...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's puzzling temperatures...
...balky brakes such a shocking story is not so much the company's manufacture of some shoddy cars or even its dreadful crisis management - though those are errors that will cost it more than $2 billion in repairs and lost sales this year. It's something more pernicious: the vapor lock that seems to have seized Toyota's mythologized corporate culture and turned one of the most admired companies in the world into a bunch of flailing gearheads. Not only is Toyota producing more flawed cars than in the past, but an organization known for its unrivaled ability to suss...
...combination of factors, including changes in weather patterns. Fewer clouds and more sunlight would create a layer of warm air right at the glaciers' surface, which would cause some melting. But most of the ice loss, he suggests, is due to sublimation - that is, ice turning directly into water vapor with no intermediate step. That tends to happen when temperatures are cold and the air is extremely dry, which is the case at Kilimanjaro's higher-than-19,000-ft. summit (it's the same reason ice cubes slowly wilt away in a frost-free freezer). That happens...
...small run all conspire to create a very intimate drinking experience. Each week, Sipsmith produces around 200 bottles, filling the small garage with heady, fruity aromas. The dry gin blends 10 botanicals including almonds, Seville orange peel and licorice root; while the vodka gives off a sweet, buttery vapor. Galsworthy and Hall constantly experiment with blends; the most successful to date is a vodka that smells and tastes exactly like English mustard. (See pictures of whisky being made...
...that as the Pacific Ocean has warmed over the past several decades - part of the gradual process of global warming - low-level cloud cover has lessened. That might be due to the fact that as the earth's surface warms, the atmosphere becomes more unstable and draws up water vapor from low altitudes to form deep clouds high in the sky. (Those types of high-altitude clouds don't have the same cooling effect.) The Science study also found that as the oceans warmed, the trade winds - the easterly surface winds that blow near the equator - weakened, which further dissipated...
