Days later, the government of The Greater Bay Area hold a conference about the ice melting in the
North Pole, the conference discusses the solutions to global warming.
The host plugs the Della’s Smart Wireless Screen Sharer, Della's Smart TV soon make a pop-up
window and the host clicks the pop-up window. The PowerPoint slides are being shown on the Della’s
Smart TV, the whole process takes less than five seconds.
“Today, the purpose that I called you all here is to talk about the solutions available for global
warming. As you all know, if we can’t solve the problem of the melting glaciers, the sea level will rise,
the Greater Bay Area may be flooded due to the rise of the sea level.”
“Can anyone think of some ideas to solve this problem?”
“I have an idea, I think the Greater Bay Area is advocating environmentally friendly, we can
investigate some companies which are used to making more environmentally friendly products, we can then
export these products to the world. It is a lot easier to export products to the world than anywhere else in
our city.”
“That’s a possible idea, anyone got any more ideas?”
“We should make more TV advertisements about the importance of conserving the rainforests, I think
there are still an area of football pitch of rainforest lost per day, although it is much better compared to 20
years ago that every second there is used to be an area of football pitch of rainforest lost each second.”
“I think it is also a good idea to reforest the rainforest, we may need to get back the rainforest that we
lost in the past years.”
“That should be working, our Greater Bay Area has many high technology companies, we may grow
back to the original rainforest in a faster rate.”
“Everyone can think of many other ideas at home, today’s conference is now over.”
After the end of the conference, everyone leave the place and go home, they all spend time to come
up with better solutions.
Another conference is held a few days later, the conference passes the ideas of reforest conservation and
investigates the environmentally friendly products. The government decides to replace all the coal power
plants to nuclear power plants. The nuclear power plants are cleaner than the coal power plants as nothing
is burnt in the plant, so this means no greenhouse gas can be released. But the nuclear power plant has
some disadvantages too; it will be dangerous if the nuclear wastes are not being stored properly or if the
power plant is not being managed properly, there is also the possibility of explosions and the Greater Bay
Area will soon have the same luck as the Chernobyl.
A new institute is formed. Scientists are going to do some research about how to reforest a new
rainforest in the shortest time.
There are some TV advertisements play to help advertise the importance of low carbon lives to the
citizens in the Greater Bay Area.
The trees are planted at the streets and many buildings to help to reduce the carbon dioxide. The cars
are all electric, fuel cars which can cause pollution or global warming have already been banned.

After a few years, the glaciers at the North Pole are almost melted, there is a picture of mammoth's bones
presented on the North Pole, it is like a ghost skeleton to the Greater Bay Area. The sea level is raised a
lot, many beaches in the Greater Bay Area are already being flooded. Children have lost an impeccable
place to play and it is not suitable for swimmers to swim in the sea. There are several urgent conferences
hold in the Greater Bay Area.
“You know the situation now, the mammoth’s bones presented on the North Pole, do you know what
this means?”
“A large amount of methane will be released and this will speed up Global Warming.”
“After the melting of the glacier, The coastal areas of the Greater Bay Area will be flooded as the rising
of the sea level. Our masterpiece will be ruined. We are in the hot potato situation.”
