Question:
 It's improbable for the considerably lesser carbon dioxide cycle to govern the significantly larger water cycle under current climate change conditions. This notion lacks substantial scientific backing given our understanding of atmospheric dynamics.

 Carbon Dioxide vs Water Cycle Influence: A Perspective Analysis

The assertion that the significantly lesser volume of CO2 circulation might govern the hydrological cycle appears implausible upon closer inspection. To better understand why, let us delve deeper into how both cycles operate independently yet interconnect intricately under various conditions.

Carbon dioxide plays a pivotal role in regulating temperatures through its greenhouse effect capabilities; however, attributing total control over precipitation patterns solely to this minor constituent seems far-fetched without considering broader ecological dynamics. For instance:

• **Hydrologic Cycle:** Dominated largely by vast oceans covering two-thirds of earth’s surface area, evaporation forms clouds leading eventually back down again via rainfall – replenishing terrestrial ecosystems' moisture content essential for sustaining life therein.

• **CO2 Cycle:** Primarily influenced anthropogenically nowadays due partly to deforestation practices coupled alongside excessive combustion-derived emissions emanating predominantly from industries utilizing fossil fuels extensively - thereby exacerbating global warming phenomena overall.

Randomization is the process of making something random ; in various contexts this involves , for example :  generating a random permutation of a sequence ( such as when shuffling cards ) ;  selecting a random sample of a population ( important in statistical sampling ) ;  allocating experimental units via random assignment to a treatment or control condition ;  generating random numbers ( see Random number generation ) ; or  transforming a data stream ( such as when using a scrambler in telecommunications ) .   Randomization is not haphazard . Instead , a random process is a sequence of random variables describing a process whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern , but follow an evolution described by probability distributions . For example , a random sample of individuals from a population refers to a sample where every individual has a known probability of being sampled . This would be contrasted with nonprobability sampling where arbitrary individuals are selected .

David John Hand OBE FBA ( born 30 June 1950 in Peterborough ) is a British statistician . His research interests include multivariate statistics , classification methods , pattern recognition , the computational statistics and the foundations of statistics . He has written books on finance , measurement and computation in statistics , as well as authoring the Very Short Introduction to statistics .   Hand was a professor of statistics at the Open University from 1988 until 1999 , when he moved to Imperial College London . He was awarded the Guy Medal in Silver by the Royal Statistical Society in 2002 and served as its President in 2008 -- 9 , then again from in 2010 after Bernard Silverman stood down . He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2003 .   Hand 's book The Improbability Principle : Why Coincidences , Miracles , and Rare Events Happen Every Day was published by Scientific American in February 2014 .   Hand was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to research and innovation .

In engineering and science , dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their fundamental dimensions ( such as length , mass , time , and electric charge ) and units of measure ( such as miles vs. kilometers , or pounds vs. kilograms vs. grams ) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed . Converting from one dimensional unit to another is often somewhat complex . Dimensional analysis , or more specifically the factor-label method , also known as the unit-factor method , is a widely used technique for such conversions using the rules of algebra .   The concept of physical dimension was introduced by Joseph Fourier in 1822 . Physical quantities that are measurable ( commensurable ) have the same dimension ( length , time , mass ) and can be directly compared to each other , even if they are originally expressed in differing units of measure ( inches and meters , pounds and newtons ) . If physical quantities have different dimensions ( length verses mass ) , they can not be compared by similar units ( are incommensurable ) and can not be compared in quantity . Hence , it is meaningless to ask whether a kilogram is greater than , equal to , or less than an hour .   Any physically meaningful equation ( and likewise any inequality and inequation ) will have the same dimensions on their left and right sides , a property known as `` dimensional homogeneity '' . Checking for dimensional homogeneity is a common application of dimensional analysis . Dimensional analysis is also routinely used as a check of the plausibility of derived equations and computations . It is generally used to categorize types of physical quantities and units based on their relationship to or dependence on other units .

A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area ( away from the wind ) . The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a `` shadow '' of dryness behind them . Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains , where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top . The air , without much moisture left , advances behind the mountains creating a drier side called the `` rain shadow '' .

A radiant heating and cooling system refer to temperature-controlled surfaces that exchange heat with their surrounding environment through convection and radiation . By definition , in radiant heating and cooling systems , thermal radiation covers more than 50 % of heat exchange within the space .  Hydronic radiant heating and cooling system is water based radiant system . It refers to panels or embedded building components ( floors , ceilings or walls ) . Other types include air-based and electrical systems ( which use electrical resistance for heating purpose mainly ) . Important portions of building surfaces are usually required for the radiant exchange .

Deadweight tonnage ( also known as deadweight ; abbreviated to DWT , D.W.T. , d.w.t. , or dwt ) or tons deadweight ( TDW ) is a measure of how much mass a ship is carrying or can safely carry ; it does not include the weight of the ship . DWT is the sum of the weights of cargo , fuel , fresh water , ballast water , provisions , passengers , and crew .   DWT is often used to specify a ship 's maximum permissible deadweight ( i.e. when she is fully loaded so that her Plimsoll line is at water level ) , although it may also denote the actual DWT of a ship not loaded to capacity .

notice   A diphthong ( -LSB- ˈdɪfθɒŋ -RSB- or -LSB- ˈdɪpθɒŋ -RSB- ; from Greek : δίψθογγος , diphthongos , literally `` two sounds '' or `` two tones '' ) , also known as a gliding vowel , is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable . Technically , a diphthong is a vowel with two different targets : that is , the tongue ( and/or other parts of the speech apparatus ) moves during the pronunciation of the vowel . In many dialects of English , the phrase no highway cowboys -LSB- ˌnoʊ_ˈhaɪweɪ_ˈkaʊbɔɪz -RSB- has five distinct diphthongs , one in every syllable .   Diphthongs contrast with monophthongs , where the tongue or other speech organs do not move and the syllable contains only a single vowel sound . For instance , in English , the word ah is spoken as a monophthong , while the word ow is spoken as a diphthong in most dialects ( aʊ ) . Where two adjacent vowel sounds occur in different syllables -- for example , in the English word re-elect -- the result is described as hiatus , not as a diphthong .   Diphthongs often form when separate vowels are run together in rapid speech during a conversation . However , there are also unitary diphthongs , as in the English examples above , which are heard by listeners as single-vowel sounds ( phonemes ) .   Diphthongs use two vowel sounds in one syllable to make a speech sound .

In geology , lake capture is the process of capture ( see Stream capture ) of the waters collected in a lake by a neighbor river basin .   The occurrence of a lake capture is mainly controlled by the water balance at the lake 's basin and the changes in topography due to erosion , sedimentation , and tectonism . If evaporation at the surface of a lake , plus the water losses through underground infiltration and plant evapotranspiration are high enough to account for all precipitation water collected by the lake , then the lake becomes endorheic , closed , or internally drained . This situation prevails until the water balance changes again and the lake overburdens the limits of its basin or until the lake capture occurs . Opening the drainage of an endorheic lacustrine basin by fluvial erosion generally implies a lake capture .   Lake captures are therefore very sensitive to the preexisting topography as well as to climatic and lithological factors . A climatic change towards more humid conditions can result in a higher water level in the internally drained basin , eventually causing overflow , this . In a longer time-scale , sediment colmatation of the lacustrine basin can also lead to overflow . Both can hinder the relative importance of the capture process carried out by erosion .   Examples include the Late Neogen capture of the endorheic Ebro Basin ( capture ) or the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville .

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento ( `` Sixth Element '' in English ) is a two-door , two-seater , V10 high-performance  lightweight limited edition car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini , which debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show . The Sesto Elemento 's name is a reference to the atomic number of carbon , in recognition of the car 's extensive use of carbon fiber .

The recognition heuristic , originally termed the recognition principle , has been used as a model in the psychology of judgment and decision making and as a heuristic in artificial intelligence . The goal is to make inferences about a criterion that is not directly accessible to the decision maker , based on recognition retrieved from memory . This is possible if recognition of alternatives has relevance to the criterion . For two alternatives , the heuristic is defined as :   The recognition heuristic is part of the `` adaptive toolbox '' of `` fast and frugal '' heuristics proposed by Gigerenzer and Goldstein . It is one of the most frugal of these , meaning it is simple or economical . In their original experiment , Daniel Goldstein and Gerd Gigerenzer quizzed students in Germany and the United States on the populations of both German and American cities . Participants received pairs of city names and had to indicate which city has more inhabitants . In this and similar experiments , the recognition heuristic typically describes about 80 -- 90 % of participants ' choices , in cases where they recognize one but not the other object ( see criticism of this measure below ) . Surprisingly , American students scored higher on German cities , while German participants scored higher on American cities , despite only recognizing a fraction of the foreign cities . This has been labeled the `` less-is-more effect '' and mathematically formalized .


Question: "Thus, in essence, alterations in our planet's climate can be attributed primarily to inherent, naturally occurring phenomena rather than human intervention." This statement maintains the original argument but rephrases it with different vocabulary while preserving meaning and structure. It still asserts that changes in Earth’s climate should predominantly be ascribed to intrinsic environmental processes instead of actions taken by humans.

 Understanding Recent Climate Fluctuations: A Closer Look
Recent discussions surrounding climate fluctuations often center around whether they're predominantly influenced by nature itself or triggered by mankind’s actions. Contrary to assertions suggesting climate alterations stem solely from natural occurrences, extensive research points overwhelmingly to significant human involvement.

The focus here lies specifically within periods marked by precise measurement tools – typically post-industrial revolution era - where data accuracy significantly improves; especially focusing half-century spans witnessing rapid acceleration regarding industrial expansion coupled alongside initial satellite monitoring capabilities enabling detailed upper atmosphere studies. Anthropocentric elements dominate explanations behind observable shifts:

- Escalating volumes of heat-trapping gasses accumulating within earth's atmosphere.
- Extensive modifications imposed upon terrestrial surfaces through widespread deforestation practices.
- Heightened presence of particulate matter resulting directly from various combustion sources.

Alternative theories propose inherent planetary cycles potentially influencing outcomes but fail convincingly under scrutiny compared against mounting empirical proof implicating humanity instead:

Solar radiation variations,
Volcanic eruptions' cooling effects.

IPCC categorically states "extreme likelihood" (>95%) exists linking Homo sapien behaviors as prime catalysts propelling temperatures upwards since mid-twentieth century. Such conclusions rest firmly grounded across diverse evidentiary strands encompassing fundamental physics principles governing thermoregulation dynamics plus historical reconstructions revealing anomalous deviations beyond typical variability norms. Additionally, sophisticated modeling techniques consistently fall short replicating current thermal trends absent inclusion of CO₂ emission trajectories. Lastly, alternative non-anthropomorphic hypotheses cannot satisfactorily account for documented anomalies either.

This consensus viewpoint enjoys broad endorsement spanning virtually every major academic institution globally along with nearly two hundred additional learned societies collectively endorsing identical findings concerning anthropogenically-driven climate destabilization phenomena (referencing comprehensive survey detailing international perspectives).

De gustibus non est disputandum , or de gustibus non disputandum est , is a Latin maxim meaning `` In matters of taste , there can be no disputes '' ( literally `` about tastes , it should not be disputed/discussed '' ) . The implication is that everyone 's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that can not be right or wrong , so they should never be argued about as if they were . Sometimes the phrase is expanded as De gustibus et coloribus ... referring to tastes and colors . The phrase is most commonly rendered in English as `` There is no accounting for taste ( s ) . '' The original quotation is an ancient Latin adage , i.e. Roman , and discussed by many philosophers and economists .   The phrase is misquoted in Act I of Anton Chekhov 's play The Seagull . The character Shamrayev conflates it with the phrase de mortuis nil nisi bonum ( in the alternate form : de mortuis , aut bene aut nihil : `` of the dead , either -LSB- speak -RSB- good or -LSB- say -RSB- nothing '' ) , resulting in `` de gustibus aut bene , aut nihil '' , `` Let nothing be said of taste but what is good . ''

A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds ( or the same sound ) in two or more words , most often in the final syllables of lines in poems and songs . The word rhyme is also a pars pro toto ( `` a part ( taken ) for the whole '' ) that means a short poem , such as a rhyming couplet or other brief rhyming poem such as nursery rhymes .

A day is a unit of time . In common usage , it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime , the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon . The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day . Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context , need and convenience . In 1960 , the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth , and was designated the SI base unit of time . The unit of measurement `` day '' , redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d , is not an SI unit , but is accepted for use with SI . A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds , plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) , and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time . The word day may also refer to a day of the week or to a calendar date , as in answer to the question , `` On which day ? '' The life patterns of humans and many other species are related to Earth 's solar day and the day-night cycle ( see circadian rhythms ) .   In recent decades the average length of a solar day on Earth has been about 86 400.002 seconds ( 24.000 000 6 hours ) and there are about 365.242 2 solar days in one mean tropical year . Because celestial orbits are not perfectly circular , and thus objects travel at different speeds at various positions in their orbit , a solar day is not the same length of time throughout the orbital year . A day , understood as the span of time it takes for the Earth to make one entire rotation  with respect to the celestial background or a distant star ( assumed to be fixed ) , is called a stellar day . This period of rotation is about 4 minutes less than 24 hours ( 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds ) and there are about 366.242 2 stellar days in one mean tropical year ( one stellar day more than the number of solar days ) . Mainly due to tidal effects , the Earth 's rotational period is not constant , resulting in further minor variations for both solar days and stellar `` days '' . Other planets and moons have stellar and solar days of different lengths to Earth 's .

Language , Truth , and Logic is a 1936 work of philosophy by Alfred Jules Ayer . It brought some of the ideas of the Vienna Circle and the logical empiricists to the attention of the English-speaking world .   In the book , Ayer defines , explains , and argues for the verification principle of logical positivism , sometimes referred to as the criterion of significance or criterion of meaning . Ayer explains how the principle of verifiability may be applied to the problems of philosophy .

In chemistry , a derivative is a compound that is derive #Verb from a similar compound by a chemical reaction .   In the past , derivative also meant a compound that can be imagined to arise from another compound , if one atom or group of atoms is replaced with another atom or group of atoms , but modern chemical language now uses the term structural analog for this meaning , thus eliminating ambiguity . The term `` structural analogue '' is common in organic chemistry .   In biochemistry , the word is used for compounds that at least theoretically can be formed from the precursor compound .   Chemical derivatives may be used to facilitate analysis . For example , melting point ( MP ) analysis can assist in identification of many organic compounds . A crystalline derivative may be prepared , such as a semicarbazone or 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone ( derived from aldehydes or ketones ) , as a simple way of verifying the identity of the original compound , assuming that a table of derivative MP values is available . Prior to the advent of spectroscopic analysis , such methods were widely used .

