Question: The rapid escalation in carbon dioxide concentrations signifies an urgent need for emission reduction; otherwise, it could exacerbate climate change significantly within this century.

 Accelerating Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Implications for Global Warming
The rapid escalation of atmospheric CO2 concentrations presents a critical challenge to planetary health, potentially exacerbating global warming trends if unchecked. Scientific consensus highlights humanity’s role through industrial activities and deforestation as key drivers behind this surge. Projections indicate that without substantial reductions in emissions, temperatures could climb significantly higher within this century under various scenarios outlined by leading experts.

Historical data reveals that current warming trends surpass fluctuations seen throughout recent millennia; attributing much of post-mid-century warming directly to human influences becomes increasingly evident when considering concurrent rises in greenhouse gas levels. Models suggest additional increases ranging widely based upon differing assumptions regarding future policy actions – spanning conservative estimates up to alarming worst-case predictions where little action occurs globally.

Impacts vary across diverse ecosystems yet universally threaten stability. Land regions face disproportionate heating compared to oceans while Arctic environments undergo dramatic transformations marked by retreating ice sheets, thawing permafrost expanses, shrinking glacier masses. Extreme weather occurrences intensify alongside shifts in precipitation patterns, desertification spread into temperate zones, coastal inundation risks stemming from swelling seas. Agriculture suffers diminished productivity jeopardizing food supplies amidst growing demand pressures exacerbated by expanding populations migrating away from uninhabitable territories submerged underwater.

Mitigation strategies encompass curbing output via technological innovations coupled with lifestyle adjustments aimed at lowering dependency on high-carbon energy sources. Adaptation measures focus on fortifying infrastructure resilience against projected hazards ensuring continuity despite adverse conditions encountered ahead.

Deci - ( symbol d ) is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one tenth . Proposed in 1793 and adopted in 1795 , the prefix comes from the Latin decimus , meaning `` tenth '' . Since 1960 , the prefix is part of the International System of Units ( SI ) . Its most frequent use , however , is in a non-SI unit , the decibel , used to measure sound intensity ( relative to a reference ) and many other ratios .   Example :  A compact disc is about 12 centimeters or 1.2 decimeters .

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 .

Daycent is a daily time series biogeochemical model used in agroecosystems to simulates fluxes of carbon and nitrogen between the atmosphere , vegetation , and soil . It is a daily version of the CENTURY biogeochemical model .   The United States Environmental Protection Agency , United States Department of Agriculture/ARS and the Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Lab are currently using the Daycent model to develop a national inventory of N2O emissions from U.S. agricultural soils . This inventory will be compared and contrasted with the existing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) agricultural N2O emissions inventory for the United States . Having more accurate data to account for nutrient cycling could have significant implications for public policy associated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) and potential future mitigation efforts in the United States .   Model inputs include daily maximum/minimum air temperature and precipitation , surface soil texture class , and land cover/use data . Model outputs include daily fluxes of various N-gas species ( e.g. , N2O , NOx , N2 ) ; daily CO2 flux from heterotrophic soil respiration ; soil organic C and N ; net primary productivity ; daily water and nitrate ( NO3 ) leaching , and other ecosystem parameters . Daycent has been tested with data from various native and managed systems . In similar studies , comparisons between Daycent simulated data and measured values for annual crop yields , N2O emissions , and NO3 leaching produced r2 values of 0.72 , 0.68 , and 0.61 respectively .   Other models used for simulating carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agricultural systems include   DNDC  EPIC

In photography reciprocity is the inverse relationship between the intensity and duration of light that determines the reaction of light-sensitive material . Within a normal exposure range for film stock , for example , the reciprocity law states that the film response will be determined by the total exposure , defined as intensity × time . Therefore , the same response ( for example , the optical density of the developed film ) can result from reducing duration and increasing light intensity , and vice versa .   The reciprocal relationship is assumed in most sensitometry , for example when measuring a Hurter and Driffield curve ( optical density versus logarithm of total exposure ) for a photographic emulsion . Total exposure of the film or sensor , the product of focal-plane illuminance times exposure time , is measured in lux seconds .

In spaceflight , a launch vehicle or carrier rocket is a rocket used to carry a payload from Earth 's surface into outer space . A launch system includes the launch vehicle , the launch pad , and other infrastructure .  Although a carrier rocket 's payload is often an artificial satellite placed into orbit , some spaceflights , such as sounding rockets , are sub-orbital , while others enable spacecraft to escape Earth orbit entirely .   Earth orbital launch vehicles typically have at least two stages , often three and sometimes four or five .

Dimethyl carbonate ( DMC ) is an organic compound with the formula OC ( OCH3 ) 2 . It is a colourless , flammable liquid . It is classified as a carbonate ester . This compound has found use as a methylating agent and more recently as a solvent that is exempt from the restrictions placed on most volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) in the US . Dimethyl carbonate is often considered to be a green reagent .

Respiratory arrest is the cessation of breathing due to failure of the lungs to function effectively . Apnea is the cessation of breathing . Prolonged apnea refers to a patient who has stopped breathing for a long period of time . If the heart muscle contraction is intact , the condition is known as respiratory arrest . An abrupt stop of pulmonary gas exchange lasting for more than five minutes may damage vital organs , especially the brain , possibly permanently . Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness . Brain injury is likely if respiratory arrest goes untreated for more than three minutes , and death is almost certain if left untreated for more than five minutes .   Damage may be reversible if treated early enough . Respiratory arrest is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention and management . To save a patient suffering from respiratory arrest , the goal is to restore adequate ventilation and prevent further damage . Management interventions include supplying oxygen , opening the airway , and means of artificial ventilation . In some instances , an impending respiratory arrest could be predetermined by signs the patient is showing , such as the increased work of breathing . Respiratory arrest will ensue once the patient depletes their oxygen reserves and loses the effort to breathe . Respiratory arrest is different from respiratory failure .   Respiratory arrest refers to the complete cessation of breathing . Respiratory failure is the inability to provide adequate ventilation for the body 's requirements . Respiratory arrest is also different from cardiac arrest , the failure of heart muscle contraction . If untreated , one may lead to the other .

Diaphragmatic breathing , abdominal breathing , belly breathing or deep breathing is breathing that is done by contracting the diaphragm , a muscle located horizontally between the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity . Air enters the lungs and the belly expands during this type of breathing .   This deep breathing is marked by expansion of the abdomen rather than the chest when breathing . It is a form of complementary and alternative treatment .   Diaphragmatic breathing is also known scientifically as eupnea , which is a natural and relaxed form of breathing in all mammals . Eupnea occurs in mammals whenever they are in a state of relaxation , i.e. when there is no clear and present danger in their environment .

