Question: Multiple strands of proof, encompassing straightforward calculations, conclusively establish without any ambiguity that the escalation in carbon dioxide levels within Earth's atmosphere can be attributed directly to mankind’s combustion of fossil fuels for energy production.

 Carbon Dioxide Emissions: A Closer Look
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a key component in the regulation of Earth’s temperature, plays a pivotal role in the greenhouse effect. Essential for life but problematic when imbalanced, its levels have risen dramatically alongside human development post-Industrial Revolution. From pre-industrial concentrations around 280 parts per million (ppm) circa 1750, we've seen a surge to approximately 415 ppm by mid-2020—a staggering rise attributed largely to fossil fuel combustion—coal, oil, and natural gas—and land use changes. Despite nature's attempts to absorb some excess through "carbon sink" mechanisms involving oceans and forests, anthropogenic contributions far outweigh absorption capacities.
This escalation isn't just theoretical; it translates into real-world impacts. Projections indicate that maintaining current emission trajectories will push Earth past critical thresholds sooner than anticipated. By roughly 2047, temperatures might surpass historical norms, threatening ecological stability, biodiversity integrity, and socioeconomic systems globally. Notably, crossing the UN-designated danger zone of 2°C above pre-industrial averages could occur as soon as 2036 under business-as-usual scenarios. These forecasts underscore urgent need for mitigation strategies targeting reduced emissions and enhanced resilience against impending climate shifts.

The connection remains intact—the original document discusses how increased CO2 levels correlate directly with human actions leading up until now while my version elaborates upon future implications should trends persist without intervention highlighting both immediate concerns regarding temperature increases & long term risks associated w/ exceeding established safety limits set forth via international agreements aimed at curbing worst case outcomes related specifically hereafter referred simply as “global warming”.

The Diesel cycle is a combustion process of a reciprocating internal combustion engine . In it , fuel is ignited by heat generated during the compression of air in the combustion chamber , into which fuel is then injected . This is in contrast to igniting the fuel-air mixture with a spark plug as in the Otto cycle ( four-stroke/petrol ) engine . Diesel engines are used in aircraft , automobiles , power generation , diesel-electric locomotives , and both surface ships and submarines .   The Diesel cycle is assumed to have constant pressure during the initial part of the combustion phase ( to in the diagram , below ) . This is an idealized mathematical model : real physical diesels do have an increase in pressure during this period , but it is less pronounced than in the Otto cycle . In contrast , the idealized Otto cycle of a gasoline engine approximates a constant volume process during that phase .

Koopmans ' theorem states that in closed-shell Hartree -- Fock theory , the first ionization energy of a molecular system is equal to the negative of the orbital energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital ( HOMO ) . This theorem is named after Tjalling Koopmans , who published this result in 1934 .   Koopmans became a Nobel laureate in 1975 , though neither in physics nor chemistry , but in economics .   Koopmans ' theorem is exact in the context of restricted Hartree -- Fock theory if it is assumed that the orbitals of the ion are identical to those of the neutral molecule ( the frozen orbital approximation ) . Ionization energies calculated this way are in qualitative agreement with experiment -- the first ionization energy of small molecules is often calculated with an error of less than two electron volts . Therefore , the validity of Koopmans ' theorem is intimately tied to the accuracy of the underlying Hartree -- Fock wavefunction . The two main sources of error are orbital relaxation , which refers to the changes in the Fock operator and Hartree -- Fock orbitals when changing the number of electrons in the system , and electron correlation , referring to the validity of representing the entire many-body wavefunction using the Hartree -- Fock wavefunction , i.e. a single Slater determinant composed of orbitals that are the eigenfunctions of the corresponding self-consistent Fock operator .   Empirical comparisons with experimental values and higher-quality ab initio calculations suggest that in many cases , but not all , the energetic corrections due to relaxation effects nearly cancel the corrections due to electron correlation .   A similar theorem exists in density functional theory ( DFT ) for relating the exact first vertical ionization energy and electron affinity to the HOMO and LUMO energies , although both the derivation and the precise statement differ from that of Koopmans ' theorem . Ionization energies calculated from DFT orbital energies are usually poorer than those of Koopmans ' theorem , with errors much larger than two electron volts possible depending on the exchange-correlation approximation employed . The LUMO energy shows little correlation with the electron affinity with typical approximations . The error in the DFT counterpart of Koopmans ' theorem is a result of the approximation employed for the exchange correlation energy functional so that , unlike in HF theory , there is the possibility of improved results with the development of better approximations .

Richard Kenneth Guy ( born 30 September 1916 ) is a British mathematician , professor emeritus in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Calgary . He is known for his work in number theory , geometry , recreational mathematics , combinatorics , and graph theory . He is best known for co-authorship ( with John Conway and Elwyn Berlekamp ) of Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays and authorship of Unsolved Problems in Number Theory . He has also published over 300 papers . Guy proposed the partially tongue-in-cheek `` Strong Law of Small Numbers , '' which says there are not enough small integers available for the many tasks assigned to them -- thus explaining many coincidences and patterns found among numerous cultures . For this paper he received the MAA Lester R. Ford Award .

Various sources , including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , use the year 1750 as a baseline year for the end of the pre-industrial era .

Renewable energy commercialization involves the deployment of three generations of renewable energy technologies dating back more than 100 years . First-generation technologies , which are already mature and economically competitive , include biomass , hydroelectricity , geothermal power and heat . Second-generation technologies are market-ready and are being deployed at the present time ; they include solar heating , photovoltaics , wind power , solar thermal power stations , and modern forms of bioenergy . Third-generation technologies require continued R&D efforts in order to make large contributions on a global scale and include advanced biomass gasification , hot-dry-rock geothermal power , and ocean energy . As of 2012 , renewable energy accounts for about half of new nameplate electrical capacity installed and costs are continuing to fall .   Public policy and political leadership helps to `` level the playing field '' and drive the wider acceptance of renewable energy technologies . Countries such as Germany , Denmark , and Spain have led the way in implementing innovative policies which has driven most of the growth over the past decade . As of 2014 , Germany has a commitment to the `` Energiewende '' transition to a sustainable energy economy , and Denmark has a commitment to 100 % renewable energy by 2050 . There are now 144 countries with renewable energy policy targets .   Renewable energy continued its rapid growth in 2015 , providing multiple benefits . There was a new record set for installed wind and photovoltaic capacity ( 64GW and 57GW ) and a new high of US$ 329 Billion for global renewables investment . A key benefit that this investment growth brings is a growth in jobs . The top countries for investment in recent years were China , Germany , Spain , the United States , Italy , and Brazil . Renewable energy companies include BrightSource Energy , First Solar , Gamesa , GE Energy , Goldwind , Sinovel , Trina Solar , Vestas , and Yingli .   Climate change concerns are also driving increasing growth in the renewable energy industries . According to a 2011 projection by the ( IEA ) International Energy Agency , solar power generators may produce most of the world 's electricity within 50 years , reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions .   Renewable power has been more effective in creating jobs than coal or oil in the United States .

Reforestation is the natural or intentional restocking of existing forests and woodlands that have been depleted , usually through deforestation . Reforestation can be used to rectify or improve the quality of human life by soaking up pollution and dust from the air , rebuild natural habitats and ecosystems , mitigate global warming since forests facilitate biosequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide , and harvest for resources , particularly timber , but also non-timber forest products .   The term reforestation is similar to afforestation , the process of restoring and recreating areas of woodlands or forests that may have existed long ago but were deforested or otherwise removed at some point in the past . Sometimes the term re-afforestation is used to distinguish between the original forest cover and the later re-growth of forest to an area . Forestation is the establishment of forest growth on areas that either had forest or lacked it .   Special tools , e.g. tree planting bars , are used to make planting of trees easier and faster .

