Ďalší najdlhší most na svete? by Barbora Misakova

Čína začala opäť stavať. Chcete vedieť čo? Nuž opäť raz ďalší najdlhší most sveta. Ten by mal byť dokončený v roku 2015 a bol navrhnutý tak, aby jeho životnosť dosahovala 120 rokov. Ja sa však pýtam: budeme tu tak dlho? Okolo nás existuje obrovské množstvo problémov, ktoré je potrebné riešiť, a ktoré do značnej miery môžu ovplyvniť našu ďalšiu existenciu. Na tie však zabúdame a zakrývame ich ďalšími obrovskými sumami peňazí a projekt! mi, ktoré pripomínajú často scény z vedecko-fantastických filmov. Tento raz sa Čína rozhodla prepojiť 3 administratívne oblasti: Hong Kong, Macau a Čínu – pevninskú oblasť. Tento most v tvare písmena Y by mal skrátiť čas, potrebný na dopravenie sa z Hong Kongu do Zhuhai, zo štyroch hodín na jednu a tak podporiť ekonomické zväzky medzi pevninou, Macau a Hong Kongom. Samozrejme, že všetky tieto informácie sú zaujímavé a je priam neuveriteľné, čo ľudstvo dokáže, ale je toto naozaj to, čo potrebujeme? Sú tieto megalomanské stavby to, čo chceme po sebe zanechať? Most bude zhruba 50 kilometrov dlhý a jeho výstavba bude stáť 73 biliónov Yuanov, čo predstavuje asi 6.75 biliónov libier. Tento (ďalší) najdlhší most sv! eta by mal odolať sile vetra o rýchlosti 51 metrov z! a sekund u, zemetraseniu o sile 8-stupňov Richterovej stupnice a 300,000 tonové plavidlo. Uznávam, že je to viac ako fascinujúce, no na druhej strane sa nemôžem zbaviť myšlienky, aký dopad to bude mať na okolitú prírodu, klimatické zmeny a životy ľudí. Vedúci činitelia povedali, že všetky environmentálne záležitosti sú už zahrnuté a vyriešené v rámci projektu, no stačí to? Tým, ktorí sú poháňaní predstavou rýchleho zbohatnutia a oživenej ekonomiky to veru stačí. Hong Kong a Macau by sa mali stať špeciálnymi administratívnymi regiónmi a najenergickejšími ekonomickými centrami na svete do roku 2020. Tam, kde jeden vidí obrovské plytvanie, druhý zasa vidí rozkvet investícii a inšpiráciu pre ľudí. ! Otázkou však zostáva: čo je dôležitejšie?

Another world's longest bridge? by Barbora Misakova

China has begun construction of the world’s longest sea bridge. It should be completed in 2015 and was designed with a service life of 120 years. I am asking: will we stay here for so long? There are so many problems we have to solve, but we are hiding them in the record sums of money and projects which remind us scenes from science fiction movies. This time I am talking about Y-shaped bridge which will link Hong Kong, Macau and China, what will cut driving time from four hours to one and so foster economic ties between mainland, Macau and Hong Kong. Of course, that is nice idea, but is it really what we need? Are these mega constructions really those things we want t! o leave behind us? A bridge will be around 50 km long in total and will cost 73 billion Yuan what is around 6.75 billion pounds. The longest bridge on the world should withstand the impact of a wind with a speed of 51 meters a second, magnitude-8 earthquake and 300,000-tonne vessel. I have to admit that all these information is very fascinating, but I still cannot help myself and stop thinking about the impact it will have on nature, climate changes and lives of people. Officials said all the environmental issues are already considered in the project, but is it enough? For those who are driven by the dream of quick money making and revived economy, it is. Hong Kong and Macau should become the two special administrative regions and the world’s most vibrant economic centers by 2020. Where one sees gigantic wasting, other sees a way how to boost investment and inspire people. Now the question sounds: what is more important?

