Question:
 The most recent assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), specifically AR5, indicate that projections of worldwide average temperatures made in their 2005 publication surpassed subsequent empirical observations.
This reformulation maintains both sentence structure and complexity while preserving meaning: it still conveys how more current data contradicts earlier predictions about climate change's severity or pace globally.

 Assessments of Global Mean Temperature Projections: Comparisons Between Predictions and Observations

In recent years, comparisons between projected temperatures outlined within earlier assessments conducted by authoritative bodies, notably the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), against observed data reveal interesting insights into predictive accuracy regarding global mean temperatures. Specifically focusing on projections made during the AR5 cycle around 2005, subsequent empirical evidence suggests some models might have forecasted higher-than-realized increases in average planetary warmth. Established back in '88 via collaborative effort among key UN entities—the World Meteorological Organization & UNEP—this panel has since evolved into a pivotal source offering comprehensive evaluations concerning atmospheric alterations influenced predominantly by human actions. Its mandate revolves around furnishing policymakers globally with scientifically grounded perspectives encapsulating risks associated with escalating greenhouse gases alongside strategies aimed at curbing adverse outcomes. Notably, every iteration culminates in meticulously crafted summaries tailored specifically for decision-makers across nations; these undergo rigorous scrutiny entailing endorsement by representatives spanning upwards of hundred-plus states before final release. Although tasked solely with synthesizing existing knowledge rather than generating novel findings independently, contributions pour in generously from countless researchers volunteering expertise pro bono throughout review phases ensuring robustness and reliability of synthesized conclusions presented periodically. Ultimately serving dual roles both as custodian safeguarding integrity while simultaneously facilitating harmonious alignment amongst stakeholders advocating collective action against looming threats posed by unchecked carbon footprints, this entity continues fostering dialogue essential for forging pathways conducive towards sustainable futures devoid of catastrophic ecological disruptions.

Development of doctrine is a term used by John Henry Newman and other theologians influenced by him to describe the way Catholic teaching has become more detailed and explicit over the centuries , while later statements of doctrine remain consistent with earlier statements .

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

In surveying , the repetition method is used to improve precision and accuracy of measurements of horizontal angles . The same angle is measured multiple times , with the survey instrument rotated so that systematic errors tend to cancel . The arithmetic mean of these observations gives true value of an angle . The precision of the measurement can exceed the least count of the instrument . used .   The repetition method is used when high accuracy is required . For rough or approximate survey work , the ordinary method of measuring horizontal angles is used as it is less time consuming .

The Language Proficiency Index or LPI is a Canadian standardized test for English proficiency and is administered by Paragon Testing Enterprises , a subsidiary of the University of British Columbia . The results of this test are used mostly by post secondary institutions and professional organizations within the Province of British Columbia , Alberta and in the territory of Yukon .   The test is 2.5 hours long and consists of five components , Parts I and II are multiple choice and deal with catching various grammar-related mistakes . Part III is a reading-comprehension section , also in multiple choice . Part IV deals with writing brief summaries of a short piece of writing and Part V is a 300-400 word argumentative essay .

The Research Institute of Crop Production ( RICP ) was established in 1951 . During its more than 50 years of existence , the RICP has been the leading crop-production research institution within the Czech Republic . After most specialised research institutes in the Czech Republic were privatised in 1993 , RICP is the only state-independent institution pursuing both research and consulting activities focussed on problems associated with growing crop plants .   RICP is a subsidised organisation . Its basic purpose is the development of scientific knowledge in the field of integrated crop production , the production of wholesome foodstuffs , and the development of conditions for sustainable agriculture and conservation of the environment .   Although the main office of RICP is in Prague , various parts of the Institute ( 14 experimental or research stations and separate laboratories ) are located in different areas in the territory of the Czech Republic .

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 .

Relevance is a measure of how pertinent , connected , or applicable something is .   Relevance may also refer to :   Relevance ( information retrieval ) , a measure of a document 's applicability to a given subject or search query  Relevance ( law ) , regarding the admissibility of evidence in legal proceedings  Relevance logic , mathematical logic system that imposes certain restrictions on implication  Relevance theory , cognitive theory of communication via interpretive inferences

Learning pathways through statutory assessment : Key Stages 2 and 3 , also known as the Daugherty Report is a government review of the educational assessment system for Key Stages 2 and 3 ( 11 - and 14-year-olds ) in Wales . The review was commissioned by Jane Davidson of the National Assembly for Wales in June 2003 and undertaken by a group led by Professor Richard Daugherty from the University of Wales , Aberystwyth .   The group were given the task of reviewing the nature and suitability of the national statutory assessments , looking in particular at the timing of the tests , and what uses the resulting data are put to . The impact of the tests on the primary to secondary transition was also investigated .   The interim report , released on 22 January 2004 , was perceived by the media as supporting a complete abolishment of the statutory tests at both Key Stages 2 and 3 . The report suggested that 10-year-old pupils ( year 5 ) should take aptitude tests . The aim of these should be to inform teaching in year 6 , and later in secondary school , whilst noting that the results of these could be collected for monitoring purposes . It also recommended that teacher assessments at the end of year 6 remain compulsory .   At Key Stage 3 , the interim report suggested that the current assessment system be phased out after three years , and replaced with assessments at the end of year 8 or beginning of year 9 . Over this three years , a system for moderation of teacher assessments would be developed . It would be up to secondary schools to ensure that consistent teacher assessments had occurred in their feeder schools .   Inter-country monitoring would be achieved by using a sample of attainments linked to the OECD 's Programme for International Student Assessment . The report also noted the importance of developing formative assessment practices .   The review group has worked closely with ACCAC , who are also undertaking an assessment review due for release in April 2004 , the same time as the final Daugherty Report is published .

Debriefing is a process of :  receiving an explanation ,  receiving information and situation-based reminders of context ,  reporting of measures of performance , and/or opportunities to further investigate the results of a study , investigation , or assessment of performance after participation in an immersive activity is complete .   Debriefings are most effective when conducted interactively between the participants of the immersive activity and the assessment or observation personnel . Self-facilitated After Action Reviews ( AAR ) or debriefings are common in small unit and crew activities , and in a training context are shown to improve Knowledge , Skills , and Abilities ( KSAs ) significantly when conducted formally using pre-defined measures of performance derived from front-end analysis . Debriefing organization can be based on linear or non-linear ( or a combination of both ) organization of markers used for recall . Typically the structure will use : Temporal , Spatial , Objective , and/or Performance derived markers to bring focus to a specific activity .

In psychoanalytic theory , reaction formation ( Reaktionsbildung ) is a defensive process ( defense mechanism ) in which emotions and impulses which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration ( hypertrophy ) of the directly opposing tendency .  The reaction formations belong to Level III of neurotic defense mechanisms , which also include intellectualization , dissociation , displacement and repression .


Question: Data regarding changes in average worldwide surface temperatures has lost all genuine scientific utility; it now serves solely as an instrument for swaying popular opinion through sensationalism. This transformation from valuable science metric into mere publicity gimmick undermines trust in climate research among skeptics who see these figures being used out of context or manipulated by politicians with agendas unrelated to environmental protection efforts .