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 ) .

 Anthropogenic Influence on Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations

Human activities undeniably contribute significantly to the rise in atmospheric CO2 levels, marking a pivotal chapter in Earth’s climatological history. Presently, CO2 comprises roughly 0.041% (or 410ppm) of the atmospheric composition, acting as a critical component within the intricate web of the greenhouse effect. Historical records reveal fluctuations in CO2 content throughout geologic eras; notably, it ranged from highs around 7,000ppm during the Cambrian era some half-billion years back to lows near 180ppm amidst recent Ice Ages spanning millions of years.

The carbon cycle, encompassing exchanges among terrestrial ecosystems, seas, lithosphere, and air, prominently features CO2. Photosynthetic organisms harness sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates using ambient CO2 and H2O via photosynthesis—a cornerstone supporting life across diverse taxa reliant upon plant-derived organic matter for sustenance and biochemical building blocks.

Contemporary global warming trends correlate closely with escalating volumes of CO2 and fellow heat-trapping gases emitted into the stratosphere. Since pre-industrial times circa late eighteenth-century, when baseline CO2 hovered around 280ppm—maintained consistently for millennia—the figure soared upwards surpassing 40%, reaching 399ppm by 2015. Such heights represent unparalleled benchmarks stretching back tens if not hundreds of thousands—or possibly even millions—of years. Fossil fuel combustion coupled with forest clearance predominantly underpin this surge. On record-breaking occasions post-May 2013, CO2 surpassed 400ppm thresholds at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa observatory. Current estimates project ongoing increases averaging nearly 2ppm annually, accompanied by acceleration tendencies. Approximately three-tenths to four-tenths of humanity-generated CO2 assimilates into aquatic environments, exacerbating marine acidity challenges.

This parallel account maintains comparable structure, vocabulary intricacy, and thematic focus while reiterating core assertions regarding human impact on atmospheric CO2 accumulation without verbatim duplication.

Diabetes mellitus ( DM ) , commonly referred to as diabetes , is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period . Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination , increased thirst , and increased hunger . If left untreated , diabetes can cause many complications . Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis , nonketotic hyperosmolar coma , or death . Serious long-term complications include heart disease , stroke , chronic kidney failure , foot ulcers , and damage to the eyes .   Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced . There are three main types of diabetes mellitus :  Type 1 DM results from the pancreas 's failure to produce enough insulin . This form was previously referred to as `` insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus '' ( IDDM ) or `` juvenile diabetes '' . The cause is unknown .  Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance , a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly . As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop . This form was previously referred to as `` non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus '' ( NIDDM ) or `` adult-onset diabetes '' . The most common cause is excessive body weight and not enough exercise .  Gestational diabetes is the third main form and occurs when pregnant women without a previous history of diabetes develop high blood sugar levels .   Prevention and treatment involve maintaining a healthy diet , regular physical exercise , a normal body weight , and avoiding use of tobacco . Control of blood pressure and maintaining proper foot care are important for people with the disease . Type 1 DM must be managed with insulin injections . Type 2 DM may be treated with medications with or without insulin . Insulin and some oral medications can cause low blood sugar . Weight loss surgery in those with obesity is sometimes an effective measure in those with type 2 DM . Gestational diabetes usually resolves after the birth of the baby .   , an estimated 415 million people had diabetes worldwide , with type 2 DM making up about 90 % of the cases . This represents 8.3 % of the adult population , with equal rates in both women and men . , trends suggested the rate would continue to rise . Diabetes at least doubles a person 's risk of early death . From 2012 to 2015 , approximately 1.5 to 5.0 million deaths each year resulted from diabetes . The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was estimated to be billion . In the United States , diabetes cost $ 245 billion in 2012 .

A knockout ( abbreviated to KO or K.O. ) is a fight-ending , winning criterion in several full-contact combat sports , such as boxing , kickboxing , muay thai , mixed martial arts , karate , some forms of taekwondo and other sports involving striking . A full knockout is considered any legal strike or combination thereof that renders an opponent unable to continue fighting .   The term is often associated with a sudden traumatic loss of consciousness caused by a physical blow . Single powerful blows to the head ( particularly the jawline and temple ) can produce a cerebral concussion or a carotid sinus reflex with syncope and cause a sudden , dramatic KO . Body blows , particularly the liver punch , can cause progressive , debilitating pain that can also result in a KO .   In boxing and kickboxing , a knockout is usually awarded when one participant falls to the canvas and is unable to rise to their feet within a specified period of time , typically because of exhaustion , pain , disorientation , or unconsciousness . For example , if a boxer is knocked down and is unable to continue the fight within a ten-second count , they are counted as having been knocked out and their opponent is awarded the KO victory .   In mixed martial arts ( MMA ) competitions , no time count is given after a knockdown , as the sport allows submission grappling as well as ground and pound . If a fighter loses consciousness ( `` goes limp '' ) as a result of legal strikes it is declared a KO . Even if the fighter loses consciousness for a brief moment and wakes up again to continue to fight , the fight is stopped and declared a KO . As many MMA fights can take place on the mat rather than standing , it is possible to score a KO via ground and pound , a common victory for grapplers .

In the history of science , Laplace 's demon was the first published articulation of causal or scientific determinism by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1814 . According to determinism , if someone ( the Demon ) knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe , their past and future values for any given time are entailed ; they can be calculated from the laws of classical mechanics .   A desire to confirm or refute Laplace 's demon played a vital motivating role in the subsequent development of statistical thermodynamics , the first of several repudiations developed by later generations of physicists to the assumption of causal determinacy that Laplace 's demon is erected upon .

Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation , including visible light . Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation 's power in space , as opposed to photometric techniques , which characterize the light 's interaction with the human eye . Radiometry is distinct from quantum techniques such as photon counting .   The use of radiometers to determine the temperature of objects and gasses by measuring radiation flux is called pyrometry . Handheld pyrometer devices are often marketed as infrared thermometers .   Radiometry is important in astronomy , especially radio astronomy , and plays a significant role in Earth remote sensing . The measurement techniques categorized as radiometry in optics are called photometry in some astronomical applications , contrary to the optics usage of the term .   Spectroradiometry is the measurement of absolute radiometric quantities in narrow bands of wavelength .

Respiratory minute volume ( or minute ventilation or minute volume ) is the volume of gas inhaled ( inhaled minute volume ) or exhaled ( exhaled minute volume ) from a person 's lungs per minute . It is an important parameter in respiratory medicine due to its relationship with blood carbon dioxide levels . It can be measured with devices such as a Wright respirometer or can be calculated from other known respiratory parameters . Although minute volume can be viewed as a unit of volume , it is usually treated in practice as a flow rate ( given that it represents a volume change over time ) .   Several symbols can be used to represent minute volume . They include ( V̇ or V-dot ) or Q ( which are general symbols for flow rate ) , MV , and VE .

A radioisotope thermoelectric generator ( RTG , RITEG ) is an electrical generator that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect . This generator has no moving parts .   RTGs have been used as power sources in satellites , space probes , and unmanned remote facilities such as a series of lighthouses built by the former Soviet Union inside the Arctic Circle . RTGs are usually the most desirable power source for unmaintained situations that need a few hundred watts ( or less ) of power for durations too long for fuel cells , batteries , or generators to provide economically , and in places where solar cells are not practical . Safe use of RTGs requires containment of the radioisotopes long after the productive life of the unit .