Ledot se topi. I što? by Barbora Misakova

Da počneme so zastrašuvačkite istražuvanja: dodeka prosečnata globalna temepratura porasnala za 0.74 stepeni celziusovi vo minatiot vek, živata na Arktikot porasnala najmalku dvojno tolku brzo! Zarem sé ušte ne se čuvstvuvate zagrozeni? O.K. da prodolžime: vo poslednite nekolku leta, ledenata pokrivka na Arktikot rekordno se namalila. Vo 2007 godina, na primer, pokrivkata se smalila do rekordni 4.3 milioni kilometri kvadratni. Sé ušte ne vi e jasno? Ne e važno. Sega obidete se da zamislite deka arktičkite leta kje bidat rečisi bez led za 30 godini, a ne 90 godini, kako što se predviduvaše p! orano. Ledenata pokrivka ne samo što e pomala, no isto taka e i potenka. Dodeka ledot se topi, morskoto nivo raste. Toa porasna od 1.8 milimetri godišno do 3.4 milimetri vo poslednite 10 godini. Slušame vekje dolgo vreme deka vremeto za kolektivna i momentalna akcija za klimatskata promena e tokmu sega, no sé ušte ne prezemame ništo. No, topenjeto na ledot nema da né čeka nas da se aktivirame. Vremeto za kolektivna akcija beše pred mnogu godini, koga navistina moževme da ja zapreme ova bezredie. No, što možeme da napravime sega? Zarem ne stignavme do jamkata? Zarem ne živeeme vo vreme koga edinstvenata "akcija" vo suština e konferencija za klimata? Možat li prostite zborovi da go spasat svetot? Teško. No, mene mi se čini deka site nie se potprevme na sloganite i na praznite mota. No, tie ne možat da go promenat načinot na koj živeeme i tie ne možat da né prinudat d! a go promenime našiot stav kon prirodata i klimatskite pr! omeni. P a, zošto postojano zboruvame za nešto što verojatno ne sakame da go promenime?

Lacomia, emisiile de carbon si politicienii by Claudia Sonea

"Om peste bord" este ceea ce vom striga in curand, mai exact atunci cand Pamantul va fi in cea mai mare parte acoperit cu apa. Inconstienti cum ne comportam, de fapt ne ucidem pe noi insine si punem capat viitorului copiilor nostri. Ceea ce facem in prezent are repercusiuni adanci in viitor si, din pacate, cei care vor avea de suferit vor fi urmasii nostri. In cazul in care tarile in curs de dezvoltare si tarile dezvoltate, cred ca sunt in afara pericolului generat de poluarea pe care o provoaca, ele nu ar putea fi mai naïve, pentru ca si ele traiesc pe aceeasi planeta ca si noi. Chiar daca se bucura de bogatie si confort in prezent, vor suporta mari greu! tati in viitor. In aceasta saptamana, la conferinta privind schimbarile climatice, ce are loc la Copenhaga, Danemarca, 7 - 18 decembrie, liderii din 105 tari s-au confruntat cu dezacorduri cu privire la liniile directoare stabilite de Tratatul de la Kyoto. Tari ca Danemarca sau Japonia incearca deja sa se sustraga unora dintre principiile stabilite de documentul din 1997, precum reducerea emisiilor de carbon si plata de sanctiuni in caz in care nu reusesc sa faca acest lucru. SUA, una dintre cele doua principale generatoare de poluare, a respins tratatul de la Kyoto si cu criza economica care a lovit tara, este cel mai probabil, sa se sustraga acelorasi principii. Liderii SUA si China, cei doi poluanti principali, nu sunt la fel de deschisi pentru comunicare precum pareau inainte de conferinta. Cu toate acestea, cresterea temperaturilor duce la topirea ghetarilor, ridicarea nivelului marii, care, pe termen lung afecteaza si SUA si China ! in aceeasi masura ca pe restu. Potrivit rapoartelor oamenilor ! de stiin ta pana in 2010 state ca Louisiana, Texas, Florida, se vor confrunta cu inundatii serioase din cauza unei cresteri a nivelului mari de peste 4 metri. Mai mult decat atat, schimbarile climatice vor duce la o scadere in sectorul productiei de alimente, precum si in reproducerea speciilor de animale. In ciuda politicienilor lacomi care nu se orienteaza mai niciodata spre a veni cu idei pentru un mediu mai curat si mai sigur, pentru o mai buna cooperare in vederea asigurarii bunastarii oamenilor, fara a pune toate eforturile depuse in sectorul industrial, organizatiile non-guvernamentale si ecologistii s-au adunat sa participe la conferinta si sa se asigure ca liderii simt presiunea si nemultumirea lor. Sa speram ca planul american care presupune cheltuieli de 350 milioane dolari, in urmatorii cinci ani, pentru a oferi sisteme mai curate de energie pentru a tarile sarace si in curs de dezvoltare, va fi vazut ca realizabil si, astfel, va fi pus in actiune. Ram! aneti conectat, mai multe in continuare!

