Question:
 Around 1990, approximately 15 years subsequent to the inception of the global warming pattern in the mid-1970s, there was an observed reversal in the worldwide decrease in surface solar radiation known as 'global dimming'. This turnaround highlights how interconnected various climate phenomena can be over time periods spanning decades.

 Reversal of Global Dimming Trend Post Mid-1980s
The phenomenon known as "global dimming," characterized by reduced sunlight reaching the earth’s surface, experienced a notable reversal approximately fifteen years following the onset of discernible global warming trends in the mid-seventies. Initially attributed to increased air pollution blocking solar radiation, particularly soot particles emitted through various forms of combustion, global dimming was observed until roughly the late eighties when measures against pollutants started reversing this effect.
Since then, concerted global efforts aimed at curbing sulfur dioxide emissions – a key contributor to both acid rain and particulate matter leading to dimming – have shown positive outcomes. Environmental policies introduced post-eighties led to cleaner skies allowing higher sun penetration once again. However, while the cessation of global dimming might seem beneficial initially, experts warn of unintended consequences: less cloud cover resulting from decreased atmospheric aerosols could exacerbate ongoing global warming issues instead of mitigating them.
This interplay highlights complexities within climate dynamics where seemingly isolated phenomena can unexpectedly interact, complicating predictions regarding overall planetary health trajectories. For instance, although addressing traditional pollutant sources helped reverse global dimming, doing so inadvertently removed some natural cooling mechanisms offsetting greenhouse gas-driven heating effects. Thus, understanding interconnectedness across different aspects becomes crucial for formulating effective strategies combating broader climate crises effectively without creating new challenges unintentionally downline.
In light of these observations, continuous monitoring alongside adaptive policy-making frameworks remains essential going forward; balancing immediate environmental cleanup goals with longer-term stabilization objectives requires nuanced approaches considering multifaceted implications inherent throughout complex ecosystems. Only thusly can humanity hope to navigate successfully through current uncertain times marked simultaneously by retreating dimming shadows yet intensifying warmth enveloping fragile ecological balances globally.

Note how I maintained:
* Length (~same word count)
* Text Complexity & Style (formal tone, use of technical language appropriate for discussing climate-related topics)
* Semantic Similarity (retaining focus on historical shifts in environmental conditions linked specifically hereafter global dimming vs original doc focusing solely upon explanations behind general concept of ‘global warming’). Also ensured Claim-Doc Relationship stayed consistent despite topic alteration—both still explore relationships amongst observable climate pattern alterations over recent history periods.

In medicine , a late effect is a condition that appears after the acute phase of an earlier , causal condition has run its course . A late effect can be caused directly by the earlier condition , or indirectly by the treatment for the earlier condition . Some late effects can occur decades later . Historically , late effects have been very difficult to connect with their causes , but as survivorship and life span has increased and `` follow up '' has become standard practice , these connections are becoming established . A period , often very long , of health unaffected by both the initial and the late effect conditions distinguishes a late effect from a sequela or a complication .

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

The 1990s were a decade of marked innovation in video gaming . It was a decade of transition from sprite-based graphics to full-fledged 3D graphics and it gave rise to several genres of video games including , but not limited to , the first person shooter , real-time strategy , survival horror , and MMO . Handheld gaming began to become more popular throughout the decade , thanks in part to the release of the Game Boy . Arcade games , although still relatively popular in the early 1990s , begin a decline as home consoles become more common .

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 .

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

The 1910s ( pronounced `` nineteen-tens '' , also abbreviated as the `` teens '' ) was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1 , 1910 , and ended on December 31 , 1919 . The 1910s represented the culmination of European militarism which had its beginnings during the second half of the 19th century . The conservative lifestyles during the first half of the decade , as well as the legacy of military alliances , was forever changed by the assassination , on June 28 , 1914 , of Archduke Franz Ferdinand , the heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne . The murder triggered a chain of events in which , within 33 days , World War I broke out in Europe on August 1 , 1914 . The conflict dragged on until a truce was declared on November 11 , 1918 , leading to the controversial , one-sided Treaty of Versailles , which was signed on June 28 , 1919 .   The war 's end triggered the abdication of various monarchies and the collapse of five of the last modern empires of Russia , Germany , China , Ottoman Turkey and Austria-Hungary , with the latter splintered into Austria , Hungary , southern Poland ( who acquired most of their land in a war with Soviet Russia ) , Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia , as well as the unification of Romania with Transylvania and Moldavia . However , each of these states ( with the possible exception of Yugoslavia ) had large German and Hungarian minorities , there creating some unexpected problems that would be brought to light in the next two decades . ( See Dissolution of Austro-Hungarian Empire : Successor States for better description of composition of names of successor countries/states following the splinter . )   The decade was also a period of revolution in a number of countries . The Mexican Revolution spearheaded the trend in November 1910 , which led to the ousting of dictator Porfirio Diaz , developing into a violent civil war that dragged on until mid-1920 , not long after a new Mexican Constitution was signed and ratified . Russia also had a similar fate , since World War I led to a collapse in morale as well as to economic chaos . This atmosphere encouraged the establishment of Bolshevism , which was later renamed as communism . Like the Mexican Revolution , the Russian Revolution of 1917 , known as the October Revolution , immediately turned to Russian Civil War that dragged until approximately late 1922 .   Much of the music in these years was ballroom-themed . Many of the fashionable restaurants were equipped with dance floors . Prohibition in the United States began January 16 , 1919 , with the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution .

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 .

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

Question:
 According to Kerr's observation in 2007, the cooling effect provided by the Earth’s reflective atmospheric veil appears to be diminishing gradually during recent years. This gossamer-like layer has traditionally served as an umbrella for our planet against excessive solar radiation but now it shows signs of thinning out.
(Note: I added some details like "gradually", "recent years" etc., which does not change meaning significantly.)

 Atmospheric Haze Variations Over Time
Recent studies indicate that since Kerr’s observation in 2007, there has been noticeable thinning in the atmospheric layer responsible for reflecting sunlight back into space—a phenomenon crucial for regulating planetary temperatures. This reflective haze, once abundant globally, now exhibits signs of diminishing density over several continents during recent decades. Satellite data reveals changes attributed partly to reduced air pollutants resulting from stricter regulations but also possibly linked to broader climate shifts. Understanding how variations in this light-scattering veil impact heat retention becomes increasingly vital amidst ongoing discussions regarding anthropogenic effects on weather systems.

This passage maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, and thematic focus while addressing different content related to environmental science—specifically focusing on atmospheric phenomena rather than astronomical imagery. Both texts discuss aspects influenced by human actions yet emphasize scientific inquiry pertinent to understanding complex interactions within nature.

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction ( RHEED ) is a technique used to characterize the surface of crystalline materials . RHEED systems gather information only from the surface layer of the sample , which distinguishes RHEED from other materials characterization methods that also rely on diffraction of high-energy electrons . Transmission electron microscopy , another common electron diffraction method samples the bulk of the sample due to the geometry of the system . Low-energy electron diffraction ( LEED ) is also surface sensitive , but LEED achieves surface sensitivity through the use of low energy electrons .

Deane Galloway Keller ( August 1 , 1940 -- January 4 , 2005 ) was an American artist , academic and author . Keller was a draftsman , painter , sculptor , and teacher who instructed students in the visual arts for forty years , most notably in figure drawing and the artistic application of human anatomy . He is credited with explaining that `` drawing offers a unique record of an encounter with a culture , of experience transformed from fleeting moment to lasting resonance . ''

Diffraction spikes are lines radiating from bright light sources in photographs . They are artifacts caused by light diffracting around the support vanes of the secondary mirror in reflecting telescopes , or edges of non-circular camera apertures .

Richard R. Fisher is an American astrophysicist who worked in academia and at NASA . He retired in 2012 .   Fisher received his BA with honors from Grinnell College in 1961 and his PhD in astrogeophysics from University of Colorado in 1965 . He was an Assistant Professor at University of Hawaii from 1965 to 1971 , a staff scientist and then Section Head at the Sacramento Peak Observatory from 1971 to 1976 , and worked at the National Center for Atmospheric Research from 1975 to 1991 . He joined NASA in 1991 as the Branch Chief for the Solar Physics Branch at the Goddard Space Flight Center from 1991 to 1998 , was the Laboratory Chief for the Laboratory for Astrophysics and Solar Physics at Goddard from 1998 to 2002 . He was a primary investigator on the Spartan and other satellite projects that were launched from several Space Shuttle missions STS-56 , STS-64 , STS-69 , STS-87 , and STS-95 , which measured solar wind and other solar emissions , and he was responsible for coordinating the work of Spartan with the European Solar and Heliospheric Observatory .   From 2002 until his retirement in 2012 , he was the director of the Sun-Earth Connections Division , Deputy Director of the Earth -- Sun Systems Division and then Director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA headquarters in Washington , DC . As Director of the Heliophysics Division , his division flew more satellites than any other NASA division , and he was responsible for a $ 630 million annual budget and had to manage high expectations for solar research within the budgetary restraints caused by the 2007-2009 US recession . He was responsible for the development and launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2010 , which Fisher said `` would do for heliophysics what the Hubble Space Telescope has done for astrophysics in general '' , and the first images from which were widely hailed in the media .   He was a spokesman for NASA in 2010 when it announced that the sun was entering a cycle of increasingly powerful storms that would peak in 2013 . He also announced the release of NASA 's second smart phone app , the 3D sun , which allowed people to monitor the sun in realtime.Betsy Mason for Wired .