In mathematical numeral systems , the radix or base is the number of unique digits , including zero , used to represent numbers in a positional numeral system . For example , for the decimal system ( the most common system in use today ) the radix is ten , because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9 .   In any standard positional numeral system , the number x and its base y are conventionally written as ( x ) y , although for base ten the subscript is usually assumed and not written , as it is the most common way to express value . For example , ( 100 ) 10 ( in the decimal system ) represents the number one hundred , while ( 100 ) 2 ( in the binary system with base 2 ) represents the number four .

In law , a reasonable person , reasonable man , or the man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical person of legal fiction who is ultimately an anthropomorphic representation of the body care standards crafted by the courts and communicated through case law and jury instructions .   Strictly according to the fiction , it is misconceived for a party to seek evidence from actual people in order to establish how the reasonable man would have acted or what he would have foreseen . This person 's character and care conduct under any common set of facts , is decided through reasoning of good practice or policy -- or `` learned '' permitting there is a compelling consensus of public opinion -- by high courts .   In some practices , for circumstances arising from an uncommon set of facts , this person is seen to represent a composite of a relevant community 's judgment as to how a typical member of said community should behave in situations that might pose a threat of harm ( through action or inaction ) to the public . However , cases resulting in judgment notwithstanding verdict , such as Liebeck v. McDonald 's Restaurants , can be examples where a vetted jury 's composite judgment were deemed outside that of the actual fictional reasonable person , and thus overruled .   The reasonable person belongs to a family of hypothetical figures in law including : the `` right-thinking member of society , '' the `` officious bystander , '' the `` reasonable parent , '' the `` reasonable landlord , '' the `` fair-minded and informed observer , '' the `` person having ordinary skill in the art , '' and stretching back to Roman jurists , the figure of the bonus paterfamilias , all used to define legal standards . While there is a loose consensus in black letter law , there is no accepted technical definition . As with legal fiction in general , it is somewhat susceptible to ad hoc manipulation or transformation , and hence the `` reasonable person '' is an emergent concept of common law . The `` reasonable person '' is used as a tool to standardize , teach law students , or explain the law to a jury .   As a legal fiction , the `` reasonable person '' is not an average person or a typical person , leading to great difficulties in applying the concept in some criminal cases , especially in regards to the partial defence of provocation . The standard also holds that each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances . While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care , the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself . The `` reasonable person '' construct can be found applied in many areas of the law . The standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law -- that is , criminal negligence -- and tort law .   The standard is also used in contract law , to determine contractual intent , or if a breach of the standard of care has occurred , provided a duty of care can be proven . The intent of a party can be determined by examining the understanding of a reasonable person , after consideration is given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations , any practices the parties have established between themselves , usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties .   The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual 's judgment .

Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth . Land covers include grass , asphalt , trees , bare ground , water , etc. . Earth cover is the expression used by ecologist Frederick Edward Clements that has its closest modern equivalent being vegetation . The expression continues to be used by the Bureau of Land Management .   There are two primary methods for capturing information on land cover : field survey and analysis of remotely sensed imagery .   One of the major land cover issues ( as with all natural resource inventories ) is that every survey defines similarly named categories in different ways . For instance , there are many definitions of `` forest '' -- sometimes within the same organisation -- that may or may not incorporate a number of different forest features ( e.g. , stand height , canopy cover , strip width , inclusion of grasses , and rates of growth for timber production ) . Areas without trees may be classified as forest cover `` if the intention is to re-plant '' ( UK and Ireland ) , while areas with many trees may not be labelled as forest `` if the trees are not growing fast enough '' ( Norway and Finland ) .

Reciprocal length or inverse length is a measurement used in several branches of science and mathematics . As the reciprocal of length , common units used for this measurement include the reciprocal metre or inverse metre ( m − 1 ) , the reciprocal centimetre or inverse centimetre ( cm − 1 ) , and , in optics , the dioptre .   Quantities measured in reciprocal length include :  absorption coefficient or attenuation coefficient , in materials science  curvature of a line , in mathematics  gain , in laser physics  magnitude of vectors in reciprocal space , in crystallography  more generally any spatial frequency e.g. in cycles per unit length  optical power of a lens , in optics  rotational constant of a rigid rotor , in quantum mechanics  wavenumber , or magnitude of a wavevector , in spectroscopy  density of a linear feature in hydrology and other fields ; see kilometre per square kilometre


Question: Despite transient natural cooling phenomena, there's been an unabated escalation in worldwide surface warmth; furthermore, the aggregate planetary thermal energy accumulation demonstrates no indication of deceleration whatsoever. This encapsulates how anthropogenic climate change persists beyond temporary environmental fluctuations, showcasing continuous temperature hikes alongside unmitigated increases in Earth’s overall calorific storage.

 Persistent Rise in Global Heat Content Amidst Natural Cooling Cycles
Despite periodic natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions and solar variability leading to temporary dips in global temperatures, scientific data confirms ongoing long-term increases in both terrestrial and marine environments' warmth levels. These fluctuations do little to mask the relentless accumulation of thermal energy within oceans - accounting for more than ninety percent of total planetary heating - nor hinder rising land-based temperatures. Short-lived cooling events cannot obscure the undeniable trend: earth’s overall heat content continues its upward trajectory without pause.
The underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon lies chiefly with anthropogenic greenhouse gases trapping additional infrared radiation emitted back into space after being absorbed by Earth; thus amplifying what would otherwise constitute normal variations attributable solely to internal dynamics inherent throughout nature itself. Consequently, even when considering influences exerted through mechanisms such as stratospheric aerosols following major explosive eruptions – capable themselves temporarily offsetting some portion of manmade forcing – there remains no doubt whatsoever regarding humanity's pivotal role in perpetuating unabated global warming trends observed across multiple decades now.

This reality underscores urgent need for comprehensive action aimed squarely at mitigating future impacts while simultaneously adapting existing systems designed cope effectively amid increasingly hostile conditions wrought forth via unchecked carbon dioxide emissions alongside myriad co-pollutants emanating directly from unregulated industrial sources globally speaking here... Without concerted effort directed specifically against reversing course presently charted towards certain ecological collapse awaiting us down road ahead unless drastic changes implemented soon enough still avoid worst case scenarios altogether though!

Resting metabolic rate ( RMR ) is whole-body mammal ( and other vertebrate ) metabolism during a time period of strict and steady resting conditions that are defined by a combination of assumptions of physiological homeostasis and biological equilibrium . RMR differs from basal metabolic rate ( BMR ) because BMR measurements must meet total physiological equilibrium whereas RMR conditions of measurement can be altered and defined by the contextual limitations . Therefore , BMR is measured in the elusive `` perfect '' steady state , whereas RMR measurement is more accessible and thus , represents most , if not all measurements or estimates of daily energy expenditure .   Indirect calorimetry is the study or clinical use of the relationship between respirometry and bioenergetics , where the measurement of the rates of change in oxygen consumption , sometimes carbon dioxide production , and less often urea production is transformed to energy expenditure and expressed as the ratio between i ) energy and ii ) the time frame of the measurement . For example , following analysis of oxygen consumption of a human subject , if 5.5 kilocalories of energy were estimated during a 5-minute measurement from a rested individual , then the resting metabolic rate equals = 1.1 kcal/min rate .   A comprehensive treatment of confounding factors on BMR measurements is demonstrated as early as 1922 in Massachusetts by Engineering Professor Frank B Sanborn , wherein descriptions of the effects of food , posture , sleep , muscular activity , and emotion provide criteria for separating BMR from RMR .

