...what accounted for the higher global temperature? According to a new paper in Nature, one possible factor is hurricanes. Scientists have long suspected that global warming could make hurricanes more intense somehow, but the new study suggests the effect works both ways: tropical cyclones could help drive up temperatures in response. "We're suggesting that hurricanes could have created a permanent El Niño condition," says Yale's Alexey Fedorov, lead author of the study. (See pictures of the effects of climate change...
...while El Niño alone couldn't create long-lasting warming - since it's really just a rearrangement of the ocean's heat, not an overall increase - it could trigger an environmental feedback cycle that could. When you make the tropics warmer, "you also get more evaporation, so there's more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is a strong greenhouse gas," says Fedorov. So intense hurricanes can create conditions that warm the planet overall, leading to even more intense hurricanes, leading to more water vapor, and so on - a loop that could plausibly help explain the Pliocene...
...good men and women at Grafton Street Pub & Grill have the answer with their brand new Nuala Mule, a rhum and ginger alternative to beer. Grafton Street bartender Kyle Fletcher mixed the drink, which was designed by Kelly Sprouse, especially for FlyBy. Here’s how to make your own Nuala Mule...
Girls eventually believe that they are simply not talented in certain “risky” areas, or that there are more likely to make mistakes in boyish activities. For example, when students are asked to rate their future success in mathematics, girls consistently rate theirs lower than boys. Similarly, if you ask children whether a boy or a girl is more likely to get hurt riding a bicycle or climbing a tree, most agree that the girl is much more likely to injure herself. In reality, the opposite is true...
...would be inappropriate for the Weatherhead Center to pass judgment on the personal political views of any of its affiliates, or to make affiliation contingent upon some political criterion,” wrote Beth Simmons, Jeffry Frieden, and James Robinson—director and acting directors of the Weatherhead Center, respectively—in the statement...
