No one can deny the adverse effects of global warming. The frequency of hurricanes, storms, and tornado in several countries, including Indonesia, more common than 20 years ago. This is proof positive. Global appeal any reduction in global temperature formations.

Meeting of the countries of forest owners in 2005 in Marakesh, Morocco, also agreed to preserve the environment. Without a global appeal, Indonesia since the 1970s has been proclaimed forest conservation, including reforestation.
However, the reduction of forest occur. These factors cause is the population growth from 120 million to 240 million people today, the expansion of oil palm plantation and business interests that sustain economic growth, and smuggling of timber to foreign countries.
Not all forest encroachment because it is one of the negative consequences of economic development, including the provision of land for housing and factories. Things may have prevented forest encroachment hard is illegal to export logs.
This paper is encouraging other countries with forest owners, Indonesia in the spotlight about preservation for the sake of decreasing global warming. World Bank in 2007 states, Indonesia producing carbon dioxide (CO) due to the largest forest encroachment, the controversial allegations.
There are some suspicious things. The UN has a forest conservation scheme, called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). REDD supporters say, is the best and fastest way. REDD strengthened at the Copenhagen meeting, Danish, December 2009.
Indonesia is committed to REDD. In return, Indonesia received a grant from the Norwegian one billion U.S. dollars. This will also be applied in Brazil, several countries in South America, Asia and South Pacific. A group of developed countries, including Australia, UK, Danish, French, German, Japanese, Swedish, and U.S., is committed to funding REDD.
Indonesia is committed to planting trees in an area of 21 million hectares of land to reduce green house emissions 26 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels and will reduce 41 percent if there are additional funds from the West.
Why must rely on foreign assistance for reforestation. Is not there a reforestation fund?
Why deepening of REDD schemes increased considerably compared to the main program of global warming? Is not the majority of global warming caused by emissions beyond the destruction of forests? Some experts say, the contribution of forest destruction on a global emissions was 15 percent, the rest is fossil fuel emissions, which increased more rapidly than deforestation.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the change of land use CO contribute as much as 1.6 Gt of carbon per year. For comparison, fuel emissions accounted for 6.3 Gt CO carbon.
Why forests in some developing countries being targeted. World Food Organization (FAO) said, global deforestation reached 13 million hectares per year, including forests in wealthy nations.
Indian daily, The Times of India, May 28, 2010 edition, to question, why China and India are not included in REDD. At a meeting in Oslo, Oslo Climate and Forests Conference, May 27, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said. ”We will focus on all forests. However, we are still more focused on the preservation of existing forest just yet, “Stoltenberg said.
Researchers continue to question the strangeness of it. ”Handling of forests in developed countries is also important,” said Michael Richardson from his article titled “Ensuring Redd Is Not Mere Pulp Fiction” in The Straits Times on June 7. Richardson is a researcher at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.
The activists and elites associated economic and environmental development which implicitly understood the article insinuated fraud Richardson West, who aspire to growth by offsetting the pollution tolerance of forest preservation in developing countries, who are most in need of economic development to raise the socioeconomic status of 1.2 billion people globally.
Meeting in Bonn
More scandals uncovered during a meeting in Bonn, Germany, May 31-June 11, which was attended by negotiators from 185 countries. The meeting agreed to reduce emissions 80-95 percent by 2050 for developed countries and no visible plan for 2020. Base emission reductions are also not in 1990. U.S. wants its base is the year 2005.
Bonn meeting successfully plugged REDD, a 10 billion dollar U.S. aid per year during 2010-2012 to more than 100 billion dollars since 2020.
Assess developing countries there is no fundamental progress about the fight against global warming. ”The discussion is not about the essence,” said Kim Carstensen of WWF International.
Chairman of the Delegation of Bolivia Pablo Solon said, “This is not a debate that we want.”
Chairman of the United Nations about climate (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) Christiana Figueres said the government must face this challenge. Yvo de Boer, who replaced Figueres, pessimistic. ”We’re in a long journey to address climate change,” said De Boer.
Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists, based in the U.S., teasing. ”Figueres Expectations are too high.”
British daily, The Guardian, June 9 edition of the more deadly write stuff again. Rather than reducing emissions at least 30-40 per cent in 2020, developed countries actually increased emissions of 8 percent. This is done by doing tricks in the calculation of emission reductions. This trick is the use of carbon markets to legalize as many as 30 percent of emissions in developed countries with the preservation of compensation in other countries.
The same daily edition written June 8, the West did a trick by presenting data of forest planting, but it shows a real logging data. ”This is a scandal that had no flavor and a disaster for the climate,” said Sean Cadman from the Climate Action Network, a coalition of 500 environmental and development groups from around the world. ”Only the Swiss who do not want to do that,” said Cadman.
Similarly, about commitment to help REDD. Help is stated is that previously promised aid was given, but diverted to help forest conservation.
Antonio Hill of Oxfam warned that there is potential for developing countries would be debt relief and would be detrimental because REDD assistance from aid that was intended for improving health and education systems. Chairman of the Delegation of the European Union argue Laurent Graff. ”Help is real and truly prepared.”