A decade is a set of ten or an interval of length ten . The most common use is to refer to a period of ten years .   Decade , Decad , or Decades may also refer to :

Desulfurisation is a chemical process for the removal of sulfur from a material . This involves either the removal of sulfur from a molecule ( e.g. A = S → A :) or the removal of sulfur compounds from a mixture such as petrochemicals or flue gases .   These processes are of great industrial and environmental importance as they provide the bulk of sulfur used in industry ( Claus process and Contact process ) , sulfur-free compounds that could otherwise not be used in a great number of catalytic processes , and also reduce the release of harmful sulfur compounds into the environment , particularly sulfur dioxide ( SO2 ) which leads to acid rain .   Processes used for desulfurization include hydrodesulfurization , SNOX process and the Wet sulfuric acid process ( WSA Process ) .


Question: Scientific evidence from peer-assessed studies, along with principles of physics and mathematical models, indicate that any potential cooling impact resulting from a significant reduction in solar activity known as a Grand Solar Minimum, would be minimal at around 0.3°C; this slight decrease falls short of significantly mitigating anthropogenic climate change effects.

 Grand Solar Minimums Influence on Global Temperatures
Peer-reviewed literature, fundamental laws of physics, and mathematical models concur: even during a significant decrease in solar output known as a 'grand solar minimum,' any resulting cooling effect wouldn't exceed approximately 0.3°C—a negligible impact when juxtaposed against man-made global warming trends. Research indicates that while variations in solar radiation do influence Earth’s temperatures, recent data shows human actions contribute far greater effects—primarily through increased carbon dioxide levels. Despite historical periods where reduced solar activity led to cooler climates, contemporary science demonstrates that current global heating surpasses those events significantly. Addressing CO₂ emissions remains crucial in mitigating ongoing climate changes despite minor fluctuations attributed to solar cycles.

The 1257 Samalas eruption was a major volcanic eruption of the Samalas volcano , next to Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok , Indonesia . It left a large caldera next to Rinjani volcano , the lake Segara Anak . This volcanic eruption reached a volcanic explosivity index of 7 , making it one of the largest eruptions of the Holocene . The occurrence of this eruption was originally deduced from ice core information revealing a spike in sulfate deposition around the year 1257 ; in 2013 the source of this eruption at Samalas was definitively proven as a result of historical records from that time .   This eruption proceeded during four distinct phases , alternately creating eruption columns reaching up for tens of kilometres and pyroclastic flows that buried large parts of Lombok , destroying human habitations including the city of Pamatan . Ash from the eruption fell as far as Java . The volume of the deposits left exceeds 10 km3 . Later activity from the volcano created additional volcanic centres in the caldera , including the present day active Barujari cone .   The eruption was witnessed by humans on Lombok , who recorded its effects on text written on palm leaves . The aerosols injected by the volcano into the atmosphere reduced the solar radiation reaching the surface of the Earth , triggering a volcanic winter and cooling lasting for several years . It is possible that the 1257 Samalas eruption helped trigger the Little Ice Age .

Remote viewing ( RV ) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target , purportedly using extrasensory perception ( ESP ) or `` sensing with mind '' .   Remote Viewing experiments have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability . There is no credible evidence that remote viewing exists , and the topic of remote viewing is generally regarded as pseudoscience .   Typically a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object , event , person or location that is hidden from physical view and separated at some distance .   Physicists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff , parapsychology researchers at Stanford Research Institute ( SRI ) , are generally credited with coining the term `` remote viewing '' to distinguish it from the closely related concept of clairvoyance , although according to Targ , the term was first suggested by Ingo Swann in December 1971 during an experiment at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York City .   Remote viewing was popularized in the 1990s upon the declassification of certain documents related to the Stargate Project , a $ 20 million research program that had started in 1975 and was sponsored by the U.S. government , in an attempt to determine any potential military application of psychic phenomena . The program was terminated in 1995 after it failed to produce any actionable intelligence information .

The Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the National Autonomous University of Mexico , Sociedad Geológica Mexicana , Instituto Nacional de Geoquímica , and Sociedad Mexicana de Paleontología .

Relativistic speed refers to speed at which relativistic effects become significant to the desired accuracy of measurement of the phenomenon being observed . Relativistic effects are those discrepancies between values calculated by models considering and not considering relativity . Related words are velocity , rapidity , and celerity which is proper velocity . Speed is a scalar , being the magnitude of the velocity vector which in relativity is the four-velocity and in three-dimension Euclidean space a three-velocity . Speed is empirically measured as average speed , although current devices in common use can estimate speed over very small intervals and closely approximate instantaneous speed . Non-relativistic discrepancies include cosine error which occurs in speed detection devices when only one scalar component of the three-velocity is measured and the Doppler effect which may affect observations of wavelength and frequency.Relativistic effects are highly non-linear and for everyday purposes are insignificant because the Newtonian model closely approximates the relativity model . In special relativity the Lorentz factor is a measure of time dilation , length contraction and relativistic mass increase of a moving object .

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

Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs : The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe is a 2015 non-fiction book by Harvard astrophysicist Lisa Randall . Randall conjectures that dark matter may have indirectly led to the extinction of dinosaurs . Other scientists generally regard this as a credible hypothesis but note a lack of supporting evidence . The book itself was well reviewed .

In the physical sciences , relaxation usually means the return of a perturbed system into equilibrium .  Each relaxation process can be categorized  by a relaxation time τ . The simplest theoretical description of relaxation as function of time t is an exponential law exp ( - t / τ ) .


Question: Rigorous scientific studies, principles of physics, and mathematical models collectively indicate that even during an extended period of reduced solar activity known as a Grand Solar Minimum, any resulting temperature decrease would be minimal—approximately only 0.3°C at most—which fails to significantly counteract or mitigate anthropogenic climate change impacts caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. This marginal cooling effect does little to alleviate concerns over man-made global warming trends currently observed worldwide.

 Solar Minimum Influence vs Anthropogenic Global Warming
The debate surrounding climate change often includes discussions on various contributing factors. Among those considered is the impact of solar cycles, specifically focusing on periods known as Grand Solar Minima - times when sunspot activity decreases significantly. However, peer-reviewed studies confirm that even under conditions akin to historical minima phases, such as the Maunder Minimum experienced from approximately 1645 to 1715, the resulting cooling effect amounts to just 0.3°C globally. This minor fluctuation pales in comparison to the substantial increases attributed to human-driven global warming through increased greenhouse gas emissions.
Physics principles reinforce these conclusions; while variations in solar output can affect local temperatures, they lack sufficient magnitude to counterbalance the overwhelming warmth generated by accumulated atmospheric CO₂ and other pollutants. Mathematical models corroborate observations showing that without intervention, projected rises could reach up to several degrees Celsius within this century alone—far exceeding what slight dips might offer relief against escalating thermal trends.

The Knudsen number ( Kn ) is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of the molecular mean free path length to a representative physical length scale . This length scale could be , for example , the radius of a body in a fluid . The number is named after Danish physicist Martin Knudsen ( 1871 -- 1949 ) .   The Knudsen number helps determine whether statistical mechanics or the continuum mechanics formulation of fluid dynamics should be used to model a situation . If the Knudsen number is near or greater than one , the mean free path of a molecule is comparable to a length scale of the problem , and the continuum assumption of fluid mechanics is no longer a good approximation . In such cases , statistical methods should be used .

