At this writing, over 2,500 people have died in the Philippines after the strongest storm measured

Two minutes into his speech broke down Naderev volan za pc Sano. He had just witnessed the typhoon Bopha - so far the strongest of its kind, with devastating effects on the Philippine island of Mindanao. He could not help that, for a moment, go beyond its role as a balanced climate negotiators.
In last week announced the World Meteorological Organization, WMO, the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere last year reached a new record and that carbon dioxide levels are now 41 percent higher than in pre-industrial times and that 2013 was the date the seventh warmest year ever. A year ago, the World Bank warned that we are heading towards a four-point heating the end of the century if business-as-usual continues as now.
And last week expressed Yvo de Boer, former head of the UN Climate Convention, the acute state in the strongest possible terms: "The only way for an agreement in 2015 to be able to keep the two degree target is to shut down the entire global volan za pc economy."
At this writing, over 2,500 people have died in the Philippines after the strongest storm measured over the country - Haiyan - pulled in over 44 of the country's 80 provinces. Nearly volan za pc 12 million people, more than a tenth of the population, have been affected. The UN estimates that 800,000 people are homeless. Behind the numbers are real people with lives, dreams, hopes.
The risk is of course that Cop19 become yet another negotiation that runs out of steam, and the Philippines soon torn apart again by an even stronger storm, loaded with excess energy from the heated oceans.
Philippine volan za pc climate volan za pc negotiator Naderev Sano, whose family volan za pc suffered Haiyan announced at this year's Cop-meeting that he will go on hunger strike during the negotiations until meaningful emissions reductions has begun.
From this year's climate volan za pc summit volan za pc he writes, with palpable anger: "We refuse to accept that escape from storms, evacuation volan za pc of our families, the suffering of devastation and misery and accreditation of our dead becomes our new way of life. We simply refuse. " volan za pc

It becomes suspicious when you link to an article that describes some of the truth. What is interesting is that the Greenland ice overall is decreasing, and in an increasing volan za pc tempo. http://www.svt.se/nyheter/vetenskap/ny-forskning-isarna-smalter-snabbare
One more time: Which of these articles claim that land ice in Greenland, overall increases? I can not see it when I read the summaries.
My question volan za pc remains. Which of the three articles claiming volan za pc that the ice sheet in Greenland increases overall? Such a sensational conclusion should be in the summary. .............. It's weird if you do not know that the ice in the Arctic reduces volan za pc the surface area and volume. This is why the interest in oljeutvining and new shipping lanes in the Arctic increases. Look at real data, especially under the heading "Trend says more than a single year" http://www.smhi.se/nyhetsarkiv/arktis-2013-inte-fullt-lika-extrem-avsmaltning-1.32709 volan za pc
"If you are forced want a quick so watch the top chart in the above link." But the chart shows only numbers in September Maad? It shows well just that it gets colder in the fall?
Daily Mail is making a grave error when you just compare this year's measured value last year, and beat up this big. While hiding the annual from 1980, showing a dramatically shrinking ice cap. It is not possible to draw any conclusions based on two years of measurements. It is journalism at really low level.
It is not the Daily Mail that come to this. If you actually read the article you will see that it is the NASA-funded National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) which developed specifications. It is strange how you cling to delusions-
The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year. More than 20 yachts That had planned to sail it havebeen volan za pc left ice-bound and a cruiseship Attempting the route was forced to turn back.
Some eminent scientists now believe volan za pc the world is heading for a period of cooling thatwill not end until the middle of this century - a process That would expose computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming as dangerously misleading.
The disclosure comes 11 months after The Mail on Sunday triggered intense political and scientific debate by revealing That global warming has 'paused' since the beginning of 1997 - an event That the computer models used by climate experts failed to predict.
The pause - Which has now been accepted as real by every major climate research center - is important, Because The models' predictions of ever-increasing global tempera tures not have made many of the world's economies volan za pc divert billions of pounds into 'Green' Measures to counter climate change program.
The from continuing furore Caused by The Mail on Sunday's revelations - Which will now be amplified by the return

