Climate Change

Last Thursday, our* dear new friend Mr Tang invited us to KLPac. It was really good, though I wanted to just go for shopping the whole day, but Calvin was excited to go for the Climate Change Documentary at KLPac. By the way, KLPac is Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre. It is located at Sentul West, a project by YTL.

The place has a lot of greens, big green fields with lots of trees. We drove along a long narrow road in between the greens. Then, there are some of the old buildings; the old structure of clay bricks with some white paints covered the outer building. Makes you feel very serene. You know what? It can good place to take wedding pictures.

After that we reached the KLPac. Very creatively renovated, it is a modern renovation done on the old colonial times structure. So, it is partially bricks with modernized architecture. Hmm…cool!

I was actually delighted to see our school chairs and table (behind)

After I watched the Climate Change Documentary, my eyes were opened. Yes, very educational program. It is not a James Bond movie alrights, but it is a documentary about Global Warming.

A few prominent messages I got from the documentary,

· Climate change is a direct result from man’s abuse in environment

· It is evident in the increasing global warming, tsunami, floods, food and crops unable to produce, animal extinction, Katrina earthquake, etc

· Nature has been surviving and will survive; it is man that cannot survive in this nature. Looking back, many creations such as animals went to extinction. Man is just one of the creations.

· The documentary namely “The 11^th Hour” also presented some actions can be taken by individuals, organizations and governments.

Here are some suggested by Tan Sri Francis Yeoh in his speech,

• Hybrid cars, which are virtually market ready, would quadruple our fuel efficiency

• Solar technology will do wonders in sunny climates, such as Asia, Africa for example, and at a competitive cost with fossil fuels.

• And efficient land management strategies would end today’s tropical deforestation, which now contribute to about one-fifth of all global carbon emissions, as well as massive losses of biodiversity.
