Refl: Badai pasir ini bukan saja menghalangi export minyak, tetapi juga bagi manusia harus tutup badan dari ujung kepala sampai tumit kaki. Kalau tidak maka rambut badan dilekati debu dan pasir. Untuk membersihkannya perlu air untuk mandi. Tetapi kalau air susah didapat atau terbatas kwantitasnya maka solusi terbaik ialah pakai jubah dan tutup segala-galanya.
Masalahnya serupa juga bagi orang Inuit (Eskimo) atau mereka yang bukan Inuit tetapi berada di daerah iklim dingin. Pada musim dingin harus tutup badan dan kepala agar tidak mati kedinginan. Apakah berpakai seperti orang Inuit adalah pakaian agama ataukah diharuskan oleh iklim? http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTEwMDI4MDc4NA== Dust storm halts oil exports Published Date: April 14, 2011 KUWAIT: OPEC member Kuwait yesterday halted oil exports as a "precautionary measure" after a blinding dust storm hit the desert Gulf state, a Kuwait Petroleum Corp spokesman said. Oil exports from terminals, facilities to receive vessels and some maintenance works at oil refineries were "halted as a precautionary measure", Sheikh Talal Al-Sabah said in a KPC statement. He added, however, the stoppage would not affect Kuwait's commitments to clients as exports would resume once the dust cleared. The education ministry also suspended study at all schools and universities due to the dust storm caused by winds blowing at high speed and reducing visibility to less than 200 m. Air traffic was partially affected with incoming flights diverted to neighbouring airports while departures operated normal services, the civil aviation department said, quoted by the KUNA state news agency. Operations at the state's three commercial ports were also suspended due to low visibility, the ports authority said. Kuwait, OPEC's fifth-largest producer, pumps around 2.3 million barrels of crude oil daily through export facilities in the south of the country. Last week, a similar dust storm also caused a suspension of oil exports and air traffic. Kuwait has had little rainfall for the fourth winter in a row, making the desert sand loose and easily carried aloft by strong winds. Dust storms are rare in winter but common in summer when temperatures soar. - AFP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