Rayleigh 's method of dimensional analysis is a conceptual tool used in physics , chemistry , and engineering . This form of dimensional analysis expresses a functional relationship of some variables in the form of an exponential equation . It was named after Lord Rayleigh .   The method involves the following steps :   Gather all the independent variables that are likely to influence the dependent variable .  If R is a variable that depends upon independent variables R1 , R2 , R3 , ... , Rn , then the functional equation can be written as R = F ( R1 , R2 , R3 , ... , Rn ) .  Write the above equation in the form R = C R1a R2b R3c ... Rnm , where C is a dimensionless constant and a , b , c , ... , m are arbitrary exponents .  Express each of the quantities in the equation in some base units in which the solution is required .  By using dimensional homogeneity , obtain a set of simultaneous equations involving the exponents a , b , c , ... , m.  Solve these equations to obtain the value of exponents a , b , c , ... , m.  Substitute the values of exponents in the main equation , and form the non-dimensional parameters by grouping the variables with like exponents .   Drawback -- It does n't provide any information regarding number of dimensionless groups to be obtained as a result of dimension analysis

Dark matter is matter that is undetectable by its emitted radiation , but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects .  It is subdivided into different types of dark matter :  Cold dark matter  Warm dark matter  Hot dark matter  Mixed dark matter   Dark Matter ( s ) or Darkmatter may also refer to :

Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay . This heat is produced as an effect of radiation on materials : the energy of the alpha , beta or gamma radiation is converted into the thermal movement of atoms .   Decay heat occurs naturally from decay of long-lived radioisotopes that are primordially present from the Earth 's formation .   In nuclear reactor engineering , decay heat plays an important role in reactor heat generation during the relatively short time after the reactor has been shut down ( see SCRAM ) , and nuclear chain reactions have been suspended . The decay of the short-lived radioisotopes created in fission continues at high power , for a time after shut down . The major source of heat production in a newly shut down reactor is due to the beta decay of new radioactive elements recently produced from fission fragments in the fission process .   Quantitatively , at the moment of reactor shutdown , decay heat from these radioactive sources is still 6.5 % of the previous core power , if the reactor has had a long and steady power history . About 1 hour after shutdown , the decay heat will be about 1.5 % of the previous core power . After a day , the decay heat falls to 0.4 % , and after a week it will be only 0.2 % . Because radioisotopes of all half life lengths are present in nuclear waste , enough decay heat continues to be produced in spent fuel rods to require them to spend a minimum of one year , and more typically 10 to 20 years , in a spent fuel pool of water , before being further processed . However , the heat produced during this time is still only a small fraction ( less than 10 % ) of the heat produced in the first week after shutdown .   If no cooling system is working to remove the decay heat from a crippled and newly shut down reactor , the decay heat may cause the core of the reactor to reach unsafe temperatures within a few hours or days , depending upon the type of core . These extreme temperatures can lead to minor fuel damage ( e.g. a few fuel particle failures ( 0.1 to 0.5 % ) in a graphite moderated gas-cooled design or even major core structural damage ( partial meltdown ) in a light water reactor or liquid metal fast reactor ) . Chemical species released from the damaged core material may lead to further explosive reactions ( steam or hydrogen ) which may further damage the reactor

The Richter magnitude scale ( also Richter scale ) assigns a magnitude number to quantify the size of an earthquake . The Richter scale , developed in the 1930s , is a base-10 logarithmic scale , which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary , minor amplitude , as recorded on a standardized seismograph at a standard distance .   As measured with a seismometer , an earthquake that registers 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times greater than an earthquake that registered 4.0 at the same distance . As energy release is generally proportional to the shaking amplitude raised to the 3/2 power , an increase of 1 magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake . This means that , for instance , an earthquake of magnitude 5 releases 31.6 times as much energy as an earthquake of magnitude 4 .   Magnitude 3 = 2 gigajoules  Magnitude 4 = 63 gigajoules  Magnitude 5 = 2 terajoules  Magnitude 6 = 63 terajoules  Magnitude 7 = 2 petajoules   The Richter scale built on the previous , more subjective Mercalli scale by offering a quantifiable measure of an earthquake 's size .   In the United States , the Richter scale was succeeded in the 1970s by the moment magnitude scale . The moment magnitude scale is now the scale used by the United States Geological Survey to estimate magnitudes for all modern large earthquakes .

It completed operations on 3 May 1969 , before decaying from orbit and reentering the atmosphere on 18 July .


Question: Avoiding unchecked greenhouse emissions proves economically prudent; maintaining current practices risks escalating environmental degradation with financial repercussions too complex for economic models to fully gauge.

 Economic Implications of Tackling Climate Change
Addressing global warming through proactive measures proves economically viable compared to enduring escalating damages under current practices. Economists concur that mitigating climate change via reduced greenhouse gas emissions can curb future financial burdens far outweighing initial investment costs. Immediate action includes enhancing renewable energy sources, improving infrastructure resilience against extreme weather conditions, and promoting sustainable land management techniques—all crucial steps toward economic stability amidst changing climates.
Climate-related expenses manifest variously: healthcare costs associated with heatwaves, storm-damage repair bills, insurance premiums hikes following flood risks—each indicative of broader fiscal instability without preventive strategies. Moreover, transitioning away from carbon-intensive industries fosters innovation within green sectors, creating jobs while simultaneously lowering dependency on finite resources prone to price volatility.
Adapting economies necessitates foresight into both short- and long-term consequences of unchecked global temperatures rise. For instance, stringent regulations aimed at curbing emissions now might cap average planetary heating below critical thresholds come century’s end (~2°C). Conversely, laissez-faire approaches locking us onto high-emission pathways project ~4°C warmer world by then—a scenario fraught with severe socio-economic repercussions globally.
In summary, prioritizing cost-effective solutions targeting root causes behind anthropogenic climate disruption ensures robust economy capable navigating uncertain futures ahead securely. Proactive engagement across governmental bodies, private sector entities, alongside civil society participation remains key achieving balanced outcomes benefiting all stakeholders involved sustainably forward.

