Evidently not, though. To get a true picture of worldwide sea levels, Kopp and his colleagues gathered data from a wide range of individual studies to put together a global picture. "We reviewed data from 40 sites," he says, including evidence from ancient coral reefs, eroded beaches and telltale sediments laid down in the ebb and flow of 125,000-year-old tides. The bottom line: local effects and faulty assumptions may have led to an underestimate. "It's unclear," says Kopp, "why the Southern Hemisphere would have been warmer than we thought." It may have to do with changes...
...Spatisserie's retro-Hollywood décor makes the experience all the more fabulous. It's appointed in ivory, lilac and coral hues, with leather chaise longues, wing chairs upholstered in silks and mohair, silvered mirrors, Art Deco chrome-and-perspex furnishings, and extraordinary flower displays. You don't need to be a client of the spa to use the Spatisserie, but you will be given seating preference if you are, so get a treatment - but nothing too vigorous, of course. We recommend the superlative Vaishaly facial ($155). The Dorchester is the only place that offers it outside of Vaishaly...
...there to receive his second Fighter of the Year award from The Ring magazine. Even as old palookas cuss up a storm, he prays before his meal. His mother says he was always "very disciplined and God-fearing" - taking after her, of course. Her front garden features a coral-lined altar to the Virgin Mary, and an entire shelf in her living room is filled with icons and bric-a-brac in honor of Christ's mother. Dionisia wanted Manny to be a priest. Prayer reigns in his gym. "After each workout," says Giongco, "he requests a moment of silence...
...Arabian Sea. There, three miles offshore, was a cluster of 300 man-made islands shaped like a map of the globe. Each was named after a country or a city. The massive archipelago stretched across six miles and supposedly had been constructed with more than 5,000 tons of coral, making it the largest artificial reef on the planet. "See?" I said. "This is the World." (See 10 things to do in Dubai...
...heavy oxygen cylinders or uncomfortable mouthpieces and masks. Better still, the motor is virtually soundless, leaving sea creatures undisturbed and preserving a sense of the exotic. It won't take you long to get a feel for the acceleration and steering, and you won't need brakes: the coral is low-lying, and there's nothing to bump into apart from other sub-scooters (although there's little chance of that with scuba-diving guides pointing the way). Sure, the sub-scooter is too sedate for James Bond and probably rather restrictive for experienced divers, but it's still...
