RICOS POLUIDORES

Al Gore veio a Portugal tentar sensibilizar alguém para as consequências da poluição para o Planeta Terra. O motivo é nobre, o assunto é sério mas a plateia era maioritariamente composta por indivíduos que estavam mais preocupados em ser vistos do que em ouvir a mensagem. Como disse alguém aos jornalistas, poucos eram os que tinham visto o documentário de Al Gore.
Não sei quem terá pago a conta que, diz-se, terá rondado os 350.000 euros, mas estou certo de que haveria maneira de o rentabilizar melhor abrindo a conferência (ou lá o que lhe tenham chamado) ao público em geral, em vez de ser por convite a um público que tem a obrigação de estar bem informado pois tem acesso privilegiado à informação.
O mais curioso, foi ver a frota automóvel estacionada nas redondezas do Museu da Electricidade, e os modelitos envergados pela nata da nossa sociedade. Também não se ouviram reclamações pela falta de tradução simultânea, mas também quem é que ía admitir que não percebeu patavina do que o orador disse, e isso até nem era importante – estava lá tanta gente bem!

La Alhambra (Granada). Fuente de los Leones
Autor:
Fecha: Siglo XIII-XVCaracterísticas:
Los doce leones en rueda que soportan la taza son reaprovechados y pertenecen al siglo XI. La taza se decora con un poema en el que se pone de manifiesto su significado, considerándose el agua como un don del sultán que se derrama sobre sus leales súbditos, los doce leones agazapados que se aprestan a defenderle.

Restauración del Patio de los leones de la Alhambra
El Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife comenzará este martes el traslado de los leones de la fuente del monumento nazarí para su posterior restauración, en un proceso que, según las previsiones iniciales de ese organismo, se prolongará durante dos años.
El primero de los doce leones que componen la fuente que da nombre al famoso patio de la Alhambra, será retirado mañana, el resto se irán trasladando paulatinamente en los próximos días. Durante el proceso de restauración, que se realizará en los talleres de la Alhambra, y que se prevé se prolongue por unos dos años, no se colocará ninguna réplica para facilitar la rehabilitación del suministro hidráulico y de la taza de la fuente que sustentan los leones, informó la directora del Patronato de la Alhambra, María del Mar Villafranca.Según lo previsto, el proceso integral de intervención se realizará en tres fases, la primera de las cuales consistirá en la restauración de 11 de los 12 leones que sustentan la fuente, ya que uno de ellos ya fue restaurado hace poco tiempo. La segunda fase de la operación será la restauración de la taza de la fuente 'in situ' y la última la rehabilitación del circuito hidráulico, cuyo proyecto de intervención se está redactando.Quizás sea el patio de los Leones el lugar más conocido de la Alhambra. Su nombre procede de los doce leones surtidores de la fuente que ocupa el centro del patio, leones sobre los que descansa la gran taza de forma dodecagonal y que la rodean. Esta fuente, de mármol blanco, es una de las más importantes muestras de la escultura musulmana. A pesar de la restauración, el patio no será cerrado al público.


February 2, 2007Saturn's largest moon Titan is really living up to its name.
An image released today shows a huge swirling cloud roughly half the size of the United States over the moon's north pole. The formation—which is made up of ethane, methane, and other organic material—could be the source of
methane lakes spotted near the pole last summer.



New Brunswick, Canada (map), 1990Photograph by James P. Blair

In coastal New Brunswick, Canada, a legion of sandpipers begins the annual migration. Each year millions of migratory birds make similar journeys, flying thousands of miles in large groups. Along the way, many depend on U.S national wildlife refuges. These protected areas often serve birds as rest stops on their journey to their southern, winter range—and back again.

  1. Al Gore veio a Portugal a convite (bem pago) não para passar a mensagem ambiental que anda a divulgar mas sim para contribuir para a parola feira de vaidades dos nativos.

  3. Alguém viu por lá a ministra da Cultura? Penso que não, porque não haviam salgadinhos nem umas bebidas, só para empurrar evidentemente.
    Fazem eventos destes onde nem sequer se faz uma boquinha. Pindéricos!

  4. Ainda antes da meia-noite, ficam os meus votos para que o SIM ganhe no dia 11.
    Gostei do artigo sobre o restauro da fonte dos leões, mas era simpático lê-la em português, sem desprimor para os espanhóis, que cuidam do seu Património.

    this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.

  10. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog
    like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure.

    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
