A solar flare captured by the probe STEREO NASA
It better not be near the Sun on 1 August. An eruption observed by double probe STEREO engulfed his entire hemisphere. A titanic scale, so that scientists previously thought that such phenomena were limited to specific areas.
"The explosions of the Sun are not isolated. Solar activity is interconnected by magnetism over distances breathtaking. Solar storm, tsunami, coronal mass ejection ... Everything can be triggered at the same time on hundreds of thousands of kilometers, "said the NASA on Monday.
The agency believes that with this new model, the work of meteorologists becomes more complicated, but that eventually, the forecast could be more accurate.
How Françafrique show? The bet is always bold. Director Patrick Benquet it tries Thursday night on France 2, "Franco, fifty years under the seal of secrecy." With beads and a few shots, the overview will delight novices, but could also disappoint the specialist MSc barbouzeries mainland. The
director Patrick Benquet seems rather to belong to the first category, while his historical advisor, Antoine Glaser, editor of La Lettre du Continent , is undoubtedly part of the second. The horses managed to produce two films 80 minutes well articulated, where the historical continuity of certain practices illegal is cleverly put into images.
While it is the secular world, viewers will delight episodes highlighted the period since independence. the death of the opponent Cameroon Felix Moumie (poisoned by a reservist ESDP (Service outside materials and cons-espionage) in Geneva in 1961), for example, helps to explain how far the republic was prepared to go to protect its interests.
Again, experts will learn nothing, but the story by Maurice Delaunay, a prominent member of the clan of Gabon and the secret services, is worth its weight in cynicism. (See video)
If the viewer is already initiated the play of masks and African politics, we note in the first part, entitled "The Reason of State":
In the second part of the documentary, "The Silver King", the viewer can dwell on the testimony of Laurence Soudet (one of the closest collaborators of Francis Mitterrand) tells how, when the presidential election of 1965, it fetched at the headquarters of the Elf "Bag" of tickets to fund the election of the socialist candidate. Exercise regularly repeated until the victory of 1981. (See video )
In this second part of the film, which airs Thursday, December 16, fans will also enjoy:
Navigant between episodes already known and some rare gems, the film still fails to give meaning to what is called Françafrique: the stranglehold the both military, legal and economic of France on his turf Africa. A presence that continues well after independence years 60 and thanks to the influence of illegal action.
On this last point, let us remember the famous observation that networks Foccart, transformed but still very active, have a bright future ahead of them. One thing on which Antoine Glaser sometimes varied. The point of the film is the current president of the French Republic "the salesman attentive large industrial groups," a conclusion that may seem a bit unique.
The Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday the one-year renewal of the authorization of the insecticide Cruiser, whose removal is sought by beekeepers and associations defending the environment, because of the consequences on bees.
Minister of Agriculture announced in a statement that parallel the use of "coated seed" - that is the case in maize seeds that are "embedded" Cruiser - would now be taken into account from 2011 in terms Ecophyto 2018.
This program aims to reduce the use of pesticides by 50% within 10 years (2018) "if possible".
The Ministry of Agriculture also said that the draft supplementary budget for 2010, under discussion in Parliament, plans to expand the pelleted seed the royalty "to diffuse pollution" (article L. 213 - 10-8 of the Code of Environment).
Cruiser's authorization renewed for the 2010-2011 campaign "follows the favorable opinion of the National Health Security (handles) of 15 October 2010 that the use of this insecticide on corn does not present any risk to the environment, "explains the ministry said in a statement.
The Cruiser is manufactured by the Swiss company Syngenta.
Beekeepers associations and environmental groups believe that pesticides are largely responsible for the excess mortality of bees. Professionals have been fighting for years for the withdrawal of néocotinoïdes (Gaucho, Cruiser, Proteus ...) market, used in seed coating or spraying.
MEPs called on November 25 the Commission to support independent research on bee mortality and ensure the publication all information on the effects of GM crops and pesticides on some species of bees.
The European Parliament has also suggested a revision of regulations on pesticides and plant protection products to allow evaluation of risks related to exposure to these substances of the bees.
Greenpeace activists have hung two banners on Monday morning with the slogan "BNP: stop investment radioactive", the BNP headquarters in Paris to denounce his involvement in financing nuclear projects on a seismic fault line in India.
