Fortunately， if the worst es to the worst, scientists still have a few tricks up their sleeves. For the most part they have strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of placency that might thwart efforts to tackle the root of the problem. Until now, that is. A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at largescale “geoengineering” projects that might be used to counteract global warming. “I use the analogy of methadone,” says Stephen Schneider, a climate researcher at Stanford University in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming. “If you have a heroin addict, the correct treatment is hospitalization, and a long rehab. But if they absolutely refuse, methadone is better than heroin.” Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen” to the whole pla. One astronomer has e up with a radical plan to cool Earth。s departments. In addition to the usual displays, they also offer film showings and dance programs. Instead of being places that one should visit, they are places to enjoy. One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time. Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population. Many of these young people are college students or college graduates. They are better educated than their parents. They see things in a new and different way. They are not content to stand and look at works of are。s image of the mad scientist. This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university. If we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects, we need to change this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive.

The people were asked to identify the physicist from a 2 photograph of a lineup of possible suspects. 98 percent of those asked got it wrong. The majority of people picked a white male of around 60, wearing glasses and with a white beard. While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago, the reality is now very different. Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31. The stereotype of the absentminded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards full of equations(等式 )or working with fizzing (嘶嘶響 )test tubes. These stereotypes are really damaging to society. Very good school children are put off studying science because they don39。s interest in science. In an attempt to change this negative image, an increasing number of science festivals are being anized. Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in nationwide science petitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads. Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country every year. These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science. It seems that there is a long way to go before science bees attractive as subjects like puter studies or fashion and design. 1 Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like.