Many people think that toilet door handles are the most dirty place because it contains many germs and bacteria that come from the toilet. But did you know that cell phones or mobile phones are dirtier than a toilet door handle?

Researchers analyzed the 30 mobile phones from several different people. The results show that mobile phones contain live bacteria 18 times more than the toilet door handle.

This research is very surprising, because in addition contains 18 times more bacteria than the toilet door, the researchers also found that bacteria that nest on the phone is on ‘warning level’ of environmental bacteria levels.

A cell phone can be filled with concentrated bacteria, including faecal coliforms bacteria, which can cause indigestion and stomach disorders in a fairly serious.

Although not directly harmful, but elevated levels of bacteria showed that the phone has poor hygiene. In addition, the phone can also serve as a convenient breeding place for germs more dangerous.

“The level of potentially harmful bacteria on phones already exceeds the normal scale. Mobile phones need to be sterilized,” said Jim Francis, Sanitation and Hygiene experts, as reported by the Telegraph.

The results showed how easily bacteria can breed on the surface of the phone and can switch to another person who holds directly or shake hands with the owner of the phone.

Francis suggested, should be frequently cleaned and sterilized phone with alcohol wipe, ie cleaners that contain some alcohol. This will better protect you from dangerous bacteria that nest on the phone.

Toyota car producer in collaboration with PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol will create the Toyota Eco-Island. A vehicle for environmental education to the community a better Indonesia.

This is the vehicle of education and information-based environment as part of Ecopark Ancol, which is located on a land of 1.5 hectares, which will be planted various kinds of rare coastal plants, such as Lagerstroemia, Waru Sea, Ketapang and Yamplung.

This idea originated from the programs ‘Toyota Car For Tree’ which exclude gain on sales of Toyota vehicles to be used as a tree in support of government programs in achieving one billion trees.

“The importance of environmental awareness will be one of our reasons for developing Toyota’s Eco-Island,” said President Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor, Johhny Darmawan, in both IIMS Toyota, at the JI Expo Kemayoran, Jakarta.

Meanwhile, President Director of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol, adding that now the middle preparing Ancol one of the newest tourist destinations to enrich the diversity-oriented eco-friendly with Ecopark Ancol.

“We are proud to cooperate with Toyota who are willing to fill the content in the vehicle Ecopark we will create,” he said.

On the same occasion, PT Toyota Astra Motor and PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol also signed a cooperation agreement, as a commitment on both sides in creating a clean and healthy environment.

Hepatitis or sometimes referred to as jaundice is

inflammation of the liver (liver) is mainly caused by a viral infection. Well, this disease is easily transmitted when someone lent her personal items.

Nail clippers for example, when injured while trimming the nails or who borrowed injured there will be a transfer of infected blood. If one does not have a talent of hepatitis is not likely to pass to another.

There are five common types of hepatitis, namely A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis A and E are transmitted through feces (droppings) and food and beverages are contaminated. Both types of hepatitis can usually be cured by itself, so relatively harmless.

While hepatitis B, C and D are generally transmitted through blood and other body fluids such as semen (sperm carrier fluid). This type of hepatitis is very dangerous, because it can lead to chronic liver disease including cirrhosis (hardening of the liver), liver failure, liver cancer and death.

“Infection of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a global public health problem, with significant morbidity and mortality, including Indonesia,” said Dr. Budi husodo Excellence, Sp.PD, KGEH, Chairman of the Indonesian Heart Research Association, in the event of World Hepatitis Day media conference at Mario’s Place, Jakarta.