Greed, carbon emissions and the politicians by Claudia Sonea

“Man overboard” is what we will soon be shouting when the Earth will be mostly covered with water. Unconsciously as we are behaving, we are in fact killing ourselves and putting an end to the future of our children. What we do in the present has deep repercussions in the future and unfortunately those who will suffer will be our successors. If the developing countries and the developed countries believe that they are outside the dangers of the pollution they are causing, they couldn’t be more naïve as they live on the same planet as we do and they might enjoy the wealth and comfort of the present, but endure the hardship of the future. ! This week at the conference on climate change held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 7 to 18 December, the leaders from 105 countries were facing disagreement on the guidelines set by the Kyoto treaty. Countries like Denmark or Japan are already trying to evade some of the principals of the 1997 document like cutting the carbon emissions and paying penalties for not succeeding to do so. US, one of the two main generators of pollution, rejected the Kyoto treaty and with the economic crisis that the country deals with, it is most probably to evade too the same principals. The leaders of US and China, the two main polluters, are not as open to communication as they seemed before the conference. However, the rising temperatures lead to the melting of glaciers, the rising of the sea level, which on the long run affects US and China too. According to the scientists’ reports by 2010 states like Louisiana, Texas, Florida will be facing some serious ! inundations due to a 3-foot sea-level rise. Moreover, climate ! changes will lead to a decrease in the food production sector and in the breeding of the species. In spite of the greedy politicians who are never focused on coming up with ideas for a cleaner and safer environment, for a better cooperation to ensure the wellbeing of the people without putting all efforts into the industrial sector, non-governmental agencies and environmentalists were gathered to attend the meeting and ensure that the leaders feel the pressure and discontentment of the people. Hopefully, the US plan which involves the spending of $350 million in the next five years in order to provide cleaner energy systems to poor and developing countries, will be seen as feasible and thus will be put in action. Stay connected, more to come!

Živeeme vo svet poln so kriminal i so lugje koi ne se grižat za drugite lugje. Ovie lugje se pojavuvaat vo vesnicite ili na televizija. No, postoi eden slučaj što se sluči porano, no sé ušte e interesen za mnogu lugje. Toa e ubistvoto na Meredit Kerčerm što se sluči vo Perudza, Italija.

Ľadovce sa topia. No a čo? by Barbora Misakova

Začnime pre zmenu odstrašujúcimi správami: kým za posledné storočie priemerné globálne teploty stúpli o 0.74 stupňa Celzia, ortuť na Arktíde rastie aspoň dva krát tak rýchlo! Stále to s vami nič nerobí? Nevadí, poďme teda ďalej. Za posledných niekoľko liet sa takzvaný arktický večný sneh začal topiť, a to v rekordnom množstve. Tak napríklad v roku 2007 sa táto ľadová čiapka zmenšila na neuveriteľných 4.3 štvorcových kilometrov. Ak vám ani tieto čísla nič! ; nehovoria, skúsim to povedať ešte inak. Predstavte si, že za 30 rokov (ba možno i menej) nebude na severnom póle takmer žiadny sneh! Myslím si, že teraz je to už jasnejšie. Pôvodné predpovede, ktoré hovorili o konci 21. storočia ako o období Arktídy bez snehu sú teda už pasé. Nová realita je oveľa tvrdšia. Ľadový povrch sa však nielen zmenšuje, ale aj stenčuje. Kým sa ľadovce topia, hladina oceánu (logicky) stúpa. Za posledných 10 rokov sa hladina zdvíha z 1.8 milimetrov na 3.4 milimetra ročne! Už je to nekonečne dlho, čo počúvame o tom, ako by sme sa mali spojiť a kolektívne začať bojovať proti globálnemu otepľovaniu. Čo však robíme? Nič. Ani si len neuvedomujeme, že topenie ľadovcov na nás čakať! nebude. Čas na okamžitú akciu začal pred ! mnoh 3;mi rokmi. Vtedy ešte bolo možné zastaviť tento neporiadok. Čo však môžeme urobiť dnes? Nechytili sme sa do vlastnej slučky, z ktorej sa nevieme vymotať? Nežijeme náhodou v dobe, kedy jediným „činom“ sú len konferencie o klimatických zmenách? Môžu obyčajné slová niečo zmeniť? Ťažko. No mne sa zdá, ako keby sme sa na ne a na prázdne mottá a slogany až priveľmi spoliehali. Tie však nemôžu zmeniť spôsob akým žijeme, ani nás len prinútiť k tomu, aby sme sa o prírodu a klimatické zmeny zaujímali. Tak prečo neustále rozprávame o čomsi, čo asi v skutočnosti ani nechceme zmeniť?

