Two weeks ago in the north of the Russian capital in the Khovrino launched a new innovative system of separate waste collection. Giant Siberian swamp cooler is a global atmospheric scientists from Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Ulan-Ude, gathered for a conference on climate and environmental monitoring systems in Siberia, to discuss scientific and technological basis for monitoring and modeling climatic processes the Greater Vasyuganskoye swamp. It is the largest wetland system of the northern hemisphere of the planet is located in the central sector of the West Siberian Plain and is a geographical phenomenon in the sense of an unusually widespread wetlands. The area of the Big Vasyuganskoye swamp more than 55 thousand square meters. km, which is about 2% of the total area of peat bogs around the world. Great Vasyugan swamp is a natural phenomenon that has no analogues in world.
It is a unique composition of natural systems, the extreme complexity of the landscape structure, the development of specific types of marshes. Experts believe that the giant swamp Vasyugan withdraws from the atmosphere, the huge mass of carbon that causes the greenhouse effect, and stores it in his column in the form of peat deposits. Great Vasyugan marsh also serves the important function of biosphere reserves, associated with carbon sequestration in peat deposit and the production of oxygen marsh vegetation. In fact, this swamp is a global cooling of the atmosphere. In its biospheric role and functions of the regional Great Vasyugan swamp is not inferior world famous complex of reserves of the Central Amazon.

He said that in total for this would mean a reduction of total emissions in 30 years to 30 billion tons. Permanent Russia's representative believes that the task of combating climate change must be addressed in the context of responding to the challenges of global energy security. Recall that last week in Bangkok finished the penultimate round of negotiations on a new comprehensive agreement on climate change. Its members have achieved greater clarity to the sequence of actions necessary for the development of successor to the Kyoto Protocol. The latest round of talks before the meeting in Copenhagen from 2 to 6 November in Barcelona. Photo fact of the week: Mother Nature Patterns Last week we asked our readers to look at flora and fauna of nature at very close range. And what did we see? Stunning designs created by nature itself, decorated with a variety of body fauna, and landscapes are fascinating natural forms of our gaze.
