In the next decade, at some time, in someregions of high temperature and increased humidity outdoors become fatally dangerous to life In the coming decades there will be serious global climate change, which resulted in dramatically worsen the conditions of life on Earth.
This is stated in the annual report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The paper notes that in the XXI century, adverse changes in climate associated with the process of global warming will be the cause of the decline in economic growth and reducing the number of poor citizens.
At some time, in some regions of high temperatures combined with high humidity levels will prevent any type of human activity.
Being outdoors will be deadly to life.
Scientists predict that in the XXI century will increase the number of victims of floods, forest fires, disease and hunger. Particularly affected the poorest countries and regions that are themselves unable to resist the damaging effects of global warming, say experts. The drought will lead to the collapse of the existing infrastructure, they said.
Experts believe that the reduction suitable for human habitation site lead to military conflict. Intensify the struggle for sources of fresh water.
Draft report of the IPCC sent to the governments of the Member States of the UN. In the coming months, it will be made additions and changes based on the comments of experts from various research organizations.
As expected, the final version of the document is to be published in March nextyear.
Antimicrobial copper # 8230, is not a panacea Antimicrobial copper? Antibacterial soap is already there. And yet - the microbial world is the human environment.
But do not rush, revered, the findings do yourself.

Whenever a burst of media coverage of some global contagion or simply the approach of autumn with its first chihami and coughs, people are thinking about easy ways to overcome the consequences of infection, and less on protection against him, although the relevance of saying that it is easier to prevent than cure yet no one has canceled.
Rather, in the public mind prevent means meager, but because of inefficient collection and we did not catch the Asian habit of wearing protective bandage healthy and the sick, and of course hand washing. In other words, the struggle for the prevention of infection plays before it starts. Probably in the whole society can live with this approach. And that's exactly where he was unable to come to terms, so it is in health care facilities - health care facilities.
In health care settings where immunocompromised people, especially in intensive care units, the effects of contamination of hospital infections are fatal.
Hence, about four million people in the EU acquire nosocomial infections, and of these, about 37,000 die. In Russia in the context of such an inaccessible, but as a scalable example, take the UK with its 63 million inhabitants and is by no means an ideal situation in the public health system. There, for example, annually acquire infections in hospitals 300,000 people, of which the reason about 5'000 die. In addition to a variable amount of personal expenses, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates the direct costs of nosocomial infections in the amount of 1 billion pounds a year.
These infections, such as MRSA (antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and C. Deficile are caused by microbes that live and multiply rapidly at the sites and objects, which we touch every day. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria left outside health facilities, and are now found in schools, homes and public transport. Despite the aggressive hand washing campaigns on a regular cleaning surfaces, the spread of infection remain unacceptably high.
To reduce the risk of infections and to improve security including patients, hospital specialists seized on the concept of antimicrobial copper.
Antimicrobial copper has proven to be effective, a wide range of applications and high-speed impact in the suppression of pathogenic microbes in the laboratory and in clinical conditions are significantly lower (significantly) reducing the level of infectious contamination.
Antimicrobial Copper is the only material for touch surfaces, which successfully passed an independent audit of the Agency on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and received the proper registration. This confirms the effectiveness of copper - two hours after contact with the surface provides suppression of more than 99.9% of the bacteria that cause hospital infections.
After obtaining scientific evidence that antimicrobial copper is the most effective antimicrobial touch surface material (touch), launched a global campaign to promote the use of such material for control of pathogens on surfaces in hospitals, public transport, schools and other places nurseries infections.
The three main characteristics make the most effective antimicrobial copper surfaces material for contact by the person:
Permanently kills germs
• Proven scientific efficacy as an antimicrobial agent is much higher than that of silver coatings.
• prove the continuity of the antimicrobial effects.
• The only material from a solid surface, whose antimicrobial effectiveness is confirmed by the Agency on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).
Never wear out
• The antimicrobial effect of continuous and unlimited, antimicrobial copper in its entirety (not spray).
• The antimicrobial effect even after repeated wet and dry including using abrasives, cleansing and re-contamination.
• The natural oxidation of the surface does not affect the efficiency.
Safe to use
• Copper is harmless to people and the environment.
• Copper antimicrobial in nature - there are no chemical additives.
• Copper is completely recyclable after use.
• Used in health care facilities and at home, and public places
Despite the fact that the result of testing in the copper surfaces during registration procedures in US EPA distant of 2007-2008. found 99.9% inhibition of microorganisms for 2 hours, the subsequent operation of prof. Kivila and prof. Schmidt with a wider range of infections have shown that suppression of many clinically dangerous infections on surfaces of antimicrobial copper requires 5 to 15 minutes. In this sense, interesting online experiment conducted by prof.
Keevil in April 2012 at the University of Southampton (see video URL http://youtu.be/IsYhUQcj7R8).
Management of health facilities have long waited, and other data, data, gross - a statistically significant practical effectiveness of the new technology: how to practically affect the installation of antimicrobial copper surfaces on critical surfaces in hospitals, wards, the overall picture of a secondary infection. Such studies require a lot of time and money, but went quickly after the subject has shown interest and provided additional funding for the Army Medical Department U.S. Armed Forces.