It was said of him in 2014 that `` If it 's solar astronomy at NASA , it 's Dick Fisher '' .

Kramers is an old lunar crater that is located on the northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon . It lies some distance to the west of the larger crater Coulomb , and to the northwest of the smaller Weber .   The outer rim of Kramers is heavily eroded and worn , although the perimeter of the original crater can be readily discerned . The younger , but comparably sized formation Kramers C intrudes into the northeast rim , and the two form a crater pair . The later crater has a terraced inner wall and a central peak at the midpoint .   Kramers lies within the Coulomb-Sarton Basin , a 530 km wide impact crater of Pre-Nectarian age .

Koro is a culture-specific syndrome delusional disorder in which an individual has an overpowering belief that one 's genitalia are retracting and will disappear , despite the lack of any true longstanding changes to the genitals . Koro is also known as shrinking penis , and it is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders . The syndrome occurs worldwide , and mass hysteria of genital-shrinkage anxiety has a history in Africa , Asia , and Europe . In the United States and Europe , the syndrome is commonly known as genital retraction syndrome . The condition can be diagnosed through psychological assessment along with physical examination to rule out genuine disorders of the genitalia that could be causing true retraction .

Radar astronomy is a technique of observing nearby astronomical objects by reflecting microwaves off target objects and analyzing the reflections . This research has been conducted for six decades . Radar astronomy differs from radio astronomy in that the latter is a passive observation and the former an active one . Radar systems have been used for a wide range of solar system studies . The radar transmission may either be pulsed or continuous .   The strength of the radar return signal is proportional to the inverse fourth-power of the distance . Upgraded facilities , increased transceiver power , and improved apparatus have increased observational opportunities .   Radar techniques provide information unavailable by other means , such as testing general relativity by observing Mercury and providing a refined value for the astronomical unit . Radar images provide information about the shapes and surface properties of solid bodies , which can not be obtained by other ground-based techniques .   Relying upon high powered terrestrial radars ( of up to one MW ) radar astronomy is able to provide extremely accurate astrometric information on the structure , composition and movement of solar objects . This aids in forming long-term predictions of asteroid-Earth impacts , as illustrated by the object 99942 Apophis . In particular , optical observations measure where an object appears in the sky , but can not measure the distance with great accuracy ( relying on Parallax becomes more difficult when objects are small or poorly illuminated ) . Radar , on the other hand , directly measures the distance to the object ( and how fast it is changing ) . The combination of optical and radar observations normally allows the prediction of orbits at least decades , and sometimes centuries , into the future .   There are two radar astronomy facilities that are in regular use , the Arecibo Planetary Radar and the Goldstone Solar System Radar .

Lambda Aurigae ( λ Aur , λ Aurigae ) is the Bayer designation for a solar analog star in the northern constellation of Auriga . It has the traditional name Al Hurr and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.71 . Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission , it is approximately 41.2 ly distant from the Earth .   This is a G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G1 V . In terms of composition it is similar to the Sun , while the mass and radius are slightly larger . It is 73 % more luminous than the Sun and radiates this energy from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of . At this heat , the star glows with the yellow hue of a G-type star . It has a low level of surface activity and is a candidate Maunder minimum analog .   Lambda Aurigae has been examined for the presence of excess infrared emission that may indicate the presence of a circumstellar disk of dust , but no significant surplus has been observed . It is a possible member of the Epsilon Indi Moving Group of stars that share a common motion through space . The space velocity components of this star are = .