More than 350 million people in the world has become a person with chronic HBV and 180 million people with HCV. By comparison, 12 people from the world’s population, there is one person who suffered from hepatitis.

Even around 500 thousand to 2 million people die every year due to progress to serious liver disease caused by chronic hepatitis B infection. This makes hepatitis B in the position of the ten causes of death in the world.

Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus or hepatitis B virus Hepadnaviridae (HBV).Hepatitis B can attack the liver and can cause liver cancer and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver formed) if infection with HBV occurs in a long time (chronic).

While hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by infection of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and so far have not found a vaccine for hepatitis C. And according to Dr Superior, in Indonesia have not found cases of infection with hepatitis D.

Infection with hepatitis B and C can be transmitted through blood and body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid or saliva. This transmission can occur through:

Sexual relationship with a patient with hepatitis B or C
Contact with the blood of patients with hepatitis B or C for example, syringes (drug addicts), shaving equipment, toothbrushes, clothing with blood, acupuncture equipment, tools and manicure scissors, tools tattoos or body piercing (piercing) are not sterile, even when fighting (if there are open wounds on both sides).

But not to worry, hepatitis B and C is not transmitted through sneezing, coughing, hugging, or holding hands.

Here are some ways to protect themselves from infection with hepatitis B and C, namely:

- Check sterility needles used for piercing ears or other body parts, tattoos, acupuncture and Electrodialysis.
- Avoid the use of joint / alternate nail scissors, razors, toothbrushes and other objects that may contact with blood.
- Avoid sharing needles with other people

Perform periodic checks against hepatitis B and C if you are the people at high risk, such as health workers or had received an organ transplant, blood transfusion, exchange of syringes, unsafe sex and others.

Do not dismiss a cup of coffee. According to a study done of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, coffee may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes. The content of substances in coffee, according to them, can help regulate glucose levels in blood, and therefore, diabetes is gone.

A study involving hundreds of patients they do, whether it has a family history of diabetes or not. Study participants who drank five cups of coffee a day had fewer internal inflammatory risk factors for type 2 diabetes than those who do not drink coffee.

According to a report in the journal, coffee can increase the concentration of adiponectin, a protein in the body that helps regulate glucose. The researchers speculate that drinking less than five cups a day may also be useful, although more study is needed to support these findings. ”At least, these are preliminary findings that carry clues about the benefits of coffee for the prevention of diabetes,” the cover of the report.

Twenty previous studies conducted worldwide indicate that coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent. The researchers speculate that the cause is klorogenik acid in coffee acts to slow the absorption of sugar in digestion. Klorogenik acid also stimulates the formation of GLP-1, a chemical substance that increases insulin (a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar into the cells). Other substances in coffee that is trigonelin (pro-vitamin B3) is also thought to help slow the absorption of glucose.

This is not the first research about the benefits of coffee. Previous research shows, coffee was also beneficial for preventing the formation of kidney stones, colon cancer, Parkinson’s disease, liver damage (cirrhosis), heart disease, as well as inhibit the cognitive decline in brain power.

Research also consistently shows that coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer and breast cancer. Coffee also protects the liver from cirrhosis, particularly cirrhosis due to alcoholism.

Coffee has also been identified to reduce the risk of stoke. A study of more than 83 thousand women over the age of 24 years showed those who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had a stroke risk 19 percent lower than those who do not drink coffee. Studies on a number of men in Finland showed the same results.

A study of 4197 women and 2820 men in France showed that drinking a minimum of three cups of coffee a day can prevent cognitive decline in brain function due to aging up to 33 percent in women. However, the same benefits not found in men. This may be because women are more sensitive to caffeine.

Unfortunately, we are often wrong and confound one another. Sometimes equated between the ion replacement drinks and energy drinks or stamina booster.

“Drinks are very different ion replacement with energy drinks. From its content alone is a different level, “explains nutritionist Emmilia E Achmadi, Msc, who met on a talk show titled Reaching Experience Sharing Achievement.

Energy drinks are beverages that according Emmilia been formulated in such a manner and contain sugar and other chemicals. Therefore, this drink is very different from ion replacement drinks that contain any substances that are similar to body fluids, such as sodium and calcium.