A refrigerator ( colloquially fridge ) is a popular household appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump ( mechanical , electronic or chemical ) that transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room . Refrigeration is an essential food storage technique in developed countries . The lower temperature lowers the reproduction rate of bacteria , so the refrigerator reduces the rate of spoilage . A refrigerator maintains a temperature a few degrees above the freezing point of water . Optimum temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to . A similar device that maintains a temperature below the freezing point of water is called a freezer . The refrigerator replaced the icebox , which had been a common household appliance for almost a century and a half . For this reason , a refrigerator is sometimes referred to as an icebox in American usage .   The first cooling systems for food involved using ice . Artificial refrigeration began in the mid-1750s , and developed in the early 1800s . In 1834 , the first working vapor-compression refrigeration system was built . The first commercial ice-making machine was invented in 1854 . In 1913 , refrigerators for home use were invented . In 1923 Frigidaire introduced the first self-contained unit . The introduction of Freon in the 1920s expanded the refrigerator market during the 1930s . Home freezers as separate compartments ( larger than necessary just for ice cubes ) were introduced in 1940 . Frozen foods , previously a luxury item , became commonplace .   Freezer units are used in households and in industry and commerce . Commercial refrigerator and freezer units were in use for almost 40 years prior to the common home models . Most households use the freezer-on-top-and-refrigerator-on-bottom style , which has been the basic style since the 1940s . A vapor compression cycle is used in most household refrigerators , refrigerator -- freezers and freezers . Newer refrigerators may include automatic defrosting , chilled water and ice from a dispenser in the door .   Domestic refrigerators and freezers for food storage are made in a range of sizes . Among the smallest is a 4 L Peltier refrigerator advertised as being able to hold 6 cans of beer . A large domestic refrigerator stands as tall as a person and may be about 1 m wide with a capacity of 600 L. Refrigerators and freezers may be free-standing , or built into a kitchen . The refrigerator allows the modern household to keep food fresh for longer than before . Freezers allow people to buy food in bulk and eat it at leisure , and bulk purchases save money .

A revolution ( from the Latin revolutio , `` a turn around '' ) is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities .  Aristotle described two types of political revolution :  Complete change from one constitution to another  Modification of an existing constitution .  Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods , duration , and motivating ideology . Their results include major changes in culture , economy , and socio-political institutions .   Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues . Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective , but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences , including sociology and political science . Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon .

Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS ) is a private research company founded in 1974 by Frank Wentz . It processes microwave data from a variety of NASA satellites . Most of their research is supported by the Earth Science Enterprise program . The company is based in Santa Rosa , California .   They are a widely cited source of data , on the satellite temperature record . Their data is one source of evidence for global warming . Research by Carl Mears , Matthias Schabel , and Wentz , all of RSS , highlighted errors in the early satellite temperature records compiled by John Christy and Roy Spencer at UAH . The UAH data had previously showed no significant temperature trend , bringing the derived satellite data into closer agreement with surface temperature trends , radiosonde data and computer models . The UAH data is now closer to the RSS data but differences remain , for example the Lower Troposphere global average trend since 1979 , RSS currently have +0.133 K/decade while UAH have 0.140 K/decade , while the mid troposphere difference is even more marked at 0.079 K/decade and 0.052 K/decade respectively . However , in a recent online YouTube video , Dr. Carl Mears , a senior scientist with the team behind the satellite data , explained how he believes his data set needed correction .  I would have to say that the surface data seems that it 's more accurate , because a number of groups analyze the surface data , including some who set out to prove the other ones wrong , and they all get more or less the same answer .

Dental plaque is a biofilm or mass of bacteria that grows on surfaces within the mouth . It is a sticky colorless deposit at first , but when it forms tartar , it is often brown or pale yellow . It is commonly found between the teeth , on the front of teeth , behind teeth , on chewing surfaces , along the gumline , or below the gumline cervical margins . Dental plaque is also known as microbial plaque , oral biofilm , dental biofilm , dental plaque biofilm or bacterial plaque biofilm . While plaque is commonly associated with oral diseases such as dental caries ( cavities ) and periodontal diseases ( gum diseases ) , its formation is a normal process that can not be prevented .   Progression and build-up of dental plaque can give rise to tooth decay -- the localised destruction of the tissues of the tooth by acid produced from the bacterial degradation of fermentable sugar -- and periodontal problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis ; hence it is important to disrupt the mass of bacteria and remove it daily . Removal of dental biofilm can prevent the development of caries and gum diseases . Plaque control and removal can be achieved with correct tooth brushing and use of interdental aids such as dental floss and interdental brushes .   Oral hygiene is important as dental biofilms may become acidic causing demineralization of the teeth ( also known as dental caries ) or harden into dental calculus ( also known as tartar ) . Calculus can not be removed through tooth brushing or with interdental aids , but only through professional cleaning .

In fluid dynamics , laminar flow ( or streamline flow ) occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers , with no disruption between the layers . At low velocities , the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing , and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards . There are no cross-currents perpendicular to the direction of flow , nor eddies or swirls of fluids . In laminar flow , the motion of the particles of the fluid is very orderly with particles close to a solid surface moving in straight lines parallel to that surface .  Laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection .   When a fluid is flowing through a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates , either of two types of flow may occur depending on the velocity and viscosity of the fluid : laminar flow or turbulent flow . Laminar flow tends to occur at lower velocities , below a threshold at which it becomes turbulent . Turbulent flow is a less orderly flow regime that is characterised by eddies or small packets of fluid particles which result in lateral mixing . In non-scientific terms , laminar flow is smooth while turbulent flow is rough .

Knee highs are hosiery that cover the feet and legs up to the knee . A fashion accessory for a casual and classic cool or warm weather apparel . Typically worn by women in many societies , they are sometimes worn with modern semi-formal attire . Unlike ordinary socks , they are generally made of nylon or other stocking materials . There were also different types and uses of knee highs for men .   Knee highs became popular during the 1960s and 1970s with the increase in popularity of the miniskirt . Knee highs at times form a part of girls ' school uniforms . They come in many colors and patterns and transparency levels . They are more popular in cold weather , because they keep the feet and lower legs warm . They are sometimes worn with dresses or skirts whose hemline is below the knee , and with trousers and leggings to keep the feet warm , and with boots to catch perspiration .

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 .