 Questioning Temperature Data: Propaganda Over Science?
The debate surrounding the validity of global surface mean temperature-change data raises concerns about its use beyond scientific inquiry into a realm of public persuasion. Critics argue that while once valuable tools for researchers studying trends related to "global warming," these datasets now serve less scholarly purposes. Focus shifts onto periods where instrument-recorded temperatures offer reliability - notably post-World War II era coinciding with rapid industrial expansion; herein lies contention regarding authenticity versus manipulation. Anthropogenic influences dominate discussions:

* Escalating greenhouse gas levels.
* Land alterations through practices like deforestation.
* Aerosol concentration increases within atmospheres.

Natural variations exist too—climate cycles, sunspot fluctuations, volcanic eruptions—but consensus leans heavily against solely attributing phenomena without acknowledging man-made contributions.

Accordingly, statements made by authoritative bodies akin to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assert high confidence (>95%) linking contemporary warming spells back predominantly upon Homo sapiens' actions since mid-twentieth century. Evidence corroborating assertions includes:

 * Established physics principles governing heat-trapping capabilities associated with rising GHG indices.
 * Comparative analyses revealing anomalous modern-day thermal anomalies vis-a-vis historical norms.
 * Computational simulations failing replication exercises sans inclusionary criteria encompassing CO₂ et alia outputs attributable largely unto mankind’s endeavors.
 * Exclusion scenarios involving sole reliance upon non-anthropocentric drivers incapable substantiating empirical findings indicative warmer climates contemporaneously experienced globally.

Widely accepted amongst academia alongside endorsements emanating across continents via nearly two hundred learned societies endorsing prevailing hypotheses concerning causality dynamics underpinning planetary thermic evolution trajectories. Thus questioning veracity underlying compilations ostensibly documenting deviations away from baseline metrics risks trivializing critical discourse necessary navigating forward amidst escalating ecological challenges confronting humanity collectively.

Data laundering is the conversion of stolen data so that it may be sold or used by ostensibly legitimate databases . ZDNet has described the process as `` obscuring , removing , or fabricating the provenance of illegally obtained data such that it may be used for lawful purposes '' .

Richard Henry Carmona ( born November 22 , 1949 ) is an American physician , nurse , police officer , public health administrator , and politician . He was a vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and served as the seventeenth Surgeon General of the United States . Appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002 , Carmona left office at the end of July 2006 upon the expiration of his term . After leaving office , Carmona was highly critical of the Bush administration for suppressing scientific findings which conflicted with the Administration 's ideological agenda .   In August 2006 , Carmona returned home to Tucson , Arizona . In November 2011 , he announced he would seek the Democratic Party 's nomination for United States Senate in the hopes of succeeding outgoing Republican Senator Jon Kyl , despite being registered as a political Independent . He lost to Republican challenger Congressman Jeff Flake .

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 .

In computer science and computer programming , a data type or simply type is a  classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data . Most programming languages support various types of data , for example : real , integer or Boolean . A Data type provides a set of values from which an expression ( i.e. variable , function ... ) may take its values . The type defines the operations that can be done on the data , the meaning of the data , and the way values of that type can be stored .

Data fusion is the process of integration of multiple data and knowledge representing the same real-world object into a consistent , accurate , and useful representation .  The goal of data fusion is to combine relevant information from two or more data sources into a single one that provides a more accurate description than any of the individual data sources .   Data fusion processes are often categorized as low , intermediate or high , depending on the processing stage at which fusion takes place . Low level data fusion combines several sources of raw data to produce new raw data . The expectation is that fused data is more informative and synthetic than the original inputs .   For example , sensor fusion is also known as ( multi-sensor ) data fusion and is a subset of information fusion .

A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that , for any two items , the first is either ` ranked higher than ' , ` ranked lower than ' or ` ranked equal to ' the second .  In mathematics , this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects . It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking . The rankings themselves are totally ordered . For example , materials are totally preordered by hardness , while degrees of hardness are totally ordered .   By reducing detailed measures to a sequence of ordinal numbers , rankings make it possible to evaluate complex information according to certain criteria . Thus , for example , an Internet search engine may rank the pages it finds according to an estimation of their relevance , making it possible for the user quickly to select the pages they are likely to want to see .   Analysis of data obtained by ranking commonly requires non-parametric statistics .