Ices are melting. And what? by Barbora Misakova

Let’s start with terrifying survey: while average global temperatures have increased 0.74 degrees C in the past century, the mercury in the Arctic has risen at least twice as quickly! Don’t you still feel endangered? O. K. let’s continue: in the last few summers the Arctic ice cap decreases on record. In 2007 for instance ice cap dwindled to a record-low extent of 4.3 million square kilometers. It is still quite unclear for you? Never mind. Now try to imagine that Arctic summers will be almost ice-free within 30 years, not 90 years as was predicted before. Ice surface is not only smaller, but also thinner. While the ices are melting, the sea-level is risin! g. It has increased from 1.8 millimeters a year to 3.4 millimeters in the past 10 years. We are hearing, for quite a long time, that the time for collective and immediate action on climate change is now, but we are still doing nothing. But ice melting won’t wait till we activate. The time for collective action was many years ago, when we really could stop this mess. But what can we do now? Didn’t we get to the loop? Aren’t we living in the age, when the only “action” is actually climate conference? Can the simple words save the world? Hardly. But it seems to me, like we all were just relying on the slogans and empty mottos. But they cannot change the way we live and they cannot even force us to change our attitude to nature and climate changes. So why do we constantly talk about something, we probably don’t want to change?

Väzenie v Taliansku by kristina leskova

Žijeme vo svete plnom kriminality a s ľuďmi, ktorí sa nestarajú o ostatných ľudí. Títo ľudia sa objavujú v novinách alebo televízii. Je tu však jeden prípad, ktorý sa udial už dávnejšie, ale pre mnohých ľudí je stále zaujímavý. Je to vražda Meredith Kercher, ktorá sa udiala v Perugii v Taliansku. Meredith Kercher bola dievčaťom z Anglicka, ktorá prišla do Talianska kvôli študijnému výmennému programu. Žila v byte spolu s ďalšími troma študentkami. 2. Novembra ju objavila p! olícia. Ležala zamknutá v jej spálni s podrezaným krkom a evidentnými znakmi sexuálneho znásilnenia. Polícia zadržala tri podozrivé osoby – Amanda Knox, americkú študentku;, Raffaele Solecito, taliansky študent, ktorý bol priateľom Amandy Knox po dobu dvoch týždňov; a Patricka Diya Lumumba, nadriadený Amandy Knox v jeho reštaurácii. Amanda Knox ma síce len 22 rokov, ale taliansky súd ju nekompromisne odsúdil. Teraz si vo väzení odpykáva trest a dúfa, že súd pripustí, že bola odsúdená neprávom. Dostala 10-minútovú návštevu, prišli dvaja talianski právnici, väzenskí dozorcovia a dvaja reportéri. Na konci návštevy si pripomenula emócie z 5. Decembra, keď súd vyriekol rozsudok. Jej pocity boli strašné, ako sama po! vedala. Jej ex priateľ Raffaele bol odsúdený na! 25 roko v, ale sedí v inom väzení. Obaja tvrdia, že sú nevinní. Ale kde je pravda? Súd b predsa neodsúdil niekoho, ak by si nebol istý, že je dotyčný zodpovedný za tento otrasný čin. V tomto väzení môžu väzni nosiť vlastné oblečenie; môžu si čítať noviny alebo dokonca pozerať televízor. Nemajú však pripojenie na internet. Raz do týždňa môžu využiť služby kaderníka. A dokonca si môžu zahrať stolný tenis, ak sa im chce.

