Skyscraper may see St Petersburg lose world heritage status· Planned building almost as tall as Eiffel Tower
· Governor currying favour with Putin, say critics

St Petersburg's Winter Palace.
It is, quite simply, Russia's most breathtakingly beautiful city.
Walk down Nevsky Prospect, the central boulevard, and you pass over endless canals before eventually arriving at the magnificent Hermitage Museum and the blue Neva river.
Over the bridge is the Kunstkammer. Founded by Peter the Great, this curious museum contains the monarch's celebrated collection of mutants.
But St Petersburg, Russia's second city and former imperial capital, is in danger of being chucked off Unesco's list of world heritage sites because of plans to build a 300-metre high skyscraper in its historic centre.
Russia's state gas giant Gazprom wants to erect a glass and steel tower nearly as big as the Eiffel Tower just next to the 18th century Smolny cathedral.
The plan has prompted fierce local opposition. Critics say it will ruin the city's unique low-rise skyline - and dwarf its neo-classical architecture, which includes baroque villas, flamboyant cathedrals and pleasant Venetian waterways.
On Friday Marcio Barbosa, deputy director general of Unesco, the UN's cultural body, said Russia has until February 1, 2008, to submit a detailed report on the project's impact, or face penalties.
"If it is like in football, a yellow card," Mr Barbosa told a news conference on a visit to Moscow.
"If the situation does not change we will seriously be considering putting the site on a list of sites that are in danger," he said.
"Being placed on the list is a risk today," he added. Mr Barbosa said the ultimate sanction would be to strip St Petersburg of its world heritage site designation, which it has had since 1990.
He said he hoped it would not come to that. Gazprom, the city administration, and Unesco authorities are due to meet for talks on September 13.
"The talks will be fundamental in trying to convince them to find alternatives," Mr Barbosa said, according to Reuters.
Until last week, the row had been a largely St Petersburg affair. Conservationists had joined forces with opposition activists to denounce the tower - dubbing it a symbol of Kremlin arrogance.
They accuse St Petersburg's governor of approving the plan to curry favour with Vladimir Putin, who comes from St Petersburg and is keen to enhance the city's prestige.
Mr Putin has said he will not intervene in the row because he has too many other problems to think about.
The tower's chief architect, Philip Nikandrov, has insisted that his building will not spoil the city, the result of an extraordinary urban project begun by Peter the Great in 1703.
"The tower fits seamlessly into the city's panorama," he told the St Petersburg Times earlier this year.
Describing it as a "beautiful addition to St Petersburg's landscape", he argued: "Our skyscraper in its present form and shape will beautifully anchor the city's panorama if one is looking from the city centre."
So far, building work on the tower in the downtown Malaya Okhta district has not started.
Gazprom Neft, a part of Gazprom, intends to use the vast tower as its new headquarters.
Mr Barbosa said a decision on whether to put St Petersburg on the endangered list or strip it of its world heritage status would not be taken until the middle of next year, when Unesco member states gather for their annual congress.

Aquecimento global: reflorestamento tem impacto limitado
Segundo as pesquisas, reflorestar os trópicos é três vezes mais eficaz do que fazê-lo em latitudes mais elevadas, ou em regiões temperadas
24/06/2011
Um estudo publicado na revista científica “Nature Geoscience” revela que, apesar de as florestas serem importantes sumidouros de carbono, os projetos de reflorestamento terão um impacto limitado no aquecimento global. O estudo, realizado por pesquisadores das universidades de Victoria e de St Francis Xavier, no Canadá, simulou modelos de reflorestamento no período entre 2011 e 2060.
A pesquisa concluiu que o reflorestamento não pode substituir a redução de emissões de gases de efeito estufa. O desmatamento, sobretudo nas selvas tropicais, é causador de 10% a 20% das emissões de gases-estufa do planeta.
Foram examinados os efeitos que a água, o solo e o ar sofreriam se a temperatura da superfície terrestre aumentasse 3° C em 2100, com relação aos níveis pré-industriais de 1850. Mesmo se todas as terras cultivadas do mundo fossem reflorestadas, isto só reduziria em 0,45°C o aquecimento mundial no período de 2081-2100, segundo os resultados.
Isto porque são necessárias várias décadas para que os bosques sejam capazes de captar o CO2. Um reflorestamento de 50% das terras cultivadas só limitaria a elevação da temperatura em 0,25º C. E como as terras cultivadas são essenciais para alimentar a população mundial, que será de nove bilhões de pessoas em 2050, estes resultados são irreais.
Segundo as pesquisas, reflorestar os trópicos é três vezes mais eficaz do que fazê-lo em latitudes mais elevadas, ou em regiões temperadas. Os bosques são mais escuros do que as terras cultivadas e, portanto, absorvem mais calor. Plantar em um solo coberto de neve ou de cereais de cor clara diminui o denominado “efeito albedo”, que é a quantidade de luz solar refletida do solo para o espaço

Segunda usina nuclear: adequada para a Holanda?Assuntos relacion
Será uma boa ideia construir uma segunda usina nuclear na Holanda? É uma discussão que sempre ressurge e mais ainda agora, com um novo governo que é muito mais simpático à energia nuclear do que o anterior. Com ajuda francesa, a Delta, uma empresa holandesa de energia, estuda a construção de uma segunda central nuclear, muito maior do que a já existente. O que promete ser uma empreitada dispendiosa.