 The information regarding alterations in worldwide average land-surface heat measurements has lost credibility as an instrument of science; it now serves merely as a rhetorical device for swaying popular opinion.
```

 Questionable Value of Global Surface Temperature Data
The reliability and scientific merit of global surface mean temperature records have been called into question recently. Critics argue that these datasets now serve less as objective indicators of climate trends and more as tools for political advocacy. Allegations suggest systematic biases might exist within historical temperature adjustments, leading some experts to doubt whether they accurately represent long-term changes. Despite ongoing debates about methodology and interpretation, there remains widespread agreement among mainstream researchers regarding overall warming trends linked to human influence. However, dissenters highlight uncertainties surrounding specific aspects of data collection and analysis methods employed since pre-satellite era measurements began around late-19th century until early-mid twentieth centuries when instrumental coverage was sparse globally especially across oceans where weather stations were scarce compared against land areas having denser network density thus potentially introducing significant error margins affecting calculated averages significantly enough so as possibly invalidating conclusions drawn solely based upon them without proper caveats acknowledging inherent limitations involved therein.

Reptilians ( also called reptoids , reptiloids , saurians , or Draconians ) are purported reptilian humanoids that play a prominent role in fantasy , science fiction , ufology , and conspiracy theories . The idea of reptilians was popularized by David Icke , a conspiracy theorist who claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate human societies . Icke has claimed on multiple occasions that many of the world leaders are , or are possessed by , so-called reptilians .

A landyacht is a metaphorical term used to describe luxurious recreational vehicles and is an informal term for large automobiles . Other descriptors of these cars include ` slab ' , ` luxobarge ' , ` lead sled ' , or ` yank tank ' . These terms refer to the largest full-sized cars made by U.S. and German auto manufacturers from the 1950s through the 1990s .

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 .

Debasement is the practice of lowering the value of currency . It is particularly used in connection with commodity money such as gold or silver coins . A coin is said to be debased if the quantity of gold , silver , copper or nickel is reduced .

Land sailing , also known as ` sand yachting ' or ` land yachting ' , is the act of moving across land in a wheeled vehicle powered by wind through the use of a sail . The term comes from analogy with ( water ) sailing . Historically , land sailing was used as a mode of transportation or recreation . Since the 1950s , it has evolved primarily into a racing sport .   Vehicles used in sailing are known as sail wagons , sand yachts , or land yachts . They typically have three ( sometimes four ) wheels and function much like a sailboat , except that they are operated from a sitting or lying position and steered by pedals or hand levers . Land sailing works best in windy flat areas , and races often happen on beaches , airfields , and dry lake beds in desert regions . Modern land sailors , generally known as `` pilots '' , can go three to four times faster than the wind speed . A gust of wind is considered more beneficial in a land sailing race than a favorable windshift . A similar sport , known as ice yachting , is practiced on frozen lakes and rivers . Another variation is the Whike , which combines land sailing with bicycling and can therefore also be used in everyday traffic because it does not fully depend on wind .   __ TOC __

Landlord harassment is the willing creation , by a landlord or his agents , of conditions that are uncomfortable for one or more tenants in order to induce willing abandonment of a rental contract . Such a strategy is often sought because it avoids costly legal expenses and potential problems with eviction . This kind of activity is common in regions where rent control laws exist , but which do not allow the direct extension of rent-controlled prices from one tenancy to the subsequent tenancy , thus allowing landlords to set higher prices . Landlord harassment carries specific legal penalties in some jurisdictions , but enforcement can be very difficult or even impossible in many circumstances . However , when a crime is committed in the process and motives similar to those described above are subsequently proven in court , then those motives may be considered an aggravating factor in many jurisdictions , thus subjecting the offender ( s ) to a stiffer sentence .

Reputation management refers to the influencing and controlling of an individual 's or group 's reputation . Originally a public relations term , the growth of the internet and social media , along with reputation management companies , have made search results a core part of an individual 's or group 's reputation . Online reputation management , sometimes abbreviated as ORM , focuses on the management of product and service search website results . Ethical grey areas include mug shot removal sites , astroturfing review sites , censoring negative complaints , and using search engine optimization tactics to influence results .   With extensive developments in this field of public relations , in-sync with the growth of the internet and social media , along with the advent of reputation management companies , the overall out-look of search results has become an integral part of what defines `` reputation '' and subsequent to all these developments , reputation management now exists under two spheres : online and off-line reputation management .   Online reputation management , sometimes abbreviated as ORM , focuses on the management of product and service search results within the digital space . A variety of electronic markets and online communities like e-Bay , Amazon and Alibaba have ORM systems built in , and using effective control nodes these can minimize the threat and protect systems from possible misuses and abuses by malicious nodes in decentralized overlay networks .   Whereas , off-line reputation management refers to the process of managing public perception of a said entity out-side the digital sphere using select clearly defined controls and measures towards a desired result ideally representing what stake-holders think and feel about that entity . Wherein , the most popular controls for off-line reputation management include social responsibility , media visibility , press releases in print media and sponsorship amongst related tools .

In physics , Landau damping , named after its discoverer , the eminent Soviet physicist Lev Davidovich Landau ( 1908 -- 68 ) , is the effect of damping ( exponential decrease as a function of time ) of longitudinal space charge waves in plasma or a similar environment . This phenomenon prevents an instability from developing , and creates a region of stability in the parameter space . It was later argued by Donald Lynden-Bell that a similar phenomenon was occurring in galactic dynamics , where the gas of electrons interacting by electrostatic forces is replaced by a `` gas of stars '' interacting by gravitation forces . Landau damping can be manipulated exactly in numerical simulations such as particle-in-cell simulation . It was proved to exist experimentally by Malmberg and Wharton in 1964 , almost two decades after its prediction by Landau in 1946 .

Land clearing in Australia describes the removal of native vegetation and deforestation in Australia . Land clearing involves the removal of native vegetation and habitats , including the bulldozing of native bushlands , forests , savannah , woodlands and native grasslands and the draining of natural wetlands for replacement with agriculture , urban and other land uses .   Of the vegetation which existed in Australia at the time of European settlement , approximately 87 % remains .

A land/location value tax ( LVT ) , also called a site valuation tax , split rate tax , or site-value rating , is a levy on the unimproved value of land . It is an Ad valorem tax that , unlike property taxes , disregards the value of buildings , personal property and other improvements .   Land value tax has been referred to as `` the perfect tax '' and the economic efficiency of a land value tax has been known since the eighteenth century . Many economists since Adam Smith and David Ricardo advocated this tax , but it is most famously associated with Henry George , who argues that because the supply of land is fixed and its location value is created by communities and public works , the economic rent of land is the most logical source of public revenue .   A land value tax is a progressive tax , in that the heaviest tax burden would fall on the wealthiest . Land value taxation is currently implemented throughout Denmark , Estonia , Lithuania , Russia , Hong Kong , Singapore , and Taiwan ; it has also been applied in subregions of Australia , Mexico ( Mexicali ) , and the United States ( e.g. , Pennsylvania ) .

 Data regarding alterations in worldwide average land-ocean temperatures now serve little genuine academic purpose; instead they function predominantly as an instrument for swaying popular opinion on climate change issues.

 Questioning Temperature Data: A Closer Look
In contemporary discourse, some argue that global surface mean temperature records lack genuine scientific merit, serving instead as tools for swaying public opinion. Critics contend that while these datasets purport to track changes accurately, they're manipulated for persuasive effect rather than reflecting objective reality. They suggest alternative explanations for observed trends, emphasizing uncertainties and questioning methodologies employed in compiling historical temperature series.
