Answer to Question 1

Whistle blowing is when someone who is working for a firm is aware of an unethical or illegal act that is occurring in their firm that has the potential to harm members of society and the employee who has this knowledge chooses to disclose it to the public or the authorities. Whistle blowing is necessary in the engineering profession because engineers are bound by the code of ethics of their profession to protect the public and whistle blowing provides another method for attempting to protect the public after an engineer has reported whatever could harm the public to their supervisors and no one within the firm addresses the issue.

Answer to Question 2

Some countries are able to meet their emissions targets by emissions trading whereby countries are allowed to sell their emissions credits or debits to other countries or use carbon sinks, such as reforestation, to absorb carbon dioxide and other air pollutants.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