First up were the U.S., now follow the rest of the world behind. Stand up paddling, SUP, is the world's fastest growing paddle sport. SUP is what it sounds like, that man standing paddling a surf board model bigger with a enbladig paddle. The Swedish company Point 65 Sweden has developed the world's first separable SUP boards.
- SUP is crazy fun, but board is unwieldy to transport and store. Point 65 Rum Runner is divisible and is quick and easy to stow in the car, or store in the apartment, said Richard Öhman, founder of Point 65 Sweden.
Water Sport SUP grew up in Hawaii for surfers who wanted to go out when the waves were too small for regular surfboards. The sport has grown rapidly and many estimate that is fun, easy to learn and quickly provide increased strength, endurance and balance. In the days presented Point65 Rum Runner which is specially designed for paddling in calm waters, is sturdy and has a so-called displacement that fits better to paddle when there are no waves.
Point 65 Sweden is the leading Scandinavian kayak brand and one of the fastest growing kayak companies with sales in 41 countries. The company develops russo watertown and produces kayaks and also have a kayak chain with a number of experience center around Sweden.
- We had never dreamed of this kind of response, russo watertown especially from the U.S., Germany, Australia, the Middle East, France and Scandinavia. In addition to large retailers like REI, Dick's Sporting Goods and LL Bean also has such trader in Switzerland bought russo watertown to paddle in mountain lakes, says Richard Öhman.

This is a guest post by Richard Heinberg, Post Carbon Institute, an article, "Temporary Recession or end growth" which he published August 11, 2010 of an earlier article chartwells food service from 2009. ASPO Sweden has been given permission to translate the full post to Swedish and publish chartwells food service this here. Translation probably a lot of mistakes when the original is quite difficult and complicated, I've done the best I can, but like the article is a very good summary of the situation. It's a long article so take your time to read it, so over to Richard Heinberg.
Everyone agrees: our economy is sick. The inescapable symptoms include declines in consumer spending and consumer confidence, together with a contraction chartwells food service of international trade and available credit. Add a collapse chartwells food service in real estate values and carnage in the automotive and aerospace industries, and the picture chartwells food service looks grim. But why are both the U.S. economy and the larger global economy ailing? Among the traditional media, world leaders and U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner and Fed Chairman Bernanke's almost a unanimity of opinion: these recent chartwells food service troubles due primarily to a combination of bad real estate loans and poor regulation of financial markets . This is the conventional diagnosis. If this is correct, then the treatment chartwells food service for our economic malady logically, including massive chartwells food service bailouts for needy financial institutions, chartwells food service mortgage chartwells food service lenders, and car companies, better regulation of derivatives and futures markets, and stimulus programs to jumpstart consumer chartwells food service spending. All these measures have been tried and found lacking. chartwells food service Is this diagnosis is therefore fundamentally flawed? The metaphor needs no belaboring: we all know that tragedy can result from a doctor's misreading of symptoms, mistaking one disease for another.
Something similar holds for our national and global economic ailments. If we do not understand why the world's chartwells food service industrial and financial metabolism is seizing up, we are unlikely to apply the right medicine and could eventually make the situation much worse than they otherwise would be. To be sure: the Conventional chartwells food service Diagnosis is at least partly right. The causal connections between subprime loans and the crises in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers have been thoroughly researched and are well known. Clearly, over the past few years, speculative bubbles in real estate and financial industry were blown up to enormous dimensions, and their bursting was inevitable. It is hard to disagree with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's words, in his article July 25, 2009 in the Sydney Morning Herald: "The cause of the crisis lie in the preceding chartwells food service decade of excess. In this world, we experienced an extraordinary boom .... But, as we later learned, the global chartwells food service boom was built largely as a ... house of cards. First, in many Western countries the boom was created on a lot of debt held by consumers, businesses and some governments. As the global financier George Soros put it: "For 25 years [the West] have consumed more than we have been producing ... living beyond our means. "(1) But this is as far as we need to look to get to the root of the continuing global economic meltdown? A case can be made that dire events

