...believes she did fix her boy. A psychological evaluation from UCLA's neuropsychiatric hospital, dated May 10, 2005, was "conclusive for a diagnosis of Autistic Disorder," and yet here, running toward us on a warm California afternoon, is Evan, shouting out, "Are you here to play with me? When are we going to play?" McCarthy's boy is a vivacious, articulate and communicative child who seems to have beaten the condition. He is an inspiration, the fact of him as incontrovertible as any study done in any laboratory in the world. (See pictures of a school for autistic children...
What might have happened back in the Pliocene, say Fedorov and his colleagues, is that an initial bout of global warming led to severer hurricanes - a distinct possibility supported by recent research published in Science and Nature Geoscience - and severer hurricanes led to more warming. Although most of us think about hurricanes in terms of their impact on the land, they also wreak havoc on the sea, churning the water like giant mixers and forcing warm surface waters deeper. When that occurs in the central Pacific, "the ocean responds by sending that water to the East," where it rises again...
...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...
That in turn suggests that if we keep pouring CO2 into the atmosphere and warm the globe by several degrees, even a successful effort to bring carbon dioxide back down to today's levels may not restore the temperature. "You might," he says, "end up with a different climate...
...original life from 1989 to 2003, and the story of their reunion, including their huge concerts at Glastonbury and Hyde Park. The film is structured rather curiously, frequently interrupting the narrative of the band’s career to show footage from 2009’s warm-up gigs and jumping from the youthful teenage version of the band writing their first album, “Leisure,” to the seasoned veterans touring their greatest hits around Britain. As such, the film can be a little confusing for those who don’t already have a pretty...
