- Oil Rich Russia To Raise Export Duties 44% to Keep Gasoline Home
Across Eurasia, no one has more oil reserves than Russia. They have at least 74.2 billion barrels of crude oil in reserves alone, according to the CIA World Fact Book, more than the US, Mexico, Brazil, India and China combined. Yet, it can't keep gasoline at home. ユーラシア大陸を渡って、誰もが、ロシアよりも多くの石油埋蔵量を持っています
- Freight rail across Eurasia cuts travel time for trading goods between China, Europe
A new freight rail has started operating across Eurasia, linking the southwest Chinese economic hub of Chongqing with the Port of Antwerp in Belgium and cutting the travel time for goods traded between China and Europe in half, officials said Tuesday.
The 11,179 kilometers of rail, running through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and Germany, was first used on March 19. Transporting goods from Chongqing to Antwerp on this route takes about 16 days, or half the time required for the goods ... 新しい貨物鉄道は、ベルギーのアントワープ港と重慶、半分に中国とヨーロッパ間の貿易財の旅行時間を切るの南西部中国経済の中心を結ぶユーラシア大陸を越えて運用を開始したと、当局が明らかにした
- China to invest 1.5 billion yuan on mineral exploration in Xinjiang
China will invest 1.5 billion yuan on the further exploration of important mineral resources such as coal, iron, copper, lead, and zinc in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in 2010. This will provide adequate resources for the country's economic and social development.
Xinjiang, located in northwestern China and the center of Eurasia, covers an area of nearly 1.7 million square kilometers, accounting for 1/6 of China's total land area. It has a unique geological structure and enormously r ... 中国は重要な鉱物資源の一層の探査、石炭、鉄、銅などの鉛、1.5億元を投資し、亜。新疆ウイグル自治区2010年にします
- Climate change: how to play our hand?
There have always been extremes of weather around the world but evidence suggests human influence is changing the oddsOver the past week or so, Pakistan has been devastated by its worst floods for generations and Moscow has suffered under a blanket of smog after its hottest day in 130 years of records. What is causing these and other recent extreme weather events and are they linked to climate change?Because of a rare meteorological pattern we can see a connection between extreme weather across Eurasia. Usually, the flow in the upper troposphere over northern India, the Himalayas and Pakistan is dominated by the monsoon anticyclone which pushes the sub-tropical jet to the north of the Tibetan Plateau. This prevents mid-latitude weather systems from penetrating very far south, unlike this year, when active weather systems have spread southwards into Pakistan. Here this has combined with the monsoon to produce record rainfall. The record-breaking high temperatures in Moscow, forest fires and damaged crops are another consequence, as was the excessive rain over China when the Three Gorges Dam almost reached capacity a few short weeks ago.So are we seeing the effects of climate change in these extreme weather events? Analysing the observational data shows clearly that there has been a rise in the number of extremely warm temperatures recorded worldwide and that there have been increases in the number of heavy rainfall events in many regions over land. Evidence, including in India and China, that periods of heavy rain are getting heavier, is entirely consistent with our understanding of the physics of the atmosphere in which warmer air holds more moisture. Our climate change predictions support the emerging trend in observations and show a clear intensification of extreme ra また、常に世界の天候の極端されているが、証拠が人間の影響は、過去1週間ほどoddsOverを変えていることを示唆、パキスタンの世代のための最悪の洪水とモスクワで130の暑い日後にスモッグの毛布の下に苦しんできた荒廃されているレコードの年