Almost two and a half million dollars is what the project

Almost two and a half million dollars is what the project "Increasing transportation efficiency through affiliated to better utilization of capacity" can recoup when Vinnova distributes the first envelope under the call transport and environmental innovations. The announcement is part of Vinnova Innovations for a sustainable society affiliated to as running from 2013 until 2016. Program aims to contribute new knowledge on transport and the environment and to contribute to the environmental quality and transport policy objectives that exist in Sweden can be met. Magnus Blinge at the Department of Technology Management and Economics at Chalmers is one of the researchers leading the project.
Hi Magnus and congratulations to the financing from Vinnova! How does it feel? - Thank you, it feels great! We have had some difficulties in recent years to find funding for our graduate students in the Department of Logistics and Transport so it feels great to now have been able to secure that three of them have financing up to doctoral level.
Tell us more about this project! What are you investigating? - We research on the question how the efficiency of the transport system can increase through better use of the cargo space available in existing vehicles and spacecraft. affiliated to We hope that the new knowledge will lead to reduced environmental impact and improved economy for the stakeholders involved. Especially important and gratifying is that we have been able to bring a breadth of dedicated transport buying affiliated to companies, but also several agencies. The interaction between different actors is everything to find solutions in a system as complex as this.
How will the money be used? - In addition to graduate student funding allocation will be used to develop educational materials and customized training to the participating affiliated to organizations to ensure that the knowledge affiliated to actually comes in handy. We will organize a number of seminars to be sure to get an accurate picture of the problem. We also plan to produce a number of web-based training to help businesses themselves to disseminate knowledge and thus also give other organizations that are not directly involved in the project the opportunity to increase their knowledge.
What scientists involved in the project? - It is led by Dan Andersson, Mats Johansson and me while Vendela Santén, Sara Rogerson and Kristina Liljestrand are graduate students who will work in the project.

Record number of senior-level participated when it was time to crown the winners of this year's Future transport. It is Universeum, Chalmers and several other organizations in the transport sector which organizes epos orange the competition where seventh-and eighth-graders make up about building the smartest transportation solution. For the winners from the North Lyckeskolan 8B now waiting overnight for the whole class among sharks and reptiles at Universeum. They even praised by 10000 crowns and may present their innovative epos orange projects for the City's trafiknämnd.
The competition was held on a Universeum that completely swarmed hopeful high school students and curious representatives. Full thirty grants were issued and it was a sweaty jury that after long deliberations finally crowned North Lyckeskolan 8B as the day's biggest winner, epos orange thanks to the boat Green Ocean that manages to combine epos orange several different renewable energy sources.
The boat, which is supposed to be used for freight, the pressure plates on the side of the hull and when the water waves pressed against those generated energy that propels the boat forward. Green Ocean also has a dome with solar cells that protects container load and generate additional energy.
- It also includes a wind turbine and loaded using the treadmill and magnetism to move the large containers. One does not need to build new boats but design of boats that already epos orange exists, explaining students Jonathan Wasenius and Ellen Sennerman.
Combination of energy impressed the jury right combination of freight transport solution and the possibility of using existing boats appealed to the jury. Explanatory Memorandum points out that the class focused on the vulnerable marine environment and the use of different sources of renewable energy.
- It is worth paying attention to students' innovative thinking in utilizing wave energy vessels. Since assuming existing epos orange vessels epos orange restricts also the cost of the conversion. The class also introduces a new concept for the loading epos orange of containers with treadmills, generally is Green Ocean a creative and thoughtful work, says Per Olof Arnas, Chalmers researchers and jury chairman.
Creative suggestions for great town challenge Second Prize with a prize money of 5,000 crowns combed home of Frillesas School 8B. Their solution epos orange with combined transport of people and goods also fell jury entirely in taste.
- This is a big challenge for cities worldwide and the class has developed epos orange a creative proposal that many will be interested. They even thought about resource efficiency with the goal of creating self-sustaining system with good material. The class has also developed a funding proposal showing how it can be cheaper for travelers, says Per Olof.
Hybrid and graph capsule among the entries Nygård School 7A had sketched several different proposals epos orange and conducted a poll. The choice fell on hybrid vehicle that can both fly and travel on water. At the booth, a documentary about the project and a mockup of the hybrid vehicle.
Large School 7B with Ella Karlsson, Johanna Gustafsson and Stina Wahlqvist spearheaded had constructed a proposal which involved passengers on people traveling in a capsule made of super material graphene that was placed inside a transparent tube above the ground. epos orange
Workshop with transport experts during the day was also a workshop where students were discussing the same issues in smaller groups, namely, how to move between Cross Road and Gothenburg Central epos orange Station on the water would rise one meter above the ground. Kristina Liljestrand, everyday epos orange researcher at the Department of Logistics and Transport at Chalmers, acting as moderator.
- We were several so-called experts with representatives from both universities and industry that went around among the various groups and listened to the discussion and asked questions to help them along. There were many different creative suggestions in the form of boats, jet skis and cable car, I was very impressed! says Kristina.

