Wake Up, Freak Out – Then Get a Grip

It’s much, much later than you think. There's a tipping point ahead. This really isn’t about polar bears any more. At this very moment, the fate of civilization itself hangs in the balance. It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture. It seems we are now dangerously close to the tipping point in the world's climate system; this is the point of no return, after which truly catastrophic changes become inevitable.

[ech0location]

WHY SHOULD THERE BE MORE RESEARCH ON ECHOLOCATION? Echolocation, or other similar processes which include using sound waves in order to identify certain surfaces, enable us to discover media, which we could not have through eyesight. Due to the possiblity to see without eyesight through echolocation, more research should be initiated on echolocation. Research on animals who use echolocation may benefit those who had lost their eyesight, and enable them to lead a normal life again. Blind people often use canes for echolocation, in the future, however, they can soon be trained to use echolocation without a cane. (see video) Another reason in order to research on echolocation is so that we can improve driving security. In the future, cars may be programmed to use high frequency clicks to detect whether someone is about to crash.
