Climate change solutions
According to climate experts, one big problem we have right now is too much CO2 in the air. If we can out CO2 into the air, can we take it back out? At the moment, trees do this job - just not fast enough. So could we make treelike machines to do the job? Scientist Klaus Lackner of Columbia University in New York says yes and several companies are already developing the idea.
Smarter power for vehicles
• Electric car are more and more common all over the world, and the technology is getting better. And if you recharge the batteries with electricity which comes from solar and wind power, they are very clean technology.
• By law, the petrol sold in Brazil is 25% ethanol - a fuel made from sugar. It pollutes less than ordinary petrol. However, growing the sugar uses a lot of energy, and some people say the fuel can damage car engines.
• Hydrogen - a natural part of water - is used in some vehicles, including buses in cities around the world. It’s a great fuel, because the only waste it produces is water. The big problem is that making hydrogen fuel creates a lot of pollution.
Smoke to make shade?
Smoke from volcanoes and forest fires is known to block the sun and cool the Earth. Scientists at the University of Bristol in the UK have done experiments to test the idea of creating smoke to cool the world. The idea is disliked by most experts as a possibly very dangerous way to fight climate change. Dr Hugh Hunt, director of the research projects, said that the technology won’t be developed in the near future.
A vegetarian diet?
According to a report by the United Nations, producing meat creates more greenhouse gas emissions than transport - 18% of the world’s total. Eating less meat would help to reduce emissions and possibly fight global warming. Cities in Belgium, Brazil, Germany and South Africa - among many others - have “no-meat” days to bring the issue to people’s attention, and try to fight climate change close to home.
These are big ideas, but the solution in the end may be a big sum of small actions.

If You Have These Skills, No Robot Will Ever Take Your Job
Kayla Matthews March 29, 2017 7 minutes
Losing your job to robots is no longer a sci-fi fantasy. Some estimates say robots may take over more than five million jobs across 15 developed countries. Machines could account for more than half the workforce in places like Cambodia and Indonesia, particularly in the garment industry.
The good news: there are some skills robots can’t embody, and if you have them, there’s no need to worry about losing your job due to robotic advancements. Better yet, many of them are transferable, meaning they can help you advance your career, even if you need to change industries.
Here are four skills that can keep your job from being handed off to a robot.
(I) _______ Skills
Robots seem smart. However, they only know what their programmers tell them. There are some exceptions, such as robots powered by machine learning that get smarter through acquired feedback over time. Even so, people able to demonstrate the ability to work out solutions using analytical thinking, such as IT personnel, can feel confident about job security during the rise of robots.
(II) ______Skills
This broad group of skills applies to many jobs, whether you’re leading a team of 20 people who are hard at work developing a new iPhone app or maintaining an upbeat, productive workforce at a Fortune 500 company. People often depend on robots to complete segments of projects, but those machines can’t manage huge organizational accomplishments from start to finish. Also, robots can’t feasibly handle all the things human resource experts do.
(III) ,_____ Skills
Even the most advanced robots can’t genuinely practice the crucial skill of understanding what people feel. This skill is especially useful if you work for a charity, support statistically disadvantaged segments of the population, or assist people in the healthcare industry.
(IV) _____ Skills
One inevitable thing about robots is they malfunction. When that happens, people need to know how to read error codes, make educated diagnoses, and perform repairs. (...).