Energia atômica é cara e continuará sendo cara. Antes de mais nada, a energia nuclear – assim como todas as outras fontes de energia – depende de pesados subsídios.
“Centrais nucleares já existentes, em todos os países, inclusive na Holanda, foram criadas com suporte do Estado. E na verdade nota-se que em mercados liberalizados, onde subsídios estatais já não são possíveis, também já não se constrói mais usinas nucleares. Portanto, se surge em algum lugar uma nova central nuclear, sempre é com dinheiro do Estado.”
Quem fala é Peer de Rijk, diretor da Wise, uma rede internacional que se dedica ao debate sobre a energia nuclear. Rijk compreende por que o atual governo holandês é favorável a uma nova usina atômica. Segundo ele, é uma boa maneira de levar a mensagem ‘olhem como estamos lutando para baixar as emissões de CO2’.
Desvantagens
Mas a energia nuclear continua sendo controversa por causa do lixo radioativo, para o qual até hoje não se encontrou uma solução definitiva. E a extração de urânio, o combustível nuclear, é muito poluente.
Além disso, a estatal francesa EDF também não é uma boa parceira no que diz respeito à administração de custos. A EDF tem 82 usinas em todo o mundo e muita experiência na construção de centrais nucleares, mas o orçamento sempre é ultrapassado.
A nova central para a Holanda foi orçada em cerca de 4 bilhões de euros. Energia atômica é, portanto, cara. Mas isso é válido para quase todas as formas de produção de energia. Energia fóssil, por exemplo, recebe em todo o mundo subsídios da ordem de um trilhão de euros. E, em comparação, a energia sustentável – eólica, hidráulica, solar e de biomassa – é ainda mais cara.
Custos
Mas, segundo o especialista em energia Wim Turkenburg, há uma diferença. Os custos da energia sustentável, com o tempo, baixam, e os da energia nuclear não:
“Investindo em energia renovável você a aplica. E através desta aplicação, ficou provado que os custos de produção vão baixando. Portanto, vê-se aí um enorme efeito de aprendizagem com o qual os custos de investimento diminuem ano a ano. E o que vemos com a energia nuclear é que mesmo que continue sendo subsidiada, os custos de construção só aumentam.”
Opção a curto prazo
Isso não impede, segundo Turkenburg, que a energia atômica seja a curto prazo uma maneira de diminuir as emissões de CO2. A longo prazo, não é ideal. O problema do lixo atômico continua, e ela é inadequada para servir como back up caso a produção nacional de energia sustentável tenha algum problema. Se as turbinas eólicas pararem por falta de vento, não se pode ‘ligar’ uma central nuclear e ‘desligar’ quando não for mais preciso. Para isso as usinas a gás são muito mais adequadas.

VISIT FRANÇE
Summary of the regions of France
The most popular regions with visitors include Brittany, theDordogne and the Cote d'Azur (along with the rest of Provence) -
and many tourists like to visit Paris.
But almost all regions of France have something interesting to discover - quiet villages, stunning scenery, historical buildings lost in the countryside...so before rushing to visit these popular regions why not think about somewhere else for a change? You can avoid the crowds and still have a great time discovering the 'real' France!
Our France Travel website has a simple goal - to introduce the most picturesque, the most scenic, and the most interesting places to visit in France.
To start to explore simply choose a French region or place above or on the map of France further down, then visit the travel guide for that region. Each regional travel guide has its own detailed map to help you see locate and learn more about the places in France that interest you.
The regional information includes the best towns in France, favourite and famous places to visit in France, the most beautiful villages, the French heritage sites and historic monuments in France, the bastide towns of the south-west....and much more
Alsace
Alsace is found in eastern France, on the border with Germany to the east, and Switzerland to the south. The Lorraine region of France lies to the west of Alsace. It is the smallest region in France, and lies between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine. Strasbourg is the capital if this heavily forested region, and the climate is almost 'continental' - hot summers and dry, cold winters...
see Alsace Travel Guide to visit the Alsace.
Aquitaine and the Dordogne
Aquitaine is found in the south-west corner of France. It reaches Spain at its southern frontier, and the Atlantic Ocean runs along the western edge of the region. The extended Midi-Pyrenees region is found to the east. For visitors the region falls into two distinct regions - the coasts and forest along the western edge, and the Dordogne region further inland. Major cities in the region include Bordeaux, Biarritz and Perigueux....
see Aquitaine Travel Guide to visit Aquitaine and Dordogne Travel Guide for places to visit in the Dordogne region of France
Auvergne
The Auvergne is part of the central (non-coastal) part of France, in the centre of the Massif Central. It is largely an isolated region of mountains, and dramatically rugged countryside and rocky gorges. Clermont-Ferrand is the capital of the region...
see Auvergne Travel Guide to visit Auvergne.