Reconstructive memory is a theory of elaborate memory recall proposed within the field of cognitive psychology , in which the act of remembering is influenced by various other cognitive processes including perception , imagination , semantic memory and beliefs , amongst others . People view their memories as being a coherent and truthful account of episodic memory and believe that their perspective is free from error during recall . However the reconstructive process of memory recall is subject to distortion by other intervening cognitive functions such as individual perceptions , social influences , and world knowledge , all of which can lead to errors during reconstruction .

A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language , called the proto-language of that family . The term ` family ' reflects the tree model of language origination in historical linguistics , which makes use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family tree , or in a subsequent modification , to species in a phylogenetic tree of evolutionary taxonomy . Linguists therefore describe the daughter languages within a language family as being genetically related .   Estimates of the number of living languages vary from 5,000 to 8,000 , depending on the precision of one 's definition of `` language '' , and in particular on how one classifies dialects . The 2013 edition of Ethnologue catalogs just over 7,000 living human languages . A `` living language '' is simply one that is used as the primary form of communication of a group of people . There are also many dead and extinct languages , as well as some that are still insufficiently studied to be classified , or are even unknown outside their respective speech communities .   Membership of languages in a language family is established by comparative linguistics . Sister languages are said to have a `` genetic '' or `` genealogical '' relationship . The latter term is older . Speakers of a language family belong to a common speech community . The divergence of a proto-language into daughter languages typically occurs through geographical separation , with the original speech community gradually evolving into distinct linguistic units . Individuals belonging to other speech communities may also adopt languages from a different language family through the language shift process .   Genealogically related languages present shared retentions ; that is , features of the proto-language ( or reflexes of such features ) that can not be explained by chance or borrowing ( convergence ) . Membership in a branch or group within a language family is established by shared innovations ; that is , common features of those languages that are not found in the common ancestor of the entire family . For example , Germanic languages are `` Germanic '' in that they share vocabulary and grammatical features that are not believed to have been present in the Proto-Indo-European language . These features are believed to be innovations that took place in Proto-Germanic , a descendant of Proto-Indo-European that was the source of all Germanic languages .

Language processing refers to the way humans use words to communicate ideas and feelings , and how such communications are processed and understood . Thus it is how the brain creates and understands language . Most recent theories consider that this process is carried out entirely by and inside the brain ; however , environmental factors play a role in the development of language processing as well .   This is considered one of the most characteristic abilities of the human species -- perhaps the most characteristic . However very little is known about it and there is huge scope for research on it . This part of the brain also enhances the way linguistic learners learn and think .   Most of the knowledge acquired to date on the subject has come from patients who have suffered some type of significant head injury , whether external ( wounds , bullets ) or internal ( strokes , tumors , degenerative diseases ) .   Studies have shown that most of the language processing functions are carried out in the cerebral cortex . The essential function of the cortical language areas is symbolic representation . Even though language exists in different forms , all of them are based on symbolic representation .

In ecology , regime shifts are large , abrupt , persistent changes in the structure and function of a system . A regime is a characteristic behaviour of a system which is maintained by mutually reinforced processes or feedbacks . Regimes are considered persistent relative to the time period over which the shift occurs . The change of regimes , or the shift , usually occurs when a smooth change in an internal process ( feedback ) or a single disturbance ( external shocks ) triggers a completely different system behavior . Although such non-linear changes have been widely studied in different disciplines ranging from atoms to climate dynamics , regime shifts have gained importance in ecology because they can substantially affect the flow of ecosystem services that societies rely upon , such as provision of food , clean water or climate regulation . Moreover , regime shift occurrence is expected to increase as human influence on the planet increases -- the Anthropocene -- including current trends on human induced climate change and biodiversity loss .

Rationalization may refer to :  Rationalization ( economics ) , an attempt to change an ad hoc workflow into one based on published rules ; also , jargon for a reduction in staff  Rationalisation ( mathematics ) , the process of removing a square root or imaginary number from the denominator of a fraction  Rationalization ( psychology ) , a psychological defense mechanism in which perceived controversial behaviors are logically justified also known as `` making excuses ''  Post-purchase rationalization , a tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected  Rationalization ( sociology ) , the replacement of traditions , values , and emotions as motives for behavior in society with rational motives


Question: "Thus, in essence, alterations in our planet's climate predominantly stem from inherent natural processes rather than human activities." This statement maintains the original argument but rephrases it with different words while preserving meaning, complexity, and sentence structure. It still conveys skepticism about anthropogenic influence on climate change by emphasizing nature as the primary driver.

 Natural Climate Variability vs Anthropogenic Influence
The discourse around climate dynamics often oscillates between attributing changes solely to nature’s inherent variability versus emphasizing anthropogenic impacts. Proponents arguing that climate change is predominantly natural highlight historical fluctuations in temperatures, volcanic eruptions, solar radiation variations, and orbital shifts influencing Earth’s climate system long before significant human interference. They contend that current trends could merely reflect cyclical patterns observed throughout geologic history rather than direct consequences of industrial-era emissions. Critics suggest focusing exclusively on natural cycles neglects overwhelming scientific consensus linking escalating atmospheric CO2 concentrations — largely attributable to burning fossil fuels— with rising global averages. However valid both perspectives might seem independently; reconciling them requires acknowledging complex interactions within coupled socio-environmental systems. Recognizing limits imposed by planetary boundaries encourages responsible stewardship aimed at preserving ecological resilience amidst inevitable alterations wrought either internally through biogeochemical feedback loops or externally via technological advancements shaping landscapes and seascapes alike.
This argumentative stance maintains relevance even when considering broader frameworks advocating integrated approaches blending economic prosperity, societal welfare, and environmental guardianship under umbrellas such as "green economies" or "blue growth." Yet skepticism remains regarding whether incremental reforms can sufficiently counteract mounting pressures exerted across multiple scales simultaneously. Ultimately, navigating pathways forward necessitates embracing uncertainty associated with nonlinear responses characteristic of dynamic ecosystems undergoing rapid transformations exacerbated by cumulative effects arising from diverse sources operating synergistically despite intentions otherwise noble. Thus far, endeavors aiming to reconcile developmental aspirations compatible with safeguarding life-supporting infrastructure appear insufficiently ambitious given looming challenges anticipated ahead unless transformative governance architectures emerge capable of fostering collective action beyond narrow self-interests prevailing hitherto.

In essence, discussions surrounding attribution mechanisms underlying contemporary climatological anomalies invariably circle back towards delineating responsibilities shared amongst stakeholders spanning local communities up until international bodies tasked with orchestrating cooperative strategies designed to mitigate adverse outcomes stemming from unchecked expansionism irrespective of ideological leanings espoused beforehand. Whether subscribing fully onto narratives privileging spontaneous order emerging organically devoid external impositions OR endorsing proactive interventions calibrated meticulously accounting for unintended repercussions emanating thereof boils down essentially unto philosophical predispositions guiding individual Weltanschauungen accordingly thereafter... notwithstanding universal desideratum ensuring survival prospects remain viable indefinitely henceforth onwards regardless whichever camp prevails ultimately speaking!

