Why Zero? - When it doesn't rain, it pours
6 important questions on Why Zero? - When it doesn't rain, it pours
According to Bill Gates, insect-borne diseases, will appear in places where these have never appeared before because of climate change. How can you explain this?
- As it gets hotter, mosquitoes will start living in new places (they like hummid, so they will move from places that dry out to places that become more humid). As a result, insect-borne diseases, like malaria, will appear in places where they've never appeared before.
A problem related to climate change is heatstroke, which is linked to humidity. How can you explain this?
- Air can contain only a certain amount of water vapor, and at some point it hits a ceiling, becoming so saturated that it can't absorb any more moisture.
- The human body's ability to cool off depends on the air's ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates. If the air can't absorb your sweat, then it can't cool off, no matter how much you perspire.
- Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours.
One study looked at the relationship between wheather shocks and asylum applications to the European Union (EU). Which two conclusions came from this research?
- Even with moderate warming, asylum applications could increase with 28% (450,000 a year), by the end of the century.
- By the time it's 2080, lower crop yields would cause between 2% and 10% of adults in Mexico to try to cross the border into the United States (US).

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How many lives will climate change cause at the mid-century and the end of the century, according to Bill Gates?
- By mid-century, rising of global temperatures are projected to raise global mortality by 14 deaths per 100,000.
- By the end of the century, if emissions growth stays high, climate change could cost 75 extra deaths per 100,000 people.
Bill Gates describes two keypoints of what we can do about climate change, about which two keypoints is he talking about?
- Adaptation: We can try to minimize the impact of the changes that are already here and that we know are coming. This focus will be mainly for the agriculture team at the Gates Foundation, because the climate change will have the worst impact on the world's poorest people (most of them are farmers).
- For example = we're funding a lot of research into new varieties of crops that tolerate droughts and floods.
- Mitigation: Stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, so we have to get to net-zero emissions by 2050.
When the temperatures rises a little bit, for an example from 1.5 to 2 degrees, it doesn't sound like a big problem, why is this actually a very big problem?
- A 2-degree rise wouldn't simply be 33% worse than 1.5, but it could be 100% worse.
