Yuli Petkova joins IAE 2008
17th February, 2008Yuli’s initial thoughts on climate change…
We all know of some of the impacts of global warming – snow-covered mountains turn into lonely bare peaks, the ski season gives way to slush season”, and terrible hurricanes hit lands unprepared for such extremities. Although I have never visited New Orleans, I am hardly an avid skier and it will take me some time to find the Kilimanjaro on the map (not a relief one), I am affected by the climate change, as is every one of us. And since I am affected personally, I have to ask myself the question: what can I, as an individual, do to minimize this effect? I am looking forward to getting an answer to this question in the next few weeks.
