Korea to Cut Greenhouse Gas by 4% by 2020

summay:
Korea will announce its long-term goal of reducing greenhouse gas.
Committee is seeking to cut the country's combined carbon emissions by 4 percent by 2020 from 2005.

reaction:
Reducing greenhouse gas is so wonderful.
What Korea take the head the good movement is so proud.
But reducing by 4% is the maximum level to developing country.
So, is there any need to overdo like that in our condition?
Reducing by 4% is so excess in our condition.
Why did Committee decide excessly?

Recently I read a book two times, that title is "Bad samarians"
After I read that book, I was very concerned about the relation developed countries and developing countries. According that book, developed countries insist on developing their own country with right way to developing country.(Of course, to develop their own country with right and fair way is so good, but developed country just didn't develope with right and fair way. After they used unfair way, they insistet on fair way to developed country. It's a "Kicking away the Ladder" theory. After they used a ladder, they kicked the ladder, because of not climbing any other country.)

Anyway, I think I'm a environmentalist just a little.
I concerned about our environment.
I'm so confused between two way.

News of choice #2 A H1N1 flu to-do (and don't do) list

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/24/swine.flu.checklist/index.html#cnnSTCText

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reaction
Now, it is so cool and some cold in Korea. So there are so many patients with h1f1. Till now, dead men are aapproximately 34, and many chldren are sick with h1f1, so many school are closed temporary. I'm so afraid of my babies' healthy, and I do want know U.S.A'policy with H1F1. and so I seached it. I found a few articles, there are so bad news. I'm disappointed.
Anyway, I want my babies to be healty, I'll be more careful. I must look up local flu outbreaks, call a hospital when they give a shot, must keep our babies' hand clean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
summary
H1N1 flu to-do (and don't do) list
1. Look up local flu outbreaks.
If you're getting most of your news from the Internet -- and about 40 percent of people say they do -- you may not be up on H1N1 activity in your community.
2. Don't panic.
For most people, an H1N1 infection is generally mild and can be cured with time, bed rest, and fluids. The virus is serious, though -- particularly for those in high-risk groups.
3. Stay home.
Are you sick right now? Say, with flu-like symptoms such as fever, aches, stuffy nose, and chills? Sorry, but it's quite possible you already have swine flu. Experts say that flu activity is higher-than-normal for this time of year and almost all of it is due to H1N1. If you (or your child) are not in a high-risk group, it's best to stay put.
4. Understand the risks.
While the symptoms of H1N1 may be no different from seasonal flu, there are some key differences. H1N1 may be easier to catch than regular flu, and younger people may be more likely to come down with it than older people.
5. Get a pneumonia vaccine.
the pneumonia vaccine, a shot that can help prevent any illness caused by certain types of pneumococcus bacteria, including meningitis and ear infections, may be a good idea too.
6. Wash your hands.
7. Don't stock up on face masks or Tamiflu
8. Get a swine flu vaccine -- really.
If you or your child is perfectly healthy, you can get the nose-spray version, which contains a weakened, but not killed, virus. Unfortunately, if you're in a high-risk group, you may have to wait a bit for the version with killed virus, which is given in shot form. Those should be available in mid- to late-October
9. Be prepared
"Get immunized, wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose if you're sneezing or coughing, stay home if you're sick, and if any warning signs come up -- difficulty breathing, not responsive as usual, unable to take fluids, or after a day or two of the fever coming down and having more fever and cough again -- see the doctor," says Litman.