Prison in Italy by kristina leskova

We live in a world full of crime and with people who are don´t care about other people. These people appear in newspapers or TV. But there is one case that happened earlier but it is still interesting for many people. It is the murder of Meredith Kercher which took place in Perugia, Italy. Meredith Kercher was a British girl who came to Italy due to exchange student program. She lived in a flat with three other students. On 2nd November she was discovered by the police. She was lying in her locked bedroom with slashed throat and evidence of sexual assault. Police arrested three suspects – Amanda Knox, who is an American student; Raffaele Solecito Italian student! who had been Knox´s boyfriend for two weeks; and Patrick Diya Lumumba, the supervisor of Amanda Knox in his restaurant. Amanda Knox is only 22 years old but was convicted by the Italian court. Nowadays she is in prison hoping that the court will admit that she has been wrongly convicted. She received 10-minute visit by two Italian lawmakers, prison officials and pair of reporters. At the end of the visit she recalled her emotions from December 5, when the judge read out the verdict. Her feelings were horrible as she said. Her ex-boyfriend Raffaele received a 25 years sentence but he is in another prison. Both say that they are innocent. But where is the truth? The court would not convict somebody if it was not sure that they are responsible for this horrible act. In this jail the inmates can wear their own clothes; they can read newspaper or even watch TV. But they have no internet connection. Once a week they can use the services of hairdresser. And they can even! play table tennis if they want.

Treba li da gi zaštitime avtorskite prava na internet? Treba li da platime za niv? by Milota Sidorova

Sekogaš sum smetal deka e nefer koga nekoj komercijalno kje ukrade bukvalno celi delovi od Mocart, Rahmanjinov ili Čajkovski i kje napravi golem uspeh od toa. Lično, smetam deka toa e deloven kukavičluk da se krade, koristi ili da se profitira od nešto takvo večno kako što e muzikata - da se koristi za da se prodade mobilen telefon ili avtomobil ili antieseptik.

Internet a autorské práva… by Milota Sidorova

Vždy som považovala za nespravodlivé to, ak tvorcovia reklamy využili časti diel veľkých majstrov. A možno nie len veľkých majstrov, ako Mozart, Rachmaninov, Čajkovský. Hudby je dnes mnoho, premnoho. Ale niektoré diela sú takpovediac nesmrteľné. Pobúri ma preto prvoplánový zisk, obchodný profit, ak sa tieto vzácne tóny spájajú s telefónmi, autami či čistiacimi prostriedkami. Rodina ma po skladateľovej smrti právo disponovať so skladbami 70 rokov. Potom sa dielo stáva majektom štátu. A štát s ním! môže nakladať podľa vlastného uváženia. Nuž niečo podobné nastáva v prípade malieb a sochárskych výtvorov – tých, ktoré už za života alebo v čase smrti neboli odpredané alebo darované. Ale tá istá situácia nastáva v prípade ostatných patentov a diel. Žijeme v dobe beznádejne ovplyvnenej internetom. Práve on sa stáva zdrojom častých kritík ohľadom autorských práv. Niektorí obchodníci nad ušlými ziskami plačú už dnes. Podľa nich je na internete bezplatných informácií až príliš. Treba zriadiť platené fóra, databázy a vstupy. Ale toto všetko sa už deje. Jednou zo základných myšlienok svetovej siete bola dostupnosť k informáciám všetkými skupinami. ! Obchodníci teda môžu škrípať zu! bami, pr ečo nedostať viac, ale poskytovanie bezpoplatných informácií nie je celkom iba jednostrannou službou – poskytovateľ získa reklamu, pozornosť, ktorú nezriedka využíva v budúci prospech. Viedli sa polemiky o tom, či spoplatniť wikipédiu. Je to síce najobľúbenejšia online encyklopédia, v akademických kruhoch však nie je považovaná za relevantný zdroj. Nie všetky internetové informácie sú pravdivé. Niektoré produkty sa na internete dajú stiahnuť aj zadarmo. Veľká to dilema pre mnohých nielen obchodníkov. Poskytnúť, či neposkytnúť? Internetoví predajcovia na situáciu reagovali znížením cien – počínajúc od elektronických kníh, piesní až po reality. Niekedy sa nájdu aj ľudia, ochotní! ; sprístupniť svoje dielo zadarmo. Nepôjdeme ďaleko – skupina Radiohead minulý rok poskytla album In Rainbows na stiahnutie za dobrovoľný príspevok. Je jasné, že to nebola dobrá kúpa. Radiohead však rozhodnutie deklarovali tým, že driviá väčšina príjmov prúdi kapele z koncertov. V tomto prípade to bola masívna reklama. Ale aby si ju niekto mohol dovoliť, musí byť dostatočne veľký a známy...

