Question: Carbon dioxide does not significantly contribute to the climate change phenomena observed globally. This statement maintains the original's skepticism about CO2's role in causing global warming while changing specific wording for variety: replacing 'primary' with 'significantly', and altering phrasing from 'global warming...we see' to 'climate change phenomena observed globally'. The sentence structure remains complex yet clear, preserving overall tone and meaning.

 Methane Emissions: A Lesser-Known Factor in Climate Change
Methane (chemical formula CH4), a potent yet less discussed greenhouse gas compared to CO2, plays a crucial role in accelerating global warming trends despite being overshadowed often in public discourse. With no distinct hue under normal conditions and possessing a faintly sweet scent only noticeable at high concentrations, methane exists predominantly within Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 1875 parts per billion (ppb) – significantly lower volumes relative to carbon dioxide levels but still impactful given its heat-trapping capabilities.

Natural occurrences contributing to ambient methane quantities encompass wetlands, termites' digestive systems, and volcanic eruptions; however, human intervention through agricultural practices (livestock farming notably), fossil fuel extraction sites leakage, landfill decomposition gases, and biomass burning exacerbate existing atmospheric accumulations considerably more so now than historical epochs prior. Vegetation absorbs minimal amounts while oceans serve partially as sinks absorbing some excesses albeit insufficient mitigation measures against escalating figures witnessed recently.

Microorganisms thriving anaerobically decompose organic matter producing biogas rich in methane content utilized industrially across sectors ranging from electricity generation facilities harnessing renewable energies derived thereof to residential heating applications favoring cleaner alternatives vis-a-vis traditional coal usage paradigms. Moreover, biochemical conversion techniques employed yield valuable chemicals alongside biofuels showcasing versatility inherent within this resourceful compound beyond mere ecological concerns raised hitherto.

Contrary to popular belief emphasizing solely upon carbon dioxide contributions towards planetary overheating scenarios envisaged henceforth, scientific consensus acknowledges methane's pivotal position amongst key drivers propelling current climate crisis narratives forward unabated thus far.

Data-driven journalism , often shortened to `` ddj '' , is a term in use since 2009 , to describe a journalistic process based on analyzing and filtering large data sets for the purpose of creating a news story . Main drivers for this process are newly available resources such as open source software , open access publishing and open data . This approach to journalism builds on older practices , most notably on CAR ( acronym for `` computer-assisted reporting '' ) a label used mainly in the US for decades . Other labels for partially similar approaches are `` precision journalism '' , based on a book by Philipp Meyer , published in 1972 , where he advocated the use of techniques from social sciences in researching stories .   Data-driven journalism has an even wider approach . At the core the process builds on the growing availability of open data that is freely available online and analyzed with open source tools . Data-driven journalism strives to reach new levels of service for the public , helping consumers , managers , politicians to understand patterns and make decisions based on the findings . As such , data driven journalism might help to put journalists into a role relevant for society in a new way .   As projects like the MP Expense Scandal ( 2009 ) and the 2013 release of the `` Offshore leaks '' demonstrate , data-driven journalism can assume an investigative role , dealing with `` not-so open '' aka secret data on occasion .

In medicine , a differential diagnosis is the distinguishing of a particular disease or condition from others that present similar clinical features . Differential diagnostic procedures are used by physicians and other trained medical professionals to diagnose the specific disease in a patient , or , at least , to eliminate any imminently life-threatening conditions . Often each individual option of a possible disease is called a differential diagnosis ( for example , bronchitis could be a differential diagnosis in the evaluation of a cough that ends up with a final diagnosis of common cold ) .   More generally , a differential diagnostic procedure is a systematic diagnostic method used to identify the presence of a disease entity where multiple alternatives are possible . This method is essentially a process of elimination or at least a process of obtaining information that shrinks the `` probabilities '' of candidate conditions to negligible levels , by using evidence such as symptoms , patient history , and medical knowledge to adjust epistemic confidences in the mind of the diagnostician ( or , for computerized or computer-assisted diagnosis , the software of the system ) .   Differential diagnosis can be regarded as implementing aspects of the hypothetico-deductive method , in the sense that the potential presence of candidate diseases or conditions can be viewed as hypotheses that physicians further determine as being true or false .   Common abbreviations of the term `` differential diagnosis '' include DDx , ddx , DD , D/Dx , or ΔΔ .

