Scientist James Lovelock had set up the "Gaia hypothesis" back in 1969. It's "the Earth viewed as a vast self-regulating organism". The hypothesis contributed significantly to our understanding of global warming. I would recommend everyone to read his books about Gaia. James Lovelock is still vital, though at an advanced age.
Happy birthday dear James Lovelock!

Vegan Parents Couple Avoid Jail
An Australian couple, who fed their baby daughter a strict vegan diet resulting in severe malnourishment, has avoided jail time. The couple was sentenced to an 18-month jail term to be served as a community order.
There is a huge difference between vegetarian and vegan. Vegetarians don't eat animal products, but vegans don't eat animal products and by-products (e.g. eggs).In my opinion vegan diet isn't good, it is lacking proteins, vitamin B-12, zinc, iron, calcium...
Another example I would like to point out is how vegans supplement milk: they use soy, rice, or almond milk, but are there any almonds in your almond milk?

I'll remain "Lacto-Ovo vegetarian" - do not eat meat, poultry, or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products, because improved health is one of the major benefits of a vegetarian diet, and it's good for the environment.

Happy World Elephant Day - August 12
Protecting elephants is an important part of fighting climate change. Why? Because every day across Africa and Asia, elephants disperse billions of seeds, some of which will grow into the forests of tomorrow, sequestering and storing carbon, generating rainfall and stabilizing our climate. Save the elephants to save the forests to save the world!

We Have Consumed Planet Earth Resources for This Year, but Population Will Rise to 11.2 Billion in 2100

Global Footprint Network has calculated that we have consumed planet Earth resources for this year. Our planet has limits to how much it can regenerate naturally, and we are exhausting it much more.

There are going to be a lot more old people by the year 2100. I recommend setting up regulations like China had "One-child policy".

5G is Coming to Customers - Update
Wireless can have the same low latency and high reliability as a wireline connection5G technology will revolutionize the industry, but there is a long road to a smart city, or "Internet of Things" reality, in about five years. Also with a help of mixed or augmented reality, you will be able to learn or repair something easier.
Read about another viewpoint, my criticism of mixed reality / electronic contact lens hardware:

Global Warming is Confirmed - Civilization is Collapsing
Difficult times are ahead and there isn't artificial intelligence or a fusion energy reactor that will save the day. There has been so much wrongdoing, so much injustice and I'm afraid there is going to be a lot more. I don't see myself as a lazy person and that's why I hold a responsible "work cult" for most global problems. We got trapped in this "work cult" and there is no easy way out of it.
Many cities will be underwater by 2050. Most of the wildlife will extinct. The temperature will rise 1, 2, 3, 4, or more degrees. There will be shortages of many items, lack of leadership...
In all branches of science people pressurized facts to maximize profit e.g. too many pesticides on crops. There will have to be a lot of brainstorming and deep changes for survival in such awkward circumstances. I hope we'll manage to preserve those fragile human rights we have.