However, reputable scientific bodies affirm the reliability and significance of long-term temperature measurements. These institutions assert that rigorous statistical methods underpin adjustments made to account for various biases—such as station relocation—and maintain transparency through peer-reviewed publications. Contrary views often originate from think tanks aligned with energy corporations' interests, promoting skepticism despite overwhelming evidence linking anthropogenic CO2 emissions to rising planetary warmth.
Debates around climate data integrity highlight broader tensions between empirical research findings and ideologically-driven narratives. Skeptics frequently cite alleged flaws in satellite-derived sea-level rise calculations or discrepancies among Arctic vs Antarctic ice-mass balance studies as grounds for dismissing overarching conclusions about man-made impacts on earth’s thermal equilibrium. Yet, scrutiny reveals that such critiques selectively interpret isolated anomalies while ignoring robust cross-validation across independent observation networks confirming unequivocal warming signals since preindustrial era baselines circa late-19th century AD.
Ultimately, discussions surrounding contentious aspects of climate monitoring underscore challenges associated with communicating complex probabilistic forecasts amidst heightened polarization exacerbated by vested stakeholders seeking leverage over regulatory frameworks governing carbon-intensive sectors’ operations. Despite lingering controversies fueled partly by misinformation campaigns orchestrated by powerful lobbies opposed to stringent mitigation policies aimed at curbing atmospheric GHG concentrations, authoritative assessments consistently reaffirm confidence levels attached to projections indicating substantial risks posed by unabated greenhouse forcing scenarios unfolding throughout remainder twenty-first century CE timeframe.

A recruitment tool is an advertising method that aids in creating interest in and getting people for a typically political organization . Historically recruitment tools have often taken the form of posters or films , though in modern times recruitment tools have taken the form of advergame video games . Other tools include things like sponsorships of sporting events , or ads on TV .

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

His seminal article , `` The Myth of the Rhetorical Situation , '' written when he was 25 years of age has served as the basis for his world view on persuasion ; namely , that rhetorical study is conceived most advantageously for the field through a model of competition for persuasion . This competition is evidenced by persuaders ' struggles to create salience for issues or evidence ( now commonly termed an `` agenda '' ) followed by the struggle to infuse the saliency with the desired meaning ( or now , spin and framing ) . This perspective emphasizes rhetoric as a creative act with increased persuader responsibility for the situation his or her rhetoric creates and/or sustains for chosen audiences . The view that he argues against promotes rhetoric as a passive activity that exists in response to allegedly intrinsically meaningful situations .   The primary examples Vatz used to illustrate this rhetorical perspective are the rhetoric of mental illness -- reflecting the views of Dr. Thomas S. Szasz -- and political rhetoric wherein political actors compete to try to make their agenda and their chosen meanings and significances dominant for chosen political audiences .

The Return of Owners of Land , 1873 presents the first complete picture of the distribution of landed property in the British Isles since the original Domesday Book dating from 1086 . The 1873 Return is also sometimes referred to as the `` Modern Domesday '' . It arose from the desire of the Victorian governing landed classes , many of whom sat in the House of Lords , to counter the rising public clamour encouraged by some parts of the press about what was called the `` monopoly of land . '' Karl Marx ( d. 1883 ) had been resident in London since 1849 and had published his Capital in 1867 thus influencing political thought on the Continent and consequently prompting a concerned British Establishment to rapidly extinguish any spark of revolutionary sentiment in the United Kingdom .   Many perceived exaggerations and false assertions had been made by the opponents of the landed classes as to the over-concentration of land ownership within a ruling elite , and reliable and independent data was needed to refute the attacks . The question was put in the House of Lords on 19 February 1872 by Edward Stanley , 15th Earl of Derby ( 1826 -- 1893 ) to the Lord Privy Seal `` Whether it was the intention of Her Majesty 's Government to take any steps for ascertaining the number of proprietors of land and houses in the United Kingdom , with the quantity of land owned by each proprietor '' . The government was in agreement with the suggestion and indeed Lord Derby 's question had been a mere pre-arranged formality to start the process .   In 1872 Local Government Boards were ordered to compile a list of owners of land from ratings records . One return was prepared for England and Wales , excluding the Metropolis , and separate ones were prepared for Scotland in 1874 , and Ireland in 1876 . The Return shows the holding , in acres , roods and poles , and estimated yearly rental , of all holdings over 1 acre . It is laid out by county and landowner with a principal identifying address being given for each landowner . In the case of landowners with extensive and scattered holdings the address may not correspond to the location of the land and could be outside the county in question . The location of the land owned is not given . A comparison with the Domesday Book survey was made in the Return 's Explanatory Statement ( see section below ) . The 1873 Return was not without inaccuracies , sometimes very significant , and a revised and corrected edition was published in 1883 by John Bateman FRGS ( 1839 -- 1910 ) entitled : The Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland .

Reuben Hersh ( born 1927 ) is an American mathematician and academic , best known for his writings on the nature , practice , and social impact of mathematics . This work challenges and complements mainstream philosophy of mathematics . ( `` Hersh '' is his professional or `` pen '' name . His family name is Reuben Laznovsky . )   After receiving a B.A. in English literature from Harvard University in 1946 , Hersh spent a decade writing for Scientific American and working as a machinist . After losing his right thumb when working with a band saw he decided to study mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences . In 1962 , he was awarded a Ph.D. in mathematics from New York University ; his advisor was P.D. Lax . He has been affiliated with the University of New Mexico since 1964 , where he is now professor emeritus .   Hersh has written a number of technical articles on partial differential equations , probability , random evolutions , and linear operator equations . He is the ( co ) author of four articles in Scientific American , and 12 articles in the Mathematical Intelligencer .   Hersh is best known as the coauthor with Philip J. Davis of The Mathematical Experience ( 1981 ) , which won a National Book Award in Science.This was the 1983 award for paperback Science .  From 1980 to 1983 in National Book Award history there were dual hardcover and paperback awards in most categories , and several nonfiction subcategories including General Nonfiction . Most of the paperback award-winners were reprints , including this one .   Hersh advocates what he calls a `` humanist '' philosophy of mathematics , opposed to both Platonism ( so-called `` realism '' ) and its rivals nominalism/fictionalism/formalism . He holds that mathematics is real , and its reality is social-cultural-historical , located in the shared thoughts of those who learn it , teach it , and create it . His article `` The Kingdom of Math is Within You '' ( a chapter in his `` Experiencing Mathematics , 2014 ) explains how mathematicians ' proofs compel agreement , even when they are inadequate as formal logic . He sympathizes with the perspectives on mathematics of Imre Lakatos and Where Mathematics Comes From , George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez , Basic Books .

Depth sounding refers to the act of measuring depth . It is often referred to simply as sounding . Data taken from soundings are used in bathymetry to make maps of the floor of a body of water , and were traditionally shown on nautical charts in fathoms and feet . The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) , the agency responsible for bathymetric data in the United States , still uses fathoms and feet on nautical charts . In other countries , the International System of Units ( metres ) has become the standard for measuring depth .

Dataplot is a public domain software system for scientific visualization and statistical analysis . It was developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology . Dataplot 's source code is available .

Demography ( from prefix demo - from Ancient Greek δῆμος dēmos meaning `` the people '' , and - graphy from γράφω graphō , implies `` writing , description or measurement '' ) is the statistical study of populations , especially human beings . As a very general science , it can analyze any kind of dynamic living population , i.e. , one that changes over time or space ( see population dynamics ) . Demography encompasses the study of the size , structure , and distribution of these populations , and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth , migration , ageing , and death . Based on the demographic research of the earth , earth 's population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by demographers . Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population .   Demographic analysis can cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education , nationality , religion , and ethnicity . Educational institutions usually treat demography as a field of sociology , though there are a number of independent demography departments .   Formal demography limits its object of study to the measurement of population processes , while the broader field of social demography or population studies also analyses the relationships between economic , social , cultural , and biological processes influencing a population .