The cycle of large-scale clinical studies prof. M. Schmidt of the University of Yu Carolina showed a decrease by 56% the level of nosocomial infection in the control chambers with individual antimicrobial copper surfaces of the Antimicrobial Copper Cu + TM, compared with the chambers, where the classical measures used to prevent the spread of infections. With all the consequences in the form of a reduction in the number of infected patients, costs and mortality rates.
The sun may be cold, but wait the Little Ice Age is not worth According to Mike Lockwood, professor of the University of Reading (UK), solar activity decreases very rapidly - more rapidly than in the past 9300 years.

He and his colleagues are now engaged in trying to predict what will happen in the next decade if the first big solar minimum for the last four centuries. The concern is that a normal 11-year solar cycle will stop for a while and the sun is almost completely deprived of spots for several decades. Last summer, the number of sunspots was to achieve the maximum, but it never happened.
Mr. Lockwood believes that there is a 25 percent chance of repeating last big wage - the Maunder minimum that was observed at the end of the XVII century, when the sunspot was as much as 70 years. Two years ago, the same Lockwood estimated the chances of a recurrence of this phenomenon in the region of 10%.
Maunder Minimum coincided in Europe with the most savage winters for all the Little Ice Age - the era of unusually strong cooling for several centuries has engulfed several areas of the Earth. The study of tree rings showed that in the Northern Hemisphere, the average temperature dropped to 0,4 C.
Mr. Lockwood does not think the new high at least bring with it the Little Ice Age. Man-made global warming, he said - a more significant factor in global temperature than the solar cycle. Since 1880 the planet warmed by 0,85 C, and this is clearly not the limit, according to the latest data of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Nevertheless entirely without consequences, of course, will not do. For example, in the UK at the time of reduced solar activity usually stand extreme cold. In addition, it can slow down the jet stream in the atmosphere and thereby cause a series of inter-related extreme weather events like the Russian heat wave of 2010, which was followed by devastating floods in Pakistan.
Over the last 10 thousand years was 24 large solar minimum. The history of these periods can be restored by isotopes - such as carbon-14, which is created by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. Due to increased solar activity solar wind deflecting cosmic rays away from Earth, so the lower solar activity, more powerful cosmic radiation and generates more specific isotopes.
Changing the number of isotopes measured in tree rings, which absorb carbon-14, and ice cores, preferring beryllium-10.
The current decline in solar activity began after the last great moment for the solar maximum in 1956, stressed Mr. Lockwood. The recent decline has accelerated, and the lack of sunspots this summer was the first alarm bell.
How strong solar cycles affect global temperature, remains in question. Perhaps that was the reduction of solar activity to some extent the reason that global warming has slowed.
Mike probably right about the fact that the Sun may return to the level of activity of the Maunder minimum, - says an expert on the physics of the atmosphere Joanna Haigh of Imperial College (UK). - But even under the most optimistic scenario (assuming the minimum global warming and strong solar minimum) cold, which will bring with it a decrease in solar activity, just neutralize the greenhouse effect. So no ice age.
Most likely, the solar minimum is only slightly rein warming, which will return in full force as soon as the active light will begin to increase again to its normal state.
Solar activity continues to free-fall. But wait for the Little Ice Age is still not worth it.
ICE AGE NOW: Monumental Snowfall In Europe - More Flight Disruptions Causes Widespread Chaos!
January 21, 2013 - EUROPE - Hundreds of flights were cancelled and hazardous roads and railways disrupted traffic and caused countless accidents across Europe on Monday as heavy snow and freezing weather gripped the continent. Frankfurt airport, Germany's main air hub, cancelled around 500 departing and arriving flights, representing 40 percent of its daily schedule.
The busiest airport in Europe, London Heathrow, scrapped more than 200 flights. Heathrow said a decision was taken 24 hours in advance to cancel 130 flights due to predicted poor visibility, but problems elsewhere in Europe were having an impact too. "The additional cancellations are because a number of airports elsewhere in Europe are experiencing problems so that has a knock-on effect for us," an airport spokesman said. Heathrow has spent 36 million pounds ($57 million) on upgrading its snow-clearing equipment since 2010, when freezing temperatures and snow almost brought the airport to a halt in the approach to Christmas. Freezing rain and snow also led to treacherous conditions on railways and roads, triggering numerous accidents. In southwestern Germany, police recorded more than 1,000 weather-related accidents and in the northeast, near Berlin, an entire section of motorway was shut to traffic.
In Belgium, three people died and two others were seriously injured when a minibus they were travelling in skidded off the road, overturned and caught fire at a motorway exit near Bruges, local authorities said. One woman died in the southern English coastal town of Deal after collapsing in the snow. Further snowfall was forecast for Frankfurt late Monday, with a spokesman for the city's airport telling AFP that it expected further disruption to flights on Tuesday. When asked how many flights would be affected, the spokesman added: "we can only wait and see what happens tonight." Europe's number three airport, Paris's Charles de Gaulle, was also hit. France's civil aviation authority DGAC said it expected to scrap 40 percent of flights to and from Charles de Gaulle and Paris's other main airport, Orly, as a precautionary measure following heavy snowfall on Sunday. Even Munich, a city usually accustomed to taking snow in its stride, cancelled 161 flights at its airport as it grappled with the exceptional conditions.