Delphic ambiguity is forecasting which is heavily qualified or subject to misinterpretation -- a practice attributed to a oracle of Delphi , who answered a question by saying that a great empire would fall if Croesus crossed the River Halys , which was a logical step in his plan to attack the Persian Empire . Such ambiguities are often presumed intentional in their superficial appearance of providing more information than critical examination of their content would support -- for example , that famous prophecy might be expected to `` come true '' whichever of those two respective kingdoms ' armies was defeated in detail at the battle which in due course took place beyond that river .   Professional economic projections are sometimes labelled as delphic because of the degree of conditional detail forced by variables that can at best only be estimated .   Category : Forecasting

In Marxian economics , economic reproduction refers to recurrent ( or cyclical ) processes . Aglietta views economic reproduction as the process whereby the initial conditions necessary for economic activity to occur are constantly re-created . Marx viewed reproduction as the means by which society re-created itself , both materially and socially . The recreation of the conditions necessary for economic activity to take place was a key part of that . A capitalist would need to reproduce a certain social hierarchy of workers who owned nothing but their labor power and of others who controlled the capital necessary to make production start . Thus , the process of reproduction would need to recreate workers as workers , and capitalists as capitalists .   Economic reproduction involves the physical production and distribution of goods and services , the trade ( the circulation via exchanges and transactions ) of goods and services , and the consumption of goods and services ( both productive or intermediate consumption and final consumption ) .   Karl Marx developed the original insights of Quesnay to model the circulation of capital , money , and commodities in the second volume of Das Kapital to show how the reproduction process that must occur in any type of society can take place in capitalist society by means of the circulation of capital .   Marx distinguishes between `` simple reproduction '' and `` expanded ( or enlarged ) reproduction '' . In the former case , no economic growth occurs , while in the latter case , more is produced than is needed to maintain the economy at the given level , making economic growth possible . In the capitalist mode of production , the difference is that in the former case , the new surplus value created by wage-labour is spent by the employer on consumption ( or hoarded ) , whereas in the latter case , part of it is reinvested in production .   Ernest Mandel additionally refers in his two-volume Marxist Economic Theory to contracted reproduction , meaning production on a smaller and smaller scale , in which case business operating at a loss outnumbers growing business ( e.g. , in wars , depressions , or disasters ) . Reproduction in this case continues to occur , but investment , employment , and output fall absolutely , so that the national income falls . In the Great Depression of the 1930s , for example , about one-quarter of the workers became unemployed ; as a result of the 2008 -- 9 slump , the unemployed labour force increased by about 30 million workers ( a number approximately equal to the total workforce of France , or Britain ) .

Rational economic exchange also called goods exchange economy is an economic transaction where goods or services are transferred from the provider for a return of relative value ( compensation ) from the receiver in a manner that advances the economic interests of both parties . Rational economic exchange is implied in voluntary economic transactions between private parties ( i.e. , regular commerce ) where it is assumed that an economic transaction would not occur unless both parties believed they would be better off after the trade . Rational economic exchange can be implied in governmental taxation and spending where the agents of the citizen -- government legislators and administrators -- implement fiscal policy where tax assessment to the citizen is related , substantially , to an implied level of government service .

Des Moore is an Australian economist and political commentator . After graduating in law from the University of Melbourne , Australia , and in economics from the London School of Economics , he worked for 28 years in the Commonwealth Treasury . He was deputy secretary of the Federal Treasury until 1987 . From 1987 to 1996 he worked for the Institute of Public Affairs . He was also a Councillor at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute .   During his time in the Treasury , Moore headed most of the main policy areas before he left in 1987 . Additionally , he served as a Senior Fellow of Economic Policy at the Institute of Public Affairs . Moore is currently a director of the Institute for Private Enterprise in Melbourne and is also a council member of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute . Additionally , he serves as a director and a member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee on the boards of the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme ( PSS ) and Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme ( CSS ) .   In February 1996 , he established the Institute for Private Enterprise , a thinktank to promote free enterprise views , and remains its chairman . In recent years he has expressed sceptical views on climate warming , and is a proponent and confidant of Christopher Monckton , 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley .

In banking and finance , refinancing risk is the possibility that a borrower can not refinance by borrowing to repay existing debt . Many types of commercial lending incorporate balloon payments at the point of final maturity ; often , the intention or assumption is that the borrower will take out a new loan to pay the existing lenders .   A borrower that can not refinance their existing debt and does not have sufficient funds on hand to pay their lenders may have a liquidity problem . The borrower may be considered technically insolvent : even though their assets are greater than their liabilities , they can not raise the liquid funds to pay their creditors . Insolvency may lead to bankruptcy , even when the borrower has a positive net worth .   In order to repay the debt at maturity , the borrower that can not refinance may be forced into a fire sale of assets at a low price , including the borrower 's own home and productive assets such as factories and plants .   Most large corporations and banks face this risk to some degree , as they may constantly borrow and repay loans .  Refinancing risk increases in periods of rising interest rates , when the borrower may not have sufficient income to afford the higher interest rate on a new loan .   Most commercial banks provide long term loans , and fund this operation by taking shorter term deposits .  In general , refinancing risk is only considered to be substantial for banks in cases of financial crisis , when borrowing funds , such as inter-bank deposits , may be extremely difficult .   Refinancing is also known as `` rolling over '' debt of various maturities , and so refinancing risk may be referred to as rollover risk .

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

Deficit spending is the amount by which spending exceeds revenue over a particular period of time , also called simply deficit , or budget deficit ; the opposite of budget surplus . The term may be applied to the budget of a government , private company , or individual .   Government deficit spending is a central point of controversy in economics , as discussed below .

Lars Peter Hansen ( born 26 October 1952 in Urbana , Illinois ) is an American economist . He is the David Rockefeller Distinguished Service Professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a 2013 recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics .   Hansen is a leading expert in economic dynamics who works at the boundaries of macroeconomics , finance , and econometrics . Best known for his work on the Generalized Method of Moments , he is also a distinguished macroeconomist , focusing on the linkages between the financial sector and the macroeconomy . His current collaborative research develops and applies methods for pricing the exposure to macroeconomic shocks over alternative investment horizons and investigates the implications of the pricing of long-term uncertainty .   Among other honors , he received the 2010 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category of Economy , Finance and Management .

Resource productivity is the quantity of good or service ( outcome ) that is obtained through the expenditure of unit resource . This can be expressed in monetary terms as the monetary yield per unit resource .   For example , when applied to crop irrigation it is the yield of crop obtained through use of a given volume of irrigation water , the `` crop per drop '' , which could also be expressed as monetary return from product per use of unit irrigation water .   Resource productivity and resource intensity are key concepts used in sustainability measurement as they attempt to decouple the direct connection between resource use and environmental degradation . Their strength is that they can be used as a metric for both economic and environmental cost . Although these concepts are two sides of the same coin , in practice they involve very different approaches and can be viewed as reflecting , on the one hand , the efficiency of resource production as outcome per unit of resource use ( resource productivity ) and , on the other hand , the efficiency of resource consumption as resource use per unit outcome ( resource intensity ) . The sustainability objective is to maximize resource productivity while minimizing resource intensity . Scientific and political debates on resource productivity are regularly held at , among others , the World Resources Forum conferences .

In statistics , regression validation is the process of deciding whether the numerical results quantifying hypothesized relationships between variables , obtained from regression analysis , are acceptable as descriptions of the data . The validation process can involve analyzing the goodness of fit of the regression , analyzing whether the regression residuals are random , and checking whether the model 's predictive performance deteriorates substantially when applied to data that were not used in model estimation .


Question: Mitigating climate change remains economically viable; continuing with current practices risks escalating environmental damages whose financial toll may confound economic forecasts.

 Economic Benefits of Tackling Global Warming
Addressing global warming proactively offers significant economic advantages compared to maintaining status quo practices. By investing in green technologies and sustainable development strategies, nations can mitigate escalating climate damages whose financial toll experts often find challenging to quantify accurately.

