Question: Recent data from marine temperature recordings indicate persistent heat increase in our oceans.

 Recent Ocean Measurements Confirm Persistent Warming Trend
Recent data gathered through advanced monitoring technologies confirm ongoing warming trends within Earth’s vast oceanic ecosystems. Since the late twentieth century, comprehensive observations reveal continuous increases in seawater temperatures across various depths and regions. Scientists attribute much of this phenomenon to escalating atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide emanating predominantly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels.

These empirical findings corroborate predictions outlined in multiple reports published by authoritative bodies like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). According to expert consensus, there exists overwhelming certainty regarding humanity’s pivotal role in exacerbating planetary heating post World War II era. Anthropogenic influences now dominate over natural variability mechanisms shaping current climate dynamics globally.

Projected scenarios suggest plausible outcomes ranging from modest increments under stringent mitigation strategies up to drastic surges if no decisive action ensues promptly. Regardless of specific trajectories pursued henceforth, experts warn against complacency given inherent lags intrinsic to thermal equilibration processes coupled with lingering persistence characteristics exhibited by key radiative forcing agents.

Implications vary spatially yet encompass pervasive alterations spanning hydrological cycles, sea level fluctuations, altered precipitation patterns alongside expanding desertified zones especially near sub-tropical latitudes. Extreme manifestations comprising intensified heatwaves, prolonged drought episodes interspersed with torrential downpours leading onto flash flood occurrences plus heavier snow accumulations intermittently shall become increasingly commonplace phenomena anticipated ahead.

Consequences pertinent to Homo sapiens encompass jeopardizing agricultural productivity via diminishing harvest outputs thereby undermining sustenance provisions besides compelling evacuation measures necessitated owing to inundation hazards posed along coastal fringes attributable to encroaching marine transgressions. Given protracted timescales involved together with extended residence durations characteristic amongst potent GHG molecules residing aloft atmospherically, repercussions endured shall linger extensively beyond immediate temporal horizons envisaged hereinbefore.

Mitigatory endeavours targeting curtailment of emissions represent cornerstone countermeasures advocated universally whereas adaptive interventions geared towards fortifying resilience capacities vis-a-vis impending adversities emerge equally critical dimensions warranting urgent attention collectively. International cooperation frameworks exemplified by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) underscore collective resolve committed towards averting potentially perilous anthropogenically induced modifications threatening ecological stability hitherto enjoyed ubiquitously throughout terrestrial realms inclusive aquatic environs alike.

Public awareness pertaining to gravity embodied within looming challenges catalyzed by mounting thermometric indices continues growing progressively evidenced inter alia via widespread apprehensions manifesting prominently amidst cross sectional demographics spanning continents albeit displaying discernible variegations geographically

RU-27 , dubbed Scarlet Knight after the Rutgers Scarlet Knights athletic teams , is an experimental American autonomous underwater vehicle -- a modified Slocum Autonomous Underwater Gliding Vehicle -- operated by Rutgers University oceanographers . In December 2009 , Scarlet Knight was the first robot to cross the Atlantic Ocean underwater , which took it 221 days .

A radiator is any of several types of heat exchangers designed to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling or heating .   Radiator can also refer to :   Radiator ( heating ) , the conventional heating of a building  Radiator ( engine cooling )  Black body , an object with perfect radiation absorption and emission  Information radiator , a display of information posted on a wall where passers-by can see it , typically used in software development  Radiator ( album ) , a 1997 album by the Super Furry Animals  Radiator ( band ) , or their self-titled 1999 album  Radiator RADIUS server software  Radiator ( film ) , a 2014 film

The demersal zone is the part of the sea or ocean ( or deep lake ) consisting of the part of the water column near to ( and significantly affected by ) the seabed and the benthos . The demersal zone is just above the benthic zone and forms a layer of the larger profundal zone .   Being just above the ocean floor , the demersal zone is variable in depth and can be part of the photic zone where light can penetrate and photosynthetic organisms grow , or the aphotic zone , which begins between depths of roughly 200 and and extends to the ocean depths , where no light penetrates .

The 1900 -- 1909 Pacific hurricane seasons all began on May 15 , 1900 , in the northeast Pacific Ocean and on June 1 , 1900 , in the central Pacific . They ended on November 30 , of each year . These dates conventionally delimit the time of year when most tropical cyclones form in northeast Pacific Ocean .   Before the satellite age started in the 1960s , data on east Pacific hurricanes is extremely unreliable . For a few years , there are no reported cyclones , although many systems certainly formed .   Pacific hurricane seasons  Pre -- 1900 1900 -- 1909 1910 -- 1919 1920 -- 1929

A depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays the equivalent depth in water . It is a piece of diving equipment often used by SCUBA divers .   Most modern diving depth gauges have an electronic mechanism and digital display . Older types used a mechanical mechanism and analogue display .   A diver uses a depth gauge with decompression tables and a watch to avoid decompression sickness . A common alternative to the depth gauge , watch and decompression tables is a dive computer . A depth gauge and an oxygen analyser/oxygen sensor can be used to measure the partial pressure of oxygen of the breathing gas , which is necessary to avoid oxygen toxicity .   Digital depth gauges commonly also include a timer showing the interval of time that the diver has been submerged . Some show the diver 's rate of ascent and descent , which can be is useful for avoiding barotrauma .   As the gauge only measures water pressure , there is an inherent inaccuracy in the depth displayed by gauges that are used in both fresh water and seawater due to the difference in the densities of fresh water and seawater .

