&lt;p&gt;Quote: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russian agencies, quoting the government's press service, said Putin treated Obama to black caviar with sour cream, smoked beluga with pancakes and tea made in the traditional Russian samovar, a big coal-fired kettle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;IUCN classifies the beluga as Endangered. It is a protected species listed in appendix III of the Bern Convention and its trade is restricted under CITES appendix II. The Mediterranean population is strongly protected under appendix II of the Bern Convention, prohibiting any intentional killing of these fish.&lt;/p&gt;

Why would scientists not want to become politicians?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One hears big promises from the G8 leaders. Unfortunately the long term (2050) goal may not be tangible at all. To reduce green house gases by 80% by 2050, good, but 80% of what? Where is the benchmark?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One hopes to see a short term (2025) concrete measure, yet there is hardly any. Many people in their late middle age may not even live to welcome 2025, let alone 2050.&lt;/p&gt;
