Ideally, state and family were mirror images.

Preliminary estimates (table 1) show that 25,234 tonnes CO2 equivalent were emitted by the tenth session of the Conference of the Parties (equivalent to about 4.1 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

I saw flashing red lights in my rear view mirror and my heart sank.

This means that the energy consumption per capita is around 7.2 tons of oil equivalent per year.

It is not true that if you break a mirror, you will have seven years bad luck.

The table is also decorated with candles, mirrors, colored eggs... and live goldfish (called red fish).

In 1866, Auguste Mouchout used a parabolic trough to produce steam for the first solar steam engine.

1 GT (or gigatonne) CO2 equivalent means 1,000 million of tonnes of CO2.

For the latter two gases, it would result in an emission of 0.7 Gt CO2 eq in 2015 in the mitigation scenario, compared to an emission of 1.2 Gt CO2 eq in the business as usual scenario.

But, in the mirror of history, we can see that the greater mistake has been to abandon the country altogether.

The figure for the twentieth sessions of the subsidiary bodies was 2,900 tonnes CO2 equivalent.

But eventually it is the best to find a person who will be your mirror.

The required temperature can be achieved by using a chamber containing a mirror to focus sunlight on the gas.

The narrow beam width of a normal parabolic satellite antenna means it can only receive signals from a single satellite at a time.

However, the complexity of the environment and the new tasks did not appear to result in a commensurate revision of UNMO's role and operational modalities.

Consonni told Global Voices contributor and Asia Community Catalyzer at Mozilla Subhashish Panigrahi about mirroring for Wikipedia on Panigrahi's 'Open Speaks' podcast.

This implies a decrease of 0.5 Gt CO2 eq by 2015, or as much as 40 per cent.

The main reason for its development was to eliminate the cost of moving a large mirror to track the sun as with parabolic dish systems.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

For now we see through a glass, darkly but then face to face now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The 10 day WSSD meeting generated about 290,000 tonnes of CO2 (6.6 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

But the more the US and authoritarian Arab regimes attacked the station, the more the station became a reflector of some of the radical Islamic trends.