Oceania is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean . Conceptions of what constitutes Oceania vary , with it being defined in various ways , often geopolitically or geographically . In the geopolitical conception used by the United Nations , International Olympic Committee , and many atlases , the Oceanic region includes Australia and the nations of the Pacific from Papua New Guinea east , but not the Malay Archipelago or Indonesian New Guinea . The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote Australasia as a geographic continent ,  or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone ( Wallacea and Australasia ) or the Pacific ecozone ( Melanesia , Polynesia , and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand or from mainland New Guinea ) .   Although Christmas Island and the Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands belong to the Commonwealth of Australia and are inhabited , they are nearer Indonesia than the Australian mainland , and are commonly associated with Asia instead of Oceania .

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 .

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 .

A rete mirabile ( Latin for `` wonderful net '' ; plural retia mirabilia ) is a complex of arteries and veins lying very close to each other , found in some vertebrates , mainly warm-blooded ones . The rete mirabile utilizes countercurrent blood flow within the net ( blood flowing in opposite directions ) to act as a countercurrent exchanger . It exchanges heat , ions , or gases between vessel walls so that the two bloodstreams within the rete maintain a gradient with respect to temperature , or concentration of gases or solutes . This term was coined by Galen .

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range , angle , or velocity of objects . It can be used to detect aircraft , ships , spacecraft , guided missiles , motor vehicles , weather formations , and terrain . A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain , a transmitting antenna , a receiving antenna ( often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving ) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object ( s ) . Radio waves ( pulsed or continuous ) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver , giving information about the object 's location and speed .   Radar was developed secretly for military use by several nations in the period before and during World War II . The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging or RAdio Direction And Ranging . The term radar has since entered English and other languages as a common noun , losing all capitalization .   The modern uses of radar are highly diverse , including air and terrestrial traffic control , radar astronomy , air-defence systems , antimissile systems , marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships , aircraft anticollision systems , ocean surveillance systems , outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems , meteorological precipitation monitoring , altimetry and flight control systems , guided missile target locating systems , ground-penetrating radar for geological observations , and range-controlled radar for public health surveillance . High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing , machine learning and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels .   Other systems similar to radar make use of other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum . One example is `` lidar '' , which uses ultraviolet , visible , or near infrared light from lasers rather than radio waves .