Question:
 Data regarding changes in average worldwide surface temperatures has lost all legitimate scientific utility; it now serves solely as an instrument for propagandizing the general populace. This transformation from valuable research information into mere persuasive rhetoric highlights concerns over how such critical environmental metrics can be misused or manipulated by various stakeholders with differing agendas on climate change policy-making fronts globally .
The original sentence was already quite complex so I aimed at keeping that level while changing some words around without altering meaning too much , also added extra context about potential misuse which adds depth but does not stray far off topic either way since both sentences revolve around criticism of current usage patterns surrounding certain types datasets related specifically hereafter referred henceforth simply "global warming".

 Questionable Value of Global Surface Temperature Data
The reliability and utility of historical global surface mean temperature measurements have come under scrutiny recently, raising questions regarding their validity beyond serving political agendas rather than informing genuine scientific inquiry. Critics argue that various biases and inaccuracies inherent within early measurement techniques cast doubt upon conclusions drawn solely based on these datasets.

Historical temperature records date back several centuries; however, concerns arise when considering inconsistencies across different regions and periods. Early thermometers were often rudimentary devices prone to errors influenced by local conditions unrelated to broader trends. Moreover, adjustments applied retrospectively to account for known issues can introduce additional uncertainties into final results. Despite attempts to correct discrepancies through statistical methods, critics maintain skepticism concerning whether adjusted figures accurately reflect past climates without being tainted by subjective interpretations.

In recent times, satellite monitoring offers higher precision compared to ground-based observations yet covers shorter spans. Satellite-derived temperatures provide valuable insights complementing traditional readings while highlighting limitations faced by terrestrial networks especially before widespread implementation post World War II era. Nonetheless, skeptics point out gaps existing prior to modern instrumentation questioning extrapolations made filling temporal voids relying heavily upon models instead empirical evidence.

Advocacy groups frequently cite dramatic shifts attributed exclusively to human activities ignoring natural variability documented throughout geologic history predating Industrial Revolution onset circa late eighteenth century. They emphasize rapid increases witnessed following mid-twentieth century correlating closely concurrent economic development fueled predominantly via burning fossil fuels releasing vast quantities greenhouse gases trapping solar radiation leading enhanced atmospheric insulation effect commonly termed "global warming". However plausible mechanistic explanations remain speculative lacking direct observational proof establishing causality unequivocally dismissing alternative hypotheses invoking cyclical phenomena intrinsic planetary dynamics.

Predictive simulations generated complex computer algorithms incorporating myriad variables aim forecast consequences hypothetical scenarios assuming unabated accumulation GHGs atmosphere. Proponents assert high confidence outcomes despite acknowledged shortcomings acknowledging assumptions underlying parameterizations subject considerable uncertainty. Skeptics counterargue exaggerated worst-case forecasts overlook mitigative feedback mechanisms potentially offsetting deleterious influences emphasizing need cautious interpretation avoiding alarmist rhetoric devoid nuanced analysis.

Geopolitical discourse surrounding climate policy revolves around contentious debates balancing perceived imperatives decarbonizing economies safeguarding ecological integrity against pragmatic considerations ensuring energy security fostering socioeconomic prosperity. International agreements espousing ambitious targets phasing-out hydrocarbons favor renewable alternatives face resistance vested interests skeptical efficacy proposed measures outweighing collateral damages inflicted transitioning away established infrastructures overnight. Domestic constituencies wary escalating costs living standards regressions stemming stringent regulations imposed ostensibly curb anthropogenically induced warming advocate incremental approaches prioritizing adaptive strategies enhancing resilience projected adversities.

Public awareness growing albeit fragmented

Relative deprivation is the lack of resources to sustain the diet , lifestyle , activities and amenities that an individual or group are accustomed to or that are widely encouraged or approved in the society to which they belong . Measuring relative deprivation allows an objective comparison between the situation of the individual or group compared to the rest of society . Relative deprivation may also emphasise the individual experience of discontent when being deprived of something to which one believes oneself to be entitled , however emphasizing the perspective of the individual makes objective measurement problematic .   It is a term used in social sciences to describe feelings or measures of economic , political , or social deprivation that are relative rather than absolute . The term is inextricably linked to the similar terms poverty and social exclusion . The concept of relative deprivation has important consequences for both behavior and attitudes , including feelings of stress , political attitudes , and participation in collective action . It is relevant to researchers studying multiple fields in social sciences . It has sometimes been related to the biological concept of relative fitness , where an organism that successfully outproduces its competitors leaves more copies in the gene pool .   Social scientists , particularly political scientists and sociologists , have cited ` relative deprivation ' ( especially temporal relative deprivation ) as a potential cause of social movements and deviance , leading in extreme situations to political violence such as rioting , terrorism , civil wars and other instances of social deviance such as crime . For example , some scholars of social movements explain their rise by citing grievances of people who feel deprived of what they perceive as values to which they are entitled . Similarly , individuals engage in deviant behaviors when their means do not match their goals .   Recently , the opposite of relative deprivation , the concept of relative gratification has emerged in social psychology .

Data based decision making or data driven decision making refers to educator 's ongoing process of collecting and analyzing different types of data , including demographic , student achievement test , satisfaction , process data to guide decisions towards improvement of educational process . DDDM becomes more important in education since federal and state test-based accountability policies . No Child Left Behind Act opens broader opportunities and incentives in using data by educational organizations by requiring schools and districts to analyze additional components of data , as well as pressing them to increase student test scores . Information makes schools accountable for year by year improvement various student groups . DDDM helps to recognize the problem and who is affected by the problem ; therefore , DDDM can find a solution of the problem

Data envelopment analysis ( DEA ) is a nonparametric method in operations research and economics for the estimation of production frontiers . It is used to empirically measure productive efficiency of decision making units ( or DMUs ) . Although DEA has a strong link to production theory in economics , the tool is also used for benchmarking in operations management , where a set of measures is selected to benchmark the performance of manufacturing and service operations . In the circumstance of benchmarking , the efficient DMUs , as defined by DEA , may not necessarily form a `` production frontier '' , but rather lead to a `` best-practice frontier '' ( Cook , Tone and Zhu , 2014 ) . DEA is referred to as `` balanced benchmarking '' by Sherman and Zhu ( 2013 ) . Non-parametric approaches have the benefit of not assuming a particular functional form/shape for the frontier , however they do not provide a general relationship ( equation ) relating output and input . There are also parametric approaches which are used for the estimation of production frontiers ( see Lovell & Schmidt 1988 for an early survey ) . These require that the shape of the frontier be guessed beforehand by specifying a particular function relating output to input . One can also combine the relative strengths from each of these approaches in a hybrid method ( Tofallis , 2001 ) where the frontier units are first identified by DEA and then a smooth surface is fitted to these . This allows a best-practice relationship between multiple outputs and multiple inputs to be estimated .   `` The framework has been adapted from multi-input , multi-output production functions and applied in many industries . DEA develops a function whose form is determined by the most efficient producers . This method differs from the Ordinary Least Squares ( OLS ) statistical technique that bases comparisons relative to an average producer . Like Stochastic Frontier Analysis ( SFA ) , DEA identifies a `` frontier '' which are characterized as an extreme point method that assumes that if a firm can produce a certain level of output utilizing specific input levels , another firm of equal scale should be capable of doing the same . The most efficient producers can form a ` composite producer ' , allowing the computation of an efficient solution for every level of input or output . Where there is no actual corresponding firm , ` virtual producers ' are identified to make comparisons '' ( Berg 2010 ) .   Attempts to synthesize DEA and SFA , improving upon their drawbacks , were also made in the literature , via proposing various versions of non-parametric SFA and Stochastic DEA .

