...RECORDS 8,848 Altitude, in meters, at which the world's highest mobile phone call was made, on May 21, by climber Rod Baber from the summit of Mount Everest -30 Temperature, in degrees Celsius, when Baber made the call. The phone's batteries were taped to his body to ensure they would stay warm enough to work...
...Instead, the consequences of a disruption to the thermohaline circulation are more likely to simply mitigate the predicted effects of global warming. “The important thing is that part of the world, Scandinavia and Europe, is likely to warm by 4-6 degrees Celsius over the next 100 years,” Schrag says. “So this [effect] will just cause these areas to return to normal...
...greencard-wanting, –opolous somebody” because I was so culturally and linguistically lost. Even the most mundane activities became an exciting challenge requiring all my energy and enthusiasm—my roommate in Athens once found me trying to defrost frozen spinach on the Celsius stove with a dictionary in one hand and a calculator in the other.Even the way I drink coffee came into question. Greeks can spend hours talking over one espresso; I would consume my caffeine through an IV en route to section if I could. But once I sipped like a regular...
...process of looking at what he could do with his skills, he realized he could make a difference in the field of atmospheric physics. “For decades now the range of estimated temperature increases has been between one and a half and four and a half degrees Celsius,” he said. “Part of that uncertainty is to do with water vapor.” “It interests me and allows me to make a contribution to [fighting] what I think is the biggest threat to the planet,” Thompson...
...constructing a tank of water that was cold on one end and hot on the other. Worms were then scattered randomly across the tank. Instead of standing still, as Girguis had expected them to, the worms all migrated to the region of the water that was roughly 50 degrees Celsius. This effectively mapped out the temperature range the organisms could tolerate, according to Girguis. The worms’ natural habitat is “as hot as the hottest deserts on Earth,” Girguis said. Because water conducts heat so well and because worms are unable to regulate...