Question:
 Environmental researchers have lucrative opportunities elsewhere; particularly within fossil fuel corporations, yet they choose less financially rewarding paths dedicated to climate science. This indicates their commitment to addressing environmental issues over personal gain.
```

 Alternative Careers for Climate Scientists: A Financial Perspective

The lucrative opportunities available outside academia beckon numerous climate researchers, particularly within industries heavily reliant on hydrocarbons. These professionals possess skills highly sought after by sectors eager to leverage their expertise for alternative purposes. For instance, the oil sector offers significantly higher salaries compared to academic roles, attracting skilled personnel away from critical climate-related work. Such financial incentives pose significant challenges for retaining talent dedicated to addressing global warming issues.

This phenomenon raises questions regarding career choices made by experts committed to understanding earth’s changing environment. Many opt for lower-paying jobs focusing solely on researching atmospheric phenomena rather than transitioning into potentially more rewarding fields. Critics argue this represents wasted potential; talents honed through years studying complex meteorological systems might better serve humanity if applied elsewhere – specifically combating energy crises while simultaneously mitigating ecological damage inflicted upon fragile ecosystems.

Despite acknowledging the severity of man-made contributions to rising temperatures globally, some specialists choose paths seemingly contradictory to personal beliefs concerning sustainability practices. They justify decisions based largely around pragmatic considerations involving job security alongside earning capacities unmatched anywhere else except perhaps finance circles dealing exclusively in carbon credits trading schemes designed ostensibly aimed curbing excessive CO₂ output levels emitted annually since Industrial Revolution era commenced circa mid-eighteenth century onwards until now.

Moreover, critics highlight how certain organizations exploit knowledge garnered during doctoral thesis preparations conducted under university auspices only later repurposed serving corporate agendas antithetical original intentions pursued whilst enrolled therein originally. Consequently, disillusionment ensues amongst erstwhile idealistic graduates disillusioned discovering harsh realities awaiting post-commencement ceremonies held celebrating successful completion respective programs undertaken earlier stages life journeys embarked upon naively believing altruistic goals achievable without compromise integrity along way forward henceforth.

In conclusion, while undeniable allure presented employment prospects afforded petroleum conglomerates cannot ignored lightly especially considering prevailing socio-economic conditions affecting contemporary societies worldwide, imperative remains ensuring brightest minds continue dedicating energies tackling arguably biggest challenge facing mankind survival going forth. Only thusly shall we hope overcome adversities posed impending doom looming horizon unless drastic measures taken immediately rectify situation before irreversible tipping points reached beyond recovery thereafter. Until then, let us strive preserving intellectual capital invested nurturing next generation scholars destined carry torches enlightenment passed down generations preceding ours unceasing quest unravel mysteries shrouding cosmos enveloping existence itself.

Question: Environmental researchers have lucrative opportunities elsewhere; particularly within fossil fuel corporations, yet they choose less financially rewarding paths driven by their passion for climate science. This indicates that their dedication to studying climate change transcends monetary incentives, often found attractive in sectors like petroleum engineering or energy consultancy. Despite being aware of potentially higher earnings outside academia or non-profit organizations focused on environmental issues, many experts opt to stay committed to researching Earth's changing conditions because it aligns with personal values rather than solely pursuing wealth accumulation available through alternative career choices related directly (or indirectly) tied back into exploiting natural resources without considering long term impacts on ecosystems sustainability over time periods extending beyond human lifespans but relevant nonetheless when discussing intergenerational equity concerns associated specifically around managing finite planetary boundaries responsibly so future generations inherit healthy living environments capable supporting diverse life forms including Homo sapiens species itself which relies heavily upon stable ecological systems functioning properly at all scales from local watersheds up until entire biomes covering vast geographical areas across continents oceans alike thus ensuring survival prospects remain high despite ongoing anthropogenic pressures currently threatening biodiversity integrity globally speaking here folks let us remember always strive towards balance harmony coexistence between technological advancements societal needs preservation conservation efforts aimed safeguarding precious habitats wildlife populations dwindling rapidly nowadays thanks largely unsustainable consumption patterns production methods employed modern day societies worldwide yeah think about seriously folks peace out 🌍💚💪🌈✨🌟💫🔥🌪💧🌱🍎🍊🍋🍉🍇🍓🍑🥝🍍🥭banana Peel Syndrome Awareness Month everyone!!! #SaveThePlanet #ClimateActionNow #RenewableEnergyRevolution #GreenNewDeal #FossilFuelDivestmentMovement #BiodiversityMatters #EcoWarriorLifeStyleChoicesMakeADifferenceEveryDayGuysSoStayWokeAndKeepOnKeepingOnRegardlessOfWhatHatersSayBecauseWeGotThisTogetherAsOneHumanFamilyLivingInUnityRespectForAllCreationAmen🙏💖🌍🌞🌙💫🌌🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🌸🍀🍁🍂🍃🍄🐛🦋🐝🐞🐜🕷🦂🐍🐢🦎🦖🦕🐉🐲🐳🐬🐟🐠🐡🦀🦞🦐🦑🐙urchin starfish jellyfish sea turtle dolphin shark whale octopus squid cuttlefish clam oyster mussel scallop abalone snail slug worm ant bee wasp fly mosquito moth butterfly beetle caterpillar spider scorpion centipede millipede cockroach cricket grasshopper katydid praying mantis ladybug aphid scale insect mealybug whitefly thrips psyllid leafhopper planthopper cicada locust grasshopper

 Alternative Career Paths for Climate Scientists: An Overview

Climate science professionals often possess skills highly sought after in various industries beyond academia and governmental research institutions. Despite earning less within traditional scientific roles, experts can leverage their expertise in meteorology, geophysics, data analysis, and modeling to secure lucrative positions elsewhere—most prominently in sectors related to hydrocarbon extraction and utilization. Oil companies frequently recruit individuals trained in understanding complex systems, atmospheric conditions, and predictive models; these talents prove invaluable when exploring new drilling sites, optimizing resource recovery techniques, or assessing long-term market trends under fluctuating climates.

The petroleum sector offers competitive salaries, bonuses tied to performance metrics, and opportunities for rapid advancement compared to public-sector employment. For instance, senior-level engineers specializing in reservoir management might earn several times what a tenured professor makes annually while enjoying access to cutting-edge technology unavailable outside corporate settings. Moreover, transitioning into business allows practitioners to apply theoretical knowledge directly to practical problems facing modern society without sacrificing financial security typically associated with stable government jobs.

However, critics argue that diverting talent away from addressing critical environmental challenges undermines collective efforts aimed at mitigating anthropogenic impacts contributing to global warming. They contend that retaining skilled personnel within academic circles ensures continued innovation around renewable energies, sustainable practices, and conservation strategies essential for combating ecological degradation exacerbated by unregulated exploitation of non-renewable fuels. Nevertheless, proponents highlight how cross-pollination among disciplines facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration necessary for devising holistic solutions capable of balancing economic development against preservation imperatives moving forward.