A language survey is conducted around the world for a variety of reasons .   measuring people 's ability to speak and understand another language ( usually community based , not school based ) ( multilingualism )  studying people 's attitudes about different languages ( Rensch 1993 )  evaluating the differences and similarities in speech of communities that speak related speech forms , noting comprehension or collecting details of linguistic form ( dialectology ) ( Labov 1982 , Backstrom 1992 , Egland 1978 )  assessing the vitality of languages that may be disappearing ( language death ) ( Statistic Canada 1993 , Ferreira and Holbrook 2002 )  doing initial descriptions of languages in areas that are linguistically undescribed ( King and King 1984 )

A description of something ( such as an object , a person , or an event ) is a written or spoken account presenting characteristics and aspects of that which is being described in sufficient detail that the audience can form a mental picture , impression , or understanding of it .   Description may also refer to :  Definite description , is discussed in the Philosophy of Language , as a phrase that denotes an object .  Description ( linguistics ) , analyzing and describing how language is spoken by a group of people in a speech community  Description , a rhetorical mode  Mathematical model , a description in mathematical language of a system  Scientific theory , a description of an aspect of the natural world  Species description , is a formal description of a newly defined species in biological taxonomy

Data masking or data obfuscation is the process of hiding original data with random characters or data .   The main reason for applying masking to a data field is to protect data that is classified as personal identifiable data , personal sensitive data or commercially sensitive data , however the data must remain usable for the purposes of undertaking valid test cycles . It must also look real and appear consistent . It is more common to have masking applied to data that is represented outside of a corporate production system . In other words , where data is needed for the purpose of application development , building program extensions and conducting various test cycles . It is common practice in enterprise computing to take data from the production systems to fill the data component , required for these non-production environments . However the practice is not always restricted to non-production environments . In some organizations , data that appears on terminal screens to call centre operators may have masking dynamically applied based on user security permissions . ( e.g. : Preventing call centre operators from viewing Credit Card Numbers in billing systems )   The primary concern from a corporate governance perspective is that personnel conducting work in these non-production environments are not always security cleared to operate with the information contained in the production data . This practice represents a security hole where data can be copied by unauthorised personnel and security measures associated with standard production level controls can be easily bypassed . This represents an access point for a data security breach .   The overall practice of Data Masking at an organisational level should be tightly coupled with the Test Management Practice and underlying Methodology and should incorporate processes for the distribution of masked test data subsets .

In telecommunication a data link is the means of connecting one location to another for the purpose of transmitting and receiving digital information . It can also refer to a set of electronics assemblies , consisting of a transmitter and a receiver ( two pieces of data terminal equipment ) and the interconnecting data telecommunication circuit . These are governed by a link protocol enabling digital data to be transferred from a data source to a data sink   There are at least three types of basic data-link configurations that can be conceived of and used :  Simplex communications , most commonly meaning all communications in one direction only .  Half-duplex communications , meaning communications in both directions , but not both ways simultaneously .  Duplex communications , communications in both directions simultaneously .   In civil aviation , a data-link system ( known as Controller Pilot Data Link Communications ) is used to send information between aircraft and air traffic controllers when an aircraft is too far from the ATC to make voice radio communication and radar observations possible . Such systems are used for aircraft crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans . One such system , used by Nav Canada and NATS over the North Atlantic , uses a five-digit data link sequence number confirmed between air traffic control and the pilots of the aircraft before the aircraft proceeds to cross the ocean . This system uses the aircraft 's flight management computer to send location , speed and altitude information about the aircraft to the ATC . ATC can then send messages to the aircraft regarding any necessary change of course .   In unmanned aircraft , land vehicles , boats , and spacecraft , a two-way ( full-duplex or half-duplex ) data-link is used to send control signals , and to receive telemetry .

Daylight saving time ( abbreviated DST ) , also sometimes erroneously referred to as daylight savings time , is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer , while sacrificing normal sunrise times . Typically , regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time .   American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin proposed a form of daylight time in 1784 . He wrote an essay `` An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light '' to the editor of The Journal of Paris , suggesting , somewhat jokingly , that Parisians could economize candle usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning , making use of the natural morning light instead . New Zealander George Hudson proposed the idea of daylight saving in 1895 . The German Empire and Austria-Hungary organized the first nationwide implementation , starting on April 30 , 1916 . Many countries have used it at various times since then , particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970s .   The practice has both advocates and critics . Some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce evening use of incandescent lighting -- once a primary use of electricity -- today 's heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly , and research about how DST affects energy use is limited and contradictory .   DST clock shifts sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt travel , billing , record keeping , medical devices , heavy equipment , and sleep patterns . Computer software often adjusts clocks automatically , but policy changes by various jurisdictions of DST dates and timings may be confusing .

Landsat 4 is the fourth satellite of the Landsat program . It was launched on July 16 , 1982 , with the primary goal of providing a global archive of satellite imagery . Although the Landsat Program is managed by NASA , data from Landsat 4 was collected and distributed by the U.S. Geological Survey . Landsat 4 science operations ended on December 14 , 1993 when the satellite lost its ability to transmit science data , far beyond its designed life expectancy of five years . The satellite housekeeping telemetry and tracking continued to be maintained by NASA until it was decommissioned on June 15 , 2001 .

The Declaration of Helsinki ( DoH ) is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed for the medical community by the World Medical Association ( WMA ) . It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics .   It is not a legally binding instrument under the international law , but instead draws its authority from the degree to which it has been codified in , or influenced , national or regional legislation and regulations . Its role was described by a Brazilian forum in 2000 in these words `` Even though the Declaration of Helsinki is the responsibility of the World Medical Association , the document should be considered the property of all humanity '' .


Question:
 In 2018, the pace at which renewable energy sources were being installed across European Union countries fell significantly short, amounting to merely one-fifth compared to their peak capacity additions observed back in 2010. Note that while this maintains the essence of comparison between two years regarding renewable installation rates within Europe, it slightly deviates from maintaining exactly 'less than half' but still conveys substantial decline effectively by using "merely one fifth" as an alternative measure for significant reduction. This keeps sentence structure complex yet stylistically varied with comparable meaning intact.

2018 EU Renewable Energy Installations: A Sluggish Pace Compared to Record Levels in 2010
In recent years, Europe has been second only to China in leading the charge for renewable energy advancements and deployment. However, data reveals that during 2018, the installation pace of clean power technologies across the European Union fell significantly short—less than half compared to its peak performance back in 2010. This slowdown raises concerns about achieving ambitious goals set forth to reduce reliance on imported fuels while simultaneously combating climate change through aggressive decarbonization strategies.

Both documents maintain a comparable structure, focusing first on the EU’s prominent role within the context of renewable energy before highlighting specific issues (habitat destruction vs. reduced installation rates). They conclude similarly by emphasizing broader implications related to sustainability objectives (biodiversity conservation vs. addressing climate change).

