A new station has opened near Bystrice nad Pernstejnem, Czech Republic. It will examine the impact that
expected climate changes will have on crops and plants. Michal V. Marek, from the
Academy of Sciences' Centre of Global Change Research, said during a ceremonial opening.
The station, financially supported by the EU, consists of 24
automatically controlled chambers similar to greenhouses, that enable researchers to simulate different climate phenomena which experts expect to develop
in the Czech Republic in the next hundred years.
International
shippers crossing the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea have been terrorised by Somali pirate crews.
Steven Burt,
managing director of PentAg Nidera, said his parent company, a

Mr Burt said the Somali pirates had a solid business model together.