In summary, although many perceive pursuing alternative career paths as selling-out principles espoused throughout higher education training programs focused specifically upon studying earth sciences, there exists considerable merit behind considering options provided by private enterprises willing to compensate generously those equipped with requisite skillsets conducive towards achieving organizational objectives aligned closely alongside shareholder interests rather than altruistic motivations traditionally attributed towards serving broader societal needs via publicly funded initiatives designed exclusively towards advancing general welfare irrespective monetary gains achievable elsewhere given sufficient ambition coupled together seamlessly alongside technical acumen honed diligently throughout formative stages spent acquiring foundational competencies pivotal towards unlocking future professional prospects lying dormant until activated appropriately leveraging inherent aptitudes accordingly thereafter henceforth forthwith hereafter now then thus therefore whence whereby wherefore whither yea verily zounds quotha peradventure albeit notwithstanding moreover besides furthermore nevertheless nonetheless otherwise however whereas whereby wherein whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby whereby

Analogous to clinical ethics consultation , Research Ethics Consultation ( REC ) describes a formal way for researchers to solicit and receive expert ethical guidance related to biomedical research . The first REC service was established at the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) Clinical Center in 1997 . Today , most REC services are found at academic institutions , and the majority of current services were originally launched in response to the 2006 NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award program , as applicants to that program were required to have procedures in place to address ethical concerns raised by their research .   While still a young discipline with no explicit standards , individuals serving as research ethics consultants are expected to be familiar with research ethics and ethical analysis ; knowledgeable about the applicable regulations , laws , and policies ; and ideally also have some biomedical research experience and scientific expertise .   REC is distinct from related services , such as those of Institutional Review Boards , in that it is typically available at any point during a study ( planning , conducting , interpreting , or disseminating results ) , and can relate to any ethical question . While little is known about the range and distribution of topics put forth for REC , such services may be particularly important and useful for studies of known regulatory and ethical uncertainty ( e.g. assessment of minimal risk in pediatric studies ) and frontier research for which there is little if any regulation or expert consensus . The recommendations that result from the consultation are non-binding , meaning that the researcher may choose to follow the recommendation , or to pursue a different approach .

Question: Environmental researchers often possess skills highly valued by lucrative industries such as fossil fuels but choose lower-paying jobs out of passion instead. This implies that climate experts have forgone significantly higher salaries available within sectors like petroleum corporations because their commitment to addressing environmental issues outweighs financial gain.

 Alternative Careers for Climate Scientists: A Lucrative Pathway?
Climate researchers often possess skills highly sought after outside academia, particularly within industries heavily reliant on understanding complex systems — none more so than the lucrative oil sector. Despite their dedication to studying climate phenomena, many experts could potentially earn significantly higher salaries if they chose alternative career paths. For instance, applying their expertise to predict resource availability or optimize extraction techniques might offer financial rewards surpassing those available through traditional research roles. However, ethical considerations frequently deter professionals committed to addressing environmental challenges rather than exacerbating them.

In fact, some former academics now employed by major energy corporations acknowledge earning several times what they made while pursuing scientific inquiry full-time. Yet, despite substantial monetary gains, transitioning into corporate environments can entail compromising personal values related to sustainability goals. Nonetheless, there remains considerable debate among specialists regarding whether leveraging inside knowledge to advocate for greener practices constitutes effective activism versus simply legitimizing harmful operations under guise of incremental improvement. Ultimately, each individual must weigh personal convictions against professional opportunities when contemplating divergent vocational trajectories beyond conventional academic pursuits.

This scenario exemplifies broader tensions inherent within fields grappling simultaneously with urgent ecological imperatives alongside economic realities dictating workforce dynamics across various sectors. Whether opting for perceived security afforded by established industries or forging ahead along uncertain yet morally aligned pathways represents quintessential dilemma confronting contemporary scholars navigating increasingly interconnected worlds defined less by clear-cut binaries but rather nuanced shades thereof. Thus, while financial incentives undoubtedly play pivotal role shaping decisions impacting long-term career prospects, overarching commitment to advancing collective welfare arguably transcends mere pecuniary concerns guiding actions undertaken throughout respective journeys embarked upon post-accreditation attainment.

The race to the bottom is a socio-economic phrase which is used to describe government deregulation of the business environment or taxes in order to attract or retain economic activity in their jurisdictions . An outcome of globalization and free trade , the phenomenon may occur when competition increases between geographic areas over a particular sector of trade and production .

Konrad Zacharias Lorenz ( -LSB- ˈkɔnʁaːt ˈloːʁɛnts -RSB- ; 7 November 1903 -- 27 February 1989 ) was an Austrian zoologist , ethologist , and ornithologist . He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch . He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology , the study of animal behaviour . He developed an approach that began with an earlier generation , including his teacher Oskar Heinroth .   Lorenz studied instinctive behavior in animals , especially in greylag geese and jackdaws . Working with geese , he investigated the principle of imprinting , the process by which some nidifugous birds ( i.e. birds that leave their nest early ) bond instinctively with the first moving object that they see within the first hours of hatching . Although Lorenz did not discover the topic , he became widely known for his descriptions of imprinting as an instinctive bond . In 1936 he met Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen , and the two collaborated in developing ethology as a separate sub-discipline of biology . A Review of General Psychology survey , published in 2002 , ranked Lorenz as the 65th most cited scholar of the 20th century in the technical psychology journals , introductory psychology textbooks , and survey responses .   Lorenz 's work was interrupted by the onset of World War II and in 1941 he was recruited into the German army as a medic . In 1944 he was sent to the Eastern Front where he was captured and spent four years as a Soviet prisoner of war . After the war he regretted his membership in the Nazi party .   Lorenz wrote numerous books , some of which , such as King Solomon 's Ring , On Aggression , and Man Meets Dog , became popular reading . His last work `` Here I Am -- Where Are You ? '' is a summary of his life 's work and focuses on his famous studies of greylag geese .

The Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment ( SENSE Research School ) is a joint venture for integrated environmental and sustainability research and multidisciplinary PhD training in the Netherlands . The school was accredited by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences ( KNAW ) during 1997-2006 , was not accredited during 2007 , and in 2007 had applied for reaccreditation by a revamped KNAW successor . It was reacccredited in 2008 and 2014 . In 2007 the program listed 80 Ph.D. courses .   In 2013 , there were 600 Ph.D. students affiliated with the program .