Regulation of emotion describes ways that people attempt to regulate their emotions , for instance by denying , intensifying , weakening , curtailing , masking , or completely hiding them . Emotion regulation can also be described as the process in which people modify their emotional reactions -- the coping processes that increase or decrease the intensity of the moment .   Human lives can be divided into three major stages : childhood , adolescence and adulthood . During each of these phases regulation of emotions drastically improves . There are individual differences in the way people regulate their emotions and in how well they do it . People who are good at it are seen as more emotionally intelligent . Emotion regulation is essential to socialization and is dependent on the culture one lives in as well as the specific social context of the situation .   The process of regulating emotions is complex , and involves four stages :  internal feeling states ( i.e. the subjective experience of emotion )  emotion-related cognitions ( e.g. thought reactions to a situation )  emotion-related physiological processes ( e.g. heart rate , hormonal , or other physiological reactions )  emotion-related behavior ( e.g. actions or facial expressions related to emotion ) .   Strong emotional reactions are not always desirable , may be inconsistent with social norms , or may cause physical or psychological suffering . Thus people attempt to inhibit undesirable or painful emotions and enhance desirable or pleasant emotions .

In linguistics , a relativizer ( abbreviated ) is a type of conjunction that introduces a relative clause . For example , in English , the conjunction that may be considered a relativizer in a sentence such as `` I have one that you can use . '' Relativizers do not appear , at least overtly , in all languages ; even in languages that do have overt or pronounced relativizers , they do not necessarily appear all of the time . For these reasons it has been suggested that in some cases , a `` zero relativizer '' may be present , meaning that a relativizer is implied in the grammar but is not actually realized in speech or writing . For example , the word that can be omitted in the above English example , producing `` I have one you can use '' , using ( on this analysis ) a zero relativizer .

In classical rhetoric , figures of speech are classified as one of the four fundamental rhetorical operations or quadripartita ratio : addition ( adiectio ) , omission ( detractio ) , permutation ( immutatio ) and transposition ( transmutatio ) .

Clinton Richard Dawkins ( born 26 March 1941 ) is an English ethologist , evolutionary biologist and author . He is an emeritus fellow of New College , Oxford , and was the University of Oxford 's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008 .   Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene , which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme . With his book The Extended Phenotype ( 1982 ) , he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism 's body , but can stretch far into the environment . In 2006 , he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science .   Dawkins is an atheist , and is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design . In The Blind Watchmaker ( 1986 ) , he argues against the watchmaker analogy , an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms . Instead , he describes evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker in that reproduction , mutation , and selection are unguided by any designer . In The God Delusion ( 2006 ) , Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion . He opposes the teaching of creationism in schools .   Dawkins has been awarded many prestigious academic and writing awards and he makes regular television , radio and Internet appearances , predominantly discussing his books , his atheism , and his ideas and opinions as a public intellectual .

One million ( 1,000,000 ) or one thousand thousand is the natural number following 999,999 and preceding 1,000,001 . The word is derived from the early Italian millione ( milione in modern Italian ) , from mille , `` thousand '' , plus the augmentative suffix - one . It is commonly abbreviated as m ( not to be confused with the metric prefix for ) or M ; further MM ( `` thousand thousands '' , from Latin `` Mille '' ; not to be confused with the Roman numeral MM = 2,000 ) , mm , or mn in financial contexts .   In scientific notation , it is written as or 106 . Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega ( M ) , when dealing with SI units ; for example , 1 megawatt ( 1 MW ) equals 1,000,000 watts .   The meaning of the word `` million '' is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems , unlike the larger numbers , which have different names in the two systems .   The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number , as in `` Not in a million years '' and `` You 're one in a million '' , or a hyperbole , as in `` I 've walked a million miles '' and `` You 've asked the million-dollar question '' .

Reference is a relation between objects in which one object designates , or acts as a means by which to connect to or link to , another object . The first object in this relation is said to refer to the second object . The second object , the one to which the first object refers , is called the referent of the first object .   References can take on many forms , including : a thought , a sensory perception that is audible ( onomatopoeia ) , visual ( text ) , olfactory , or tactile , emotional state , relationship with other , spacetime coordinate , symbolic or alpha-numeric , a physical object or an energy projection . In some cases , methods are used that intentionally hide the reference from some observers , as in cryptography .   References feature in many spheres of human activity and knowledge , and the term adopts shades of meaning particular to the contexts in which it is used . Some of them are described in the sections below .

Landscape archaeology is the study of the ways in which people in the past constructed and used the environment around them . Landscape archaeology is inherently multidisciplinary in its approach to the study of culture , and is used by pre-historical , classic , and historic archaeologists . The key feature that distinguishes landscape archaeology from other archaeological approaches to sites is that there is an explicit emphasis on the sites ' relationships between material culture , human alteration of land/cultural modifications to landscape , and the natural environment . The study of landscape archaeology ( also sometimes referred to as the archaeology of the cultural landscape ) has evolved to include how landscapes were used to create and reinforce social inequality and to announce one 's social status to the community at large .

Delegitimisation ( also spelled delegitimation ) is literally the withdrawal of legitimacy , usually from some institution such as a state , cultural practice , etc. which may have acquired it explicitly or implicitly , by statute or accepted practice .   A sociopsychological process which undermines or marginalises an entity by presenting facts and/or value judgments which are construed to withdraw legitimacy is generally observed .   A necessary process for the advancement of human culture , it can in some cases be a self-justifying mechanism , with the ultimate goal of justifying harm of an outgroup .   The concept applies to a wide spectrum of social contexts ranging from disputes about political entities to chronic illnesses .

Research comprises `` creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge , including knowledge of humans , culture and society , and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications . '' It is used to establish or confirm facts , reaffirm the results of previous work , solve new or existing problems , support theorems , or develop new theories . A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field . Research projects can be used to develop further knowledge on a topic , or in the example of a school research project , they can be used to further a student 's research prowess to prepare them for future jobs or reports . To test the validity of instruments , procedures , or experiments , research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole . The primary purposes of basic research ( as opposed to applied research ) are documentation , discovery , interpretation , or the research and development ( R&D ) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge . Approaches to research depend on epistemologies , which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences . There are several forms of research : scientific , humanities , artistic , economic , social , business , marketing , practitioner research , life , technological , etc. .

'' '' is a poem by German pastor , poet , and hymnist Christian Fürchtegott Gellert , which first appeared in Gellert 's 1757 Collection of Odes and Songs . The poem is best known in a choral setting by Ludwig van Beethoven ( Opus 48 , No. 4 ) for chorus and piano , composed in 1803 . Beethoven 's choral anthem is usually entitled , the opening words of the poem , or The Heavens are Telling in English . An arrangement for organ and choir ( The Heavens are Telling , 1925 ) by Virgil Thomson is a popular version in the United States .   Gellert 's poem is inspired by the opening verses of Psalm 19 and expands upon those verses with themes of natural theology popular during Gellert 's lifetime , in which the Creator 's magnificence is revealed in the wonders of nature .


Question: Human-generated emissions of carbon dioxide have merely a negligible impact on climate change dynamics.