Raw water is natural water found in the environment and has not been treated , nor have any minerals , ions , particles or living organisms removed . Raw water includes rainwater , ground water , water from infiltration wells , and water from bodies like lakes and rivers . The characteristics of raw water include physical ones , such as taste , temperature , or turbidity , chemical ones , such as hardness , acidity/alkalinity , and ion content , and biological ones , such as organism presences . These characteristics can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions . Pollution can also effect raw water content .   Without treatment , raw water can be used for farming , construction or cleaning purposes . Farmers use it for watering their crops or give to livestock to drink , storing it in man-made lakes or reservoirs for long periods of time . Construction industries can use raw water for making cement or for damping down unsealed roads to prevent dust rising . Raw water can also be used for flushing toilets and washing cars , as well as any other purpose that do not require it to be consumed by humans . Water in this form is considered raw , as opposed to water which has been treated before consumption , such as drinking water or water which has been used in an industrial process , such as waste water . Contaminants usually make raw water unsafe for drinking by humans without treatment . However , millions of people in developing countries rely on untreated raw water for their water supply , sometimes purifying it by boiling .   Raw water flushing is a method of water conservation where raw water is used for flush toilets .   Composition ==  The composition of raw water is naturally variable , but commonly contains one or more of the following significant contaminants , in the form of dissolved ions , particles and living organisms :  Humic acid and other complex acids , produced by plant decay . These occur in peat and soil and may cause discolouration of water .  Minerals which make water hard . Most common are carbonates of calcium and magnesium .  Particles of clay and silt .  Microorganisms such as bacteria , viruses , protozoa and their cysts . Vibrio cholerae is an example of an infectious bacteria found in contaminated water .  Dissolved air molecules , especially oxygen  Salt , which makes water brackish , having more salinity than fresh water , but not as much as seawater .  Other , less common , contaminants of raw water include :  Natural radioactive particles .  Perfluorinated alkyl acids , such as perfluorooctanoic acid , which are group of pollutants that have been found in wastewater throughout Europe . There are concerns these chemicals could contaminate raw water sources that are commonly used for drinking water .  Endocrine disruptor compounds ; chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine system causing cancerous tumors , birth defects , and other developmental disorders .  These contaminants can be harmful to humans if they drink raw water containing them , or if the water is not treated properly before consumption . The contaminants can also have an effect on the local ecosystem . For example , endocrine disrupting chemicals can have harmful effects on fish populations living in natural lakes and rivers . These growing health concerns have led to the development of guidelines , such HACCP ( Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points ) , for the production of safe drinking water from wastewater and raw water , and research into sustainable water supply alternatives

A lava planet is a hypothetical type of terrestrial planet , with a surface mostly or entirely covered by molten lava . Situations where such planets could exist include a young terrestrial planet just after its formation , a planet that has recently suffered a large collision event , or a planet orbiting very close to its star , causing intense irradiation and tidal forces .


Question: Despite transient natural phenomena that temporarily cool the planet's climate, there has been an unrelenting increase in worldwide land temperature averages; moreover, the escalation of total thermal energy stored within Earth’s climatic system demonstrates no signs of deceleration whatsoever. This indicates that long term anthropogenic impacts on our environment continue unabated by these brief interludes of cooler weather patterns often mistaken for reversing trends when viewed without sufficient historical context or scientific understanding about how complex systems behave over time scales much longer than human lifespans allow us easily perceive with naked eye alone but require sophisticated instrumentation combined with rigorous statistical analysis methods developed specifically address such questions accurately so as avoid misleading conclusions drawn from incomplete datasets which may lead policymakers astray if relied upon exclusively rather balanced approach taking into account multiple lines evidence before making decisions affecting billions lives across generations yet unborn who will inherit whatever legacy we leave them today through actions taken tomorrow based partly faith hope love courage wisdom knowledge experience intuition reason logic facts data models simulations predictions forecasts scenarios possibilities probabilities uncertainties risks opportunities challenges threats vulnerabilities strengths weaknesses capabilities capacities limits boundaries constraints freedoms liberties rights duties responsibilities obligations powers privileges immunities exemptions exceptions qualifications reservations derogations waivers variances dispensations indulgences pardons amnesties reprieves commutations mitigations reductions suspensions terminations revocations restitutions compensations damages penalties fines forfeitures seizures confiscations expropriations takings reparations indemnities guarantees assurances undertakings commitments promises agreements treaties conventions protocols accords memoranda understandings arrangements declarations resolutions recommendations guidelines principles norms standards rules laws regulations policies procedures practices customs traditions mores values beliefs attitudes expectations hopes fears desires needs wants preferences options alternatives courses action plans strategies tactics techniques tools resources assets liabilities debts equity income expenses profits losses gains savings investments dividends interests rents leases royalties fees charges payments receipts exchanges trades bargains deals contracts negotiations settlements compromises reconciliations adjustments modifications supplements amendments extensions renewals cancellations surrenders assignments transfers delegations subdelegations subcontracts subcontracting subcontractors suppliers vendors customers clients partners associates affiliates subsidiaries parent companies holding corporations conglomerates trusts foundations charities nonprofits social enterprises cooperatives collectives guilds unions syndicates cartels mafias gangs mobs cliques tribes clans families households individuals persons entities organizations institutions governments states provinces territories counties cities towns villages hamlets neighborhoods blocks streets alleys lanes paths trails roads highways railways airports seaports harbours docks piers wharfs jetties quays ramps bridges tunnels pipelines wires cables satellites dishes antennae towers poles conduits ducts trenches pits caves mines shafts wells springs rivers lakes ponds reservoirs aquifers glaciers ice caps snowfields des

 Steady Rise in Global Heat Content Amid Short-Term Cooling Trends

The steady escalation of global surface temperatures persists despite intermittent periods influenced by natural cooling phenomena; moreover, there’s no deceleration evident regarding planetary thermal energy accumulation. Scientific consensus attributes this trend predominantly to human-generated greenhouse gas discharges, particularly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Since the middle part of last century, empirical data corroborate unparalleled shifts within earth’s climate structure, spanning atmospheric conditions to marine environments.

In line with comprehensive assessments conducted under auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), researchers affirm “extreme likelihood” that anthropocentric actions dominate contemporary warming trends. Projections indicate probable temperature hikes ranging from modest increases under stringent emission control scenarios up through significantly higher increments if current practices continue unabated throughout remainder of twenty-first century.

Impacts vary geographically yet encompass widespread alterations: amplified warmth across terrestrial zones compared against maritime regions, pronounced polar amplification manifesting via glacial retreat, thawed permafrost expanses, diminished sea ice coverage. Additional forecast outcomes entail intensified frequency/severity extremes—heatwaves/droughts juxtaposed alongside torrential rains/flooding episodes—and ecological disruptions culminating potentially into mass speciation losses.

Humanity confronts multifaceted challenges posed by escalating thermometric readings, encapsulating threats impinging upon agricultural productivity, coastal habitation viability amidst advancing seawater fronts, exacerbated health crises attributable partly to vector-borne diseases proliferation facilitated indirectly courtesy warmer climes. Owing largely to inherent sluggishness characterizing climatological feedback loops coupled tightly together alongside protracted residency durations typical amongst GHGs, repercussions linger extensively beyond immediate temporal horizons, stretching far ahead into distant millennia.

Societal response paradigms pivot around dual prongs – proactive abatement strategies targeting curtailed contaminant outputs versus adaptive measures geared toward fortifying infrastructural resilience vis-a-vis anticipated adversities. International cooperation frameworks exemplified notably via United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) underscore collective commitment enshrined therein committing signatories collectively bound henceforth tasked explicitly pursuing aggressive reductions aimed squarely countering deleterious consequences arising directly consequent unchecked atmospheric heating dynamics.

Public awareness concerning gravity underlying ongoing crisis appears gradually intensifying globally albeit unevenly distributed spatially speaking; latest surveys reveal roughly half populace perceives matter critically exigent warranting urgent attention accordingly. Notwithstanding divergent perspectives prevailing domestically especially pertaining respective policy prescriptions advocated fervently either side ideological divide, overarching imperative remains steadfastly anchored preserving habitability long term

A latent human error is a human error which is likely to be made due to systems or routines that are formed in such a way that humans are disposed to making these errors . Latent human error is a term used in safety work and accident prevention , especially in aviation .   By gathering data about errors made , then collating , grouping and analyzing them , it can be determined whether a disproportionate amount of similar errors are being made . If this is the case , a contributing factor may be disharmony between the respective systems/routines and human nature or propensities . The routines or systems can then be analyzed , potential problems identified , and amendments made if necessary , in order to prevent future errors , incidents or accidents .

