The headline of the article is "Chile earthquake kills 122 and triggers tsunami".
It is an article from "The Times".

The article was written the 27th February of 2010 by Robin Henry.

The article concentrates on the night of 26 to 27 February of 2010, where at 3:34am, local time, struck the most powerful chilean earthquate since 50 years with a magnitude of 8.8 in the Richter's scale shook the capital Santiago during one minute and half. The strongest of this region, with a magnitude of 9.5, had killed 1655 people and made 2 million of homeless. In this coastal country, located in a very active seismic zone because it is positioned at the junction of two tectonic plates, earthquates are relatively common. This earthquake and its three aftershocks of 6.9, 6.2 and 5.6, have currently killed 122 people and destroyed property, power and telephone lines. But this jolt can cause a tsunami (like Haïti), that why 53 countries are on tsunami alert including some Europan and the trial balance may well get worse...

To my mind, seismic measurements as construction of many buildings to resist earthquake have considerably reduced the number of death, especially since the population was sleeping under their houses. Indeed the trial balance human was devided by 14 compared to the earthquake of 1960, so there has been some progresse even if the balance is not zero.

The headline is " 5 things to watch for at the Copenhagen Climate-Change Conference "
It was written the 7th December of 2009 by Bryan Walsh.
The article focuses on the Copenhaguen's Conference.



The Copenhagen Summit on Climate, which brought together from 7 to 19 December 2009 193 countries and 130 Heads of State and Government, but the balance sheet remains disappoointing. The Conference has resulted in a minimum agreement, a political text non-binding generally described as inafequate, which isn't signed by all countries. This agreement ambitions limited to combat global warming is far to meet the expectations expressed by unprecedented mobilization at the word. The United Nations Conference on the climate, which took place in extreme tension, has thus merely "tack Act" of the Copenhagen's agreement in extremis the day before. By January 2010, countries must show their objectives, but no legal constraint hits on them. Thus, the agreement does not impose on states to implement a treaty to take over from the Kyoto protocol, which expires in 2012. Conference on climete change? provided for Mexico in December 2010 will have strong to deliver started poorly process by on agreement which provides no deadline for the conclusion of a treaty.