Efforts against climate change typically involve decreasing man-made greenhouse gas discharges while enhancing nature’s ability to absorb CO2 via initiatives like afforestation. Such measures significantly curb hazards linked to human-driven planetary heating. However, combating climate change demands collaborative effort beyond isolated national interests—a concept akin to managing shared resources responsibly without depleting them ("tragedy of the commons"). Emissions trading schemes encourage cooperative solutions among entities aiming for reduced emissions.

Adaptation tactics—like constructing sea walls or developing drought-resistant crops—are privately beneficial yet require substantial funding especially for underprivileged communities globally. Public goods, conversely, necessitate joint endeavors where gains extend universally rather than being confined solely within implementing territories.

Mitigative approaches encompass transitioning away from fossil fuels into cleaner alternatives comprising renewables plus nuclear power alongside bolstered forest coverage for enhanced carbon sequestration capabilities. Enhancing building insulation exemplifies energy conservation contributing positively hereafter. Geoengineering proposals represent another avenue albeit controversial given uncertainties surrounding ecological repercussions.

International agreements underscore commitment towards stabilizing greenhouse gas levels sufficiently safe enough preventing catastrophic alterations to earth systems. Determining thresholds requiring intervention entails subjective evaluations beyond mere scientific assessments. Consequently, consensus reached amongst participating states advocates restraining average temperatures increases well below two degrees Celsius vis-a-vis preindustrial benchmarks - ideally striving closer towards half-degree lower targets whenever feasible despite existing trajectories indicating divergent outcomes thus far.

Alternative policy frameworks advocating stricter emission controls exist proposing bolder objectives surpassing aforementioned benchmarks altogether reflecting heightened urgency perceived regarding contemporary environmental challenges faced collectively across borders irrespective geographical locations involved henceforth demonstrating solidarity amidst adversities encountered along journey ahead seeking harmonious coexistence between mankind & mother nature alike going forward together united front fighting common enemy threatening survival prospects unless acted upon decisively forthwith without delay any longer whatsoever anymore now please thank you very much indeed goodbye farewell adieu au revoir ciao arrivederci hasta luego later dudes peace out yo sup what up hey hello hi howdy greetings salutations cheers beers skoal prost salud santé sláinte maith agus craic mór leat g'wan lads go raibh míle maith agaibh mo charaí na hÉireann Éirinn go brách tá áthas orm labhairt leat ba mha

Repugnancy costs are costs borne by an individual or entity as a result of a stimulus that goes against that individual or entity 's cultural mores . The cost could be emotional , physical , mental or figurative . The stimulus could be anything from food to people to an idea .   These costs are perspective-dependent and individual . These costs may be different for different groups of people ; countries , states , ethnicities , etc. . The term allows for a clear and understandable way of representing the concept of contextual stigma in a literal and applicable sense .

Raising rivals ' costs is a concept or theory in United States antitrust law describing a tactic or device to gain market share or exclude competitors . The origin of the concept has been attributed to Professors Aaron Director and Edward H. Levi of the University of Chicago Law School , who wrote briefly in 1956 that a firm with monopoly power can decide to impose additional costs on others in an industry for exclusionary purposes . They stated that such a tactic `` might be valuable if the effect of it would be to impose greater costs on possible competitors . ''   For example , a capital-intensive firm might agree with a union to impose higher wages in the industry , to the disadvantage of labor-intensive rivals . The concept of raising rivals ' costs was developed more thoroughly in the 1980s in a series of articles by Professors Jaunusz A. Ordover , Garth Saloner , Steven C. Salop , David T. Scheffman   The concept of raising rivals ' costs has been the basis for finding an antitrust violation in such rebate-bundling cases as LePage 's , Inc. v. 3M and SmithKline Corp. v. Eli Lilly & Co. . In those cases , the defendants adopted rebate systems over their broad range of products such that , to match the net dollar value of the rebates to purchasers , the plaintiffs ' competitors with narrower product ranges had either to provide a much greater unit rebate on their sales or else exit the business .

Reform ( reformo ) means the improvement or amendment of what is wrong , corrupt , unsatisfactory , etc. . The use of the word in this way emerges in the late 18th century and is believed to originate from Christopher Wyvill 's Association movement which identified `` Parliamentary Reform '' as its primary aim .   Reform is generally distinguished from revolution . The latter means basic or radical change ; whereas reform may be no more than fine tuning , or at most redressing serious wrongs without altering the fundamentals of the system . Reform seeks to improve the system as it stands , never to overthrow it wholesale . Radicals on the other hand , seek to improve the system , but try to overthrow whether it be the government or a group of people themselves .   Rotation in office or term limits would , by contrast , be more revolutionary , in altering basic political connections between incumbents and constituents .   Developing countries may carry out a wide range of reforms to improve their living standards , often with support from international financial institutions and aid agencies . This can include reforms to macroeconomic policy , the civil service , and public financial management .   Religious Reforms are performed in religions and churches .

Rent regulation is a system of laws , administered by a court or a public authority , which aim to ensure the quality and affordability of housing and tenancies on the rental market for land . Comprehensive rent regulation is common in Commonwealth and European Union countries , including Canada , Germany , Ireland , Cyprus and Sweden , and also some states in the United States . Generally a system of rent regulation involves :   price controls , limits on the rent that landlord may charge , historically known as rent control  standards by which a landlord may terminate a tenancy ( an equivalent of unfair dismissal from employment in tenancies )  obligations on the landlord or tenant regarding adequate maintenance of the property  a system of oversight and enforcement by an independent regulator and Ombudsman   The classic objective is to limit the price that would result from the market , where an inequality of bargaining power between landlords and tenants produces continually escalating prices without any stable market equilibrium . In 1992 , a survey of 464 American economists found that 76.3 % `` generally agreed '' that `` a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available '' , while 6.5 % disagreed and 16.6 % agreed but with provisos . However , many US states maintain rent controls , and a majority of OECD countries maintain rent regulation laws , which enjoy considerable popular support , and support in economic theory .

Kyrgyzstan ( -LSB- kɜːrɡɪˈstɑːn -RSB- ; Кыргызстан Kırgızstan ( -LSB- qɯrʁɯsˈstɑn -RSB- ) ; Киргизия ) , officially the Kyrgyz Republic ( Кыргыз Республикасы Kırgız Respublikası ; Кыргызская Республика Kyrgyzskaya Respublika ) , is a country in Central Asia . Landlocked and mountainous , Kyrgyzstan is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north , Uzbekistan to the west and southwest , Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the east . Its capital and largest city is Bishkek .   Kyrgyzstan 's recorded history spans over 2,000 years , encompassing a variety of cultures and empires . Although geographically isolated by its highly mountainous terrain , which has helped preserve its ancient culture , Kyrgyzstan has been at the crossroads of several great civilizations as part of the Silk Road and other commercial and cultural routes . Though long inhabited by a succession of independent tribes and clans , Kyrgyzstan has periodically fallen under foreign domination and attained sovereignty as a nation-state only after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 .   Since independence , Kyrgyzstan has officially been a unitary parliamentary republic , although it continues to endure ethnic conflicts , revolts , economic troubles , transitional governments and political conflict . Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States , the Eurasian Economic Union , the Collective Security Treaty Organization , the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation , the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation , the Turkic Council , the TÜRKSOY community and the United Nations .   Ethnic Kyrgyz make up the majority of the country 's 5.7 million people , followed by significant minorities of Uzbeks and Russians . Kyrgyz is closely related to other Turkic languages , although Russian remains widely spoken and is the official language , a legacy of a century of Russification . The majority of the population are non-denominational Muslims . In addition to its Turkic origins , Kyrgyz culture bears elements of Persian , Mongolian and Russian influence .

