| From December 7th through December 18th the United Nations Climate Change Conference will be taking barbour sale place in Copenhagen. Approximately 10,000 people will gather from countries around the world to discuss, negotiate, and create an agreement about what the world is going to do about climate change. Some of the attendees are government officials, while others work for governmental agencies, or non-governmental organizations. The third contingent at the event will be the media.
Although people have been referring to the conference in Copenhagen in broad brush terms for some time, it's important for you to understand the purpose of the meeting and the key issues being addressed. I've developed this quick overview to give you a head start in tracking developments during the meeting. United Nations Climate Change Conference Although this group meets on an annual basis, with the last two meetings being held in Bali and Poland, this meeting in Copenhagen is demanding the world's attention for several reasons. - Recent scientific findings tell us that rising temperatures are due to our industrialized ways, and that we must find ways to reduce greenhouse gases to ensure that average temperatures do not continue to rise. - The Kyoto Protocol, the first carbon emissions agreement signed by a collection of countries from around the world, is expiring in 2012. A new framework must be developed now so that when the Kyoto Protocol ends there's a structure in place to guide countries toward a more sustainable future. - Countries, especially developing countries, are already seeing the effects of climate change. To avoid wide scale disasters in these countries, efforts must be made now to help them adapt to climate change in ways that are louboutin sustainable. Although this meeting is not expected to result in a detailed solution, the leadership group stresses that the group must parajumpers pas cher 5 tips t come to agreement on four key issues: "Ambitious emission reduction targets for developed countries" - For industrialized countries the focus will be on defining their targets for greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists recommend "a goal of 25% to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020." Late last month President Obama indicated a hollister outlet Tried and Te target "in the range of 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020." Notice the year defining the amount of reduction shifted from 1990 to 2005, which means this target is less stringent that the goal recommended by the science. Other developed countries have established targets of 20% for the EU, to 40% for Norway, based on 1990 emissions levels. China, a key player in these deliberations, recently stated that it will "reduce its 'carbon intensity' by 40-45 percent by the year 2020, compared with 2005 levels." Beware, carbon intensity (the amount of carbon dioxide emitted for each unit of GDP) is not the same as cutting carbon emissions overall. ***As you can see, at the moment understanding these goals is a bit like comparing apples to oranges. Throughout the negotiation process you can expect various louboutin countries to nudge their numbers this way and that until, hopefully, mulberry outlet an agreement is reached. "Nationally appropriate mitigation actions of developing Bronze Sculpture Has a Long and Proud History - written by Michelle Marks countries" - For developing countries the focus shifts. Developing countries are striving to grow economically to help their citizens move out of poverty and into a sustainable living situation. Although their contribution to the current climate situation is negligible, louboutin forecasts based on projected economic growth and population growth in these developing countries indicate their impact global warming is likely to increase significantly. This trend is especially true for countries that depend on coal and carbon-based fuels. Countries in this situation are struggling to develop and concerned that making efforts to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions will have detrimental effects on their overall growth. Developing countries are willing to make an effort to reduce emissions, but they want support (financial and technological) from developed countries. ***This push-pull between developing and developed countries will likely show up in the debates regarding this point. "Scaling up financial and technological support for both adaptation and mitigation" - To address the needs of developing countries, reliable funding sources and cooperative sharing of technological advancements must be built into the framework developed during the Copenhagen meetings. In addition immediate funds must be provided to help developing countries adapt to changes that are occurring right now. Waiting until 2012 for the funding framework to kick in may be too late. The longer developing countries are left alone to struggle to adapt to the effects of climate change, the moncler outlet more expensive the relief effort will be in the long run. According to the United Nations, "it is estimated that one US dollar invested in anticipatory measures can save up to 7 US dollars in future relief costs." See www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html this fact sheet on adaptation for more information about this topic. Think of it this way, for the most part developing countries are bearing the brunt of current climate changes in their region. In addition, they are likely to continue to experience extreme weather, water shortages, shifts in seasons, and rising waters as a result of increasing temperatures well into the future. The residents of these countries didn't contribute to, or cause, this situation, industrialized countries did. ***Finding an equitable way to work cooperatively toward a sustainable lifestyle for all global residents is what's at stake in this agreement. "An effective institutional framework with governance structures that address the needs of developing countries" - To implement these changes, provide funding, and create organizations to help developing countries make the necessary changes, new structures will need to be created. It is critical that these new structures be effective, trackable, and verifiable. ***All parties must work together as partners in this cooperative, collaborative effort. For more details on these four issues, read this fact sheet on Copenhagen deal published by the United Nations Climate Change Conference. What