Part of the "Talk It Out" series.
The tourism industry not only generates significant revenue for locales but also contributes to climate change. Currently, it is estimated that the tourism industry generates about five percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. The percentage is expected to increase by eighty percent by 2035. Climatic conditions are considered a decisive factor attracting people to different geographic areas. However, destinations are beginning to suffer environmental changes as a consequence of tourism. Chapter 6 of Air: Climate Change Series.

If the sun instantly switched off like a light bulb, it would take almost 8 and a half minutes before humans on Earth realized what happened. Light travels at the fastest speed there is, but it still takes almost 500 seconds to get to Earth. This means the sunlight that reaches Earth is old. How is that possible? It is due to the concept of random walks. Part of the “It’s Okay to Be Smart” series.
