Snowball Earth

As the sole human survivor flung into a senseless alien universe, Arthur must come to terms that the planet he once defined himself by is inconsequential: “There was no way his imagination could feel the impact of the whole Earth having gone, it was too big. “He thought of all the people he had been close to. No reaction. [….] McDonald's, he thought. There is no longer any such thing as a McDonald's hamburger. He passed out. When he came round a second later he found he was…

“I believe that humankind has looked at climate change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else's planet as if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.” This quote was said by Leonardo DiCaprio, he explained that many people act towards climate change like it’s something that many people don’t act upon because many can’t imagine this actually happening to them. Many people around the world have different preferences on what climate…

'A Journey into the Inevitable' Shanti Swaroop Kandala Over the years I have always been asked that one question which probably everyone coming out of their family's highly established occupation would have been asked- "why haven't you taken up law?" As Sherman Alexie in his essay "The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me" narrates that he learned to read with a superman comic book, I realized that I was interested in space when I was amused by flying objects. As a child, I was fortunate…

man for not honoring and taking care of God's gift of nature to us, and Hopkins fully surrenders at the fact that God is in control of everything, including the natural world we live in. Hopkins declares in the first line of God's Grandeur that the Earth is filled with God's glory and greatness. "The world is charged with the grandeur of God" (Hopkins 1). We get the feeling that all things that God has made…

Away from the Animal Farm,there are still people who do not value freedom today. How is freedom valued?It means to be respectful to the…

Is it possible to be 16 years old, stranded at sea for 227 days on the same boat as a tiger and come out alive? The answer to this question will most likely be "that's impossible". But Yann Martel wrote a book giving similar instructions on how to do just that. In Yann Martel's novel, Life of Pi, readers follow Pi, a 16-year-old boy, throughout his journey of being stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a tiger for 227 days. Throughout the book, the most definitive theme is survival.…

Earth is a planet that has relatively stable temperatures. This is possible because of Earth’s atmosphere as it consists of a thin layer of gases that forms a “cloak” around the planet. There are 97 percent of climate scientists that agrees that people on Earth has changed its atmosphere in a considerable way over the past two centuries. The results of this is due to the greenhouse effect that causes global warming (Lallanila, 2015b). But what is the greenhouse effect? What is the greenhouse…
