...World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports that 2004 was the fourth warmest year since 1861. The fact that the nine warmest years in weather-keeping history have occurred in the last 10 years tells us that change in the Earth??s temperature, like that of the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, is accelerating. Over the last few years the WMO has also concluded that some of the recent increases in weather variability—intense storms, drought, and heat waves—is due to the increased heat accumulating in the atmosphere and oceans...
...amount of insulation in Earth??s atmosphere due to greenhouse gases released from the combustion of coal, oil, and gas is well established, and it now overwhelms much of the natural decadal and centennial climate variability. This realization has led to the widely accepted scientific assessment that most of the warming over the past 50 years is due to human activity...
Over the past two million years, Earth??s climate has cycled about a dozen times between periods of cold and warm conditions. Most of the species on Earth today have thrived over this period because they can accommodate a wide range of temperatures. However, today’s temperature extremes are taking these species into uncharted territory...
Next, Loayza laid down his ideas for what makes an ideal TV host. The female host should be, he wrote, “down to earth?? as well as “smart, funny, and attractive.” This should be combined with a “fearless but realistic” outlook towards her surroundings. Her male counterpart should be an “everyday guy” whose quick wit will be his “mental security blanket,” enabling the duo to plow through dangerous situations. His relationship with...
Charbonneau said his previous attempts to obtain infrared data from a ground telescope failed because thermal radiation from the earth??s atmosphere and the telescope overwhelmed the signal from the planet...