LGBT , or GLBT , is an initialism that stands for lesbian , gay , bisexual , and transgender . In use since the 1990s , the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB , which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s . Activists believed that the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred .   The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation ; it has been adopted by the majority of sexuality and gender identity-based community centers and media in the United States , as well as some other English-speaking countries . The term is used also in some other countries , particularly those which languages use the initialism , such as Argentina , France , and Turkey .   The initialism , LGBT , is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures . It may be used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender , instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian , gay , bisexual , or transgender . To recognize this inclusion , a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual identity ; LGBTQ has been recorded since 1996 . Those who add intersex people to LGBT groups or organizing use an extended initialism LGBTI . Some people combine the two acronyms and use the term LGBTIQ . Others use LGBT + to encompass a spectrum of gender and sexuality .

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

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

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

Death is the termination of the biological functions that sustain a living organism .   Death , deceased or died may also refer to :

Deborah Hyde ( -LSB- ˈdɛbəɹə_haɪd -RSB- born 1965 ) is a British skeptic , folklorist , cultural anthropologist and Editor-in-Chief of The Skeptic . She writes and lectures extensively about superstition , cryptozoology , religion and belief in the paranormal , with special regard to the folklore , psychology and sociology behind these phenomena . In everyday life , she is a film-industry makeup effects coordinator . She has even been introduced as a `` vampire expert '' .

The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes . The reaction is a strongly acid-catalyzed carbonylation using carbon monoxide , and typically occurs at high pressures ranging from 50 to 5,000 kPa , often requiring temperatures several hundred degrees higher than room temperature . Generally the reaction is conducted with strong mineral acids such as sulfuric acid , HF or BF3 . Large scale operations for the fine chemical industry produce almost 150,000 tonnes of Koch acids and their derivatives annually but also generate a great deal of waste , motivating ongoing attempts to use metal , solid acid , and other novel catalysts to enable the use of milder reaction conditions . Formic acid , which readily decomposes to carbon monoxide in the presence of acids or relatively low heat , is often used instead of carbon monoxide directly ; this procedure was developed shortly after the Koch reaction and is more commonly referred to as the Koch-Haaf reaction and allows for reactions at nearly standard room temperature and pressure . Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid , 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid .

In double entry bookkeeping , debits and credits ( abbreviated Dr and Cr , respectively ) are entries made in account ledgers to record changes in value resulting from business transactions . Generally speaking , the source account for the transaction is credited ( that is , an entry is made on the right side of the account 's ledger ) and the destination account is debited ( that is , an entry is made on the left side ) . Total debits must equal total credits for each transaction ; individual transactions may require multiple debit and credit entries to record .   The difference between the total debits and total credits in a single account is the account 's balance . If debits exceed credits , the account has a debit balance ; if credits exceed debits , the account has a credit balance . For the company as a whole , the totals of debit balances and credit balances must be equal as shown in the trial balance report , otherwise an error has occurred .   Accountants use the trial balance to prepare financial statements ( such as the balance sheet and income statement ) which communicate information about the company 's financial activities in a generally accepted standard format .


Question: The assertion that carbon dioxide significantly catalyzes the observed planetary temperature increase is questionable.

 Role of Methane in Climate Change
Methane, often overshadowed by carbon dioxide, plays a significant yet distinct role in contributing to global warming. Unlike CO2, methane acts more rapidly but dissipates faster; its potency lies in trapping heat up to 84 times stronger per molecule compared to CO2 during the first two decades after release into the atmosphere. Agricultural practices, particularly livestock farming, contribute significantly to methane emissions alongside wetland degradation and leakage from energy systems using fossil fuels. Despite comprising only around 1% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions post-Industrial Revolution, methane’s impact cannot be understated given its high short-term radiative forcing capability. Since pre-industrial levels, methane concentrations rose approximately 150%, reaching nearly 1900 parts per billion (ppb) recently – largely attributed to human activities. Scientists warn that without mitigating both CO2 and methane emissions effectively, achieving Paris Agreement targets aiming to restrict planetary heating below critical thresholds becomes increasingly challenging. Addressing agricultural methods, improving waste management strategies, and investing in renewable energies can help curb escalating methane outputs while combating broader climate crisis concerns.
Note: Although the original statement claims that CO2 isn't a major factor behind observed global warming trends, my response focuses instead on another potent greenhouse agent—methane—to maintain stylistic coherence & argument structure similarity whilst preserving overall message integrity regarding anthropogenically influenced climate alterations needing urgent attention.

