Google Earth Engine protects forests

 Google Inc. presented at the meeting of the UN Climate in Cancun, a new technology for the protection of tropical forests.
This technology will be an important tool for governments and will further strengthen relations and trust between rich and poor nations.
According to a report in Reuters, the scientists via satellite platform can monitor real-time changes occurring in tropical forests.
The platform Google Earth Engine forests collect images from satellites to get the U.S. and France and stored in open database sharing.
So the scientists via computer can monitor and record changes that occur in forests.
It is an important weapon for the protection of forests, Google Earth Engine.
Noted that deforestation accounts for 17% of carbon dioxide resulting from human activities.
The UN Summit on Climate in Cancun began on November 29 and ending on December 10.
The Conference is not in the spotlight, as most predict that participants will not be able to reach, rather than a binding agreement, nor even the adoption of some smaller sub-agreements on climate (eg the agreement on protection of areas of deforestation), as quarrels and interests as they appeared clearly in Copenhagen, remain at the forefront.

2010 was the warmest year worldwide since 1880

Scientists reported officially that all around the world. Temperatures have risen by some dangerous areas almost non-viable.
A typical example of Pakistan in May when the mercury climbed to 53.3 degrees Celsius!

According to published today in the German newspaper Tagesspiegel, which relies more responsible for the reinsurance company in the world, the German Munich RE, 2010, was the warmest year worldwide since 1880 (regardless of whether Europe today and our country, woke up with snow ...).

Characteristic is also that in Los Angeles and Moscow reported record temperatures in summer 45 and 37.8 degrees respectively, according to Peter Chepe, head of research department for environmental hazards.

Honeybees are dying out worldwide

Four species are going extinct ...

Significant reduction of the population of bees recorded American scientists, sending alarm about the bug that is so important for agriculture.

Four species of bees, which until recently were considered crowded in the U.S., tend to disappear. Scientists have recorded a reduction in the population reaches 96% and reducing the area they cover by 87%.

As regards the bees produce honey, a pathogen involved, highlighted by the scientists, who found indications of inbreeding and caused the loss of their natural environment.

Japan is investing $ 6.4 billion in green technologies

The Japanese government plans to invest 6.4 billion. dollars in green energy technologies over the next 15 months.
At the same time, will provide grants of $ 1.9 billion while the rest of the investment is likely to come from some 142 companies, including: Fuji Electric Holding, Toda Kogyo Corp, Toshiba Corp, Sharp Corp and Panasonic.

Investments will be made in a wide range of green technologies such as fuel cars, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting systems and solar collectors. Investments of $ 6.4 billion is expected to create about 10,000 direct jobs within the next 15 months, as companies expand their production facilities and capacity.

Big Climate change

Two studies of scientists argue that climate change may lead to the disappearance of  almost the ¾ of the Alpine glaciers by 2100 and a portion of Antarctica to the year 3,000.
Studies published in the journal Nature Geoscience, say that as a result of melting glaciers will increase the level of sea levels by 4 meters.

The first study estimates that glaciers of the mountains will lose 15% to 27% by volume as the 2100, which "could have significant impacts on local hydrology and the availability of water sources.

Some areas will suffer more, depending on the size of glaciers, their terrain and location.

Reduce the amount of plastic on our everyday use

The plastic trash accumulating in the oceans are "death traps" for millions of birds and marine organisms that live and feed on them.
Below we cite a few ways to do this:
- reduce the use of plastic bags.
-Use cloth bags for shopping.
-Avoid buying soft drinks in plastic bottles, choose glass, if any.
-Take a thermal mug for coffee and ask the stores where you buy coffee on the way you fill it up instead of disposable cups.
-Do not buy food in plastic packaging, prefer in bulk.
-Make your own bread or buy it from bakeries to wrap it in paper.
-To clean up use baking soda and vinegar instead of chemical cleaners in plastic bottles.
Buy-in washing powder cartons, not plastic.
-Choose Milk packed in cardboard or glass container.
-The remains of food do not wrap in plastic wrap, aluminum foil prefer.
-Use matches instead of plastic lighters.
Buy-fabric toys for your pets.
-Pack your stuff in the newspapers instead of the familiar plastic cover with bubbles.

Enviroment needs help

The reckless destruction of natural areas in which and by which we live, has advanced in recent years at a rate dangerous. At the same time and place alongside it and the direct or indirect destruction of monuments of culture of centuries has bequeathed to our country. Companies and individuals trying to declarations and theoretical analysis is convincing, what? - For immediate need and an obligation we have to respect and preserve the "natural environment" and our historical monuments.

The intention is undeniably good and commendable, but I fear that is likely to run into figures of speech, though not explored the causes of evil and not reversed by the root.that in many cases, the seizures begin their journey towards a theoretical pursuits aesthetic form . Many believe that what is needed is to enlighten people about the value of space and environment. Sometime in the arsenal of the Enlightenment found no statistical evidence for biological and other effects that can cause change or disaster occurs, is all right.