Despite changing key details—the subject matter shifts from habitat destruction to renewable energy trends; geographic specificity moves away from general references ("natural environment") toward more concrete locations (Europe); temporal markers alter slightly ('current' becomes "recent" )—the overall tone remains consistent throughout each piece. Both texts employ formal language suitable for academic discourse without becoming overly technical or jargon-heavy. Additionally, they incorporate relevant background information prior to presenting central arguments regarding negative impacts stemming from anthropogenic influences (human-driven habitat degradation versus decreased investment in green technology infrastructure). Finally, there exists clear alignment when considering how each article closes by underscoring critical challenges posed by ongoing ecological crises necessitating urgent action if humanity hopes to mitigate potentially catastrophic outcomes associated with unchecked environmental exploitation/degradation.

`` La Reyne le veult '' ( `` The Queen wills it '' ) or `` Le Roy le veult '' ( `` The King wills it '' ) is a Norman French phrase used in the Parliament of the United Kingdom to signify that a public bill ( including a private member 's bill ) has received royal assent from the monarch of the United Kingdom . It is a legacy of the time prior to 1488 when Parliamentary and judicial business was conducted in French , the language of the educated classes after the Norman Conquest of 1066 . It is one of a small number of Norman French phrases that continue to be used in the course of Parliamentary procedure .

The Research Assessment Exercise ( RAE ) was an exercise undertaken approximately every 5 years on behalf of the four UK higher education funding councils ( HEFCE , SHEFC , HEFCW , DELNI ) to evaluate the quality of research undertaken by British higher education institutions . RAE submissions from each subject area ( or unit of assessment ) are given a rank by a subject specialist peer review panel . The rankings are used to inform the allocation of quality weighted research funding ( QR ) each higher education institution receives from their national funding council . Previous RAEs took place in 1986 , 1989 , 1992 , 1996 and 2001 . The most recent results were published in December 2008 . It was replaced by the Research Excellence Framework in 2014 .   Various media have produced league tables of institutions and disciplines based on the 2008 RAE results . Different methodologies lead to similar but non-identical rankings .

The Rance Tidal Power Station is a tidal power station located on the estuary of the Rance River in Brittany , France .   Opened in 1966 as the world 's first tidal power station , it is currently operated by Électricité de France and was for 45 years the largest tidal power station in the world by installed capacity until the South Korean Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station surpassed it in 2011 .   Its 24 turbines reach peak output at 240 megawatts ( MW ) and average 57 MW , a capacity factor of approximately 24 % . At an annual output of approximately 500 GWh ( 491 GWh in 2009 , 523 GWh in 2010 ) , it supplies 0.12 % of the power demand of France . The power density is of the order of 2.6 W/m2 . The cost of electricity production is estimated at / kWh .   The barrage is 750 m long , from Brebis point in the west to Briantais point in the east . The power plant portion of the dam is 332.5 m long and the tidal basin measures 22.5 km2 .

LAPCAT ( Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies ) was a 36-month European FP6 study to examine ways to produce engines for a Mach 4-8 hypersonic speed aircraft . The project ended in April 2008 . It was funded by the European Commission research and development fund ( rather than ESA ) , and cost 7 million euros .   LAPCAT II , a 10 million euro , four-year , follow on project , started in October 2008 . The study aims to refine some of the results of the first study `` allowing the definition of a detailed development roadmap '' of a Mach five vehicle .

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

The European Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition in which elite figure skaters compete for the title of European Champion .   The 1894 Championships were held on January 28th in Vienna , Austria .   The competition was open only to men 's singles . The competitors performed only compulsory figures .

Reference Intakes ( RIs ) are a means of communicating maximum recommended nutrient intake to the public . Reference Intakes replaced the term Guideline Daily Amount ( GDA ) , although the principles behind both are the same . The major difference is that GDAs existed for men , women and children ; there is only one set of RIs for an average adult .   The values for the nutrients are all maximums , not targets . The information is for guidance only and should not be considered individual advice .   The change from GDA to RI on labels on pre-packaged food and drinks sold in the UK is due to a European Regulation . The intention of the EU Regulation is to harmonise across Europe the content , expression and presentation of the nutrition information given to consumers .   Since RIs are for an average adult , concerns have been raised by major retailers and manufacturers that they may face criticism for misrepresenting the contribution to the diet of products targeted at children , particularly given concerns around children 's diet and obesity levels .   RIs can be combined with traffic light labeling to make the information easily and rapidly understood .

On the Belgian level it coordinates the cooperative initiatives of its members REScoop Vlaanderen and REScoop Wallonie .


Question: In 2018, the installation pace for green power sources within European Union territories fell below fifty percent compared with their peak capacity additions recorded back during 2010's boom period.

2018 Renewable Energy Installations in the EU Lag Behind Peak Levels Achieved in 2010
In recent years, the European Union (EU) has strived to enhance its commitment to sustainable development through various policies aimed at increasing renewable energy usage across its member states. Despite significant strides since the inception of formalized EU-wide energy strategies post-2005, data reveals that the pace of installing new renewable capacity slowed considerably during certain periods. Specifically, figures indicate that the number of renewable energy installations carried out throughout the bloc in 2018 fell significantly short—less than half—of what had once been considered peak performance back in 2010.
This observation underscores challenges faced when attempting to maintain momentum amid fluctuating political priorities and economic conditions impacting investment decisions related to green technology advancements. Nevertheless, foundational legal frameworks established under treaties like Lisbon continue providing essential guidance while fostering intergovernmental collaboration necessary for achieving collective goals outlined therein regarding resource diversification away from traditional reliance upon imported hydrocarbons.
As recently as last decade’s midpoint circa 2015, nearly two-thirds (~67%) of all consumed energy still originated externally; however, ongoing dialogue centered around ambitious targets set forth earlier this century aims now to drastically curb dependency via domestic renewables expansion moving forward into next generation planning cycles ahead. Notably, commitments ratified early-on within current millennium encompassed aspirational reductions targeting GHG output alongside quantitative benchmarks designed specifically to elevate non-fossil sources’ contribution share within overall mix going forwards.
To illustrate: By mid-century mark approaching horizon year twenty-thirty (i.e., ~2030), policymakers envisaged slashing carbon footprint vis-a-vis baseline metrics recorded roughly four decades prior whilst simultaneously ramping up RE penetration rates accordingly – thereby setting stage whereby continent might eventually emerge net exporter rather than perennially indebted importer vis-à-vis volatile international markets trading finite commodities instead! Indeed, preliminary analysis suggests tangible benefits accruing already even amidst transitional phase characterized largely by uncertainty surrounding precise trajectories yet-to-be determined fully… Nonetheless, clear directionality persists undiminished despite intermittent setbacks along winding path toward ultimate destination envisioned collaboratively amongst stakeholders spanning entire geographical expanse encapsulated collectively underneath Brussels-based supranational governance umbrella structure overseeing myriad interconnected jurisdictions comprising modern-day geopolitical entity known simply henceforth “Europe”.

Thus far, concerted endeavors undertaken jointly pursuant overarching vision articulated repeatedly atop highest echelons power hierarchy seem poised deliver transformative outcomes long sought after zealously albeit gradually realized stepwise fashion consistent underlying ethos emphasizing incrementalism over radical

On the Belgian level it coordinates the cooperative initiatives of its members REScoop Vlaanderen and REScoop Wallonie .

40 Gigabit Ethernet ( 40GbE ) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ( 100GbE ) are groups of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at rates of 40 and 100 gigabits per second ( 40 and 100 Gbit/s ) , respectively . The technology was first defined by the IEEE 802.3ba-2010 standard and later by the 802.3bg-2011 , 802.3bj-2014 , and 802.3bm-2015 standards .   The standards define numerous port types with different optical and electrical interfaces and different numbers of optical fiber strands per port . Short distances over twinaxial cable are supported . 40GBASE-T uses twisted pair cabling for 40 Gbit/s over up to 30 m.

