4 level rise, increased temperatures), both current and predicted, will intersect with society and economies and the potentially significant environmental and human impacts that will result.
7 Of emerging interest are the potential impacts of climate change on the enjoyment of human rights and wellbeing. Weather and environmental degradation have, as one of
10 multiple stressors, threatened lives and livelihoods throughout history, but what makes this interaction more relevant today is the growing evidence that greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions
13 have contributed and will continue to contribute to long-term or permanent changes to our ecosystems and landscapes and will increase the frequency and severity of extreme events. This
16 amplifies existing social risks and vulnerabilities and will therefore increase the pressures faced by many disadvantaged individuals and populations in Canada and abroad.
19 On January 15 2009, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) released a study on climate change and human rights in response to UN
22 Resolution 7/23 in which signatories expressed concern “that climate change poses an immediate and far-reaching threat to people and communities around the world and has implications

with enormous energy requirements. The growing consumer
base coupled with rapid industrial development has infused the
overall energy demand and encouraged natural gas
consumption in the country. The volatile international crude oil
prices as well as the cheaper and environment-friendly nature of
natural gas have further boosted the use of natural gas
throughout the country. This has resulted in enormous demand
for gas flow measurement and supervision devices in the
country which is all set to uplift the sales and deployment of gas
meters.
According to our latest research report "Brazil Gas Meter
Market Forecast to 2013", Brazil gas meter industry is being
increasingly benefitted by surging piped natural gas
consumption in the residential, commercial, industrial and
automobile sectors. The natural gas distribution network
reached around 18,400 Km in 2009. In order to strictly supervise
the gas flow measurement and to accurately measure its
quantity, the utilities are rapidly deploying gas meter devices in
their transportation network. These utilities are not only installing
conventional gas meters, but also rapidly opting advanced
metering devices such as AMR and AMI to ensure accurate and
immediate information on gas consumption. This adoption has
enabled utilities to automate their gas distribution networks and
upgrade safety standards in their routine operations.

Three of the most aggressive buyers of online advertising
space today agreed to ...53... fines and reform their advertising
practices as part of a landmark anti-spyware settlement.
Mobile phone giant Cingular Wireless LLC, and travel
sites Priceline.com and Travelocity.com agreed to settle their
part in an ongoing investigation by the New York State Attorney
General's office, which last year sued adware/spyware purveyor
DirectRevenue for deceptively and fraudulently installing its popup
ad serving and Web tracking software on millions of PCs
...54... approval or consent of consumers.
This is an important settlement on a number of levels.
Online help forums are awash in desperate messages from
consumers ...55... machines were besieged by pop-up ads after
visiting a Web site that used slimy drive-by tactics to install
DirectRevenue's software, which is notoriously difficult to
remove from a host machine.
Perhaps more significantly, these advertisers were just
as culpable for supporting DirectRevenue's sleazy business
practices long after anti-spyware activists like Ben Edelman,
Suzi Turner and others published evidence of the illegal
distribution methods of DirectRevenue and the Webmasters it
paid to install its software. Experts consistently documented
adware bundles like the ones distributed by DirectRevenue
being installed on computers that contract distributors had
already infected with computer viruses and worms.
Ari Schwartz, deputy director for the Center for
Democracy & Technology, a consumer policy group in
Washington, D.C., said today's settlement was important
because it recognizes the oft-overlooked role that advertisers
continue to play in supporting the adware and spyware industry.
"The dirty secret about unwanted adware is that many
legitimate companies - knowingly or not - fund its proliferation
with their advertising dollars. Until we cut off that funding, there
will always be a financial incentive for companies to bombard
users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
While the settlement is a welcome and important one, the
terms and fines could have been a bit stiffer. Under the terms of
the agreement, all three companies will have to pay between
$30,000 and $35,000 each to New York state. In addition, "prior
to contracting with a company to deliver their ads, and quarterly
thereafter, the companies must investigate how their online ads
are delivered. The companies must immediately cease using
adware programs that violate the settlement agreements or their
own adware policies."
