Black carbon and CO2 each contribute to global warming in different ways. CO2 intensifies the greenhouse effect, allowing sunlight from space to enter through the atmosphere, then trapping the sun's energy as it bounces off the surface of the planet - like a greenhouse. (Of course, without some greenhouse warming, the earth would be a cold, dead place, but too much CO2 accelerates the effect and could make the earth too hot to be habitable. The temperature on Venus, for instance, where the atmosphere is 96% CO2, is over 400°C, or 750°F.) By contrast, black carbon...
...lurking in the shadows of lunar craters would have been there for a long, long time - billions of years, even. On Earth, for example, scientists get their best information about the planet's climatic history from ancient air trapped in polar ice, says Greg Delory of the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. Similarly, the lunar poles are record keepers of conditions over long periods. They are the dusty attic of the solar system, says Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA headquarters...
...contrasts most with the upbeat tone of the rest of the album is “Third Avenue.” The fast-paced rhythm that pervades the album is replaced by a slow Motown groove. Appearing right in the middle of the album, it gives the listeners some space to relax. It also allows Sultan’s voice to shine through, his high notes lightening the track’s soulful edge. The fact that this track appears right before “Tastebuds” is perhaps intentional, and makes the latter more surprising than it would...
...enjoy the fruits of your labor? LEG: The Queen’s Head was probably one of my greatest accomplishments, I’d say. It started off with the dream of having a pub in Loker Commons which at the time was just this terribly underused space. And there were a couple of times where we had to stand our ground and put up a fight to have it turn out the way we wanted it to turn out and the idea was to have a place where all students can go and really where the student...
...students are generally separate from that,” explained Xavier Rios, a graduate student in biophysics. Hardeep A. Ranu, an affiliate of the School of Public Health, was also grateful for the rare opportunity. “Its awesome to come to something like this in a queer space,” said Ranu, who attended with her partner. “And we always dance like crazy people at weddings, so we needed this.”The QSA hopes to continue hosting ballroom classes, given the success of the event.“We build queer community...