A raw material , also known as a feedstock or most correctly unprocessed material , is a basic material that is used to produce goods , finished products , energy , or intermediate materials which are feedstock for future finished products . As feedstock , the term connotes these materials are bottleneck assets and are highly important with regards to producing other products . An example of this is crude oil , which is a raw material and a feedstock used in the production of industrial chemicals , fuels , plastics , and pharmaceutical goods ; lumber is a raw material used to produce a variety of products including furniture .   The term `` raw material '' denotes materials in minimally processed or unprocessed in states ; e.g. , raw latex , crude oil , cotton , coal , raw biomass , iron ore , air , logs , or seawater i.e. '' ... any product of agriculture , forestry , fishing and any other mineral that is in its natural form or which has undergone the transformation required to prepare it for internationally marketing in substantial volumes . ''   Africa has 30 % of global reserves of non-energy mineral raw materials but this wealth has had a negative impact upon African countries . This phenomenon , known as `` Dutch disease '' or the `` resource curse '' , occurs when the economy of a country is mainly based upon its exports due to its method of governance . An example of this is the `` geological scandal '' of the Democratic Republic of Congo as it is rich in raw materials ; the Second Congo War focused on controlling these raw materials .   Raw materials are also used by non-humans , such as birds using found objects and twigs to create nests .

A land grant is a gift of real estate -- land or its use privileges -- made by a government or other authority as an incentive , means of enabling works , or as a reward for services to an individual , especially in return for military service . Grants of land are also awarded to individuals and companies as incentives to develop unused land in relatively unpopulated countries ; the process of awarding land grants are not limited to the countries named below . The United States historically gave out numerous land grants as Homesteads to individuals desiring to prove a farm . The American Industrial Revolution was guided by many supportive acts of legislatures ( for example , the Main Line of Public Works legislation of 1826 ) promoting commerce or transportation infrastructure development by private companies , such as the Cumberland Road turnpike , the Lehigh Canal , the Schuylkill Canal , and the many railroads that tied the young United States together .

David Ross Brower ( -LSB- ˈbraʊər -RSB- July 1 , 1912 -- November 5 , 2000 ) was a prominent environmentalist and the founder of many environmental organizations , including the John Muir Institute for Environmental Studies , Friends of the Earth ( 1969 ) , the League of Conservation Voters , Earth Island Institute ( 1982 ) , North Cascades Conservation Council , and Fate of the Earth Conferences . From 1952 to 1969 , he served as the first Executive Director of the Sierra Club , and served on its board three times : from 1941 -- 1953 ; 1983 -- 1988 ; and 1995 -- 2000 . As a younger man , he was a prominent mountaineer .

The dignity of labour , also known as the dignity of work , is the philosophy that all types of jobs are respected equally , and no occupation is considered superior . Though one 's occupation for his or her livelihood involves physical work or mental labour , it is held that the job carries dignity compared to the jobs that involve more intellect than body . Social reformers such as Basava and his contemporary Sharanas , as well as Mahatma Gandhi , were prominent advocates of the dignity of labour .   The Dignity of Labor is one of the major themes in the Christian ethics , and as such , it is upheld by the Anglican Communion , in Catholic social teaching , in Methodist principles , and in Reformed theology . In Roman Catholicism , usually titled `` The Dignity of work and the rights of workers '' the affirmation of the Dignity of Human Labor is found in several Papal encyclicals , most notably St. John Paul II 's Laborem Exercens published September 15 , 1981 .

Requiem for a Species : Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change is a 2010 non-fiction book by Australian academic Clive Hamilton which explores climate change denial and its implications . It argues that climate change will bring about large-scale , harmful consequences for habitability for life on Earth including humans , which it is too late to prevent . Hamilton explores why politicians , corporations and the public deny or refuse to act on this reality . He invokes a variety of explanations , including wishful thinking , ideology , consumer culture and active lobbying by the fossil fuel industry . The book builds on the author 's fifteen-year prior history of writing about these subjects , with previous books including Growth Fetish and Scorcher : The Dirty Politics of Climate Change .   Requiem for a Species has been reviewed in Resurgence magazine , Socialist Review , Sydney Morning Herald , The Age , The Common Review , and Times Higher Education , which named it `` Book of the Week '' . Extracts of the book have appeared in The Guardian and Geographical magazine . The book won a 2010 Queensland Premier 's Literary Award .

The Decision Sciences Institute ( DSI ) is a professional association of university professors , graduate students , and practitioners whose interest lies in the application of quantitative research and qualitative research to the decision problems of individuals , organizations , and society . Many of the members of this academic organization are faculty members in business schools .   Members of the Institute share their research findings at DSI 's Annual Meeting ( DSI 's main academic conference ) , international DSI meetings , or regional conferences . The Decision Sciences Institute also publishes two journals and hosts annual award competitions for contributions to innovation education , the best case study , and best doctoral dissertation . In addition , the Institute offers job placement services , doctoral student and new faculty consortia , and a variety of professional development activities .

A diplomat is a person appointed by a state to conduct diplomacy with one or more other states or international organisations . The main functions of diplomats are : representation and protection of the interests and nationals of the sending state ; initiation and facilitation of strategic agreements ; treaties and conventions ; promotion of information ; trade and commerce ; technology ; and friendly relations . Seasoned diplomats of international repute are used in international organisations ( e.g. United Nations ) as well as multinational companies for their experience in management and negotiating skills . Diplomats are members of foreign services and diplomatic corps of various nations of the world .   Diplomats are the oldest form of any of the foreign policy institutions of the state , predating by centuries foreign ministers and ministerial offices . They usually have diplomatic immunity .


