WHAT CAN ALBANIA TEACH US ABOUT TRUST?

During the Kosovo war in 1990, many people had escaped from Kosovo for fear of death and the devastation caused by Serbian military forces, and they settled in refugee camps in Albania where many Albanian people were solidarity with his neighbour country by providing food, clothing and medical services.

The author of the new, Quinn Hargitai, explains that her grandmother host a Kosovar family in her house, but many Albanian families didn't have enough money to host a Kosovar family, however many families indebted and sheltered in their homes. The aurhor says that this desire is called besa, "that means to keep the promise and word of honor."The term besa is a code for the Albanians that it means to be generous and hospitable. If someone needs help, you are to offer him a place to remain them. This concept comes from a set of common laws called Lekë Dukagjini, created during the 15th century to rule the tribes of northern Albania.

Another laws called Kanun, say that before the house belong to the owner, it belongs first to God and the guests. Albanian tradition is known as strong tradition and hosptally, because the Kanun says that  you always have to a free bed if some guest appears you can host them. As well says Quinn Hargitai you aren't to force to follow the tradition of besa, but most Albanian people enjoy receiving guests at home, for them it is a point of pride.

But many aspects of besa have been losing over time, apart from the war of Kosovo, Albania suffered a crisi during the Second World War. It was one of the few European contruies that embraced many Jewish population, and even though the repression that offered the Italian Fascists and the Nazis, the Albanian people refuse to surrender their guests, because there was embarrassed to accomodate people that don't love them.

Recently Albania has again establish the besa to accomodate Iran people, and the country has expressed it's willingness to help Syrian refugees. Apart from these heroic cases, Albania is a small and poor Balkan country, and hardly receives international attention for its exploits. At this moment, the Syrian refugees are being rejected by all European borders, and it seems that many European countries have to learn from Albania and her hospitality although it is a poor country.

I think that Albania it's an hospitalary country, and many countries should take example from Albania, even a poor country with few resources, it tries to help at the most harmed people.

GREAT BARRIER REEF SUFFERED WORST BLEACHING ON RECORD IN 2016, REPORT FINDS

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38127320

During this last year, the higher levels of the water caused one of the worst destruction of corals ever recorded in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. According to a study a 67% of the coral reefs located at the north of Australia it died. The bleaching coral begins when the water temperature rises during a temperate climate. During the February, March and April, the temperatures rose 1ºC more than usual, and the mortality of coral reefs was because this fact.

This coral bleaching occurs when transform sunlight into food, this leads to the aparence of white coral, which left without its main source of energy, as it becomes prey for other marine organisms such as seashells and starfishes.

Professor Hughes is convinced that the cause of rising sea temperatures it's because of carbon emissions and he warning that climate change could lead to a constant lightening. The most losses have been in the northern part of the island.

One of the arees most affected is around the Lizard island in far north of Queensland where the 90% of the coral reefs died. The Doctor Andrew Hoey affirmed that is very devasting to visit an area from 20 years you have to visit and now you see in bad conditions. On the Lizard island has been insatlled a scientific station that collects information from the coral reefs, and while we are pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere the temperatures will rise further and cause the extinction of the coral reefs of the Lizard island.

In the central and southern of Australia where the whitening isn't frequent, there are scientifics that begins to concern that as probably a few years may damage certain areas that currently are in safe. The Australian government has published a plan for sustainability the coral reefs and it promised that investigate the bleaching of the corals. This plan is created to help coral reefs that will more resilient to the climate change in a future and trying to reduce carbon emissions.

I think it's important to safe and conserve this protected area, because eventually the coral reefs are disappearing, but not only affect at corals, affect many other marine species that use the coral reefs  for a source of nutrients, for camouflage, to lay and save eggs and it disappearing the colours and forms of this spectacular coral reefs.

EARTH WARMING TO CLIMATE TIPPING POINT, WARNS STUDY

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-38146248

In recent years scientists are telling us that the world is becoming increasingly warmer. They warn that as temperatures are more warmer, the carbon concentrations will increase, and thus released amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, more specifically for each 1ºC will arrive at the atmosphere 55 billion tones of carbon.

These scientists say that most of the reserve of carbon are dissolved in the ground, and while the temperature increases and the terrestrial organisms will become more active and will cause an increase of carbon at the atmosphere, and therefore has been done studies how could decrease the concentrations of carbon from the atmosphere.

For this reason it's important that we are attentive when we hear the latsets news of the climate change, if we can't stop this threat has been estimated that within 20 years in 49 locations around the world, the concentrations of carbon decreases 55 million of tonnes, how more carbon is released from the earth, is causing more warming and the concentrations of carbon in the aire increase. In the carbon cycles, the soil acts as a reservoir where the carbon is stored in a state that doesn't influence directly in the global climate system.

This carbon trapped in the soil, because it is extracted from the atmosphere by vegetable organisms through photosyntesis, and in cold zones, it stored in the soil and minimizes the athmospheric concentrations. In the soils there are microbes, animals that lived under the soils and plant roots that using this carbon to accelerate its growth. if this organisms increase will consume grater amounts of carbon and it's release carbon dioxode a greenhouse gas.

A recent agreements created is The Paris Agreement was signed in December of 2015, where nations agreed to keep global average temperature rise below 2ºC of the permitted levels.

This feedback will exist, and may occur if fulfilling the objectives, but the magnitude of the feedback, and really can cushion these enormous losses if we reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases.

I think it's important to reduce this emissions and take care from as planet, to ensure a better life.
