...reason why one winter is warmer than another has to do with weather patterns and the location of the jet stream, which varies month to month and year to year. Right now, we’re on a warm side, but weather predictions show that in Boston, we’re headed for cold weather as we get on the wrong side of the jet stream...
...sheet. The latter event could raise sea levels a whopping 5 meters, or about 16 ft., which could drown huge swaths of low-lying coastland and essentially wipe out countries like Bangladesh and the Maldives. Modest temperature increases could also shut off key ocean currents, like the Gulf Stream, plunging Europe into a mini...
...million. Emanuel hasn?t been as successful in fundraising, but he?s recruited some well-regarded candidates, including a group of Iraq war veterans and Shuler. At the same time, the pair have also emerged as key Democratic players on Capitol Hill. With his endless stream of press releases and press conferences, Schumer is perhaps the Dem's leading attack dog; over the last week he has lead his party in demanding information on any meetings the White House had with Abramoff. Emanuel has long pushed for the lobbying reforms that both parties are now so suddenly embracing. Both have...
...HOUR? There's an opportunity in this country for high-value, high-intellectual-content work to be done. I think of things like hybrids and the next generation of hybrid systems and transmissions. But there's no question that for other parts of the work stream, it's going to become much more difficult to be a player in this country...
...critters in question are favorites of scientists studying climate change. Quick and polychromatic, the frogs spend their days near stream banks, where their constant motion and vibrant hues make it easy for researchers to count them. Previous studies have shown that it's not heat alone that kills harlequins but also a pathogen--the chytrid fungus--that attacks their skin. The chytrid is actually a cool-weather organism, doing best at temperatures from 63°F to 77°F. Paradoxically, an effect of global warming is to increase cloud cover in the tropical forests, lowering daytime temperatures and making the frogs...