Refining ( also perhaps called by the mathematical term affining ) is the process of purification of a ( 1 ) substance or a ( 2 ) form . The term is usually used of a natural resource that is almost in a usable form , but which is more useful in its pure form . For instance , most types of natural petroleum will burn straight from the ground , but it will burn poorly and quickly clog an engine with residues and by-products . The term is broad , and may include more drastic transformations , such as the reduction of ore to metal ( for which see Refining ( metallurgy ) ) .   The refining of liquids is often accomplished by distillation or fractionation ; this process is useful , for example , for isolating different fractions of petroleum . Gases can be refined in this way as well , by being cooled and/or compressed until they liquefy . Gases and liquids can also be refined by extraction with a selective solvent that dissolves away either the substance of interest , or the unwanted impurities .   Many solids can be refined by growing crystals in a solution of the impure material ; the regular structure of the crystal tends to favor the desired material and exclude other kinds of particles .   Chemical reactions are often used to remove impurities of particular types .   The use of silicon and other semiconductors in electronics depends on precise control of impurities . The zone melting process developed by William Gardner Pfann was used to produce pure germanium , and subsequently float-zone silicon became available when Henry Theuerer of Bell Labs adapted Pfann 's method to silicon .   Types of materials that are usually refined :  metals - see Refining ( metallurgy )  petroleum  silicon  sugar  table salt  vegetable oil  air

The dark-sky movement is a campaign to reduce light pollution . The advantages of reducing light pollution include an increased number of stars visible at night , reducing the effects of electric lighting on the environment , and cutting down on energy usage . Earth Hour and National Dark-Sky Week are two examples of such efforts .   The movement started with professional and amateur astronomers alarmed that nocturnal skyglow from urban areas was blotting out the sight of stars . For example , the world-famous Palomar Observatory in California is threatened by sky-glow from the nearby city of Escondido and local businesses . For similar reasons , astronomers in Arizona helped push the governor there to veto a bill in 2012 which would have lifted a ban on illuminated billboards .   Nocturnal animals can be harmed by light pollution because they are biologically evolved to be dependent on an environment with a certain amount of hours of uninterrupted daytime and nighttime . The over-illumination of the night sky is affecting these organisms ( especially birds ) . This biological study of darkness is called scotobiology . Light pollution has also been found to affect human circadian rhythms .   The dark-sky movement encourages the use of full-cutoff fixtures that cast little or no light upward in public areas and generally to encourage communities to adopt lighting regulations . A 2011 project is to establish `` dark sky oasis '' in suburban areas .


Question:
 As observed by Kerr in 2007, there appears to be a reduction in the thickness of the Earth's cooling, sunlight-deflecting aerosol layer during approximately the last ten years. This atmospheric change could potentially impact our climate system more significantly than previously anticipated.
(Note: I added additional information at the end for further elaboration but it can also be removed if you want claims with exact same sentence structure.)

 Atmospheric Changes Over Time: Observations from Kerr (2007)

(Kerr 2007), a notable scientific study, highlights significant alterations in Earth’s atmospheric conditions observed within recent decades. Specifically, attention is drawn to changes in the reflective properties of our stratospheric layer – often referred to as “haze” - responsible for deflecting solar radiation away from Earth’s surface. According to findings published around thirteen years ago, there appears to have been a noticeable thinning of this protective veil during approximately ten preceding years.

This phenomenon holds considerable implications regarding global temperatures since reduced reflectivity means increased absorption of heat energy leading potentially higher average readings across continents oceans alike. Such shifts could exacerbate existing concerns surrounding anthropogenic climate change impacts already evident through rising sea levels extreme weather events etcetera.

The redshift rocket , envisaged by novelist Karl Schroeder , is a fictional method of spacecraft propulsion .   It is a variant on Eugen Sänger 's antimatter rocket . One of the key difficulties of harnessing the energy from matter-antimatter collisions is that most of the energy released by them is in the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum . The redshift rocket proposes to use particle beams , such as those produced by ultrafast laser pulses . Both the matter and antimatter would be accelerated to near light speed away from the spacecraft before colliding in the reaction chamber . This would lead to the radiation that reaches the spacecraft being redshifted . If the speed of the particle beams is great enough , the radiation that hits the spacecraft will be of a frequency that can be reflected . Energy absorbed by the spacecraft could be used to help power the particle beams .   But as a result only a very small fraction of the matter and antimatter annihilation reaction would contribute to the propulsion and the main source of thrust would be the particle beams themselves , which must be generated by other means .

Kodachrome is a brand name for a non-substantive , color reversal film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1935 . It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and still photography . Because of its complex processing requirements , the film was sold process-paid in the United States until 1954 when a legal ruling prohibited this . Elsewhere , this arrangement continued . For many years it was used for professional color photography , especially for images intended for publication in print media . Because of the growth and popularity of alternative photographic materials , its complex processing requirements , and the widespread transition to digital photography , Kodachrome lost its market share , its manufacturing was discontinued in 2009 and its processing ended in December 2010 . After announcing the return of Ektachrome at the beginning of 2017 , Kodak Alaris is considering to restart the production of Kodachrome .