 Questioning Anthropogenic Influence on Climate Change
While some argue that man-made contributions to atmospheric changes hold little significance, overwhelming evidence supports a different narrative. A robust agreement among experts indicates that current climate alterations predominantly stem from human actions. Peer-reviewed research consistently endorses findings aligned with assessments made by authoritative bodies akin to the IPCC, highlighting humanity’s pivotal role in escalating temperatures globally. Among active researchers specializing in climate science, nearly unanimous backing exists for theories attributing recent shifts largely to anthropic influences; dissenting voices represent less than three percent of published work, often lacking reproducibility or containing methodological flaws.

The respiratory quotient ( or RQ or respiratory coefficient ) , is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate ( BMR ) when estimated from carbon dioxide production . It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body . Such measurements , like measurements of oxygen uptake , are forms of indirect calorimetry . It is measured using a respirometer . The Respiratory Quotient value indicates which macronutrients are being metabolized , as different energy pathways are used for fats , carbohydrates , and proteins . A value of 0.7 indicates that lipids are being metabolized , 0.8 for proteins , and 1.0 for carbohydrates . The approximate respiratory quotient of a mixed diet is 0.8 . Some of the other factors that may affect the respiratory quotient are energy balance , circulating insulin , and insulin sensitivity .   It can be used in the alveolar gas equation .

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources , which are naturally replenished on a human timescale , such as sunlight , wind , rain , tides , waves , and geothermal heat . Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas : electricity generation , air and water heating/cooling , transportation , and rural ( off-grid ) energy services .   Based on REN21 's 2016 report , renewables contributed 19.2 % to humans ' global energy consumption and 23.7 % to their generation of electricity in 2014 and 2015 , respectively . This energy consumption is divided as 8.9 % coming from traditional biomass , 4.2 % as heat energy ( modern biomass , geothermal and solar heat ) , 3.9 % hydro electricity and 2.2 % is electricity from wind , solar , geothermal , and biomass . Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$ 286 billion in 2015 , with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind , hydro , solar and biofuels . Globally , there are an estimated 7.7 million jobs associated with the renewable energy industries , with solar photovoltaics being the largest renewable employer . As of 2015 worldwide , more than half of all new electricity capacity installed was renewable .   Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas , in contrast to other energy sources , which are concentrated in a limited number of countries . Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is resulting in significant energy security , climate change mitigation , and economic benefits . The results of a recent review of the literature concluded that as greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emitters begin to be held liable for damages resulting from GHG emissions resulting in climate change , a high value for liability mitigation would provide powerful incentives for deployment of renewable energy technologies . In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power . At the national level , at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 percent of energy supply . National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond . Some places and at least two countries , Iceland and Norway generate all their electricity using renewable energy already , and many other countries have the set a goal to reach 100 % renewable energy in the future . For example , in Denmark the government decided to switch the total energy supply ( electricity , mobility and heating/cooling ) to 100 % renewable energy by 2050 .   While many renewable energy projects are large-scale , renewable technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries , where energy is often crucial in human development . United Nations ' Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that renewable energy has the ability to lift the poorest nations to new levels of prosperity . As most of renewables provide electricity , renewable energy deployment is often applied in conjunction with further electrification , which has several benefits : Electricity can be converted to heat ( where necessary generating higher temperatures than fossil fuels ) , can be converted into mechanical energy with high efficiency and is clean at the point of consumption . In addition to that electrification with renewable energy is much more efficient and therefore leads to a significant reduction in primary energy requirements , because most renewables do n't have a steam cycle with high losses ( fossil power plants usually have losses of 40 to 65 % ) .   Renewable energy systems are rapidly becoming more efficient and cheaper . Their share of total energy consumption is increasing . Growth in consumption of coal and oil could end by 2020 due to increased uptake of renewables and natural gas .

Recreational drug use is the use of a psychoactive drug to alter one 's mental state in a way that modifies emotions , perceptions , and feelings for recreational purposes . When a substance enters the user 's body , it brings on an intoxicating effect , often referred to as a `` high '' . Generally , people use recreational drugs that fall into three categories : depressants ( these drugs produce a feeling of relaxation and calmness ) ; stimulants ( these drugs give the user a sense of energy and alertness ) ; and psychedelic drugs ( these cause hallucinations and perceptual distortions that some users find appealing ) . In popular usage , it is generally considered to be a tolerated social behaviour rather than a serious medical condition such as self-medication .   Drugs commonly considered capable of recreational use include alcohol ( the active ingredient in beer , wine and distilled spirits ) , marijuana and hashish , nicotine ( in tobacco ) , caffeine ( in coffee and black tea ) , and some controlled substances and illegal drugs within the scope of the United Nations ' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and Convention on Psychotropic Substances . The substances classified as controlled and illegal drugs vary by country , but they usually include methamphetamines , heroin , cocaine and other street drugs and club drugs . In 2009 it was estimated that about 3 % to 6 % of people aged 15 to 65 had used illegal drugs at least once ( 149 to 270 million ) . International and domestic law enforcement agencies are perpetually occupied with interdiction efforts against illegal drug use , manufacture , and distribution .

Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person 's daily functioning . Other common symptoms include emotional problems , problems with language , and a decrease in motivation . A person 's consciousness is usually not affected . A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person 's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging . These diseases also have a significant effect on a person 's caregivers .   The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer 's disease , which makes up 50 % to 70 % of cases . Other common types include vascular dementia ( 25 % ) , Lewy body dementia ( 15 % ) , and frontotemporal dementia . Less common causes include normal pressure hydrocephalus , Parkinson 's disease , syphilis , and Creutzfeldt -- Jakob disease among others . More than one type of dementia may exist in the same person . A small proportion of cases run in families . In the DSM-5 , dementia was reclassified as a neurocognitive disorder , with various degrees of severity . Diagnosis is usually based on history of the illness and cognitive testing with medical imaging and blood work used to rule out other possible causes . The mini mental state examination is one commonly used cognitive test . Efforts to prevent dementia include trying to decrease risk factors such as high blood pressure , smoking , diabetes , and obesity . Screening the general population for the disorder is not recommended .   There is no cure for dementia . Cholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil are often used and may be beneficial in mild to moderate disorder . Overall benefit , however , may be minor . There are many measures that can improve the quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers . Cognitive and behavioral interventions may be appropriate . Educating and providing emotional support to the caregiver is important . Exercise programs may be beneficial with respect to activities of daily living and potentially improve outcomes . Treatment of behavioral problems with antipsychotics is common but not usually recommended due to the little benefit and side effects , including an increased risk of death .   Globally , dementia affected about 46 million people in 2015 . About 10 % of people develop the disorder at some point in their lives . It becomes more common with age . About 3 % of people between the ages of 65 -- 74 have dementia , 19 % between 75 and 84 and nearly half of those over 85 years of age . In 2013 dementia resulted in about 1.7 million deaths up from 0.8 million in 1990 . As more people are living longer , dementia is becoming more common in the population as a whole . For people of a specific age , however , it may be becoming less frequent , at least in the developed world , due to a decrease in risk factors . It is one of the most common causes of disability among the old . It is believed to result in economic costs of 604 billion USD a year . People with dementia are often physically or chemically restrained to a greater degree than necessary , raising issues of human rights . Social stigma against those affected is common .