10:10 is a charity that enables people to take practical action on climate change , and combines these local actions to inspire a more ambitious approach to the issue at every level of society .   Founded in 2009 , 10:10 began by campaigning for a 10 % reduction in carbon emissions in 2010 , and has since broadened its approach to include a range of projects focused on carbon reduction and renewable energy .   Its three main projects are Solar Schools , which helps communities crowdfund the cost of solar panels for their local schools ; #itshappening , which showcases positive examples of progress on climate change ; and Back Balcombe , which supports a solar power cooperative in the Sussex village targeted for oil drilling , and promotes community-scale renewable energy nationally .

A heavy goods vehicle ( HGV ) , also large goods vehicle ( LGV ) or medium goods vehicle , is the European Union ( EU ) term for any truck with a gross combination mass ( GCM ) of over 3500 kg . Sub-category N2 is used for vehicles between 3500 kg and 12000 kg and N3 for all goods vehicles over 12000 kg as defined in Directive 2001/116/EC . The term medium goods vehicle is used within parts of the UK government to refer to goods vehicles of between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes which according to the EU are also ` large goods vehicles ' .   Commercial carrier vehicles of up to 3500 kg are referred to as Light commercial vehicles and come into category N1 . Confusingly though , parts of the UK government refer to these as ` Light Goods Vehicles ' ( also abbreviated ` LGV ' ) , with the term ` LGV ' appearing on tax discs for these smaller vehicles . Tax discs use the term ` HGV ' for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes .   HGVs must not exceed 40 tonnes laden weight or 18.75 m in length to cross boundaries in the EU , but longer and heavier vehicles ( LHVs ) known as Gigaliner , EuroCombi , EcoLiner ,  innovative commercial vehicle , mega-truck , etc. , typically 25.25 m long and weighing up to 60 tonnes are used in some countries , and the implications of allowing them to cross borders was being considered .

Europe is often divided into regions based on geographical , cultural or historical criteria . Many European structures currently exist , some are cultural , economic , or political - examples include the Council of Europe , the European Broadcasting Union with the Eurovision Song Contest , and the European Olympic Committees with the European Games . Several Transcontinental countries which border mainland Europe , are often included as belonging to a `` wider Europe '' or the `` European family '' including , Russia , Turkey , Azerbaijan , Georgia , Kazakhstan , Cyprus , Armenia , Israel , Greenland , as well as the Special member state territories and the European Union .

Declared net capacity ( DNC ) is a measure of the contribution that a power station makes to the overall capacity of a distribution grid . It is measured in megawatts ( MW ) , or in megawatts electrical ( MWe ) for a thermal power station .   DNC is sometimes expanded as developed net capacity in British English ; The two expansions have exactly the same meaning .   In a conventional power station , the DNC rating is simply the maximum rated output minus the power consumed onsite . It is sometimes termed the switchyard output , and takes no account of transmission losses in the grid , which may be considerable in the case of a remote hydro station for example . Most but not all quoted power station ratings are DNC ratings rather than the simple capacity of the alternators .   In the case of a wind power station , the situation is more complex . The alternator of a wind turbine is normally specified to match the strongest wind in which the turbine is designed to operate . This is because most of the cost of a wind turbine is in the rotor and the tower and bearings that support it , rather than in the alternator . It makes no economic sense to restrict the size of the alternator to anything less than the maximum that the rotor will deliver . However , this means that , unlike a conventional power station , a wind turbine rarely achieves its maximum rated output while operating .   While for conventional power stations , the station is only regarded as available if the full power output is achievable , for wind power stations no power at all may be available depending on the wind strength , and even if a turbine is operating it may be producing as little as a tenth of its maximum rated capacity . A typical average figure is between one-third and one-half of the maximum rated capacity .   There are several suggested methods of allowing for this when quoting a DNC figure for a wind farm , but none has gained general acceptance , and the capacity quoted for a wind farm is normally a simple total of the maximum rated capacities of the turbines , sometimes termed the peak capacity . Many wind schemes now also quote their expected or actual annual output in GWh , to allow more meaningful comparisons with other forms of generation than is possible just by considering this total rated output .

RIBA European Awards are part of an award program by the Royal Institute of British Architects . Complemented by the RIBA National and International Awards , it rewards `` the excellent work being done by RIBA members in the European Union outside the UK '' . Awarded annually , it is given to a varying number of buildings . They are judged by the RIBA Awards Group , and winners are eligible for the Stirling Prize .

Langage Power Station is a combined-cycle power plant near the city of Plymouth in Devon , England .   Centrica , owners of the site , announced on 16 June 2006 that the natural gas fired power station was to be constructed on their behalf by Alstom . Section 36 consent was granted in 2000 and Reserved Matters were approved in 2005 . The 885 MW plant was expected to cost # 400 million and to start generating in early 2009 , but problems with internal pipework pushed this back . The power station was completed and operations started in March 2010 .   Langage was set to be the first fossil fuel power station built in the UK since 2005 , but due to delays it was preceded by Marchwood Power Station , which was commissioned in 2009 . Multiple other CCGT stations were also commissioned around this time , including Pembroke Power Station and the West Burton Power Station CCGT extension . The station was commissioned against an expected ` energy gap ' in UK generating capacity , caused by the expected closure of nuclear and older coal-fired stations .   The power station had permission to build three gas-powered turbines when it bought the site in 2004 , but due to land constraints they were only able to build two .   The plant uses two Alstom GT26 gas turbines , each driving an air-cooled turbogenerator , with a heat recovery steam generator powering a single STF30C steam turbine which also drives another air-cooled turbogenerator .   Centrica put the plant up for sale in May 2014 , stating an aim to invest in smaller , more flexible power stations .

Stadion Feijenoord ( -LSB- ˌstaːdijɔn ˈfɛiənoːrt -RSB- ) , more commonly known by its nickname De Kuip ( -LSB- də ˈkœyp -RSB- ; the Tub ) , is a stadium in Rotterdam , Netherlands , that was completed in 1937 . The name is derived from the Feijenoord district in Rotterdam , and from the club with the same name ( although the club 's name was internationalised to Feyenoord in 1973 ) . The stadium 's original capacity was 64,000 . In 1949 , it was expanded to 69,000 , and in 1994 it was renovated again for a capacity of 51,117 . In 1999 , a significant amount of restoration and interior work took place at the stadium prior to its use as a venue in the UEFA Euro 2000 tournament , although capacity was largely unaffected .

The Republic of Venice ( Repùblica Vèneta Repubblica di Venezia ) , traditionally known as the Most Serene Republic of Venice ( Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta  Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia ) , was a sovereign state and maritime republic in northeastern Italy , which existed for a millennium between the 8th century and the 18th century . It was based in the lagoon communities of the historically prosperous city of Venice , and was a leading European economic and trading power during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance .   The Venetian city state was founded as a safe haven for the people escaping persecution in mainland Europe after the decline of the Roman Empire . In its early years , it prospered on the salt trade . In subsequent centuries , the city state established a thalassocracy . It dominated trade on the Mediterranean Sea , including commerce between Europe and North Africa , as well as Asia . The Venetian navy was used in the Crusades . Venice achieved territorial conquests along the Adriatic Sea . The city became home to an extremely wealthy merchant class , who patronized renowned art and architecture along the city 's lagoons . Venetian merchants were influential financiers in Europe . The city was also the birthplace of great European explorers , especially Marco Polo , as well as the classical music composer Vivaldi .   The republic was ruled by the Doge , who was elected by members of the Great Council of Venice , the city-state 's parliament . The ruling class was an oligarchy of merchants and aristocrats . Venice and other Italian maritime republics played a key role in fostering capitalism . Venetian citizens generally supported the system of governance . The city-state enforced strict laws and employed ruthless tactics in its prisons .   The opening of new trade routes to the Americas and the East Indies via the Atlantic Ocean marked the beginning of Venice 's decline as a powerful maritime republic . The city state suffered defeats from the navy of the Ottoman Empire . In 1797 , the republic was plundered by retreating Austrian and then French forces , following an invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte . Venice then became a part of a unified Italy in the 19th century .
