THE idea of the CENTURY

I really like this design and think that I might remake it I'll just need to figure out the measurements.
For the design to fit the brief, I'll need to squish it up a bit, but I think that it'll work.

Comment on Global Warming.

Global Warming is a huge environmental problem that the world is facing today. Global Warming is where there is too much air pollution that creates holes in the ozone layer and allows large amount of excessive heat to enter earths atmosphere and that is affecting the habitats of many animals, especially the ones that live in colder climates.
People around the world aren't being energy efficient causing power plants around the globe to burn more fossil fuels such as coal which release large amounts of Carbon Dioxide into the air creating the holes in the ozone layer.
Then there is the fact that the human species is constantly cutting down trees for building both necessary and unnecessary things and also for the creation of the millions of sheets that are used and wasted around to globe by majority of the worlds population. These have caused a large percentage of rainforests like the Amazon Rainforest to be chopped down, taking away millions of animals habitats and forcing many species onto the road to extinction. Also, with the large amounts of trees being cut down the human species is taking away giant carbon dioxide filters. Trees naturally take in carbon dioxide and release Oxygen gas, which is needed by all living organisms on earth to survive. These are just some of the reasons why global warming is a large factor in the destruction of the planet earth and we, as humans, are driving our planet towards the edge of the cliff.

Define the following lighting terms.

Ambient Light: The light surrounding an environment or object.
Direct light diffuser: A device to redirect or scatter light from a source.
Luminosity: The brightness of a light source of a certain wave length as it appears to the eye.
Energy Efficiency: The percentage of total energy input to a machiene or equiptment that is consumed in useful work not wasted as useless heat.
Watts: An international unit of measurement of power equal to one joule per second.

What is the actual difference between light of different colours?

All light has different colours but usually they are mixed together. for example, when you burn something, the colours in teh flame will show you which materials are being burnt du to each element having its own colour signature.