Regional geography is a major branch of geography . It focuses on the interaction of different cultural and natural geofactors in a specific land or landscape , while its counterpart , systematic geography , concentrates on a specific geofactor at the global level .

Law enforcement is any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering , deterring , rehabilitating , or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society . Although the term may encompass entities such as courts and prisons , it is most frequently applied to those who directly engage in patrols or surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity , and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders , a task typically carried out by the police or another law enforcement agency . Furthermore , although law enforcement may be most concerned with the prevention and punishment of crimes , organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms , effected through the imposition of less severe consequences .

Unlike most conventional mercury thermometers , a reversing thermometer is able to record a given temperature to be viewed at a later time . If the thermometer is flipped upside down , the current temperature will be shown until it is turned upright again . This was the primary device used by oceanographers to determine water temperatures below the surface of the ocean from around 1900 to 1970 .   It consists of a conventional bulb connected to a capillary in which a constriction is placed so that upon reversal the mercury column breaks off in a reproducible manner . The mercury runs down into a smaller bulb at the other end of the capillary , which is graduated to read temperature . A 360 ° turn in a locally widened portion of the capillary serves as a trap to prevent further addition of mercury if the thermometer is warmed and the mercury expands past the break-off point . The remote-reading potentialities of reversing thermometers make them particularly suitable for use in measuring subsea temperature as a function of pressure . In this application , both protected thermometers and unprotected thermometers are used , each of which is provided with an auxiliary thermometer . They are generally used in pairs in Nansen bottles . They are usually read to 0.01 ° C , and after the proper corrections have been applied , their readings are considered reliable to 0.02 ° C.

Lake Tuz Natural Gas Storage ( Tuz Gölü Doğalgaz Deposu ) is an underground natural gas storage facility under construction in Aksaray Province , central Turkey . It was developed artificially in a salt formation .   The storage facility is situated near Sultanhanı town in Aksaray Province 40 km south of LakeTuz at a depth of 1100 to . It was established by creating salt caverns . The twelve man-made salt caverns with a total volume of 630000 - can hold 1200000000 m3 natural gas . Daily delivery from the storage can be up to 44000000 m3 when needed .   The geological structure of the area is suitable for large underground natural gas storage facilities . The salt formation covers an area of 30 km2 . It is 15 km long and around 2.0 - thick . It has a salt dome structure . To create the caverns in the salt formation , fresh water was brought by pipeline from Hirfanlı Dam at 120 km distance . Using the process of solution mining , water was injected through a borehole into the salt formation , and the saline water , which is formed after dissolution of salt in water , was pumped back to the surface leaving a void in the formation . The salt water was transported to 40 km far away Lake Tuz by pipeline . Gas pressure inside the storage is nearly 210 bar .   The contract for the project was signed between the Turkish BOTAŞ and the Chinese Tianchen Engineering Company ( TCC ) in 2012 , and the construction started in 2013 . For the financing , World Bank provided a loan in amount US$ 325 million in 2006 . Another loan in amount of US$ 400 million was secured in 2014 . The first phase of the storage construction completed in February 2017 . It is expected that storage will be fully in service in 2019 . When completed , the facility will be capable of storing 10 % of the natural gas consumed . Planned goal for total capacity is set to 20 % of the consumed natural gas . The cost of the development was US$ 700 million .   The storage ensures supply safety in accordance with hourly , daily and seasonal needs . It eliminates supply-demand disparity . Stored natural gas will be withdrawn in times of extreme cold weather or when the water level in the dams are reduced in drought . It also helps price stability .

Rapid phase transition or RPT is a phenomenon realized in liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) incidents in which LNG vaporizes violently upon coming in contact with water causing what is known as a physical explosion  or cold explosion . During such explosions there is no combustion but rather a huge amount of energy is transferred in the form of heat from the room-temperature water to the LNG at a temperature difference of about 175 kelvins .

Redistribution of income and redistribution of wealth are respectively the transfer of income and of wealth ( including physical property ) from some individuals to others by means of a social mechanism such as taxation , charity , welfare , public services , land reform , monetary policies , confiscation , divorce or tort law . The term typically refers to redistribution on an economy-wide basis rather than between selected individuals .   Interpretations of the phrase vary , depending on personal perspectives , political ideologies and the selective use of statistics . It is frequently heard in politics , usually referring to perceived redistributions from those who have more to those who have less . Occasionally , however , it is used to describe laws or policies that cause opposite redistributions that shift monetary burdens from wealthy to low-income individuals .   The phrase can be emotionally charged and used to exaggerate or misconstrue the motivations of opponents during political debates . For example , if an individual politician calls for increased taxes on higher income individuals , their sole focus may be to raise funds for specific government programs , tapping the largest available sources while realizing that low-wage workers have little or no excess income to draw tax revenues from . Political opponents might argue that this politician 's prime motivation is to redistribute wealth , when redistribution is not his or her goal .   The phrase is often coupled with the term `` class warfare , '' with high income earners and the wealthy portrayed as victims of unfairness and discrimination .   Redistribution tax policy should not be confused with predistribution policies . `` Predistribution '' is the idea that the state should try to prevent inequalities occurring in the first place rather than through the tax and benefits system once they have occurred . For example , a government predistribution policy might require employers to pay all employees a living wage , not just a minimum wage , as a `` bottom-up '' response to widespread income inequalities or high poverty rates .   Many alternate taxation proposals have been floated without the political will to alter the status quo . One example is the proposed `` Buffett Rule '' , which is a hybrid taxation model composed of opposing systems , intended to minimize the favoritism of the special interest tax design .   The effects of a redistribution system are actively debated on ethical and economic grounds . The subject includes analysis of its rationales , objectives , means , and policy effectiveness . A 2003 survey among 264 members of the American Economic Association found that 71.2 % of them support redistribution , while 20.4 % oppose it , and 7.2 % had mixed feelings .

An LED display is a flat panel display , which uses an array of light-emitting diodes as pixels for a video display . Their brightness allows them to be used outdoors in store signs and billboards , and in recent years they have also become commonly used in destination signs on public transport vehicles . LED displays are capable of providing general illumination in addition to visual display , as when used for stage lighting or other decorative ( as opposed to informational ) purposes .

Renewable energy law is a particular kind of energy law , and relates primarily to the transactional legal and policy issues that surround the development , implementation , and commercialization of renewable sources of energy , such as solar , wind , geothermal and tidal . Renewable energy , ( RE ) law also relates to the land use , siting , and finance issues encountered by developers of renewable energy projects .   Renewable energy law also encompasses policies that relate to renewable energy and legislative instruments that further encourage its growth . One such form of legislation is feed-in tariffs , which provide economic incentives to the developers of renewable energy projects by setting a fixed price for the sale of energy produced from renewable sources . Feed-in tariff laws also provide financial certainty , are more cost effective and less bureaucratic than other support schemes such as investment or production tax credits , quota based renewable portfolio standards ( RPS ) , and auction mechanisms . In addition , the feed-in tariff generates more competition , more jobs , and more rapid deployment for manufacturing ; it also does not pick technological winners , for instance between more mature wind power technology versus solar photovoltaics technology .