A recommended exposure limit ( REL ) is an occupational exposure limit that has been recommended by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) for adoption as a permissible exposure limit . The REL is a level that NIOSH believes would be protective of worker safety and health over a working lifetime if used in combination with engineering and work practice controls , exposure and medical monitoring , posting and labeling of hazards , worker training and personal protective equipment . No REL has ever been adopted by OSHA , but they have been used as guides by some industry and advocacy organizations . RELs for chemical exposures are usually expressed in parts per million ( ppm ) , or sometimes in milligrams per cubic metre ( mg/m3 ) . Although not legally enforceable limits , NIOSH RELs are considered by OSHA during the promulgation of legally enforceable PELs .

Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability ( LOHAS ) is a demographic defining a particular market segment related to sustainable living , `` green '' ecological initiatives , and generally composed of a relatively upscale and well-educated population segment . The author Paul H. Ray , who coined the term Cultural Creatives in his book by the same name , explains that `` What you 're seeing is a demand for products of equal quality that are also virtuous . '' Included in the cultural creative demographic are consumers of New Age goods and services .   Researchers have reported a range of sizes of the LOHAS market segment . For example , Worldwatch Institute reported that the LOHAS market segment in the year 2006 was estimated at $ 300 billion , approximately 30 % of the U.S. consumer market ; and , a study by the Natural Marketing Institute showed that in 2007 , 41 million or 13 % of the Americans were included within the LOHAS psychographic . In Japan roughly 17 million adults or 12 % of the population are LOHAS consumers .

Rejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the practical reversal of the aging process .   Rejuvenation is distinct from life extension . Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to oppose those causes in order to slow aging . Rejuvenation is the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy , namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue . Rejuvenation can be a means of life extension , but most life extension strategies do not involve rejuvenation .

Landscape connectivity in ecology is , broadly , `` the degree to which the landscape facilitates or impedes movement among resource patches '' . Alternatively , connectivity may be a continuous property of the landscape and independent of patches and paths . Connectivity includes both structural connectivity ( the physical arrangements of disturbance and/or patches ) and functional connectivity ( the movement of individuals across contours of disturbance and/or among patches ) . The degree to which a landscape is connected determines the amount of dispersal there is among patches , which influences gene flow , local adaptation , extinction risk , colonization probability , and the potential for organisms to move as they cope with climate change .

Revolutionary Wealth is a book written by futurists Alvin Toffler and his wife Heidi Toffler , first published in 2006 by Knopf . It is a continuation of the 1980 The Third Wave , which itself is a sequel to Future Shock .   Revolutionary Wealth significantly expands on the Third Wave . As in the older volume , the book argues that institutions -- public , private , and social -- left over from an era of mass production are unsuited to a new civilization being built throughout the world . Only now , further detail is provided on what will constitute the Third Wave society .


Question: Avoiding unchecked greenhouse gas emissions proves economically prudent; continuing current practices risks escalating environmental degradation with financial repercussions too complex for economic models to fully predict.

 Economic Implications of Addressing vs Ignoring Global Warming

Addressing global warming through proactive measures proves economically viable compared to bearing escalating damages under current practices. Economists highlight how preventing climate change can cost less when considering both immediate expenses and long-term savings. By investing in renewable energy sources, improving infrastructure resilience against extreme weather conditions, and promoting sustainable agricultural techniques, societies can mitigate potentially catastrophic financial burdens linked to uncontrolled global warming scenarios.

Historical data indicates that temperatures have risen significantly since the Industrial Revolution, largely attributed to increased greenhouse gas concentrations—primarily carbon dioxide—from burning fossil fuels. Projections suggest continued reliance on high-emission pathways could lead to additional increases ranging from moderate to severe depending on policy actions taken now versus later stages. Even conservative estimates reveal substantial economic losses if no action is pursued promptly.

The impact varies across regions globally: coastal cities face higher risks due to flooding while inland communities might suffer more intense heatwaves and droughts. Agriculture productivity declines threaten food supplies amidst growing demand trends. Infrastructure failures become increasingly common, straining public budgets already stretched thin addressing basic needs. Health crises escalate as vector-borne diseases spread into new territories alongside malnutrition concerns exacerbated by disrupted ecosystems services essential for maintaining life quality standards universally accepted within developed nations' borders.

Richard Jay Zeckhauser ( born 1940 ) is an American economist and the Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University .   He holds a BA ( summa cum laude ) and a PhD in economics from Harvard University . Early in his career , he was one of the `` whiz kids '' assembled by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to apply cutting-edge analysis to Cold War military strategy .   He is the author or co-author of many books and articles . His most recent book , with Peter Schuck , is Targeting in Social Programs . The book examines how and why to deploy scarce public resources to solve public problems . While he holds no formal office , he has long been an informal leader at the Kennedy School and at Harvard . He is also a consultant with Analysis Group .

Richard Bookstaber ( born 1950 ) is the author of A Demon Of Our Own Design , a book highlighting the fragility of the financial system that occurs from tight coupling and complexity . The book is noted for its foreshadowing of the financial crisis of 2007 -- 08 . He is also the author of The End of Theory , which critiques the applicability of economics in dealing with financial crises , and proposes an alternative paradigm using agent-based models .