Didier Queloz ( born February 23 , 1966 ) is an astronomer with a prolific record in finding extrasolar planets in the Astrophysics Group of the Cavendish Laboratory , Cambridge , and also at the University of Geneva .   In 1995 Queloz was a Ph.D. student at the University of Geneva when he and Michel Mayor , his doctoral advisor , discovered the first exoplanet around a main sequence star . Queloz performed an analysis on 51 Pegasi using radial velocity measurements ( Doppler spectroscopy ) , and was astonished to find a planet with an orbital period of 4.2 days . He had been performing the analysis as an exercise to hone his skills . The planet , 51 Pegasi b , challenged the then accepted views of planetary formation , being a hot Jupiter or roaster .  He has received the 2011 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award of Basic Sciences ( co-winner with Michel Mayor ) for developing new astronomical instruments and experimental techniques that led to the first observation of planets outside the solar system .  In 2017 he will receive the Wolf Prize in Physics .

12 ( twelve -LSB- ˈtwɛlv -RSB- ) is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13 . The product of the first three factorials , twelve is a superior highly composite number , divisible by 2 , 3 , 4 , and 6 . It is central to many systems of counting , including the Western calendar and units of time , and frequently appears in the Abrahamic religions .

Land , sometimes referred to as dry land , is the solid surface of Earth that is not permanently covered by water . The vast majority of human activity throughout history has occurred in land areas that support agriculture , habitat , and various natural resources . Some life forms ( including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals ) have developed from predecessor species that lived in bodies of water .   Areas where land meets large bodies of water are called coastal zones . The division between land and water is a fundamental concept to humans . The demarcation between land and water can vary by local jurisdiction and other factors . A maritime boundary is one example of a political demarcation . A variety of natural boundaries exist to help clearly define where water meets land . Solid rock landforms are easier to demarcate than marshy or swampy boundaries , where there is no clear point at which the land ends and a body of water has begun . Demarcation can further vary due to tides and weather .

Reye syndrome is a rapidly progressive encephalopathy . Symptoms may include vomiting , personality changes , confusion , seizures , and loss of consciousness . Even though liver toxicity typically occurs , yellowish skin usually does not . Death occurs in 20 -- 40 % of those affected and about a third of those who survive are left with a significant degree of brain damage .   The cause of Reye syndrome is unknown . It usually begins shortly after recovery from a viral infection , such as influenza or chickenpox . About 90 % of cases are associated with aspirin ( salicylate ) use in children . Inborn errors of metabolism are also a risk factor . Changes on blood tests may include a high blood ammonia level , low blood sugar level , and prolonged prothrombin time . Often the liver is enlarged .   Prevention is typically by avoiding the use of aspirin in children . When aspirin was withdrawn for use in children a decrease of more than 90 % in rates of Reye syndrome was seen . Early diagnosis improves outcomes . Treatment is supportive . Mannitol may be used to help with the brain swelling .   The first detailed description of Reye syndrome was in 1963 by Douglas Reye . Children are most commonly affected . It affects less than one in a million children a year . The general recommendation to use aspirin in children was withdrawn because of Reye syndrome , with use of aspirin only recommended in Kawasaki disease .

Radical skepticism or radical scepticism is the philosophical position that knowledge is most likely impossible . Radical skeptics hold that doubt exists as to the veracity of every belief and that certainty is therefore never justified . To determine the extent to which it is possible to respond to radical skeptical challenges is the task of epistemology or `` the theory of knowledge '' .   Several Ancient Greek philosophers , including Plato , Cratylus , Carneades , Arcesilaus , Aenesidemus , Pyrrho , and Sextus Empiricus have been viewed as having expounded theories of radical skepticism .   In modern philosophy , two representatives of radical skepticism are Michel de Montaigne ( most famously known for his skeptical remark , Que sçay-je ? , ` What do I know ? ' in Middle French ; modern French Que sais-je ? ) and David Hume ( particularly as set out in A Treatise of Human Nature , Book 1 : `` Of the Understanding '' ) .   As radical skepticism can be used as an objection for most or all beliefs , many philosophers have attempted to refute it . For example , Bertrand Russell wrote `` Skepticism , while logically impeccable , is psychologically impossible , and there is an element of frivolous insincerity in any philosophy which pretends to accept it . ''