Brittany
Brittany is found in the north-west of France, a large promontory jutting out into the Atlantic ocean. The English channel is to the north, and the Bay of Biscay to the south. The capital of the region is Rennes...
see Brittany Travel Guide and Brittany seaside and coast to visit Brittany.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) is found in the center of France, just north-east of the geographical center and south east of Paris. Historically, and still now, it is one of the richer parts of France, and has been since hundreds of years ago, when the Burgundians sided with the English during the Hundred Years War. Dijon is the capital of the region...
see Burgundy travel guide to visit Burgundy.
Centre
The Centre region is found in northern-central France. It is a department name little known (and little loved), but containing one of the most popular regions of France for visitors - the Loire Valley. It is here that many of the most famous chateaux of France are to be found. The capital of the region is Orléans...
Champagne-Ardenne
Champagne-Ardennes is found to the north-east of France, where it's north-eastern frontier borders Belgium. The capital of the region is Chalons-en-Champagne...
see Champagne Travel Guide to visit Champagne.
Corsica
Corsica is an island off the south-east of France, with perfect coastlines and a dramatically mountainous interior. Corsica has 1,000km of coastline and more than 200 beaches - reputedly the best beaches to be found anywhere on the Mediterranean. Perfect weather, and perfect beaches, sand and water. Perhaps the best beaches are at the south of the island, but there are beautiful beaches all over...
see Corsica Travel Guide to visit Corsica. (We also recommend you visit this Corsica site for further information)
Franche-Comte
Franche-Comte is found to the east of France - the region borders onto Switzerland. As you head towards the east of the region you start to leave the rolling countryside and smaller peaks of the Jura mountains, cross the high plateaux, and enter the Alps 'proper' Much of the countryside is an unspoiled mix of forests and open country, interspersed with lakes and rivers...
Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is found on the southern edge of France, on the Mediterranean coast. It reaches Spain at its southernmost border. It acts perhaps as poor relation to Provence, further to the east. But unfairly, because it has its own share of dramatic landscapes, divided by dramatic gorges, and plenty of great medieval architecture...
see Languedoc Travel Guide to visit Languedoc (the part of Languedoc to the north is covered by the Massif Central travel guide
Limousin
Limousin is found in the centre of France, around the town of Limoges. It is high - much of the region is at an altitude of more than 350 metres - and is mostly hills covered with woodland. The climate is not especially inviting - rain is frequent, and winters are very cold, so it is not (yet) usually on the tourist circuit. An area to discover!...
see Limousin Travel Guide to visit Limousin.
Lorraine
Lorraine is a 'frontier department' in north-east France that shares borders with three European countries - Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. The department has the unenviable distinction of being the main invasion route for France, and many a hostile invasion has crossed the region in the last 1200 years...see Lorraine Travel Guide to visit Lorraine.
Normandy
Lower Normandy is on the coast of north-west France, where it faces the English Channel. It is a common arrival point for visitors from the UK (ferries arrive at Cherbourg and Caen). Caen is also the capital of the region. It is also a very popular destination...
see Normandy Travel Guide to visit Normandy
Midi-Pyrenees
The Pyrenees are found along the border between France and Spain, and the Midi-Pyrenees region covers the middle section of the area. The Midi-Pyrenees region also spreads north into areas that are quite remote from the Pyrenees mountains themselves eg Rocamadour in the Lot Department, just east of the Dordogne ie the 'Midi' region. See Midi-Pyrenees Travel Guide
North Calais
There is one large attraction in the Calais region - the battlefields and cemeteries of the WWI battles. Between Amiens and Lille, the Somme battlefields are still a major pilgrimage destination, and some of the Somme trenches are kept intact to help the visitor better understand the battles and conditions that were faced...Provence
This region covers the south-east corner of France. It is perhaps the most visited and most loved region of France, and includes beautiful Mediterranean coastline, medieval villages clustered among the olive groves in sun-baked countryside, and mountainous regions...
see Provence Travel Guide to visit Provence or Cote d'Azur travel guide for the coastal region
Paris / Ile de France
Île-de-France is the most populated region of France, and includes Paris - it is often referred to as the Paris region. Many of the most famous places in France are found in Paris, and everyone who visits falls in love with the capital of France, as much for its shady boulevards, street side cafes and general atmosphere as for the famous sites...
Pays de la Loire
Pays de la Loire is found between southern Brittany and northern Poitou Charentes, on the western side of France. Often you will be in this region, when you think you are in the Loire Valley or Brittany so see also those areas. Note that Nantes, formerly the capital of Brittany, is in this region...
Picardy
Picardy is a large flat area of open fields, with a fame arising from the WWI Battle of the Somme in the north of the region...
Poitou-Charentes
Poitou-Charentes is found half way up the western side of France, fronting the Atlantic Ocean / bay of Biscay. The capital of the region is Poitiers. The coastal region is said to be the second sunniest region of France (after Provence)...
see Poitou-Charentes Travel Guide to visit Poitou-Charentes.
Rhone Alps
Rhône-Alpes is found in the south-east of France, where it borders Italy and Switzerland to the east, Provence to the south, and Burgundy to the north. It is a wild and very beautiful part of France...