Users of this second type of beverage, said Emmilia, be careful. ”With the lure of a fresh body to return does not mean the drinks can replace fluids,” he added.

We recommend that as consumers we must be good at sorting out products that suit their needs. When finished exercising sweaty and in need of replacement of body fluids, so drink the replacement ion.

As for when you want to engage in activities that require greater energy and use of physical force is large, the energy drink. ”Make no mistake choose, because different functions will also” light Emil.

As reported to the journal, Nature Biotechnology, [...]]]> Experts in the UK is currently developing a kind of purple tomato that is claimed to have avail inhibit cancer cell growth. New types of tomatoes from crossing this gene is believed to contain many experts antioxidant pigment called anthocyanin which plays an important role dispel tumors and cancer.

As reported to the journal, Nature Biotechnology, scientists from John Innes Centre, Norwich, succeeded in creating a new type of tomato variants with the combination of genes from the Snapdragon flower or magi Antirrhinum.

Snapdragon flower is known as one of the plants, which are rich in anthocyanins, substances that are also found in various types of dark berries such as blackberry, cranberry and chokeberry.

In recent research, tomato genetically engineered and tested in mice in the laboratory. The result, groups of mice with cancer who are given a purple tomato survived significantly longer than mice with the standard diet group, whether given or not given a regular tomato.

“The effect was larger than we expected,” said lead researcher Cathie Martin, who also plant biologists.

Martin added, although fruits such as blackberries or blackcurrants nutritious prevent cancer, heart disease or neurological disorders, but not many people who eat them.

With that fact, the experts tried to create a lot of tomatoes that contain anthocyanins with the help of Snapdragon flower genes. In the process, experts said the red tomato that is usually changed to purple.

The experts also said the trial was against human tomatoes still can not be done in the near future. The next target is to examine how the content of antioxidants in purple tomatoes can actually affect the growth of tumor cells in order to improve the quality of healthcare.

Special properties of plastics as packaging materials, such as lightweight, simple, and flexible, making packaging and plastic containers into many people’s favorite. However, in fact, there are dangers hidden behind plastic.

Inside there are a variety of plastic chemicals, such as monomer and plasticizer. Some are harmful to humans. Contacts between the plastic and packaged foods that can cause the displacement of plastic molecules into the food. This phenomenon is called migration.

There are several factors that influence migration, which is a type of food or beverages, length of exposure, and temperature. ”Foods or beverages containing hot and most risky fat molecules trigger the displacement of plastic,” said Dr. Yadi Haryadi, food science and technology experts from the Institut Pertanian Bogor.

In addition, the longer the food or beverages packed in plastic, more plastic components will be moved. ”While oil including material that quickly dissolves plastic components,” said Hadi.

In the event of migration, as well as migrating otherwise hazardous materials, and amounts exceeding the threshold, then it certainly can cause interference on health. ”This is because we eat foods or beverages contaminated by chemicals in plastic,” he explained.

For that, use a plastic container that has a quality assurance and food safety and use according to the instructions for use of the container. Better to avoid packing food or beverages in temperatures over 60 degrees, and do not buy the hot liquid and greasy foods, like meatballs, packaged in plastic bags.

The underwater world is not as quiet as we think. At least, that’s the conclusion of a New Zealand researcher who found the facts proved that fish can ‘talk’ to each other.

“Fish communicate with sounds including grunts, chirps, and appearance,” says University of Auckland’s marine experts, Shahriman Ghazali, quoted by local newspaper reports, the New Zealand Herald edition Wednesday.

According to him, all the fish can hear, but not all can make a sound. ”The others made a noise by vibrating their fins,” he said.

Fish communicate with one another for different reasons. Communication, he said, meant to invite friends, scare from predators, or their own orientation. ”Species gurnard even has an extensive vocal repertoire and continue a constant chatter,” said Ghazali.

In contrast, cod is usually relatively calm, except for those who are in the process of spawning. Some reef fish, such as damselfish, making the sound to try to intimidate and even threaten fish and divers, he said.

Ghazali conduct research in a giant aquarium in natural-like setting under the sea. Research hypothesis is that fish use the sounds as the synchronization so that male and female fish can reproduce together. He presented his findings at a conference of New Zealand Marine Sciences Society today.