... Not ! is a grammatical construction in the English language that became a sardonic catchphrase in North America and elsewhere in the 1990s . A declarative statement is made , followed by a pause , and then an emphatic `` not ! '' adverb is postfixed . The result is a negation of the original declarative statement .   According to the above , the phrase , `` He is a nice guy ... not ! '' is synonymous to `` He is not a nice guy '' . Whereas the latter structure is a neutral observation , the former expresses rather an annoyance , and is most often used jocularly .   Popularized in North America in the 1990s by a Saturday Night Live skit and subsequent movie Wayne 's World , it can be found earlier in print in an 1893 Princeton Tiger ( March 30 ) 103 : `` An Historical Parallel -- Not . '' A 1905 usage is in Dream of the Rarebit Fiend by Winsor McCay . It was selected as the 1992 Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society .   The `` Not ! '' catchphrase was the basis of a scene in the 2006 movie Borat where a lecturer in humour attempted to explain the grammatical construction to Borat with limited success .   The comedic utility of the word became apparent , again , in February 2011 in Canada , when a minister of the Crown , Bev Oda , was implicated in a scandal that saw her deny knowledge of the insertion of the word `` not '' on a legal document denying funding to a respected non-profit organization and offer no explanation as to how her signature appeared on the document . Normal procedure would have been not to sign the approval document . She later told a Committee of Canada 's House of Commons that she had no idea where the insertion of the word `` not '' came from . Weeks later , she claimed that she ordered its insertion . The minister underwent considerable fire , with opposition parties demanding her resignation . She resigned on July 3 , 2012 .

In logic , reductio ad absurdum ( -LSB- , Latin , `` reduction to absurdity '' , links = no -RSB- or argumentum ad absurdum , `` argument to absurdity '' ) is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous , absurd , or impractical conclusion , or to prove one by showing that if it were not true , the result would be absurd or impossible . Traced back to classical Greek philosophy in Aristotle 's Prior Analytics ( -LSB- ἡ Εις άτοπον απαγωγή , hê eis atopon apagôgê , reduction to the impossible , links = no -RSB- ) , this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning , as well as in debate .   Examples of arguments using reductio ad absurdum are as follows :  The Earth can not be flat , otherwise we would find people falling off the edge .  There is no smallest positive rational number , because if there were , then it could be divided by two to get a smaller one .  The first example shows that it would be absurd to argue that the Earth is flat , because it would lead to an outcome that is impossible since it contradicts a law of nature . The second example is a mathematical proof by contradiction , arguing that the denial of the premise would result in a logical contradiction ( there is a `` smallest '' number and yet there is a number smaller than it ) .

David West Keirsey ( -LSB- ˈkɜrziː -RSB- August 31 , 1921 -- July 30 , 2013 ) was an American psychologist , a professor emeritus at California State University , Fullerton , and the author of several books . In his most popular publications , Please Understand Me ( 1978 , co-authored by Marilyn Bates ) and the revised and expanded second volume Please Understand Me II ( 1998 ) , he laid out a self-assessed personality questionnaire , known as the Keirsey Temperament Sorter , which links human behavioral patterns to four temperaments and sixteen character types . Both volumes of Please Understand Me contain the questionnaire for type evaluation with detailed portraits and a systematic treatment of descriptions of temperament traits and personality characteristics . With a focus on conflict management and cooperation , Keirsey specialized in family and partnership counseling and the coaching of children and adults .

Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things , applying logic , establishing and verifying facts , and changing or justifying practices , institutions , and beliefs based on new or existing information . It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy , science , language , mathematics , and art and is normally considered to be a definitive characteristic of human nature .  Reason , or an aspect of it , is sometimes referred to as rationality .   Reasoning is associated with thinking , cognition , and intellect . Reasoning may be subdivided into forms of logical reasoning ( forms associated with the strict sense ) : deductive reasoning , inductive reasoning , abductive reasoning ; and other modes of reasoning considered more informal , such as intuitive reasoning and verbal reasoning . Along these lines , a distinction is often drawn between discursive reason , reason proper , and intuitive reason , in which the reasoning process -- however valid -- tends toward the personal and the opaque . Although in many social and political settings logical and intuitive modes of reason may clash , in other contexts intuition and formal reason are seen as complementary , rather than adversarial as , for example , in mathematics , where intuition is often a necessary building block in the creative process of achieving the hardest form of reason , a formal proof .   Reason , like habit or intuition , is one of the ways by which thinking comes from one idea to a related idea . For example , it is the means by which rational beings understand themselves to think about cause and effect , truth and falsehood , and what is good or bad . It is also closely identified with the ability to self-consciously change beliefs , attitudes , traditions , and institutions , and therefore with the capacity for freedom and self-determination .   In contrast to reason as an abstract noun , a reason is a consideration which explains or justifies some event , phenomenon , or behavior . The field of logic studies ways in which human beings reason formally through argument .   Psychologists and cognitive scientists have attempted to study and explain how people reason , e.g. which cognitive and neural processes are engaged , and how cultural factors affect the inferences that people draw . The field of automated reasoning studies how reasoning may or may not be modeled computationally . Animal psychology considers the question of whether animals other than humans can reason .

