Quiz No. 5 (Top Climate Activists)

Read the following Paragraphs and answer the following Questions Teamwise

Andrew Kimbrell (Lawyer)
Andrew Kimbrell, 51, was a concert pianist and music teacher in New York before he joined an emerging breed of activist lawyers forcing governments to take the environment much more seriously. Last year in the US Supreme Court, he defeated the Bush administration's policy of refusing to regulate global warming. It was a defining moment in the American debate and forced Bush to regulate carbon dioxide pollution from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. Kimbrell is now working with others to devise a new concept of 'natural law' based on the idea that humans are just one part of a wider community of beings and that the welfare of each member of that community depends on the welfare of the earth as a whole. It sounds heretical now, but is traditional in many societies and one to watch in the west.

René Ngongo (Biologist)
Congo DRC is home to the world's second greatest stands of tropical forest after the Amazon, mainly because no timber company could work there during the decades of civil war and insurgency. Now that the war is over, European, Asian and US logging companies are piling in, with the help of the World Bank and international donors, to strip Congo of its most valuable wood. Potentially, it's an ecological and social disaster: more than 20 million people, not least the Pygmies, depend on the forest for their living. Ngongo, 36, is a biology academic from Goma, who has travelled the country investigating the corrupt timber industry and taken his findings to London, Washington and Brussels.

Zhengrong Shi (Scientist)
Dr Zhen grong Shi, 44, is living proof of the cliché that every crisis presents an opportunity. China's search for alternative energy has made the solar cell scientist and businessman one of the country's richest men. The value of his company, Suntech Power, one of the world's 10 biggest manufacturers of solar panels, has risen above the $6bn mark since it became the first Chinese firm to list on the New York stock exchange.

Joss Garman (Activist)
Joss Garman, 22 and just out of university, has been a British environmental activist for eight years. Dubbed the "new Swampy", he has been arrested more than 20 times and helped set up Plane Stupid, a direct action group which in its short-haul life has infuriated airline companies and airports, disrupted the transport select committee and shut down easyJet's London offices.