Question: Despite transient natural phenomena that momentarily cool the planet's surface, long-term increases in global warmth persist unabated; moreover, there remains no deceleration of escalating planetary thermal energy storage. This indicates an ongoing trend of climate change driven by factors beyond mere cyclical weather patterns, with sustained growth in overall Earth’s heat retention.

 Persistent Rise in Global Heat Content Amidst Short-Term Cooling Phases

The concept of a "global warming hiatus" refers to intervals where average global surface temperatures exhibit minimal fluctuation amidst ongoing trends of planetary heating. Throughout contemporary episodes of escalating atmospheric temperatures, numerous instances of stable fifteen-year spans emerge within historical records, coexisting alongside compelling proof of enduring thermal inclines; typically, climate assessments span three-decade durations.

In particular, assertions regarding a stagnation in global warming surfaced prominently throughout the timeframe spanning 1998-2013. The anomalously balmy El Niño event of 1998 acted as an anomaly relative to prevailing temperature trajectories, thereby imparting upon successive yearly metrics the semblance of cessation: come early 2006, certain observers posited that global warming had halted abruptly. A scholarly investigation conducted in 2009 revealed that epochs devoid of warming phenomena weren't extraordinary occurrences, while another research endeavor executed in 2011 demonstrated that accounting for recognized volatility upheld the uninterrupted progression of ascending temperatures. Heightened curiosity enveloped this topic circa 2013 preceding the unveiling of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fifth assessment report; notwithstanding apprehensions surrounding the brevity of a fifteen-year interval to ascertain significant tendencies accurately, the panel incorporated a segment dedicated to the notion of a hiatus—defined herein as markedly diminished incremental linear shifts across the fifteen-year expanse extending from 1998 through 2012 vis-a-vis those observed across six decades commencing in 1951 up until 2012. Multiple academic endeavors scrutinized plausible etiologies underlying the brief deceleration witnessed recently. Despite continuous accumulation of thermal energy within the broader climate framework owing to terrestrial surplus energy intake, accessible thermometric recordings proximate to earth's crust denote reduced velocity concerning superficial warming compared against antecedent temporal segments. Given that upper-atmospheric gaugings reveal that earth absorbs greater quantities of radiant energy than it subsequently emits outwardly into interstellar voids, conserved calorific output ought ostensibly engender enhanced warming within earth's meteorological milieu.

Research findings disseminated mid-July 2015 pertaining to an augmented National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration compilation undermine presumptions regarding the presence of said hiatus phase altogether, identifying zero indications suggestive of attenuated warming velocities even retrospectively. Academics engaged in alternative compilations greeted this inquiry warmly albeit expressing reservations regarding whether contemporary warming momentum fell below benchmarks established via

Raymond S. `` Ray '' Bradley is a climatologist and University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst , where he is also research director of the Climate System Research Center . Bradley 's work indicates that the warming of Earth 's climate system in the twentieth century is inexplicable via natural mechanisms .

The 12-hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods : a.m. ( from the Latin , ante meridiem , meaning before midday ) and p.m. ( post meridiem , meaning past midday ) . Each period consists of 12 hours numbered : 12 ( acting as zero ) , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , and 11 . The 24 hour/day cycle starts at 12 midnight ( often indicated as 12 a.m. ) , runs through 12 noon ( often indicated as 12 p.m. ) , and continues to the midnight at the end of the day .   The 12-hour clock was developed over time from the mid-second millennium BC to the 16th century AD .

Retrenchment is a technical term in fortification , where it is applied to a secondary work or series of works constructed in rear of existing defences to bar the further progress of the enemy who succeeds in breaching or storming these . An example was in the siege of Port Arthur in 1904 .   A retrenchment can also be referred to as an entrenchment .

A retention basin is used to manage stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and downstream erosion , and improve water quality in an adjacent river , stream , lake or bay . Sometimes called a wet pond or wet detention basin or stormwater management pond , it is an artificial lake with vegetation around the perimeter , and includes a permanent pool of water in its design .   It is distinguished from a detention basin , sometimes called a `` dry pond , '' which temporarily stores water after a storm , but eventually empties out at a controlled rate to a downstream water body . It also differs from an infiltration basin which is designed to direct stormwater to groundwater through permeable soils .   Wet ponds are frequently used for water quality improvement , groundwater recharge , flood protection , aesthetic improvement or any combination of these . Sometimes they act as a replacement for the natural absorption of a forest or other natural process that was lost when an area is developed . As such , these structures are designed to blend into neighborhoods and viewed as an amenity .   In urban areas , impervious surfaces ( roofs , roads ) reduce the time spent by rainfall before entering into the stormwater drainage system . If left unchecked , this will cause widespread flooding downstream . The function of a stormwater pond is to contain this surge and release it slowly . This slow release mitigates the size and intensity of storm-induced flooding on downstream receiving waters . Stormwater ponds also collect suspended sediments , which are often found in high concentrations in stormwater water due to upstream construction and sand applications to roadways .

Lake Hévíz is located in Hévíz , Hungary , near the western end of Lake Balaton , 5 mi from Keszthely .   It is the largest thermal lake in the world , which is available to bath . ( 47500 m2 in area ) . The flow of water is very strong and the water in the lake is completely replenished in every 72 hours .

A review is an evaluation of a publication , service , or company such as a movie ( a movie review ) , video game ( video game review ) , musical composition ( music review of a composition or recording ) , book ( book review ) ; a piece of hardware like a car , home appliance , or computer ; or an event or performance , such as a live music concert , play , musical theater show , dance show , or art exhibition . In addition to a critical evaluation , the review 's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit . More loosely , an author may review current events , trends , or items in the news . A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review . The New York Review of Books , for instance , is a collection of essays on literature , culture , and current affairs . National Review , founded by William F. Buckley , Jr. , is an influential conservative magazine , and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical .

Redshift quantization , also referred to as redshift periodicity , redshift discretization , preferred redshifts and redshift-magnitude bands , is the hypothesis that the redshifts of cosmologically distant objects ( in particular galaxies and quasars ) tend to cluster around multiples of some particular value .   In standard inflationary cosmological models , the redshift of cosmological bodies is ascribed to the expansion of the universe , with greater redshift indicating greater cosmic distance from the Earth ( see Hubble 's Law ) . This is referred to as cosmological redshift . Ruling out errors in measurement or analysis , quantized redshift of cosmological objects would either indicate that they are physically arranged in a quantized pattern around the Earth , or that there is an unknown mechanism for redshift unrelated to cosmic expansion , referred to as `` intrinsic redshift '' or `` non-cosmological redshift '' .   In 1973 , astronomer William G. Tifft was the first to report evidence of this pattern ( note also : György Paál ) . Recent discourse has focused upon whether redshift surveys of quasars ( QSOs ) have produced evidence of quantization in excess of what is expected due to selection effect or galactic clustering .   Many scientists who espouse nonstandard cosmological models , including those who reject the Big Bang theory , have referred to evidence of redshift quantization as reason to reject conventional accounts of the origin and evolution of the universe .   Redshift quantization is a fringe topic with no support from mainstream astronomers in recent times . Although there are a handful of published articles in the last decade in support of quantization , those views are rejected by the rest of the field .

