愛斯基摩人成為全球暖化首批氣候難民 地球暖化日益嚴重，全球民眾受害，而住在北極圈附近的愛斯基摩人更是首當其衝，因為他們居住的極地小島日漸縮小，有可能遭海水淹沒，因此迫使他們遷移，這使得愛斯基摩人成為全球第一批氣候難民。根據紀錄，美國阿拉斯加地區的氣溫過去30年上升了攝氏4度，導致冰河溶化，海水上升，當地一座小島「沙里契夫」的面積已經減半，北極圈內許多愛斯基摩村莊都面臨不保威脅。當地一名愛斯基摩人說，全球暖化使得他們週遭的風浪一年比一年大，土地流失一年比一年嚴重，漁獲量也不如從前，不少村民已經陸續遷移，但仍有不少人因為經濟無力負擔，留在原地，前途未卜。 ref: http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/070305/1/b5eu.html What is the albedo effect, and why it matters in the climate crisis - https://www.zmescience.com[..]feature-post/the-albedo-effect-05032021/ Coffee waste can help restore degraded land and forests - https://www.zmescience.com[..]-help-restore-degraded-land-and-forests/ How much of our emissions come from agriculture? - https://www.zmescience.com[..]-of-our-emissions-come-from-agriculture/ The rivers that 'breathe' greenhouse gases - https://www.bbc.com[..]the-rivers-that-breathe-greenhouse-gases Biochar can help us keep climate change at bay and more food on the table, according to a new meta-study - https://www.zmescience.com[..]ochar-agriculture-climate-change-246423/ Future Planet - https://www.bbc.com/future/future-planet E airplane - https://www.nationalgeographic.com[..]-we-make-air-travel-and-how-soon-feature https://www.nationalgeographic.com[..]/take-a-look-inside-the-flying-v-feature Heat waves: How France has cut death toll 90% since 2003 - https://www.csmonitor.com[..]-France-has-cut-death-toll-90-since-2003 Restor is a science-based open data platform to support and connect the global restoration movement - https://restor.eco/ bogs - https://www.nationalgeographic.com[..]a-del-fuego-photos-reveal-beauty-of-bogs 4 solutions for trees and forests threatened by a hotter world - https://www.nationalgeographic.com[..]ons-fixing-forests-fight-warming-feature Peatlands help protect us from climate change.

Studies suggest that beta-carotene — strongly colored red-orange pigment abundant in fungi, plants, and fruits, which the human body converts into vitamin A — may increase the risk of lung cancer. Vitamin E supplements had no net benefit in reducing mortality, cardiovascular disease, or cancer whatsoever. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]f-money-for-the-vast-majority-of-people/

A nice table:
| Do
|
Don't
|
| 1. Focus on interfaces. |
2. Be worried about the implementation. |
| 3. Mention semantic contract using interfaces. |
4. Let subtypes break this semantic contract of their parent types. |
| 5. Service decoupling using interfaces. |
6. Be coupled with specific concrete implementation. |
| 7. Family extension using interfaces. |
8. Break the family relationship using concrete implementation. |
| 9. Establish a family rule by abstract classes. |
10. Impose your own rule through concrete classes. |
| 11. Let interfaces answer all "what" about the system. |
12. Forget to mention "how" are you answering all "what" from interfaces. |
Also a good introduction of Strategy pattern
