Climate Change and Human Health – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2016/11/13/climate-change-and-human-health

Climate Change and Human Health. Sorry for the late post, but life has been catching up really quickly. Reference: CDC. Climate change affects not only our water resources, our economy, and our food; it also impacts our health. A warm climate is bound to increase the risk of illnesses and death from extreme heat and poor air quality. As I talked before of the impact of climate change on increasing the frequency of extreme events, it will threaten the health and safety. High temperatures and increase in n...

Day Four: A story in a single image – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/day-four-a-story-in-a-single-image

Day Four: A story in a single image. A white rose, the purest of all flowers. The most delicate of all flowers. It can show any impurity. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Such a rose stimulates both good and bad memories. But after today’s unpleasant news of death of a close friend, just looking at this flower makes me remember this short story:. Mom, why do the best people die? When you’re in a garden, which flowers do you pick? The most beautiful ones. Rest in peace my friend. Notify me o...

Day one: I write because… – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/day-one-i-write-because

Day one: I write because…. I’ve signed up for everyday inspiration from WordPress, to keep me writing. And the first post is about why I write. To be honest, I have been writing for who knows how long *check archive* and never have I written a post to talk about why I write. So here goes nothing…. I write because I feel good about it. I write because I can’t express some issues in a direct way. I write because I feel like someone will read what I’m writing and be affected by it. Till next time,. Address ...

Day Five: #everydayinspiration – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2017/01/12/day-five-everydayinspiration

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you. 8211; Marianne Williamson. A Return To Love. Our deepest fear isn’t that we have nothing to give. On the contrary, we have a lot to give. Why fear that we should be the same as our peers? Until next time;. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2017/01/01/hopeful-for-2017

Dear all readers,. I know I’m the worst blogger out there, I can’t blog a specific topic for a long time *hence, the stopping of blogging on climate change* (I hope I can continue it, but I’m not sure anymore). Anyways, back to the real chin-dig, I wish you all a prosperous and successful new year, and may all your troubles be gone, or lessened for the very least. This year I’ve blogged a lot! Well, not a lot, a lot, but it was mediocre blogging, but better than the year before! New years resolution time!

Day Three: Secret – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/day-three-secret

Got a secret, Can you keep it? When I always hear the word “secret”, I always remember the Pretty Little Lairs theme song. Secrets, a word so easy to say, but so difficult to keep. Friends backstab each other over saying their secrets out loud, governments trade secrets. However, doctors swear by their confidentiality. You everything admitted to you for yourself! You never know who might benefit from your big mouth! Till next time,. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Day Two: 20 Things I like.

Negative Emissions – Wanderless in Beirut

https://koukakurls.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/negative-emissions

NB I feel like the worst blogger. I haven’t blogged about this series in the last 25 days, but my studies are catching up and I don’t have any free time left. Anyways, negative emissions are emission technologies that are supposed to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it on land, underground or in the ocean. Some NETs, are in the below figure from CarbonBrief. Even though Lebanon submitted it’s INDC however, there is still a lot to do to the environment to achieve what was planned.