David Kerr is a British cinematographer based in England .   Kerr began his career ironically with an eye for much smaller details .

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program ( DMSP ) monitors meteorological , oceanographic , and solar-terrestrial physics for the United States Department of Defense . The program is managed by the Air Force Space Command with on-orbit operations provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . The ( originally classified ) mission of the satellites was revealed in March 1973 . They provide cloud cover imagery from polar orbits that are sun-synchronous at nominal altitude of 450 nautical miles ( 830 km ) .

Ralph Franklin Keeling ( born 1959 ) is a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography . He is the Principal Investigator for the Atmospheric Oxygen Research Group at Scripps and is the director of the Scripps Program , the measurement program behind the Keeling curve , which was started by his father Charles David Keeling in 1958 . Ralph Keeling has developed precise instruments and techniques for the measurement of atmospheric oxygen and anthropogenic in the ocean , and for the analysis of land and ocean carbon sinks .

Laser guide star is an artificial star image created for use in astronomical adaptive optics imaging . Adaptive optics ( AO ) systems require a wavefront reference source in order to correct atmospheric distortion of light ( called astronomical seeing ) . Sufficiently bright stars are not available in all parts of the sky , which greatly limits the usefulness of natural guide star adaptive optics . Instead , one can create an artificial guide star by shining a laser into the atmosphere . This star can be positioned anywhere the telescope desires to point , opening up much greater amounts of the sky to adaptive optics .   Because the laser beam is deflected by astronomical seeing on the way up , the returning laser light does not move around in the sky as astronomical sources do . In order to keep astronomical images steady , a natural star nearby in the sky must be monitored in order that the motion of the laser guide star can be subtracted using a tip -- tilt mirror . However , this star can be much fainter than is required for natural guide star adaptive optics because it is used to measure only tip and tilt , and all higher-order distortions are measured with the laser guide star . This means that many more stars are suitable , and a correspondingly larger fraction of the sky is accessible .

A debris disk is a circumstellar disk of dust and debris in orbit around a star . Sometimes these disks contain prominent rings , as seen in the image of Fomalhaut on the right . Debris disks have been found around both mature and young stars , as well as at least one debris disk in orbit around an evolved neutron star . Younger debris disks can constitute a phase in the formation of a planetary system following the protoplanetary disk phase , when terrestrial planets may finish growing . They can also be produced and maintained as the remnants of collisions between planetesimals , otherwise known as asteroids and comets .   By 2001 , over 900 candidate stars had been found to possess a debris disk . They are usually discovered by examining the star system in infrared light and looking for an excess of radiation beyond that emitted by the star . This excess is inferred to be radiation from the star that has been absorbed by the dust in the disk , then re-radiated away as infrared energy .   Debris disks are often described as massive analogs to the debris in the Solar System . Most known debris disks have radii of 10 -- 100 astronomical units ( AU ) ; they resemble the Kuiper belt in the Solar System , but with much more dust . Some debris disks contain a component of warmer dust located within 10 AU from the central star . This dust is sometimes called exozodiacal dust by analogy to zodiacal dust in the Solar System .

The 10th Aerospace Defense Group was inactivated on 31 December 1970 by the United States Air Force ( USAF ) . Its last assignment was with Fourteenth Aerospace Force at Vandenberg Air Force Base , California . The 10th Aerospace Defense Group and Squadron were the sole operators of the United States ' second nuclear-tipped anti-satellite weapon , Weapons System 437 ( WS-437 ) . For this reason the squadron continues the group history through temporary bestowal .   The United States Air Force 's 10th Air Defense Squadron is also an inactive USAF organization , that preceded and followed the 10th group at Vandenberg as the 10th Aerospace Defense Squadron . Once WS-437 became non-operational in the 1970s , the squadron assumed the mission of launching Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites into orbit until its mission was transferred . It was later activated an air defense unit and from 1992 to 1997 was located at Wheeler AFS , Hawaii .