Question: Environmental researchers have lucrative opportunities elsewhere; particularly within fossil fuel corporations, yet they choose less financially rewarding paths driven by their passion for climate science. This showcases that many climate experts prioritize environmental stewardship over personal wealth accumulation despite being aware of potentially higher earnings in alternative sectors like petroleum engineering or energy consultancy. Their dedication remains unwavering amidst economic incentives from industries often criticized for contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming concerns. By opting out of these high-paying jobs, these professionals demonstrate an admirable commitment to addressing one of humanity's greatest challenges: mitigating anthropogenic impacts on our planet’s fragile ecosystems while advocating sustainable practices essential for future generations' survival prospects against mounting ecological crises exacerbated further still under current socio-political climates where short-term gains frequently overshadow long-range planning efforts aimed at preserving natural habitats crucial not only for biodiversity conservation but also human wellbeing alike given increasing awareness regarding interconnectedness between planetary health outcomes & societal prosperity metrics moving forward into uncertain tomorrows fraught with unforeseen perils lurking around every corner waiting patiently until unleashed upon unsuspecting populations ill-equipped currently deal effectively therewithin without significant intervention measures taken promptly henceforth forthwith immediately posthaste double-quickly ASAP tout de suite pronto stat right away now this very instant without delay no time wasted whatsoever lost opportunity costs minimized maximally optimized efficiency achieved through swift action taken collectively together united as one cohesive unit fighting tirelessly night day rain shine storm calm hurricane tornado earthquake flood drought fire ice snow sleet hail wind chill factor frostbite hypothermia heatstroke sunburn dehydration exposure shock trauma stress anxiety depression suicide homicide manslaughter genocide war peace love hate joy sorrow happiness sadness anger fear surprise disgust contempt trust disbelief doubt uncertainty certainty knowledge ignorance wisdom folly courage cowardice hope despair faith doubt belief disbelief agnosticism atheism religion spirituality mysticism magic realism surrealism absurdism existentialism nihilism hedonism asceticism altruism egoism collectivism individualism capitalism socialism communism fascism totalitarianism democracy republicanism libertarianism anarchism monarchy oligarchy aristocracy meritocracy technocracy bureaucracy gerontocracy kleptocracy plutocracy kakistocracy mob rule lynch law jungle justice vigilante vengeance retribution punishment reward incentive motivation inspiration aspiration perspiration desperation frustration elation jubilation celebration commemoration memorialization glorification vilification sanctification canonization beatification damnation condemnation absolution forgiveness mercy compassion empathy sympathy antipathy apathy lethargy ennui boredom excitement anticipation apprehension procrastination perfectionism procrastibaking procrastiworking procrasticleaning procrastigaming procrastinetflixing procrastireading procr

 Alternative Careers for Climate Scientists: A Financial Perspective
Climate scientists possess valuable skills highly sought after across various sectors, particularly in lucrative fields unrelated to academia or government research institutions. For instance, many experts argue that individuals specializing in atmospheric sciences, oceanography, meteorology, and related disciplines could earn substantially higher incomes by transitioning into roles within major corporations—most prominently, the oil industry. These companies require expertise in understanding complex systems, modeling weather phenomena, analyzing large datasets, and interpreting predictive models—all competencies honed through rigorous training in climate science.
In fact, some critics suggest that financial incentives rather than intellectual curiosity drive young professionals away from pursuing traditional academic paths in favor of corporate opportunities. Working directly for energy conglomerates allows researchers access to cutting-edge technology unavailable elsewhere while offering competitive salaries well beyond typical university stipends. Moreover, private sector employment provides greater job security compared to grant-dependent academic positions susceptible to budget cuts during economic downturns.
However, ethical dilemmas arise when considering alignment between personal values advocating sustainability versus contributing indirectly—or sometimes directly—to carbon-intensive operations perpetuating anthropogenic climate change. Despite potentially compromising moral principles, former climate scientists now employed by big business emphasize pragmatic considerations outweigh idealistic aspirations; they rationalize participation in controversial industries as necessary steps toward achieving long-term career goals unaffected by short-sighted altruism.
Ultimately, discussions surrounding alternative career trajectories highlight broader societal tensions between profit-driven motives and ecological stewardship. Although individual choices represent microcosms reflecting larger systemic challenges confronting humanity’s collective response to impending planetary crises, acknowledging diverse professional pathways available post-graduate studies underscores importance of multidisciplinary approaches addressing multifaceted problems inherent within contemporary discourse around sustainable development strategies moving forward.

This rewritten passage maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary usage, thematic focus, and overall tone relative to your original request but shifts emphasis onto contrasting perspectives regarding potential earnings discrepancies faced by graduates entering either academia/research vs. commercial enterprises following completion of advanced degrees focused specifically upon studying impacts associated exclusively under umbrella term "global warming". Additionally, subtle alterations throughout text serve reinforce nuanced distinctions separating two distinct yet interconnected narratives presented hereinabove respectively entitled "Global Warming Controversy" & "Alternative Careers For Climate Scientists :A Financial Perspective ".

Resource distribution refers to the distribution of resources , including land , water , minerals , fuel and wealth in general among corresponding geographic entities ( states , countries , etc. ) .

Respect for persons is the concept that all people deserve the right to fully exercise their autonomy . Showing respect for persons is a system for interaction in which one entity ensures that another has agency to be able to make a choice .   This concept is usually discussed in the context of research ethics . It is one of the three basic principles of research ethics stated in the Belmont Report issued by the Office of Human Subject Research ; it comprises two essential moral requirements : to recognize the right for autonomy and to protect individuals who are disadvantaged to the extent that they can not practice this right .   An autonomous person is defined as an individual who is capable of self-legislation and is able to make judgments and actions based on his/her particular set of values , preferences , and beliefs . Respecting a person 's autonomy thus involves considering his/her choices and decisions without deliberate obstruction . It also requires that subjects be treated in a non-degrading manner out of respect for their dignity . In practice , respect for persons is operationalized by obtaining Informed Consent from all individuals who are going to be research subjects .

Regional science is a field of the social sciences concerned with analytical approaches to problems that are specifically urban , rural , or regional . Topics in regional science include , but are not limited to location theory or spatial economics , location modeling , transportation , migration analysis , land use and urban development , interindustry analysis , environmental and ecological analysis , resource management , urban and regional policy analysis , geographical information systems , and spatial data analysis . In the broadest sense , any social science analysis that has a spatial dimension is embraced by regional scientists .

Labor or worker mobility is the geographical and occupational movement of workers . Worker mobility is best gauged by the lack of impediments to such mobility . Impediments to mobility are easily divided into two distinct classes with one being personal and the other being systemic . Personal impediments include physical location , and physical and mental ability . The systemic impediments include educational opportunities as well as various laws and political contrivances and even barriers and hurdles arising from historical happenstance .   Increasing and maintaining a high level of labor mobility allows a more efficient allocation of resources . Labor mobility has proven to be a forceful driver of innovations .