Shall we protect authors’ right on internet? Shall we pay for it? by Milota Sidorova

I always considered unfair if some commercial literally stole the part of Mozart, Rachmaninov or Tschaikovski and made a huge success using it. Personally I think it’s a business cowardice to steal, use and make profit on something such eternal as is the music - to use it to sell a cell phone or a car or an antiseptic. The family has a right to operate with the art pieces during 70 years and then all these rights come under the state law. The same situation happens with paintings – if they are not already sold or owned. The same situation happens with other patents. Living a life so influenced by internet, one should think of the authors’ rights. A lot o! f information is provided for free and although many businessmen cry for yields that are nearly gone, it is one of the foundations of the internet - to provide information for free. The other aspect is, many people who provide information for free gain advertisements, attention or another kind of a benefit. So it’s not only one sided service. The other major point – that it is very hard to assure the objectivity and truth of the information here. Although Wikipedia may be considered as the biggest and the most popular online encyclopedia, it is not considered the relevant source among academics. Some products here are free to download – the great question lies before everyone trying to make a living this way. It’s true the most of the products offered via network are cheaper – starting with music songs ending with electronic goods. Attractive price is sometimes a good reason for people to download and pay. Sometimes, things go even further. Le! t’s mention the music band Radiohead that offered its la! st album Rainbows for voluntary contribution. Some people paid, but the most did not. The advertising effect was huge – Radiohead knew most of its income is backed by living concerts. Still the question of the rights is one of the biggest problems of current times.

Samitot vo Kopenhagen by Silvia Szarkova

Samitot od 7 dekemvri vo Kopenhagen, za klimatskiot plan za poddrška na planot Kjoto 2013 - noviot globalen dogovor za klimatskite promeni - e vo opasnost. Nekoi svetski razvieni zemji, kako što e Kina, se strogo protiv nekoi od ograničuvanjata. Kina, Indija, Južna Afrika i Brazil sakaat pobogatite zemji da storat povekje na ovie temi - zatoa što tie povekje e zagaduvaat, emitiraat povekje i proizveduvaat povekje. Tie sakaat da gi vidat razvienite zemji da povlečat crveni linii i tie samite bi gi prifatile. Seto ova se slučuva na samo pet dena pred Kopenhagen i tie gi odbivaat suštinskite celi na Samitot. Glavnata tema predložena! od danskiot domakjin spored diplomatite od Evropskata Unija, se ovie: da se namat globnalnite emisii na štetni materii do 2050 godina, do 2020-ta godina da se postavi rok za krajnost na svetskite emisii, i da se ograniči globalnoto zatopluvanje do maksimalni 2 celziusovi stepeni. "Ne možeme da se soglasivme so prepolovuvanjeto na emisiite, zatoa što toa znači deka...ostanatite ograničuvanja mora da gi napravat razvienite zemji", reče pregovaračot za klima od Južna Afrika, Alf Vils. Za nesrekja, Obedinetite Nacii ne možat da gi forsiraat državite da se soglasat so izjavata legalno, samo kako del od politički dogovor. No, ima golema vistina za toa što velat razvienite zemji. Tie potenciraa deka za efektot na staklenata gradina vo atmosferata, najmnogu treba da se obvini razvieniot svet - po dva veka industrijalizacija i goriva od izgoreni fosili i trošenje energija. Kina - najgolemiot svetski emiter pl! anira da gi skrati emisiite sekako - do 2020 godina, do 45 pro! centi po edinica od ekonomski proizvod vo sporedba so nivoto od 2005 godina. Tie možat da go napravat ova podobruvajkji ja energetskata štedlivost i dobivajkji povekje energija od obnovlivite resursi.