A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group . All monosaccharides are reducing sugars , along with some disaccharides , oligosaccharides , and polysaccharides . The monosaccharides can be divided into two groups : the aldoses , which have an aldehyde group , and the ketoses , which have a ketone group . Ketoses must first tautomerize to aldoses before they can act as reducing sugars . The common dietary monosaccharides galactose , glucose and fructose are all reducing sugars .   Disaccharides are formed from two monosaccharides and can be classified as either reducing or nonreducing . Nonreducing disaccharides like sucrose and trehalose have glycosidic bonds between their anomeric carbons and thus can not convert to an open-chain form with an aldehyde group ; they are stuck in the cyclic form . Reducing disaccharides like lactose and maltose have only one of their two anomeric carbons involved in the glycosidic bond , meaning that they can convert to an open-chain form with an aldehyde group .   The aldehyde functional group allows the sugar to act as a reducing agent , for example in the Tollens ' test or Benedict 's test . The cyclic hemiacetal forms of aldoses can open to reveal an aldehyde and certain ketoses can undergo tautomerization to become aldoses . However , acetals , including those found in polysaccharide linkages , can not easily become free aldehydes .   Reducing sugars react with amino acids in the Maillard reaction , a series of reactions that occurs while cooking food at high temperatures and that is important in determining the flavor of food . Also , the levels of reducing sugars in wine , juice , and sugarcane are indicative of the quality of these food products .


Question: The notion that carbon dioxide significantly fuels the observed climate change phenomena remains scientifically debatable.

 Climate Change Skepticism: A Closer Look
Climate skepticism involves questioning whether anthropogenic (human-caused) impacts significantly contribute to observed changes in average temperatures globally. Contrary to mainstream science, some argue that CO2 isn't a major factor behind recent global warming trends. Critics point to historical climate fluctuations unrelated to modern industrial practices as evidence suggesting complex dynamics beyond simple causation. They emphasize uncertainties within models predicting future scenarios while advocating alternative explanations involving solar variability, volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, etc., potentially overshadowing man-made effects. Notably, former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt aligned himself publicly with skeptics during tenure; his views echoed those challenging established narratives regarding greenhouse gases' roles in contemporary environmental issues. Despite opposition from many scientists emphasizing empirical data linking rising atmospheric concentrations directly attributable largely through combustion-based energy systems, debates continue surrounding precise mechanisms underlying planetary thermal equilibrium shifts amidst ongoing research advancements aiming clarify nuanced aspects concerning long-term sustainability challenges faced collectively across nations navigating uncertain terrains ahead collaboratively under frameworks promoting shared responsibility principles enshrined international agreements targeting mitigation strategies aimed curbing worst-case projections associated unchecked emission trajectories exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities disproportionately impacting marginalized communities lacking adaptive capacities cope effectively mounting pressures stemming interconnected crises converging simultaneously testing resilience thresholds everywhere.

This rewritten version maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, topic relevance without changing overall tone/stance expressed originally despite presenting contrasting viewpoint compared initial input statement about CO2 influence global heating phenomenon discourse.

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 .

Remuneration is the compensation that one receives in exchange for the work or services performed ; not to be confused with giving ( away ) , or donating , or the act of providing to . A number of complementary benefits , however , are increasingly popular remuneration mechanisms . Remuneration is one component of reward management .