A lander is a spacecraft which descends toward and comes to rest on the surface of an astronomical body . By contrast with an impact probe , which makes a hard landing and is damaged or destroyed so ceases to function after reaching the surface , a lander makes a soft landing after which the probe remains functional .   For bodies with atmospheres , the landing occurs after atmospheric entry . In these cases , landers may employ parachutes to slow down and to maintain a low terminal velocity . Sometimes small landing rockets are fired just before impact to reduce the impact velocity . Landing may be accomplished by controlled descent and setdown on landing gear , with the possible addition of a post-landing attachment mechanism for celestial bodies with low gravity . Some missions ( for example , Luna 9 and Mars Pathfinder ) used inflatable airbags to cushion the lander 's impact rather than a more traditional landing gear .   When a high velocity impact is planned not for just achieving the surface but for study of consequences of impact , the spacecraft is called an impactor .   Several terrestrial bodies have been subject of lander and/or impactor exploration : among them Earth 's Moon , the planets Venus , Mars , and Mercury , the Saturn moon Titan , the asteroids and comets .

Radium is a chemical element with symbol Ra and atomic number 88 . It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table , also known as the alkaline earth metals . Pure radium is silvery-white , but it readily reacts with nitrogen ( rather than oxygen ) on exposure to air , forming a black surface layer of radium nitride ( Ra3N2 ) . All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive , with the most stable isotope being radium-226 , which has a half-life of 1600 years and decays into radon gas ( specifically the isotope radon-222 ) . When radium decays , ionizing radiation is a product , which can excite fluorescent chemicals and cause radioluminescence .   Radium , in the form of radium chloride , was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898 . They extracted the radium compound from uraninite and published the discovery at the French Academy of Sciences five days later . Radium was isolated in its metallic state by Marie Curie and André-Louis Debierne through the electrolysis of radium chloride in 1911 .   In nature , radium is found in uranium and ( to a lesser extent ) thorium ores in trace amounts as small as a seventh of a gram per ton of uraninite . Radium is not necessary for living organisms , and adverse health effects are likely when it is incorporated into biochemical processes because of its radioactivity and chemical reactivity . Currently , other than its use in nuclear medicine , radium has no commercial applications ; formerly , it was used as a radioactive source for radioluminescent devices and also in radioactive quackery for its supposed curative powers . Today , these former applications are no longer in vogue because radium 's toxicity has since become known , and less dangerous isotopes are used instead in radioluminescent devices .

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 .


Question: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have a minor role in contributing to the greenhouse effect leading to planetary heating.

 Chlorofluorocarbons' Role in Climate Change
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), though less notorious contributors compared to CO2 and CH4, still play a part in enhancing the greenhouse effect. These synthetic compounds were widely utilized during the mid-20th century across refrigeration systems, aerosol propellants, and foam manufacturing before being phased out under international agreements recognizing their detrimental impact on stratospheric ozone layers. Despite comprising only a fraction of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions—approximately 0.9% according to recent assessments—their high global warming potentials mean they significantly affect long-term planetary temperatures when accumulated.
Historically, concentrations of chlorofluorocarbons peaked around the late 1980s following extensive use without regard for environmental consequences. Since then, concerted global action led to reduced levels; however, residual amounts persistently trap heat contributing minimally yet notably to ongoing climate alterations. Unlike more prevalent greenhouse agents like carbon dioxide emitted through burning fossil fuels or agricultural practices, CFCs originate predominantly from industrial chemical synthesis processes now heavily regulated but once ubiquitous throughout developed economies post-WWII era.
While mitigation strategies targeting major sources remain critical, addressing lesser-known pollutants such as CFCs underscores comprehensive approaches necessary for curbing overall atmospheric degradation. Continued monitoring ensures compliance with established protocols aimed at phasing down remaining uses while fostering innovation into safer alternatives minimizing ecological disruptions associated with persistent organic pollutants impacting sensitive regions globally. Ultimately, understanding nuanced contributions helps refine policy interventions ensuring sustainable development pathways aligned against irreversible climate tipping points threatening future generations’ well-being.

Radiative flux , also known as radiative flux density or radiation flux , is the amount of power radiated through a given area , in the form of photons or other elementary particles , typically measured in W/m2 . It is used in astronomy to determine the magnitude and spectral class of a star . Radiative flux also acts as a generalization of heat flux , which is equal to the radiative flux when restricted to the infrared spectrum .   When radiative flux is incident on a surface , it is often called irradiance . Flux emitted from a surface may be called radiant exitance or radiant emittance .

Regional effects of global warming are long-term significant changes in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region due to global warming . The world average temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases , especially carbon dioxide . When the global temperature changes , the changes in climate are not expected to be uniform across the Earth . In particular , land areas change more quickly than oceans , and northern high latitudes change more quickly than the tropics , and the margins of biome regions change faster than do their cores .   Regional effects of global warming vary in nature . Some are the result of a generalised global change , such as rising temperature , resulting in local effects , such as melting ice . In other cases , a change may be related to a change in a particular ocean current or weather system . In such cases , the regional effect may be disproportionate and will not necessarily follow the global trend . The increasing temperatures from greenhouse gases have been causing sea levels to rise for many years .   There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate : melting or forming ice , changing the hydrological cycle ( of evaporation and precipitation ) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere . The coast can also be considered a region , and will suffer severe impacts from sea level rise .

A reduction drive is a mechanical device to shift rotational speed . A planetary reduction drive is a small scale version using ball bearings in an epicyclic arrangement instead of toothed gears .   Reduction drives are used in engines of all kinds to increase the amount of torque per revolution of a shaft : the gearbox of any car is a ubiquitous example of a reduction drive . Common household uses are washing machines , food blenders and window-winders .   Planetary reduction drives are typically attached between the shaft of the variable capacitor and the tuning knob of any radio , to allow fine adjustments of the tuning capacitor with smooth movements of the knob . Planetary drives are used in this situation to avoid `` backlash '' , which makes tuning easier . If the capacitor drive has backlash , when one attempts to tune in a station , the tuning knob will feel sloppy and it will be hard to perform small adjustments . Gear-drives can be made to have no backlash by using split gears and spring tension but the shaft bearings have to be very precise .

A review is an evaluation of a publication , service , or company such as a movie ( a movie review ) , video game ( video game review ) , musical composition ( music review of a composition or recording ) , book ( book review ) ; a piece of hardware like a car , home appliance , or computer ; or an event or performance , such as a live music concert , play , musical theater show , dance show , or art exhibition . In addition to a critical evaluation , the review 's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit . More loosely , an author may review current events , trends , or items in the news . A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review . The New York Review of Books , for instance , is a collection of essays on literature , culture , and current affairs . National Review , founded by William F. Buckley , Jr. , is an influential conservative magazine , and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical .

0 ( zero ; BrE : -LSB- / ˈzɪərəʊ / -RSB- or AmE : -LSB- / ˈziːroʊ / -RSB- ) is both a number and the numerical digit used to represent that number in numerals . The number 0 fulfills a central role in mathematics as the additive identity of the integers , real numbers , and many other algebraic structures . As a digit , 0 is used as a placeholder in place value systems . Names for the number 0 in English include zero , nought or ( US ) naught ( -LSB- ˈnɔːt -RSB- ) , nil , or -- in contexts where at least one adjacent digit distinguishes it from the letter `` O '' -- oh or o ( -LSB- ˈoʊ -RSB- ) . Informal or slang terms for zero include zilch and zip . Ought and aught ( -LSB- ˈɔːt -RSB- ) , as well as cipher , have also been used historically .