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist , rather than as they may appear or might be imagined . Reality includes everything that is and has been , whether or not it is observable or comprehensible . A still broader definition includes that which has existed , exists , or will exist .   Philosophers , mathematicians , and other ancient and modern thinkers , such as Aristotle , Plato , Frege , Wittgenstein , and Russell , have made a distinction between thought corresponding to reality , coherent abstractions ( thoughts of things that are imaginable but not real ) , and that which can not even be rationally thought . By contrast existence is often restricted solely to that which has physical existence or has a direct basis in it in the way that thoughts do in the brain .   Reality is often contrasted with what is imaginary , illusory , delusional , ( only ) in the mind , dreams , what is false , what is fictional , or what is abstract . At the same time , what is abstract plays a role both in everyday life and in academic research . For instance , causality , virtue , life , and distributive justice are abstract concepts that can be difficult to define , but they are only rarely equated with pure delusions . Both the existence and reality of abstractions are in dispute : one extreme position regards them as mere words ; another position regards them as higher truths than less abstract concepts . This disagreement is the basis of the philosophical problem of universals .   The truth refers to what is real , while falsity refers to what is not . Fictions are considered not real .

A deep vein is a vein that is deep in the body . This contrasts with superficial veins that are close to the body 's surface .   Deep veins are almost always beside an artery with the same name ( e.g. the femoral vein is beside the femoral artery ) . Collectively , they carry the vast majority of the blood . Occlusion of a deep vein can be life-threatening and is most often caused by thrombosis . Occlusion of a deep vein by thrombosis is called deep vein thrombosis .   Because of their location deep within the body , operation on these veins can be difficult .

Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds ( DLCs ) are compounds that are highly toxic environmental persistent organic pollutants ( POPs ) . They are mostly by-products of various industrial processes - or , in case of dioxin-like PCBs and PBBs , part of intentionally produced mixtures . They include :  Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins ( PCDDs ) , or simply dioxins . PCDDs are derivatives of dibenzo-p-dioxin . There are 75 PCDD congeners , differing in the number and location of chlorine atoms , and seven of them are especially toxic , the most dangerous being 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin ( TCDD )  Polychlorinated dibenzofurans ( PCDFs ) , or furans . PCDFs are derivatives of dibenzofuran . There are 135 isomers , ten have dioxin-like properties .  Polychlorinated/polybrominated biphenyls ( PCBs/PBBs ) , derived from biphenyl , of which twelve are `` dioxin-like '' . Under certain conditions PCBs may form dibenzofurans/dioxins through partial oxidation .  Finally , dioxin may refer to 1,4-Dioxin proper , the basic chemical unit of the more complex dioxins . This simple compound is not persistent and has no PCDD-like toxicity .   Because dioxins refer to such a broad class of compounds that vary widely in toxicity , the concept of toxic equivalency factor ( TEF ) has been developed to facilitate risk assessment and regulatory control . Toxic equivalence factors ( TEFs ) exist for seven congeners of dioxins , ten furans and twelve PCBs . The reference congener is the most toxic dioxin 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin ( TCDD ) which per definition has a TEF of one .   In reference to their importance as environmental toxicants the term dioxins is used almost exclusively to refer to the sum of compounds ( as TEQ ) from the above groups which demonstrate the same specific toxic mode of action associated with TCDD . These include 17 PCDD/Fs and 12 PCBs . Incidents of contamination with PCBs are also often reported as dioxin contamination incidents since it is this toxic characteristic which is of most public and regulatory concern .

Köppen climate classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems . It was first published by Russian German climatologist Wladimir Köppen in 1884 , with several later modifications by Köppen , notably in 1918 and 1936 . Later , German climatologist Rudolf Geiger ( 1954 , 1961 ) collaborated with Köppen on changes to the classification system , which is thus sometimes called the Köppen -- Geiger climate classification system .   The Köppen climate classification system has been further modified , within the Trewartha climate classification system in the middle 1960s ( revised in 1980 ) . The Trewartha system sought to create a more refined middle latitude climate zone , which was one of the criticisms of the Köppen system ( the C climate group was too broad ) .

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions . The work of heat transport is traditionally driven by mechanical work , but can also be driven by heat , magnetism , electricity , laser , or other means . Refrigeration has many applications , including , but not limited to : household refrigerators , industrial freezers , cryogenics , and air conditioning . Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process , and also may be designed to be reversible , but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units .   Refrigeration has had a large impact on industry , lifestyle , agriculture and settlement patterns . The idea of preserving food dates back to at least the ancient Roman and Chinese empires . However , mechanical refrigeration technology has rapidly evolved in the last century , from ice harvesting to temperature-controlled rail cars . The introduction of refrigerated rail cars contributed to the westward expansion of the United States , allowing settlement in areas that were not on main transport channels such as rivers , harbors , or valley trails . Settlements were also developing in infertile parts of the country , filled with newly discovered natural resources . These new settlement patterns sparked the building of large cities which are able to thrive in areas that were otherwise thought to be inhospitable , such as Houston , Texas and Las Vegas , Nevada . In most developed countries , cities are heavily dependent upon refrigeration in supermarkets , in order to obtain their food for daily consumption . The increase in food sources has led to a larger concentration of agricultural sales coming from a smaller percentage of existing farms . Farms today have a much larger output per person in comparison to the late 1800s . This has resulted in new food sources available to entire populations , which has had a large impact on the nutrition of society .


Question: Human-generated emissions of carbon dioxide have merely a negligible impact on climate change dynamics.

 Minimal Role of Man-Made Emissions Questioned
The assertion that man-made greenhouse gases hold minimal sway over climate change faces scrutiny when examining scientific evidence. Greenhouse gases—predominantly water vapor, CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone—influence Earth’s temperature through absorption and emission of heat, maintaining its habitable state around 15°C instead of freezing conditions (-18°C) without them. Since pre-industrial times circa 1750, anthropogenic actions led to approximately a 40% rise in atmospheric CO2 levels, escalating from 280 parts per million (ppm) to roughly 406 ppm by 2017. Despite nature absorbing some emissions via "carbon sink" mechanisms, significant portions remain unabsorbed, accumulating in the air.
Emissions stem largely from burning fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas; plus deforestation, land degradation, and livestock farming contribute significantly. Projections indicate continued unchecked emissions might push Earth into unfamiliar territory by mid-century, jeopardizing ecological systems, biological diversity, and societal well-being globally. There's concern that surpassing a critical 2°C warming mark—the boundary deemed safe by UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—could occur as soon as 2036 under existing trends, underscoring urgency for mitigation strategies against intensifying impacts.

The radial velocity of an object with respect to a given point is the rate of change of the distance between the object and the point . That is , the radial velocity is the component of the object 's velocity that points in the direction of the radius connecting the object and the point . In astronomy , the point is usually taken to be the observer on Earth , so the radial velocity then denotes the speed with which the object moves away from or approaches the Earth .   In astronomy , radial velocity is often measured to the first order of approximation by Doppler spectroscopy . The quantity obtained by this method may be called the barycentric radial-velocity measure or spectroscopic radial velocity . However , due to relativistic and cosmological effects over the great distances that light typically travels to reach the observer from an astronomical object , this measure can not be accurately transformed to a geometric radial velocity without additional assumptions about the object and the space between it and the observer . By contrast , astrometric radial velocity is determined by astrometric observations ( for example , a secular change in the annual parallax ) .

