    10 Greatest Non-Personal Events/Phenomena Of Your Lifetime?

    Name the 10 greatest events/phenomena that you have been alive for - non-personal, so things like 'Man Landing on the Moon', '1980 Miracle on Ice', 'Death of John Lennon' etc don't think anybody here was alive for V-Day.

    born 1972

    these are mostly things that I didn't appreciate the significance of until much later in my life..

    live aid
    berlin wall coming down
    the internet becoming easily accessible
    seeing what the Prince's trust does
    seeing what the Bill & Melinda trust does (not sure on the exact name of that)

    too lazy to think of any more

                      9/11
                      Death of John Wayne
                      Death of Elvis
                      Northridge Earth quake

                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                      think about that