Regulation is an abstract concept of management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends . In systems theory , these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society , but the term has slightly different meanings according to context . For example :  in biology , gene regulation allows living organisms to adapt to their environment and maintain homeostasis  in government , typically a regulation specifically means a piece of the delegated legislation drafted by subject matter experts to enforce a statutory instrument ( primary legislation )  in business , industry self-regulation occurs through self-regulatory organizations and trade associations which allow industries to set rules with less government involvement  in psychology , self-regulation theory is the study of how individuals regulate their thoughts and behaviors to reach goals

Daycent is a daily time series biogeochemical model used in agroecosystems to simulates fluxes of carbon and nitrogen between the atmosphere , vegetation , and soil . It is a daily version of the CENTURY biogeochemical model .   The United States Environmental Protection Agency , United States Department of Agriculture/ARS and the Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Lab are currently using the Daycent model to develop a national inventory of N2O emissions from U.S. agricultural soils . This inventory will be compared and contrasted with the existing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) agricultural N2O emissions inventory for the United States . Having more accurate data to account for nutrient cycling could have significant implications for public policy associated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) and potential future mitigation efforts in the United States .   Model inputs include daily maximum/minimum air temperature and precipitation , surface soil texture class , and land cover/use data . Model outputs include daily fluxes of various N-gas species ( e.g. , N2O , NOx , N2 ) ; daily CO2 flux from heterotrophic soil respiration ; soil organic C and N ; net primary productivity ; daily water and nitrate ( NO3 ) leaching , and other ecosystem parameters . Daycent has been tested with data from various native and managed systems . In similar studies , comparisons between Daycent simulated data and measured values for annual crop yields , N2O emissions , and NO3 leaching produced r2 values of 0.72 , 0.68 , and 0.61 respectively .   Other models used for simulating carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agricultural systems include   DNDC  EPIC

Declassification is the process of documents that used to be classified as secret ceasing to be so restricted , often under the principle of freedom of information . Procedures for declassification vary by country . Papers may be withheld without being classified as secret , and eventually made available .

David Henderson ( born 1927 ) is a British economist . He was the chief economist at the Economics and Statistics Department at the OECD in 1984 -- 1992 . Before that he worked as an academic economist in Britain , first at Oxford ( Fellow of Lincoln College ) and later at University College London ( Professor of Economics , 1975 -- 1983 ) ; as a British civil servant ( first as an Economic Advisor in HM Treasury , and later as Chief Economist in the Ministry of Aviation ) ; and as a staff member of the World Bank ( 1969 -- 1975 ) . In 1985 he gave the BBC Reith Lectures , which were published in the book Innocence and Design : The Influence of Economic Ideas on Policy ( Blackwell , 1986 ) .   Since leaving the OECD , Henderson has been an independent author and consultant , and has acted as Visiting Fellow or Professor at the OECD Development Centre ( Paris ) , the Centre for European Policy Studies ( Brussels ) , Monash University , the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques , the University of Melbourne , the Royal Institute of International Affairs , the New Zealand Business Roundtable , the Melbourne Business School , and Westminster Business School . He is currently a Fellow of the Institute of Economic Affairs .   In 1992 , Henderson was appointed to the Order of St Michael and St George as a Companion ( CMG ) .   Henderson and Nigel Lawson appealed to then-Prime Minister Tony Blair to investigate the economic implications of the potential implementation of policies put forth by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) findings .   Henderson and Ian Castles , a former head of the Australian Bureau of Statistics argued that the IPCC 's projections of future emissions of greenhouse gases was flawed . The IPCC 's forecasts of global output were based on national GDP converted to dollars using market exchange rates . Henderson and Ian Castles were critical of the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios ( SRES ) report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) that was published in 2000 . The core of their critique was the use of market exchange rates ( MER ) for international comparison , in lieu of the theoretically favoured PPP exchange rate which corrects for differences in purchasing power . The IPCC rebutted this criticism . Castles and Henderson later acknowledged that they were mistaken that future greenhouse gas emissions had been significantly overestimated .   Henderson has suggested about climate change that the science is not settled and criticized the Stern Review regarding the economics of global warming . He has also published books that strongly criticize `` corporate social responsibility '' .   he is chairman of the Academic Advisory Council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation .

In finance , a dead cat bounce is a small , brief recovery in the price of a declining stock . Derived from the idea that `` even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height '' , the phrase , which originated on Wall Street , is also popularly applied to any case where a subject experiences a brief resurgence during or following a severe decline .

Resistance economy is a way to circumvent sanctions against a country or region experiencing sanctions . This can involve increasing resilience by substituting local inputs for imported inputs , the smuggling of goods and an increase in barter trade . A country may even attempt to turn these pressures into opportunities . In some ways sanctioned economies bear some resemblance to an economy on a war or emergency footing .   Measuring economic activity in nations under sanctions requires different techniques than those used for other countries .

Debt evasion is the intentional act of trying to avoid attempts by creditors to collect or pursue one 's debt . At an elementary level , this includes the refusal to answer one 's phone by screening one 's calls or by ignoring mailed notices informing the debtor of the debt . In more advanced cases , this includes misleading the creditor to believe the debtor does not reside at the location where the creditor is attempting to reach the debtor .   Debt evasion is common because many people are scared of creditors when they owe money and feel uncomfortable confronting those attempting to collect debt . But evasion does not make the debt disappear , and does not make the debtor any less liable toward the creditor .   In most cases , debt evasion is not a criminal act . All democracies prohibit imprisonment of people who are in debt as a method of forcing their repayment .

The United Kingdom is committed to legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of 34 % by 2020 and 80 % by 2050 , compared to 1990 levels , as set out in the Climate Change Act 2008 . DECC ( 2008 ) . Climate Change Act . Decarbonisation of electricity generation will form a major part of this reduction and is essential before other sectors of the economy can be successfully decarbonised.DECC ( 2011a ) . Planning Our Electric Future : A White Paper for Secure , Affordable and Low-Carbon Electricity .   The Government 's proposals for electricity market reform , published in a White Paper in July 2011 , included three initiatives to encourage decarbonisation of electricity generation in the UK : A Carbon Price Floor to complement the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme ( EU ETS ) ; Feed-in tariffs which will eventually replace the Renewables Obligation ; and an Emissions Performance Standard to restrict future use of the most carbon intensive forms of generation .   In implementing these proposals , the Government aims to attract investment in low-carbon generation , deliver security of supply through an appropriate mix of electricity sources and ensure a minimum amount of impact on consumer bills ; all this at a time when security of supply is threatened by scheduled closures of existing plants and both the demand for , and subsequently the price of , electricity is increasing .


Question: The worldwide inclination is ascertained through data collected at numerous carbon dioxide monitoring sites and corroborated via satellite observations.

 Monitoring Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels
The meticulous tracking of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels across the globe relies upon extensive networks comprising hundreds of monitoring sites. These dedicated facilities continuously gather data, ensuring comprehensive coverage that spans continents. Satellite technology complements ground-based observations, offering aerial perspectives crucial for validating trends identified through terrestrial means. Together, they form a robust system capable of detecting subtle changes in atmospheric composition. Since its inception post-World War II, this collaborative effort among nations has provided invaluable insights into how anthropogenic activities contribute significantly to rising CO2 concentrations—a key factor behind contemporary concerns regarding climate change dynamics.

This dual approach—combining land-based sensors with orbital platforms—not only enhances accuracy but also facilitates cross-referencing results obtained independently via different methodologies. Consequently, scientists can confidently establish long-term shifts within Earth’s gaseous envelope without being swayed solely by localized phenomena. Such integrated surveillance remains pivotal in addressing urgent ecological challenges posed by escalating greenhouse effects linked intrinsically to mankind’s relentless pursuit of progress.