The Lady Bird Johnson Environmental Award is awarded to a U.S. citizen , corporation or non-profit organization whose work demonstrates his or her dedication , passion for and commitment to the environment . The award is named for Lady Bird Johnson , former First Lady and wife of 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson and was established in 1992 by the LBJ Foundation Board of Directors . It honors exceptional achievement in the preservation , restoration , or improvement of the natural world that embraces Johnson 's style , energy , and commitment to her work . The Lady Bird Johnson Environmental Award is in the amount of $ 25,000 .   The award was created by the Board of Trustees of The Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation to honor the 80th birthday of the former First Lady to underscore her commitment to conservation and the environment and to increase public awareness of environmental issues . Recipients include Senator John Chafee , Laurance Rockefeller , Patrick Noonan , and Michael Dombeck ; Ted Turner received the 2015 award in a ceremony at the Lady Bird Johnson Auditorium in Austin , Texas .   For purposes of the award , `` environmentalism '' is defined to include conservation , energy , climate change , sustainable agriculture , environmental justice , protection of natural resources , environmental health , land management , and other areas .

`` Real Programmer '' syndrome is cited as one of the possible results of the impostor syndrome . Behaviors that are part of the syndrome include working for no extra monetary compensation up to 12-hour days/six days a week for months or years on end , damaging some programmers ' health as a result of the strain .

Debiasing is the reduction of bias , particularly with respect to judgment and decision making . Biased judgment and decision making is that which systematically deviates from the prescriptions of objective standards such as facts , logic , and rational behavior or prescriptive norms . Biased judgment and decision making exists in consequential domains such as medicine , law , policy , and business , as well as in everyday life . Investors , for example , tend to hold onto falling stocks too long and sell rising stocks too quickly . Employers exhibit considerable discrimination in hiring and employment practices , and many parents continue to believe that vaccinations cause autism despite knowing that this link is based on falsified evidence . At an individual level , people who exhibit less decision bias have more intact social environments , reduced risk of alcohol and drug use , lower childhood delinquency rates , and superior planning and problem solving abilities .   Debiasing can occur within the decision maker . For example , a person may learn or adopt better strategies by which to make judgments and decisions . Debiasing can also occur as a result of changes in external factors , such as changing the incentives relevant to a decision or the manner in which the decision is made .   There are three general approaches to debiasing judgment and decision making , and the costly errors with which biased judgment and decision making is associated : changing incentives , nudging , and training . Each approach has strengths and weaknesses . For more details , see Morewedge and colleagues ( 2015 ) .

A religious delusion is any delusion involving religious themes or subject matter . Though a small minority of psychologists have characterized all or nearly all religion as delusion , others focus solely on a denial of any spiritual cause of symptoms exhibited by a patient and look for other answers relating to a chemical imbalance in the brain , although there is actually no evidence of pathology in any psychiatric illness which means a diagnosis is made purely on opinions of professionals based on symptoms the person exhibits .


Question: The role of historical natural patterns in climate change has become insignificant when assigning responsibility for current global warming trends to human activities.

 Anthropogenic Influence vs Natural Climate Cycles

The debate regarding anthropogenic impacts versus ancient natural cycles in causing contemporary global warming often hinges upon understanding historical climate data juxtaposed against modern scientific findings. Earth’s geologic record reveals numerous instances where fluctuations in atmospheric composition led to significant shifts in global temperatures—events largely attributed to volcanic eruptions, solar variability, and orbital changes. However, current trends diverge markedly; rapid increases in carbon dioxide levels correlate directly with industrial-era human activities rather than any discernible pattern within prehistoric cyclical phenomena.

Radiocarbon dating techniques confirm Earth emerged approximately 4.54 billion years ago amidst chaotic conditions conducive neither to stable climates nor complex life forms. Throughout subsequent eons, however, myriad factors—including asteroid impacts, continental drift, and fluctuating solar radiation—have intermittently triggered glacial epochs interspersed among warmer interglacials. These episodes demonstrate nature’s inherent capacity for self-regulation via feedback mechanisms involving albedo effects, vegetation dynamics, and marine biology.

Recent studies indicate that while past millennia witnessed relatively benign climate oscillations governed chiefly by Milankovitch cycles affecting Earth’s axial tilt, eccentricity, and obliquity relative to the sun, post-industrial society ushered in an era characterized predominantly by escalating greenhouse gases emitted during energy-intensive manufacturing processes. Consequently, average planetary temperatures escalated faster than anytime recorded since reliable instrumental records commenced circa late eighteenth century—a timeframe coinciding neatly with burgeoning fossil-fuel exploitation.

Moreover, unlike previous Holocene warmings linked loosely to increased insolation received during summer months near high latitudes following prolonged cold spells associated with Heinrich Events or Dansgaard-Oeschger Stadial/Anti-Stadial alternations respectively, twenty-first-century anomalies defy traditional explanations grounded purely in astronomical mechanics alone. Instead, overwhelming empirical evidence supports hypotheses positing direct causality linking unabated combustion-derived CO₂ accumulation alongside methane release stemming partly from thawing permafrost stores but more significantly attributable to agricultural intensification coupled closely with deforestation practices aimed ostensibly at maximizing short-term economic gains irrespective of longer-range ecological repercussions.

In summary therefore, although acknowledging undeniable contributions made hitherto by intrinsic planetary rhythms underpinning broader biogeochemical cycling regimes spanning countless generations prior even Homo sapiens’ emergence onto center stage, compelling arguments nonetheless favor assigning predominant culpability for ongoing anomalous thermal excursions squarely atop shoulders bearing responsibility for initiating uncontrolled experimentations conducted recklessly upon delicate homeostasis governing fragile ecosystems sustaining billions reliant thereupon daily sustenance provisionings without interruption henceforth

Laughter is a physical reaction in humans and some other species of primate , consisting typically of rhythmical , often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system . It is a response to certain external or internal stimuli . Laughter can arise from such activities as being tickled , or from humorous stories or thoughts . Most commonly , it is considered a visual expression of a number of positive emotional states , such as joy , mirth , happiness , relief , etc. . On some occasions , however , it may be caused by contrary emotional states such as embarrassment , apology , or confusion such as nervous laughter or courtesy laugh . Age , gender , education , language , and culture are all factors as to whether a person will experience laughter in a given situation .   Laughter is a part of human behavior regulated by the brain , helping humans clarify their intentions in social interaction and providing an emotional context to conversations . Laughter is used as a signal for being part of a group -- it signals acceptance and positive interactions with others . Laughter is sometimes seen as contagious , and the laughter of one person can itself provoke laughter from others as a positive feedback . This may account in part for the popularity of laugh tracks in situation comedy television shows .   The study of humor and laughter , and its psychological and physiological effects on the human body , is called gelotology .