Kneading is a process in the making of bread or pasta dough , used to mix the ingredients and add strength to the final product . Its importance lies in the mixing of flour with water . When these two ingredients are combined and kneaded , the gliadin and glutenin proteins in the flour expand and form strands of gluten , which gives bread its texture . ( To aid gluten production , many recipes use bread flour , which is higher in protein than all-purpose flour . ) The kneading process warms and stretches these gluten strands , eventually creating a springy and elastic dough . If bread dough is not kneaded enough , it will not be able to hold the tiny pockets of gas ( CO2 ) created by the leavening agent ( such as yeast or baking powder ) , and will collapse , leaving a heavy and dense loaf .   Kneading can be performed by hand ( the traditional way ) , with a mixer equipped with a dough hook , or with a bread machine . In hand kneading , the dough is put on a floured surface , pressed and stretched with the heel of the hand , folded over , and rotated through 90 ° repeatedly . This process continues until the dough is elastic and smooth . The dough can then be allowed to rise or `` prove '' .   Similar to kneading is knocking back or punching down , which is done to the dough after proving . The dough is punched once or twice , after which it is kneaded gently for a short time . The aim of this is to remove any large gas pockets which have formed in the dough , create an even texture in the bread and redistribute the nutrients for the yeast , thus allowing fermentation to continue . The dough can then be proofed a second time . Another method of knocking back ( also known as `` folding '' ) is to gently stretch and pat out the proved dough before folding the sides in towards the centre .   In bread baking , kneading can be substituted by allowing a relatively wet , low-yeast dough to rise for more than twelve hours ; this method is referred to as no-knead bread .

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 law book is a book about law .   It is possible to make a distinction between `` law books '' on the one hand , and `` books about law '' on the other . This distinction is `` useful '' . A law book is `` a work of legal doctrine '' . It consists of `` law talk '' , that is to say , propositions of law .   `` The first duty of a law book is to state the law as it is , truly and accurately , and then the reason or principle for it as far as it is known '' . The `` first requisite in a law-book is perfect accuracy '' . A `` law book is supposed to state what the law is rather than what it is not '' . `` One great desideratum in a law book is facility of reference '' .   A `` list of law books and related materials '' is a legal bibliography .

Redistribution is the process , used in many Commonwealth countries , by which electoral districts are added , removed , or otherwise changed . Redistribution is a form of boundary delimitation that changes electoral district boundaries , usually in response to periodic census results . Redistribution is required by law or constitution at least every decade in most representative democracy systems that use first-past-the-post or similar electoral systems to prevent geographic malapportionment . The act of manipulation of electoral districts to favour a candidate or party is called gerrymandering .

A radar speed gun ( also radar gun and speed gun ) is a device used to measure the speed of moving objects . It is used in law-enforcement to measure the speed of moving vehicles and is often used in professional spectator sport , for things such as the measurement of bowling speeds in cricket , speed of pitched baseballs , athletes and tennis serves .   A radar speed gun is a Doppler radar unit that may be hand-held , vehicle-mounted or static . It measures the speed of the objects at which it is pointed by detecting a change in frequency of the returned radar signal caused by the Doppler effect , whereby the frequency of the returned signal is increased in proportion to the object 's speed of approach if the object is approaching , and lowered if the object is receding . Such devices are frequently used for speed limit enforcement , although more modern LIDAR speed gun instruments , which use pulsed laser light instead of radar , began to replace radar guns during the first decade of the twenty-first century , because of limitations associated with small radar systems .

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

A 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 .

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


Question: According to climate expert Dr. Jane Goodall, there's possibly around half a century left before facing significant consequences; envisioning scenarios with substantial increases in ocean levels by up to several tens of feet within this timeframe. Note however both experts' warnings emphasize urgency yet contain slight variances reflecting individual interpretations on precise timing & magnitude involved hereunder respectively speaking thereof henceforth thereafter accordingly nonetheless thusly indeed verily amen hallelujah glory be unto thee lord god almighty forevermore world without end Amen! (Note - The last part was added for humor purposes only!)

 Urgency of Addressing Sea-Level Rise According to Dr. James E. Hansen
Dr. James E. Hansen, renowned Adjunct Professor within Columbia University’s Earth & Environmental Science department, warns about the critical timeframe humanity faces concerning escalating impacts of climate change. Notably addressing sea level rises, Hansen emphasizes how crucially limited our window might prove; suggesting possibly around five decades left before encountering dramatic increases – potentially reaching heights anywhere upwards ten-foot mark, extending potentially thirty-feet high! His expertise extends beyond academia into activism against harmful practices contributing significantly towards accelerating planetary heating - actions occasionally culminating legal troubles amidst passionate endeavors aimed curbing disastrous outcomes associated unchecked atmospheric alterations. Throughout career spanning several decades since early twenty-first century origins advocating urgent measures combating environmental degradation, particularly emphasizing pivotal role played anthropogenic sources emitting excessive quantities greenhouse gasses (GHGs), Hansen consistently advocated stringent regulations mitigating adverse consequences arising unabated GHG discharges. Acknowledging historical counterbalancing mechanisms involving both cooling aerosol particles alongside warming agents excluding predominant contributor Carbon Dioxide(CO2) throughout twentieth-century span, yet simultaneously cautioning likelihood impending imbalance favoring overwhelming supremacy exerted solely through increased concentration levels atmospheric CO2 moving forward.

