Earth Hour ended climate change

On the last Saturday of March it was celebrated the Earth Hour, during which lights were turned off throughout the world, to draw attention to climate change. The initiative was born in Sydney in 2007 and now reaches 147 countries, including China, which is now the world's biggest polluter ahead of the United States. As a smart and observing people, Chinese have already learned that these symbolic acts that redeem all the crap that is made the rest of the year, in the eyes of public opinion. The only climate change that actually ended was around those responsible citizens who decided to turn off air conditioning and almost froze to death while the damn hour wasn’t over.

Section of the Great Wall of China discovered

William Lindesay, a British explorer, found a section of the Great Wall of China in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, which was recorded from the time of Genghis Khan attacks, but that was believed vanished. He just had to follow the tips from a retired Mongolian geographer and look for it on Google Earth. It seems almost too easy. But Lindesay has been receiving great international acknowledgment and has been honored with several prestigious awards for his discovery of a retired Mongolian geographer.

China less harsh on birth control

China will soften the slogans they have been using in favor of its policy of each couple to have only one child. Instead of being raw direct, threatening with sterilization or with the demolition of the family house, will now be more restrained. With the growing influence of China in the Western world, perhaps the countries with an aged population can find in this an inspiration for a rejuvenation policy, suggesting to couples to have more children, saying, for example: "If you have less than six kids, your holidays will have just three months."