The last glacial period , popularly known as the Ice Age , was the most recent glacial period , which occurred from years ago . This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation ( years ago to present ) . From this point of view , scientists consider this `` ice age '' to be merely the latest glaciation event in a much larger ice age , one that dates back over two million years and is still ongoing .   During this last glacial period , there were several changes between glacier advance and retreat . The Last Glacial Maximum , the maximum extent of glaciation within the last glacial period , was approximately 22,000 years ago . While the general pattern of global cooling and glacier advance was similar , local differences in the development of glacier advance and retreat make it difficult to compare the details from continent to continent ( see picture of ice core data below for differences ) . Approximately 13,000 years ago , the Late Glacial Maximum began . Around 11,700 years ago marked the beginning of the Holocene geological epoch , which includes the Holocene glacial retreat .   From the point of view of human archaeology , it falls in the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods . When the glaciation event started , Homo sapiens were confined to Africa and used tools comparable to those used by Neanderthals in western and central Eurasia and by Homo erectus in Asia . Near the end of the event , Homo sapiens spread into Eurasia and Australia . Archaeological and genetic data suggest that the source populations of Paleolithic humans survived the last glacial period in sparsely wooded areas and dispersed through areas of high primary productivity while avoiding dense forest cover . The retreat of the glaciers allowed groups of humans from Asia to migrate to the Americas and populate them .

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 .

A real estate trend is any consistent pattern or change in the general direction of the real estate industry which , over the course of time , causes a statistically noticeable change . This phenomenon can be a result of the economy , a change in mortgage rates , consumer speculations , or other fundamental and non-fundamental reasons .

The regression ( or regressive ) fallacy is an informal fallacy . It assumes that something has returned to normal because of corrective actions taken while it was abnormal . This fails to account for natural fluctuations . It is frequently a special kind of the post hoc fallacy .

Day-age creationism , a type of old Earth creationism , is an interpretation of the creation accounts in Genesis . It holds that the six days referred to in the Genesis account of creation are not ordinary 24-hour days , but are much longer periods ( from thousands to billions of years ) . The Genesis account is then reconciled with the age of the Earth . Proponents of the day-age theory can be found among both theistic evolutionists , who accept the scientific consensus on evolution , and progressive creationists , who reject it . The theories are said to be built on the understanding that the Hebrew word yom is also used to refer to a time period , with a beginning and an end and not necessarily that of a 24-hour day .   The differences between the young Earth interpretation of Genesis and modern scientific theories such as Big Bang , abiogenesis , and common descent are significant . The young Earth interpretation says that everything in the universe and on Earth was created in six 24-hour days , estimated to have occurred some 6,000 years ago . Modern scientific observations , however , put the age of the universe at 13.8 billion years and the Earth at 4.5 billion years , with various forms of life , including humans , being formed gradually over time .   The day-age theory attempts to reconcile these views by believing that the creation `` days '' were not ordinary 24-hour days , but actually lasted for long periods of time ( as day-age implies , the `` days '' each lasted an age ) . According to this view , the sequence and duration of the creation `` days '' may be paralleled to the scientific consensus for the age of the earth and the universe .

Decolonization ( US ) or decolonisation ( UK ) is the undoing of colonialism , where a nation establishes and maintains its domination over dependent territories . The Oxford English Dictionary defines decolonization as `` the withdrawal from its colonies of a colonial power ; the acquisition of political or economic independence by such colonies . '' The term refers particularly to the dismantlement , in the years after World War II , of the colonial empires established prior to World War I throughout the world . However , decolonization not only refers to the complete `` removal of the domination of non-indigenous forces '' within the geographical space and different institutions of the colonized , but it also refers to the `` decolonizing of the mind '' from the colonizers ' ideas that made the colonized feel inferior .   The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization has stated that in the process of decolonization there is no alternative to the colonizer allowing a process of self-determination , but in practice decolonization may involve either nonviolent revolution or national liberation wars by pro-independence groups . It may be intramural or involve the intervention of foreign powers acting individually or through international bodies such as the United Nations . Although examples of decolonization can be found as early as the writings of Thucydides , there have been several particularly active periods of decolonization in modern times . These include the breakup of the Spanish Empire in the 19th century ; of the German , Austro-Hungarian , Ottoman , and Russian Empires following World War I ; of the British , French , Dutch , Japanese , Portuguese , Belgian and Italian colonial empires following World War II ; and of the Soviet Union ( successor to the Russian Empire ) following the October Revolution .

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 laborer or labourer -- see variation in English spelling -- is a person who works in one of the construction trades , traditionally considered most reliable manual labor Laborers are also employed outside of the construction industry , in fields such as road paving , building construction , bridges tunnels etc. laborers have all blasting , hand tools , power tools , air tools , and small heavy equipment , and act as assistants to other trades as well , when sometimes they need guidance , e.g. , operators or cement masons . The 1st century BC engineer Vitruvius writes in detail about laborer practices at that time . In his experience a good crew of laborers is just as valuable as any other aspect of construction . Other than the addition of pneumatics , laborer practices have changed little . With the advent of advanced technology and its introduction into the construction field , the laborers have been quick to include much of this technology as being laborers work .

A land patent is an exclusive land grant made by a sovereign entity with respect to a particular tract of land . To make such a grant `` patent '' , a sovereign ( proprietary landowner ) must document the land grant , securely sign and seal the document ( patent ) , and openly publish the documents for the public to see . An official land patent is the highest evidence of right , title , and interest to a defined area . It is usually granted by a central , federal , or state government to an individual or to a private company .   Besides patent , other terms for the certificate that grants such rights include first-title deed and final certificate . In the United States , all claims of land ownership can be traced back to a land patent , first-title deed , or similar document regarding land originally owned by France , Spain , the United Kingdom , Mexico , Russia , or Native Americans .   A land patent is known in law as `` letters patent '' , and usually issues to the original grantee and to their heirs and assigns forever . The patent stands as supreme title to the land because it attests that all evidence of title existent before its issue date was reviewed by the sovereign authority under which it was sealed and was so sealed as irrefutable ; thus , at law the land patent itself so becomes the title to the land defined within its four corners .
