UFO SCIENCE COULD COMBAT GLOBAL WARMING
According to a report submitted to the UN, the US will emit even more greenhouse gases
than now by 2022. The United States is already one of the world's largest polluters. It releases
25% of the pollution that is responsible for global warming. What's worse, more and more
scientists are concluding that global warming cannot be stopped. We can only limit how much
hotter the Earth will become, and how long the higher temperatures will stay. But even if all
countries were to stop their greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, temperatures would still rise.
But maybe the answer to global warming is simpler. Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian
defense minister from the 1960s, has asked all governments to come clean on UFOs. With alien
technology, he has explained, we could find different, cleaner energy sources within a
generation. Those spacecrafts have traveled great distances to visit our planet. They must be
equipped with advanced engines and energy systems.
ARE YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING DUMBER?
Research carried out in the United States has discovered that young people no longer read
newspapers regularly. The researchers claim they are astonished that, whereas decades ago
young and old Americans got their news from the same sources, nowadays teenagers and young
adults don’t read a newspaper as part of their typical daily routine. Young people’s lives aren’t
built around routines, but are often chaotic and unplanned. What’s more, why should they make
the time to read something that was never written with their interests in mind, anyway?
Some people have taken the results of this research to conclude that, because young
people don’t read newspapers, they must be less well-informed. But they fail to consider that the
widespread use of the Internet has not only changed but improved the way young people access
the news. Newspapers are quickly becoming old-fashioned, and as more older people get used to
obtaining news faster and for free online, newsprint will soon be a thing of the past read only by
those too afraid to use a computer.
