7. A 17-year-old built a biofuel lab in her room



Sara Volz of Colorado Springs has managed to do something scientists have been struggling with for years – she refined the process that uses algae to create bio-fuel efficiently. This is proof that bio-fuel production is viable and will most likely replace fossil fuels in the future. It also won Miss Volz $100,000, and honestly – she deserves it!

10. 2014 was possibly the hottest year on record



The UN has announced that 2014 is one of the, if not THE hottest year in history. The head of the World Meteorological Organization said that: “What we saw in 2014 is consistent with what we expect from a changing climate. Record-breaking heat combined with torrential rainfall and floods destroyed livelihoods and ruined lives”. (The picture above is of Lake Oroville in California in 2011 vs. 2014)