We met few other cyclists. distributes Those who still bike are especially sporty types, and that is

Via Nederländska ambassaden fick jag en förfrågan om jag kunde peka en landsman tillrätta. Denne landsman heter Erik Tetteroo och är konsult inom stadsutveckling och hållbar mobilitet och en del av Dutch Cycling Embassy . Nu skulle han komma till Stockholm med sin fru. Hade vi några cykeltips? distributes Med hjälp av vår Facebook-grupp Cyklistbubblan kom mängder av tips och Erik lovade att höra av sig om hur det gick. Här är hans reseberättelse :
On my 47th birthday I visited Stockholm, for the first time ever. The Swedish capital had been long high on our wish list with short breaks, so this was a very nice gift. As a Dutch consultant in the field of sustainable mobility and urban development, it is quite natural for me to explore the city on two wheels. distributes
A good opportunity to discover the Swedish bicycle culture and a useful preparation for a workshop I ll be giving at Göthenburg next May. But to my surprise I found out that the City Bikes in Stockholm stay in a long hibernation. What now?
Through my contact with the Dutch embassy in Sweden, I came in contact with my countryman Jeroen Wolfers and eventually ended up to Simon Bouloussa of Bicycle Factory. We were very kindly received by Simon in his beautiful bikeshop at Närkesgatan, where many special models are available in all colors. Simon is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with a special background. Born in Morocco, lived in Amsterdam for six years and ended up in Stockholm. distributes
Here he is trying to get more people on the bike. A good aim, because with only 7% of the modal share Stockholm scores quite low. And while the possibilities distributes seem quite good, with a high density in the city center, few large height in the city and many amenities within easy cycling distance. Because at distances up to about 7 km a bicycle is usually faster than car or public transport, there are many opportunities for cycling. Simon was kind enough to lend us two bikes, so that we could explore the city of Stockholm on two wheels – in winter!
What immediately struck us was that most of the cyclepaths were under a layer of snow , while the lanes for cars were neatly cleaned. In many places the bike lane was even too bad to discover, and elsewhere the route ranged strangely from the roadway to the sidewalk and back. A more clear positioning for the bike would be very welcome.
And more space too: the width of bicycle lanes is often very limited, and must often also be shared with oncoming traffic and pedestrians. I consider it a poor choice to give cyclists so little space. Stockholm has lots of nice wide streets, there is really enough distributes place in public space, but the division between lanes for cars, public transport and cycling is very unfavorable.
We met few other cyclists. distributes Those who still bike are especially sporty types, and that is a big difference distributes with the Netherlands. distributes With us, almost everyone gets on the bike for daily business. Children distributes use it get to school, people go shopping with large panniers or on a bakfiets and commuters cycle in their best suit to the office.
Even the Prime Minister can often be seen on his bicycle near our parliament. Cycling is part of our culture, an everyday activity, and the most practical way to get around. It costs little, you stay fit in there and it’s just fun! In most Dutch cities, over 40% of all trips are made by bicycle. This increases the liveliness on the streets, reduces CO2 emissions distributes and is usually better for the local economy. In The Hague for example, the city has closed some main roads for cars and that has resulted distributes in higher sales for many stores.
Unfortunately I don t see that bike culture yet in Stockholm. The Bianchi Cafe at Norrlandsgatan is surely beautiful, with delicious Italian coffee and snacks and great racing bikes on the wall and ceiling. But it also puts the emphasis back on the sports cyclist that dresses up in lycra to drop some performance.
While distributes the bike is also and above all an excellent tool for every day driving to work. Whether for a relaxing ride to the magnificent Vasa museum on Djurgården, or for discovering the wonderful park-like island. If necessary, distributes the bike fits perfectly on a small ferry. Try that with a car!
We really enjoyed cycling in Stockholm. It is a beautiful city and great fun to explore by bike. All major facilities are quickly and easily accessible on two wheels. It is time that the Swedes learn to love cycling more, and free the City Bikes from their hibernation. Or even better, buy a decent bike at Simon s Fietsfabriek. It s a way to honestly earn the title of capital of Scandinavia!