Summit v Kodani by Silvia Szarkova

Summit, ktory je naplanovany na 7 december v Kodani o klimatickom plane, ktory by mal podporit urychlenie protokolu na 2013 z Kyota- je ohrozeny. Niektore svetove rozvojove staty, napriklad take ako Cina, sa rozhodli, ze prisne zamietnu niektore jeho restrikcie. Cina, India, Juzna Afrika a tak isto aj Brazilia chcu, aby hlavne rozvinute krajiny spravili viac co sa tyka tejto temy- kedze znecistuju viac, viac aj emituju a viac aj produkuju. Chcu, aby rozvinute krajiny takisto nakreslili pomyselnu limitujucu cervenu ciaru na take miesta, na ktorych by aj oni akceprovali obmedzenia. Vsetko toto sa vsak deje iba pat dni predtym, ako sa ma konat summit v Kodani, a odmietaju pr! ave klucove otazky summitu. Hlavynimi jadrovymi otazkami navrhnute Danskym hostitelom su podla diplomatov z Eoropskej komisie tieto temy: znizenie sklenikov plynov o polovicu do roku 2050, navrhnutie 2020 deadlinu ako vrchol pre vyfuk emisii a limitovanie globvalneho oteplovania na maximalne zvysenie o 2 stupne k pred- industrialnym pomerom. „ Nemozeme suhlasit k znizeniu emissi o polovicu do roka 2050, pretoze to by implicitne znamenalo, ze zvysne znizovanie ma urobit vyvynuty svet, “ povedaôl Alf Wills, ktory je vyslancom Juznej Afriky v tejto veci. Nanestastie, Organizacia Spojenych narodov nemoze nutit legalne aby akceptovali podmienky aj formou zakona, moze tak urobit len ako politicku dohodu. Ale je mnoho pravdy na tom, co vravia rozvojove krajiny. Vyzdvihuju, ze rozvinuty svet ma najvacsi podiel vinna na sklenikovom efekte v atmosfere teraz- po dvoch storociach po priemyselnej revolucii a palenia fosilnych paliv a mrhania energie. Cina- najvacsi! emitent na svete vsak aj tak planuje znizit svoje emisie do r! oku 2020 - a to uz o 45 percent na jednotky ekonomickeho vystupu v porovnani s levelom k 2005. Su schopni to urobit tym, ze zlepsia efektivnost vyuzivania energie a dostanu viac z obnovitelnych zdrojov.

Copenhagen summit by Silvia Szarkova

The December 7 summit in Copenhagen about climate plan to support the 2013 Kyoto plan- the new global deal about the climate changes – is endangered. Some world seveloping states, sucha s China, are strictly about to refuse some of the restrictions. China, India, South Africa and Brazil want richer countries to do more for these topics- as they polute more, emit more and produce more. They want to see the developed countries to drawn limitating red lines where they themselves would accept them. All these are happening just five days before Copenhagen and they are refusing the core targets of the summit. The main key targets proposed by Danish host according to the ! European Union diplomats are these: halving global greenhouse gases by 2050, setting a 2020 deadline for a peak in world emissions, and limiting global warming to a maximum 2 degrees Celsius above pre- industrial times. "We cannot agree to the 50/50 (halving emissions by 2050) because it implies that ... the remaining (cuts) must be done by developing countries," said South Africa climate negotiator for this case Alf Wills. Unfortunatelly, United Nations cannot force counties to agree the statement legally, just as a part of political deal. But there is a lot of truth about what developing countries say. They point out that developed world is most to blame for greenhouse effect in the atmosphere now- after two centuries of industralization and burning fossil fuels, and wasting the energy. China- the world biggest emitter plans to cut emisions anyway- by 2020- by 45 percent per unit of economic output in compare to 2005 level. They are able to do this by improving energy! efficiency and getting more energy from renewable sources.