"It's very complicated to evaluate a nuclear risk, especially as no nuclear plant has never experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 7, as might be the case in the area must be constructed the two EPR reactors in India French, "he told AFP Sophia Majnoni, responsible for nuclear campaigner for Greenpeace.
Activists and deployed two models of these engines on a seismic fault before the building of the bank. The latter involved partly to the proposed 7 billion euros, including framework agreements are being signed during the visit of President Nicolas Sarkozy India.
The project is expected to emerge in the region Jaitapur in the state of Maharahstra (west), where nearly 10,000 people resurface on Saturday, according to Greenpeace, and refused "derisory compensation that the state would pay for their ownership of their land. "
"BNP's first bank worldwide to support the nuclear industry by funding projects hazardous, must be full transparency on the use of money from its customers," said Sophia Majnoni. It recalled that this bank was also involved in a nuclear project in Brazil, where she "explores the financing of a nuclear reactor to meet the safety standards pre-Chernobyl".
The forest is the treasure of the small community of Ixtlan de Juarez, on the grounds of the old Zapotec ethnicity, near Oaxaca in southeastern Mexico, where she helps to fight against both poverty and global warming.
This treasure, they have defended more than twenty years, against a state enterprise in which they disputed property.
Today they live, and while the UN conference on global warming is meeting in Cancun at the southeastern tip of the country, the federal government considers their management the forest as a model not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also poverty.
In a large sawmill on the edge of the forest of Oaxaca, men and women on treadmills install logs to be debited.
"Caring for the forest is a priority for our community because it is she who provides employment to most of us," said Julio Gomez Garcia, in charge of machinery.
The community of Ixtlan de Juarez is headed by a committee of 390 members which makes its decisions to manage six votes to companies related to woodworking, from transport to the cabinet, and operate small eco- hotels. The package provides 300 direct jobs and 2,000 others in an area of 5,000 inhabitants, and reduces dependence on public assistance, provided in the form of grants.
Thirty percent of the approximately $ 600,000 of annual profit is spent on forest protection, including protection against fire.
community reinvest a further 30% in the conduct of its business, and the remaining staff in the form of pensions and loans at preferential rates.
course, the timber industry involves the felling of trees, but the community control, as it organizes the planting of thousands of new shoots each year to maintain forest cover over an area of 20,000 hectares.
This community forest management would be more effective than any other initiative against deforestation, including the delineation of protected areas, international forestry experts say.
"Older trees do not produce more oxygen, no longer serve to sequester carbon, why it takes young people," said Chairman of the Committee of Ixtlan de Juarez, Pedro Perez Torres.
Carbon, it is found in furniture ...
Despite highly publicized programs of tree plantations, many do not survive, and a decline in deforestation over the past five years, Mexico still losing large parts of forests, a deficit which represents about 10% its emissions of greenhouse gas emissions.
Over 70% of Mexico's forests belong to local communities, but less than half are actually managed as here.
To be effective, such programs involve "property rights established, good management, transparency, and political skills training," said Ivan Zuniga, a Mexican Council for sustainable forestry.
These conditions are met in Ixtlan de Juarez, according to experts.
"This has already taken a long time, a lot of sacrifices and a lot of people, work of many people, "concludes Pedro Torres.
The UN conference on global warming Climate to Cancun (Mexico), "Nothing will give" in the absence of heads of state of major countries in the world, said Wednesday the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
"It does will give anything. No great leader there is, at best they are ministers of the environment, and we do not even know whether the foreign ministers will go; there will be no progress, "said Lula, who himself this week canceled his trip to Cancun.
The Brazilian president also lamented the reluctance of rich countries to finance the fight against deforestation Latin America, Asia or Africa.
"The financing proposal is very confusing," he lamented.
He however assured that Brazil would honor its commitments, without waiting for assistance or financing. South American giant has hired last year to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gas emissions by 39% and Amazonian deforestation 80% from the forecast in 2020.
"We're keeping our commitments and we do not need a favor to meet them, we'll keep them because it is our duty," said Lula.
His government announced Wednesday that deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon had posted a record decline between August 2009 and July 2010, with 6451 km2 deforested, a reduction of 14% over the previous twelve months.
At this rate, Brazil could achieve its goal of reducing deforestation by 2015, five years earlier than expected, said the Minister Environment, Izabella Teixeira.
is estimated that deforestation causes 20% of global emissions of carbon dioxide, blamed for global warming.
Brazil is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases, largely because of deforestation.
