World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem

I've read an aricle in BBC called "World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem" by Roger Harrabin. It was about problem of carbon emission in the world, but mainly among wealthy people. The raport
from the UK-based Cambridge Sustainability Commission on Scaling Behaviour Change says that1% of wealhy people produce two times more carbon than 50% poor people. 

It's the global problem. One of solutions by the author is to deter frequent flying and the use of SUVs and to persuade the wealthy to insulate their homes well. He also said, that implementing new "clean" technologies, will be more successful, than implementing hefty penalties or lifestyle restrictions.

Wealthy people have completly different lifestyle, than poorer people. in my opinion it will be hard to change their everyday life, because they are accustomed to a good conditions in everything they have and they do. The problem can be solve only if they want to cooperate with others. In other case nothing can help.

    On top of that, rich people are often arrogant and act with impunity. They feel no one can tell them what to do. So the problem is real.

The largest airport in the world

  First we need to estabilish our criteria.  The largest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic is Dubai International Airport.  It is the seat of one of the world's most luxurious airlines - Emirates. Dedicated for use by this Airline, Terminal 3 increased Dubai International’s total capacity by 43 million passengers per year. The airport is not small in terms of the area either; it spreads over an area of 2,900 hectares. In total, it has 3 terminals, however Terminal 3 in Dubai International airport is the second-largest building in the world by floor space and the largest airport terminal in the world. With 88 million passengers, 2.65 million tons of cargo, and 409,493 aircraft movements in 2017, it is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic and has been so for four consecutive years. Dubai International airport is also the sixth-busiest cargo airport in the world. https://www.oxfordsaudia.com/en/blog/largest-airport-wor...

The biggest airplane crash

 The biggest plane crash was a collision of two planes on 27 March 1977 at an airport in Tenerife. Two Boeing 747 passenger jets, operating KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736, collided on the runway at Los Rodeos AirPort (now Tenerife North Airport) on the Spanish island of Tenerife. In total, 583 people died. This accident is the dealiest in aviation history. Sixty-one of the passengers on the Pan Am flight survived. Now the question is: What caused the collision in which so many people died? Like many serious accidents, the cause was not a single error or failure but a chain of events that ultimately led, in his case, to this accident. As the airport was unusually busy that day, some aircraft were required to taxi down the main runway prior to take off and then make a 180-degree turn, in a maneuver called a "back-taxi", which the KLM flight was requested to do. The Pan Am 747 follows shortly after but was requested to exit the runway. During the maneuver, the Pan Am pi...

Finland remains happiest country in the world - even during Covid

I've read an article in Independet by Chantal da Silva called " Finland remains happiest country in the world - even during Covid". It shows that Finland is on the of World Happieness Report, for the fourth year in a row. In this year Finland was was put to the test because of Covid-19 pandemic, but it wasn't an problem. In fact, it was something that helped the residents of Finland during the lockdown. People trust each other and have confidence in government. Maybe this was crucial thing in this situation. The other countries in this ranking was merely in north Europe (9 out of 10). Afganistan found the least happy country in the whole world, with Zimbabwe and Rwanda just above the South Asian nation. It shows that in the north of europe people are happier than somewhere.