to Expect In a broad sense, the purpose of the Copenhagen meetings is to come up with goals and structures that allow all countries to grow in ways that are environmentally and socially sustainable. Given that we are starting with an extremely uneven playing field, it's critical that all parties find ways to participate in the inevitable give and take of the negotiations. As residents of the planet we cannot afford to have key parties walk away from the table. It's critical that solid, well thought out decisions be made during the coming weeks. What happens in Copenhagen has the power to influence the state of the Earth for a long time to come. At this point there is no way to predict what agreements will come out of these meetings or how these decisions will impact mulberry sale the green economy locally or globally. The best thing you can do at this juncture is to nike air jordan pas cher be aware of the issues. Pay attention to the news. Listen for indications hollister uk of how various decisions are likely to impact your target industry. Invest some time in understanding the issues at hand. You never know when you'll be asked to make comments about these topics. The more you understand the more prepared you will be to provide credible, cogent answers to your networking contacts, potential employers, and future colleagues and coworkers. Key Issues to Watch in News from Copenhagen The interplay between developed and developing countries. The mix of focus on mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to prevent parajumpers pas cher temperatures from rising) and adaptation (dealing with current and future changes due to climate change). The battle between paying now versus paying later. Although times are tight, delaying action will only increase the ultimate price of both mitigation and adaptation. The opportunity for a new era in technology - from Technology Cooperation to Environmentally Sound woolrich outlet Technologies (ESTs) that allow countries to grow while simultaneously reducing their emissions. See this fact sheet on Technology for more information about these concepts.

What is a Quality Score?Article Summary: A quality score means different things to different people, of course. The [url=http://www.tomomo.on.arena.ne.jp/cgi-bin/w-ins/yybbs.cgi]abercrombie milano Advantages[/url] use of the phrase as it applies to online searches has a specific definition, and a good grasp of its meaning can be the difference between a successful online ad campaign and a total waste of advertising dollars.

A quality score means different things to different people, of course. The use of the phrase as it applies to online searches has a [url=http://www.corsodiesperanto.it/moncleroutlet/]moncler outlet[/url] specific definition, and a good grasp of its meaning can be the difference between a successful online ad campaign and a total waste of advertising dollars. The attention of the online shopper can be difficult to [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry outlet[/url] catch, considering the abundance of search engines and methods of link networking that are employed in the virtual marketplace. Resting at the core of online commerce is the accepted unit of exchange known as the keyword. Search engine providers develop their pricing structures based on the integrity of the keywords that the advertiser uses in their online ad campaigns. This scale of judgment considers the success of the keyword in attracting attention, how relevant it is to the content of the text, and how it appears on the home page or other landing pages. These criteria are the factors which make up a quality score, which determines how much an advertiser pays for the service as well as how often their websites or web pages appear on the search engine provider's network. Exposure is everything in online advertising, and to maximize their exposure the advertiser must try to obtain the highest quality score possible with each and every ad campaign. This will not only increase their presence on the web, but will also allow them to get the most exposure for their money. A quality score is based on the history of the click-through-rate, or CTR, that [url=http://www.villazuki.it]woolrich outlet online[/url] the keyword has shown. [url=http://www.btigal.com/news/html/?214886.html]jordan pas cher Food for the Kids - written by Jocelyn Apple[/url] CTR is the essential element in determining the worthiness of a keyword [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour pas cher soldes[/url] in attracting hits on a site or a page. In other words, how well a keyword performs in convincing the online searcher to click on a link when they land on a [url=http://www.fatwirecommunity.com/index.php?p=/discussion/134899/woolrich-outlet-online-can-organice-coffee-beans-make-a-difference-regarding-hea]woolrich outlet online Can Organice Coffee Beans Make A Difference Regarding Hea[/url] search results page determines the value of the keyword to [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin[/url] the search engine provider as well as to the [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry sale[/url] advertiser themselves. The goal [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] of any advertiser who employs the services of a search engine should be to gain the highest possible ranking on the search registry, thereby attaining the best possible position to attract attention. This ad ranking is in fact obtained by having [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin pas cher[/url] the highest quality score for a keyword, which also affects how much the advertiser will pay for their ad placement. Considering the fact that online advertising is rated on a pay-per-click basis, it would only make sense [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php[/url] to increase the ways that an online shopper will have access to the advertiser's website or web pages. Having a high quality score not only increases the possibility of this, but also allows the advertiser the best chance of expanding their reach on the search engine network at a proportionate rate of advertising spending. The better the score, the higher the ranking, the more exposure, the less money spent. The online advertiser should obviously analyze their own ad campaigns using these [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] criteria, not only to save on advertising costs but to earn that position at the top of the search results page.
