Climate change;
Barack Obama decided that “nobody gets a pass”. He demands that everyone joins the climate change fight. On Tuesday, Barack Obama spoke to the general of United Nations in New York. The cause of climate change is primarily our fault; so it is our turn to try to ameliorate the situation. Obama said that we could only succeed by : fighting it and preventing it, if all the nations join forces together. He also mentioned that no one should get an excuse and contributing all together could potentially avoid some environmental human caused disasters in the planet. The world has been producing high levels of Co2. It is mostly the developing economies producing high levels of CO2.

Film review
“Chef” is a hilarious and heart warming film about the struggle of a top Los Angeles chef who feels that his artistic talents are being ignored. The loveable and sometimes arrogant chef is played by the beloved actor John Favreau, the man who played Happy in the Iron Man Movies. Alongside his troubles in the kitchen the chef also faces troubles with his family. In the aftermath of his divorce with his wife played by Sofia Vergara who looks astonishing in this movie, his relationship with his son has been tested by the lack of time they spend together and there seems to be growing tension. All in all Chef is a relaxing and easy going film to watch on a Saturday afternoon, filled with delicious food and great Latin salsa music it is guaranteed to spice up your day.
“The Fault in our stars” was a big surprise to many people including myself. When I heard that another book about a teenage love story had been adapted into a film I thought great another Twilight. But that was not the case at all with this film. Everything from Hazels oxygen tank to her boyfriends artificial leg reminded us about the realities of living in cancer and the films ability to make viewers cry reminds us about the tragedies people face everyday in this world related to illnesses. But not to worry, the film does have it's up moments. Comedy is sprinkled throughout to relieve is from the sadness and more than half of this is thanks to Hazels ever so charming boyfriend Gus. In other words don't be expecting another fan girl obsession like we've all seen before. Expect a good movie.