Landing is the last part of a flight , where a flying animal , aircraft , or spacecraft returns to the ground . When the flying object returns to water , the process is called alighting , although it is commonly called `` landing , '' `` touchdown '' or `` splashdown '' as well . A normal aircraft flight would include several parts of flight including taxi , takeoff , climb , cruise , descent and landing .

A landmark is a recognizable natural or artificial feature used for navigation , a feature that stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances .   In modern use , the term can also be applied to smaller structures or features , that have become local or national symbols .

In dimensional analysis , a dimensionless quantity is a quantity to which no physical dimension is applicable . It also known as a bare number or a quantity of dimension one . Dimensionless quantities are widely used in many fields , such as mathematics , physics , engineering , and economics . By contrast , examples of quantities with dimensions are length , time , and speed , which are measured in dimensional units , such as metre , second and metre/second .

Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored ( black ) grape varieties . The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet , typical of young wines , through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines . The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white ; the red color comes from anthocyan pigments ( also called anthocyanins ) present in the skin of the grape ; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties , which produce a red colored . Much of the red-wine production process therefore involves extraction of color and flavor components from the grape skin .

Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails , also known as tracks . It is also commonly referred to as train transport . In contrast to road transport , where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface , rail vehicles ( rolling stock ) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run . Tracks usually consist of steel rails , installed on ties ( sleepers ) and ballast , on which the rolling stock , usually fitted with metal wheels , moves . Other variations are also possible , such as slab track , where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface .   Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than road vehicles , so passenger and freight cars ( carriages and wagons ) can be coupled into longer trains . The operation is carried out by a railway company , providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities . Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electric power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power , usually by diesel engines . Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system . Railways are a safe land transport system when compared to other forms of transport.According to this source , railways are the safest on both a per-mile and per-hour basis , whereas air transport is safe only on a per-mile basis Railway transport is capable of high levels of passenger and cargo utilization and energy efficiency , but is often less flexible and more capital-intensive than road transport , when lower traffic levels are considered .   The oldest , man-hauled railways date back to the 6th century BC , with Periander , one of the Seven Sages of Greece , credited with its invention . Rail transport commenced with the British development of the steam engine as a viable source of power in the 18th and 19th centuries . Steam locomotives were first developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century . Built by George Stephenson and his son Robert 's company Robert Stephenson and Company , the Locomotion No. 1 is the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail line , the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825 . George also built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives , the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830 . With steam engines , one could construct mainline railways , which were a key component of the Industrial Revolution . Also , railways reduced the costs of shipping , and allowed for fewer lost goods , compared with water transport , which faced occasional sinking of ships . The change from canals to railways allowed for `` national markets '' in which prices varied very little from city to city . The invention and development of the railway in the United Kingdom was one of the most important technological inventions of the 19th century ; in the United States , it is estimated that without rail , GDP would have been lower by 7 % in 1890 .   In the 1880s , electrified trains were introduced , and also the first tramways and rapid transit systems came into being . Starting during the 1940s , the non-electrified railways in most countries had their steam locomotives replaced by diesel-electric locomotives , with the process being almost complete by 2000 . During the 1960s , electrified high-speed railway systems were introduced in Japan and later in some other countries . Other forms of guided ground transport outside the traditional railway definitions , such as monorail or maglev , have been tried but have seen limited use . Following decline after World War II due to competition from cars , rail transport has had a revival in recent decades due to road congestion and rising fuel prices , as well as governments investing in rail as a means of reducing CO2 emissions in the context of concerns about global warming .

Developmental toxicity is any structural or functional alteration , reversible or irreversible , which interferes with homeostasis , normal growth , differentiation , development or behavior , and which is caused by environmental insult ( including drugs , lifestyle factors such as alcohol , diet , and environmental toxic chemicals or physical factors ) . It is the study of adverse effects on the development of the organism resulting from exposure to toxic agents before conception ( either parent ) , during prenatal development , or post-natally until puberty . The substance that causes developmental toxicity from embryonic stage to birth is called teratogens . The effect of the developmental toxicants depends on the type of substance , dose and duration and time of exposure .   Certain Pathogens are also included since the toxins they secrete are known to cause adverse effects on the development of the organism when the mother or fetus is infected . Developmental toxicology is a science studying adverse developmental outcomes . This term has widely replaced the early term for the study of primarily structural congenital abnormalities , teratology , to enable inclusion of a more diverse spectrum of congenital disorders . Typical factors causing developmental toxicity are radiation , infections ( e.g. rubella ) , maternal metabolic imbalances ( e.g. alcoholism , diabetes , folic acid deficiency ) , drugs ( e.g. anticancer drugs , tetracyclines , many hormones , thalidomide ) , and environmental chemicals ( e.g. mercury , lead , dioxins , PBDEs , HBCD , tobacco smoke ) . The first-trimester exposure is considered the most potential for developmental toxicity .   Once fertilization has taken place , the toxicants in the environment can pass through the mother to the developing embryo or fetus across the placental barrier . The fetus is at greatest risk during the first 14th to 60th day of the pregnancy when the major organs are being formed . However , depending on the type of toxicant and amount of exposure , a fetus can be exposed toxicant at any time during pregnancy . For example , exposure to a particular toxicant at one time in the pregnancy may result in organ damage and at another time in the pregnancy could cause death of the fetus and miscarriage . There are a number of chemicals , biological agents ( such as bacteria and viruses ) , and physical agents ( such as radiation ) used in a variety of workplaces that are known to cause developmental disorders . Developmental disorders can include a wide range of physical abnormalities , such as bone or organ deformities , or behavioral and learning problems , such as a mental retardation . Exposures to some chemicals during pregnancy can lead to the development of cancer later in the life of the child and are called transgenerational carcinogens . Exposure to toxicants during the second and the third trimester of a pregnancy can lead to slow fetal grown and result in low birth weight .

Diabetes is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published since 1952 by the American Diabetes Association . It covers research about the physiology and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus including any aspect of laboratory , animal or human research . Emphasis is on investigative reports focusing on areas such as the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications , normal and pathologic pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism , pharmacological mechanisms of drug and hormone action , and biochemical and molecular aspects of normal and abnormal biological processes .   According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 8.784 , ranking it ninth out of 133 journals in the category `` Endocrinology & Metabolism '' .

A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence , of either K or M spectral type . Red dwarfs range in mass from a low of 0.075 to about 0.50 solar mass and have a surface temperature of less than 4,000 K.   Red dwarfs are by far the most common type of star in the Milky Way , at least in the neighborhood of the Sun , but because of their low luminosity , individual red dwarfs can not be easily observed . From Earth , not one is visible to the naked eye . Proxima Centauri , the nearest star to the Sun , is a red dwarf ( Type M5 , apparent magnitude 11.05 ) , as are fifty of the sixty nearest stars .  According to some estimates , red dwarfs make up three-quarters of the stars in the Milky Way .   Stellar models indicate that red dwarfs less than are fully convective . Hence the helium produced by the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen is constantly remixed throughout the star , avoiding its buildup at the core and prolonging the period of fusion . Red dwarfs therefore develop very slowly , maintaining a constant luminosity and spectral type for trillions of years , until their fuel is depleted . Because of the comparatively short age of the universe , no red dwarfs exist at advanced stages of evolution .

