to get sick so that i can absent tmr!!"...who knows...i started to have running nose when i was still studying hard on those nerve tissue...finally i went to bed around 3am...

the next day,thing haven come yet..i went to uni as usual although i was so reluctant to go...first class was histology..test..well..i have to say..i think i had done pretty good in that test n i got a 4^^feel worthy to burn midnight oil on the previous nite..but after that, i started to feel dizzy... feel my head became heavier..even when Ludmila was demonstrating the structure of brain to us in the corridor, i cant stand properly..therefore most of the time i lean on the wall so tat i could save some strength to listen to her explaination..

after the long hard time in histo class, i decided to cut the rest of the classes n lecture..waited so long for the bus..the cold wind blew on my face made me feel more dizzy..

reached home safely, took some pills, sleep...

woke up ard 3.30pm...feel very hot but warm in my blanket...dun feel like get out of my bed coz i feel kinda pain once my skin contacts with the cold air...

last nite,feel heaty...maybe got minor fever...put a small cold towel on my forehead den sleep until this morning...feel much better now...no fever...only got flu...skipped today classes..hope to get enuf rest at home so tat can recover faster...

God really heard my wish tat nite.......
being healthy is better than being sick.......

再次拾起久违的篮球

昨晚真的超爽的!!第一次,打夜球,20年来的第一次!嘻嘻~

为了原本是今天举行的大学运动会(球类运动),本小姐参加了篮球队,代表我们first year的,去了昨晚9点的练习。。。

本以为只是轻轻松松的练下技术,怎知道和校队一起练,各year的代表都来了,30-40人,教练好像也因此兴奋起来,给我们个够够力的体能训练。一开始,跑了篮球场不懂多少圈,应该没有少于10圈,然后练冲刺,倒退跑,整20分钟没有停止的慢跑+脚部动作,传球,上篮,最后一弹板结束当然还有cool down啦~教练带我们做的cool down很周全,全身的筋骨都拉到了,一个字,爽~^^

平时打排球都没有出这么多汗,在马来西亚就会出汗啦,但来到这冰天雪地的国家,流汗是件很难得的事,昨晚总算出了一身汗。^^所以,我打算以后每个拜五晚上都去练篮球,相信是绝对健康而且会让我开心的,就算第二天早上有排球练习,我都想去出身汗!

再说,一个星期下来,星期一和星期五是最难熬的,尤其是星期五,有沉重的anatomy class & lecture。。。熬完后,打下球,出下汗,心情真的愉快轻松多了!^^


亲爱的
终于体会到你为何这么爱运动了
我以后也要常运动
像你一样

Korean Mix Rice???

last nite we had "pot luck"..but this time was a bit different.. we were trying to do Korean Mix Rice with our ownself-created sauce.. the ingredients were common: cucumber, salted carrot, salted mushroom, lettuce, cooked cabbage n chinese cabbage and half cooked egg.. the sauce to mix with the rice is..erm..a bit Chinese..We use: soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, kicap soya pekat, bijirin oil...these r so Chinese..haha..so i think we were doing Chinese Mix Rice instead of Korean.. hahaha..and i did really think b4 to mix with Marmite, TomYam paste, chili powder and watever paste i have..but Cherrie stopped me from doing tat..haha..i think it might probably ruin the taste of my rice or i might get diarrhea the next day..haha..










worst training

ytd was the worst training i ever had..not tat they train bad.. juz tat our performance was really really suck... made alot of mistakes.. no chemical within teammates.. n next saturday is the first match.. wat to do... many things ran in my mind during training.. had a stressful n failure game vs a whole guy team, our seniors, to train us up.. keep on losing marks.. n im the setter.. quite important player in a team, this makes me more stress up... some stupid ideas came in my mind.. "i cant do it, i need someone to replace me, why the former setter didnt join this year??!we will probably loss if i do more mistake... .... ......" my tears nearly drop in the middle of the game.. tried very hard to force my tears to go back in.. phew~everything ends up very bad.. my mood was bad..my teammates either.. but i tried to cheer up coz i know things will be worse if we r so down... ytd was really a bad day.. heart sad.. mood spoilt.. knee hurts.. hands bruises.. Conclusion, gotta buy some knee pad n fingers tape to protect my body.. *winks*
#see, i recovered so fast^^hehe...(ys, u muz too ya.. be tough, gal..)

those guys r really strong.. not to mention their serves.. their spike is frightening too.. hope our opponent wont be like them.. Our first game is versus the champion team of interbatch game.. this shows tat how strong they r as they r the winner in winners..haiz..cant imagine how embarrass it will be if *touch wood!!!* lose the game..

smoker

a hectic week passed again, wanna play hard in this weekend, but couldn't. coz an extremely difficult test which is anatomy colloq on the topic of joints n muscles is coming next Friday. We have to memorize all the names of muscles and joints from head to toes and every of the ligaments, functions, movements, axials, components etc etc...dun feel i can pass this colloq..

Today I passed the Histological part of Muscles colloq, passed, but not very good, im not satisfied with my answers, cant answer all her (Ludmila, our lecturer) questions.. last nite studied until almost 4am wat for??got 4- for the colloq.. someone can get the same mark as me even though the person studied less than me.. a big big failure.. studied hard, but not smart.. stupid!!!haiz~

Had experienced Ludmila's style of giving test today, orally for the whole test, ask questions that r out of my expectation. I wonder what n how she will ask in the next colloq.. better dun be so out of my expectation again. Coz really felt very stupid today to sit beside her n laugh like an idiot saying "wait, let me think, i read tat b4..." while my mind was totally blank... bad..really bad.. anyway, quite relief after passed the colloq^^

Next, some X smoker, dunno what is in his/her mind, smoked in the toilet, the only toilet outside our lecture hall(A6)!! As u know how irritating is the smell of tobacco plus it was in the toilet!!! U can imagine how suffer i was to force myself to use the toilet coz i have no other choice.. I smell like some kind of hangus thingy after came out of the toilet!
hatred!! Hatred!!! HATRED!!!!

gotta sleep early but now is already 2.21am.. tmr got volleyball training at 9.30am.. will get fine if late..10mins 50 roubles.. Vball.. FIGHTING!^^