Dating is a stage of romantic or sexual relationships in humans whereby two or more people meet socially , possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other 's suitability as a prospective partner in a more committed intimate relationship or marriage . It can be a form of courtship that consists of social activities done by the couple . The protocols and practices of dating , and the terms used to describe it , vary considerably from country to country and over time . While the term has several meanings , the most frequent usage refers to two or more people exploring whether they are romantically or sexually compatible by participating in dates with the other . With the use of modern technology , people can date via telephone or computer or meet in person .   This term may also refer to two or more people who have already decided they share romantic or sexual feelings toward each other . These people will have dates on a regular basis , and they may or may not be having sexual relations . This period of courtship is sometimes seen as a precursor to engagement or marriage . Some cultures require people to wait until a certain age to begin dating , which has been a source of controversy .

In geometry , a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron , when those vertices are not on the same edge . Informally , any sloping line is called diagonal . The word `` diagonal '' derives from the ancient Greek διαγώνιος diagonios , `` from angle to angle '' ( from διά - dia - , `` through '' , `` across '' and γωνία gonia , `` angle '' , related to gony `` knee '' ) ; it was used by both Strabo and Euclid to refer to a line connecting two vertices of a rhombus or cuboid , and later adopted into Latin as diagonus ( `` slanting line '' ) .   In matrix algebra , a diagonal of a square matrix is a set of entries extending from one corner to the farthest corner .   There are also other , non-mathematical uses .

The Redbrook Incline Bridge is a nineteenth century tramway bridge that crosses the B4231 road at Redbrook on the border of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire . The bridge straddles the border and stands in both counties . It was built as a branch line from the Monmouth Tramroad to transport coal to the Redbrook Tinplate Works and was constructed on a significant incline as a consequence of its standing well below the main tramway . It is a remarkable survival of 19th century industrialisation within the Wye Valley and is a Grade II * listed building and a Scheduled monument .

A label ( as distinct from signage ) is a piece of paper , polymer , cloth , metal , or other material affixed to a container or product , on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item . Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labeling .   Labels have many uses , including providing information on a product 's origin , manufacturer ( e.g. , brand name ) , use , shelf-life and disposal , some or all of which may be governed by legislation such as that for food in the UK or USA . Methods of production and attachment to packaging are many and various and may also be subject to internationally recognised standards . In many countries , hazardous products such as poisons or flammable liquids must have a warning label .

Laser trackers are instruments that accurately measure large objects by determining the positions of optical targets held against those objects . The accuracy of laser trackers is of the order of 0.025 mm over a distance of several metres . Some examples of laser tracker applications are to align aircraft wings during assembly and to align large machine tools . To take measurements the technician first sets up a laser tracker on a tripod with an unobstructed view of the object to be measured . The technician removes a target from the base of the laser tracker and carries it to the object to be measured , moving smoothly to allow the laser tracker to follow the movement of the target . The technician places the target against the object and triggers measurements to be taken at selected points , sometimes by a remote control device . Measurements can be imported into different types of software to plot the points or to calculate deviation from the correct position .   The targets are known as `` retroreflective '' because they reflect the laser beam back in the same direction it came from ( in this case , back to the laser tracker ) . One type of target in common use is called a spherically mounted retroreflector ( SMR ) , which resembles a ball bearing with mirrored surfaces cut into it .

LARES ( acronym for Laser Relativity Satellite ) ( COSPAR ID 2012-006A ) is an Italian Space Agency scientific satellite launched from the ESA Guiana Space Centre of Kourou , French Guiana , by the maiden flight of the European launch vehicle Vega on 13 February 2012 .   The LARES satellite is the densest known object orbiting in the Solar System .

A rebreather is a breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a user 's exhaled breath to permit the rebreathing ( recycling ) of the substantially unused oxygen content , and unused inert content when present , of each breath . Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user . This differs from an open-circuit breathing apparatus , where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment .   Rebreather technology may be used where breathing gas supply is limited , such as underwater or in space , where the environment is toxic or hypoxic , as in firefighting , mine rescue and high-altitude operations , or where the breathing gas is specially enriched or contains expensive components , such as helium diluent or anaesthetic gases .   Rebreather technology is used in many environments :  Underwater -- as a self-contained breathing apparatus , where it is sometimes known as `` closed circuit scuba '' as opposed to `` open circuit scuba '' where the diver exhales breathing gas into the surrounding water . Surface-supplied diving equipment may incorporate rebreather technology either as a gas reclaim system , where the surface-supplied breathing gas is returned and scrubbed at the surface , or as a self-contained diver bailout system .  Mine rescue and other industrial applications -- where poisonous gases may be present or oxygen may be absent .  Crewed spacecraft and space suits -- outer space is , effectively , a vacuum without oxygen to support life .  Hospital anaesthesia breathing systems -- to supply controlled concentrations of anaesthetic gases to patients without contaminating the air that the staff breathe .  Himalayan mountaineering . High altitude reduces the partial pressure of oxygen in the ambient air , which reduces the ability of the climber to function effectively . Mountaineering rebreathers provide a higher partial pressure of oxygen to the climber .  Submarines , underwater habitats , and saturation diving systems use a scrubber system working on the same principles as a rebreather .   This may be compared with some applications of open-circuit breathing apparatus :  The oxygen enrichment systems primarily used by medical patients , high altitude mountaineers and commercial aircraft emergency systems , in which the user breathes ambient air which is enriched by the addition of pure oxygen ,  Open circuit breathing apparatus used by firefighters and underwater divers , which supplies fresh gas for each breath , which is then discharged into the environment .  Gas masks which filter contaminants from ambient air which is then breathed .   The recycling of breathing gas comes at the cost of mass , bulk , technological complexity and specific hazards , which depend on the specific application and type of rebreather used .

The definition of religion is a controversial subject in religious studies . Some scholars define `` religion '' as a cultural system of behaviors and practices , others as a `` comprehensive worldview '' or a `` moral community called a church '' . Some scholars , such as Wilfred Cantwell Smith , have tried to correct a perceived Judeo-Christian and Western bias in the definition and study of religion . Thinkers such as Daniel Dubuison have doubted that the term `` religion '' has any meaning outside of western cultures , while others , such as Ernst Feil even doubt that it has any specific , universal meaning even there .

The Ku band ( pronunciation : -LSB- ˌkeɪˈjuː -RSB- ) is the 12 -- 18 GHz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies . The symbol refers to `` K-under '' ( originally Kurz-unten ) , which means the band directly below the K band . In radar applications , it ranges from 12-18 GHz according to the formal definition of radar frequency band nomenclature in IEEE Standard 521-2002 .   Ku band is primarily used for satellite communications , most notably for fixed and broadcast services , and for specific applications such as NASA 's Tracking Data Relay Satellite used for both space shuttle and International Space Station ( ISS ) communications . Ku band satellites are also used for backhauls and particularly for satellite from remote locations back to a television network 's studio for editing and broadcasting . The band is split into multiple segments that vary by geographical region by the International Telecommunication Union ( ITU ) . NBC was the first television network to uplink a majority of its affiliate feeds via Ku band in 1983 .   Some frequencies in this radio band are employed in radar guns used by law enforcement to detect vehicles speeding , especially in Europe .