Delegitimisation ( also spelled delegitimation ) is literally the withdrawal of legitimacy , usually from some institution such as a state , cultural practice , etc. which may have acquired it explicitly or implicitly , by statute or accepted practice .   A sociopsychological process which undermines or marginalises an entity by presenting facts and/or value judgments which are construed to withdraw legitimacy is generally observed .   A necessary process for the advancement of human culture , it can in some cases be a self-justifying mechanism , with the ultimate goal of justifying harm of an outgroup .   The concept applies to a wide spectrum of social contexts ranging from disputes about political entities to chronic illnesses .


Question: Artificially produced atmospheric pollutants contribute merely a trifling effect on climate change dynamics."

 Skeptical Science: Debunking Myths About Greenhouse Gases
Skeptical Science serves as a resource aiming to debunk common myths surrounding man-made greenhouse gases' impact on climate change. Contrary to assertions claiming minimal effects, overwhelming evidence supports significant contributions made by CO2 and other human-generated emissions to rising temperatures globally. Established principles within physics confirm how increased levels trap heat, enhancing what’s known scientifically as "the enhanced greenhouse effect." Despite arguments suggesting solar variability plays a dominant role instead, multiple studies show correlations align far stronger when considering anthropogenic influences specifically. Satellite measurements corroborate ground-based observations indicating accelerated warming trends since pre-industrial times – directly attributable largely to mankind's activities. Critics often cite historical data gaps; however rigorous methodologies employed across diverse disciplines consistently reveal compelling proof supporting mainstream views held amongst reputable institutions around the globe.

Darts are missile weapons , designed to fly such that a sharp , often weighted point will strike first . They can be distinguished from javelins by fletching ( i.e. , feathers on the tail ) and a shaft that is shorter and/or more flexible , and from arrows by the fact that they are not of the right length to use with a normal bow .   The term has been used to describe an extremely wide variety of projectiles , from heavy spear-like ammunition for siege engines or atlatls to tiny poisoned needles for use in blowguns .

In automatic control , a regulator is a device which has the function of maintaining a designated characteristic . It performs the activity of managing or maintaining a range of values in a machine . The measurable property of a device is managed closely by specified conditions or an advance set value ; or it can be a variable according to a predetermined arrangement scheme . It can be used generally to connote any set of various controls or devices for regulating or controlling items or objects . Ex ) Kyle , Jacob , and Romeaz , and others .   Examples are a voltage regulator ( which can be a transformer whose voltage ratio of transformation can be adjusted , or an electronic circuit that produces a defined voltage ) , a pressure regulator , such as a diving regulator , which maintains its output at a fixed pressure lower than its input , and a fuel regulator ( which controls the supply of fuel ) .   Regulators can be designed to control anything from gases or fluids , to light or electricity . Speed can be regulated by electronic , mechanical , or electro-mechanical means . Such instances include ;  Electronic regulators as used in modern railway sets where the voltage is raised or lowered to control the speed of the engine  Mechanical systems such as valves as used in fluid control systems . Purely mechanical pre-automotive systems included such designs as the Watt centrifugal governor whereas modern systems may have electronic fluid speed sensing components directing solenoids to set the valve to the desired rate .  Complex electro-mechanical speed control systems used to maintain speeds in modern cars ( cruise control ) - often including hydraulic components ,  An aircraft engine 's constant speed unit changes the propellor pitch to maintain engine speed .

Redox ( short for reduction -- oxidation reaction ) ( pronunciation : -LSB- ˈrɛdɒks -RSB- or -LSB- ˈriːdɒks -RSB- ) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed . Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process , two key concepts involved with electron transfer processes . Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed ; in general , redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species . The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized , while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced . It can be explained in simple terms :   Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .  Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .   As an example , during the combustion of wood , oxygen from the air is reduced , gaining electrons from the carbon . Although oxidation reactions are commonly associated with the formation of oxides from oxygen molecules , oxygen is not necessarily included in such reactions , as other chemical species can serve the same function .   The reaction can occur relatively slowly , as in the case of rust , or more quickly , as in the case of fire . There are simple redox processes , such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) or the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane ( CH4 ) , and more complex processes such as the oxidation of glucose ( C6H12O6 ) in the human body .

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .

Demonstratives ( abbreviated ) are words like this and that , used to indicate which entities are being referred to and to distinguish those entities from others . They are typically deictic , their meaning depending on a particular frame of its reference . Demonstratives are often used in spatial deixis ( using the context of the physical surroundings of the speaker and sometimes the listener ) , but also in intra-discourse reference - so called `` discourse deixis '' ( including abstract concepts ) or  anaphora , where the meaning is dependent on something other than the relative physical location of the speaker , for example whether something is currently being said or was said earlier .   Demonstrative constructions include demonstrative adjectives or demonstrative determiners , which qualify nouns ( as in Put that coat on ) ; and demonstrative pronouns , which stand independently ( as in Put that on ) . The demonstratives in English are this , that , these , those , and the archaic yon and yonder , along with this one or that one as substitutes for the pronoun use of this or that .

Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s , which gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building . It is characterized by an absence of harmony , continuity , or symmetry . Its name comes from the idea of `` Deconstruction '' , a form of semiotic analysis developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida . Architects whose work is often described as deconstructionism ( though in many cases the architects themselves reject the label ) include Peter Eisenman , Frank Gehry , Zaha Hadid , Rem Koolhaas , Daniel Libeskind , Bernard Tschumi , and Coop Himmelb ( l ) au .   Besides fragmentation , Deconstructivism often manipulates the structure 's surface skin and creates by non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture . The finished visual appearance is characterized by unpredictability and controlled chaos .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .

Diamond clarity is a quality of diamonds relating to the existence and visual appearance of internal characteristics of a diamond called inclusions , and surface defects called blemishes . Clarity is one of the four Cs of diamond grading , the others being carat , color , and cut . Inclusions may be crystals of a foreign material or another diamond crystal , or structural imperfections such as tiny cracks that can appear whitish or cloudy . The number , size , color , relative location , orientation , and visibility of inclusions can all affect the relative clarity of a diamond . A clarity grade is assigned based on the overall appearance of the stone under ten times magnification .   Most inclusions present in gem-quality diamonds do not affect the diamonds ' performance or structural integrity and are not visible to the naked eyes . However , large clouds can affect a diamond 's ability to transmit and scatter light . Large cracks close to or breaking the surface may reduce a diamond 's resistance to fracture .   Diamonds with higher clarity grades are more valued , with the exceedingly rare Flawless graded diamond fetching the highest price . Minor inclusions or blemishes are useful , as they can be used as unique identifying marks analogous to fingerprints . In addition , as synthetic diamond technology improves and distinguishing between natural and synthetic diamonds becomes more difficult , inclusions or blemishes can be used as proof of natural origin .

A lake pigment is a pigment manufactured by precipitating a dye with an inert binder , or `` mordant '' , usually a metallic salt . Unlike vermilion , ultramarine , and other pigments made from ground minerals , lake pigments are organic . Manufacturers and suppliers to artists and industry frequently omit the lake designation in the name . Many lake pigments are fugitive because the dyes involved are not lightfast . Red lakes were particularly important in Renaissance and Baroque paintings ; they were often used as translucent glazes to portray the colors of rich fabrics and draperies .

A deed poll ( plural : deeds poll ) is a legal document binding only to a single person or several persons acting jointly to express an active intention . It is , strictly speaking , not a contract because it binds only one party and expresses an intention instead of a promise .