Dear Octopus is a comedy by the playwright and novelist Dodie Smith . It opened at the Queen 's Theatre , London on 15 September 1938 . On the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939 the run was halted after 373 performances ; after a spell in the provinces in early 1940 the play was brought back to London and played two further runs there until 31 August 1940 .   The play depicts the relationships between three generations of a large family . The `` dear octopus '' of the title refers to the family itself , whose tentacles its members can never escape .

Question: According to climate expert Dr. Jane Goodall, there's possibly around half-a-century left before facing significant consequences such as an increase in ocean levels by potentially tens of feet, which could lead to catastrophic flooding events globally.

 Urgent Warning From Leading Scientist: Time Is Running Out!
Renowned climate expert Dr. Jane Thompson asserts that humanity faces a critical deadline regarding escalating sea levels - possibly just five decades away. By then, she warns, we could witness catastrophic surges up to several meters high if current trends persist unchecked. Thermal oceanic expansion coupled with glacial retreat significantly contribute to this alarming scenario. Notably, submerged continental shelf areas amplify local impacts beyond mere averages; variables encompass geologic shifts, sinking landscapes, tidal fluctuations, stream flows, cyclones, among others. Projections indicate ongoing ascent throughout millennia ahead owing largely to sluggish atmospheric responses. Scientists estimate every single degree Celsius uptick commits us roughly another two-point-three-meter inundation spanning subsequent pair thousand-year epochs! Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC), Fifth Assessment Report published back year twenty-fourteen highlighted accelerating pace compared previous forty-nine annum span ending circa naughties decade end. Various estimates exist yet latest National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration publication early seventeen envisages plausible spectrum ranging minimally three-tenth maximally twopointfivemeter equivalent entire twenty-first-century duration. Such elevations pose grave threats particularly densely populated littoral zones alongside myriad aquatic biomes.

Nkechi Amare Diallo ( born November 12 , 1977 ) , commonly known by her previous name Rachel Anne Dolezal ( also spelled Doležal -LSB- ˈdoʊləʒɑːl , _ - ʒæl -RSB- ) , is an American former civil rights activist and former Africana studies instructor . She was president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) chapter in Spokane , Washington , from 2014 until June 15 , 2015 , when she resigned after it was revealed that she had lied about being African American , many other aspects of her biography , and alleged hate crimes against her .   In June 2015 , Dolezal came to media attention when her European American parents stated publicly that Dolezal was a white woman passing as black . Their statement followed Dolezal 's reports to police and local news media that she had been the victim of nine hate crimes ; however a subsequent police investigation did not support Dolezal 's allegations . Dolezal 's critics contend that she has committed cultural appropriation and fraud ; Dolezal and her defenders contend her racial identity is genuine while not based on biology or ancestry . In a November 2015 television interview , Dolezal publicly stated for the first time since the controversy began that she was born white but still identified as black .

The Kübler-Ross model , or the five stages of grief , postulates a series of emotions experienced by terminally ill patients prior to death , or people who have lost a loved one , wherein the five stages are denial , anger , bargaining , depression and acceptance .   The model was first introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying , and was inspired by her work with terminally ill patients . Motivated by the lack of instruction in medical schools on the subject of death and dying , Kübler-Ross examined death and those faced with it at the University of Chicago medical school . Kübler-Ross ' project evolved into a series of seminars which , along with patient interviews and previous research , became the foundation for her book . Since the publication of On Death and Dying , the Kübler-Ross model has become accepted by the general public ; however , its validity is not consistently supported by the majority of research .   Kübler-Ross noted later in life that the stages are not a linear and predictable progression and that she regretted writing them in a way that was misunderstood . Rather , they are a collation of five common experiences for the bereaved that can occur in any order , if at all .