Scully , and reported in early 1999 , is an elaboration on the quantum eraser experiment that incorporates concepts considered in Wheeler 's delayed choice experiment . The experiment was designed to investigate peculiar consequences of the well-known double-slit experiment in quantum mechanics , as well as the consequences of quantum entanglement .   The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment investigates a paradox . If a photon manifests itself as though it had come by a single path to the detector , then `` common sense '' ( which Wheeler and others challenge ) says it must have entered the double-slit device as a particle . If a photon manifests itself as though it had come by two indistinguishable paths , then it must have entered the double-slit device as a wave . If the experimental apparatus is changed while the photon is in mid‑flight , then the photon should reverse its original `` decision '' as to whether to be a wave or a particle . Wheeler pointed out that when these assumptions are applied to a device of interstellar dimensions , a last-minute decision made on Earth on how to observe a photon could alter a decision made millions or even billions of years ago .   While delayed choice experiments have confirmed the seeming ability of measurements made on photons in the present to alter events occurring in the past , this requires a non-standard view of quantum mechanics . If a photon in flight is interpreted as being in a so-called `` superposition of states '' , i.e. if it is interpreted as something that has the potentiality to manifest as a particle or wave , but during its time in flight is neither , then there is no time paradox . This is the standard view , and recent experiments have supported it .


Question: The warmer zones and cooler areas generally offset one another, resulting in minimal influence on worldwide climate averages.

 Climate Stabilization through Thermal Equilibrium
Climate stabilization involves maintaining thermal equilibrium across different geographical zones to minimize overall global temperature fluctuations. Despite localized hotspots and cooler areas, they generally offset each other without significantly impacting average temperatures globally. However, achieving true stability requires addressing several key aspects: balancing heat absorption and radiation; managing atmospheric composition to control greenhouse effects; and ensuring adequate distribution of solar energy received at various latitudes. By fine-tuning these elements, we can maintain a consistent planetary warmth conducive to supporting diverse ecosystems while preventing drastic shifts detrimental to both nature and civilization alike.
This approach emphasizes harmonizing regional climates rather than solely focusing on cooling overheated zones or warming colder ones. Such comprehensive strategies might involve enhancing cloud cover in warmer areas to reflect more sunlight back into space, promoting vegetation regrowth where deforestation has occurred (which absorbs CO₂), and utilizing geoengineering techniques when necessary—like injecting reflective particles high above the stratosphere—to counteract excessive heating effectively but cautiously so as not disrupt established weather patterns excessively. Ultimately aiming for zero net gain/loss regarding total earth’s radiative budget ensures long-term sustainability amidst ongoing anthropogenic influences upon our shared biosphere.

Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall , with annual rainfall in the case of tropical rainforests between 250 and , and definitions varying by region for temperate rainforests . The monsoon trough , alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone , plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the Earth 's tropical rainforests .   Around 40 % to 75 % of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests . It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants , insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests . Tropical rainforests have been called the `` jewels of the Earth '' and the `` world 's largest pharmacy '' , because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there . Rainforests are also responsible for 28 % of the world 's oxygen turnover , sometimes misnamed oxygen production , processing it through photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and consuming it through respiration .   The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level . If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned , the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense , tangled growth of vines , shrubs and small trees , called a jungle . The term jungle is also sometimes applied to tropical rainforests generally .

The 1997-98 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season ran year-round from 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998 . It was made up of three different basins and seasons ; the   1997 -- 98 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season west of 90 ° E  1997 -- 98 Australian region cyclone season between 90 ° E and 160 ° E  1997 -- 98 South Pacific cyclone season east of 160 ° E   Category : Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons

The Red Triangle is the colloquial name of a roughly triangle-shaped region off the coast of northern California , extending from Bodega Bay , north of San Francisco , out slightly beyond the Farallon Islands , and down to the Big Sur region , south of Monterey . The area has a very large population of marine mammals , such as elephant seals , harbor seals , sea otters , and sea lions , which are favored meals of great white sharks . Around thirty-eight percent of recorded great white shark attacks on humans in the United States have occurred within the Red Triangle -- eleven percent of the worldwide total . The area encompasses the beaches of the heavily populated San Francisco Bay Area , and many people enjoy surfing , windsurfing , swimming and diving in these waters .

Knickerbockers or knickers are a form of men 's or boys ' baggy-kneed trousers particularly popular in the early 20th century United States . Golfers ' plus twos and plus fours are breeches of this type . Before World War II , skiers often wore knickerbockers too , usually ankle-length .   Until after World War I , in many English-speaking countries , boys customarily wore short pants in summer and knickerbockers ( `` knickers '' or `` knee pants '' ) in winter . ( In British English knickers means underwear worn by women . )  At the onset of puberty , they graduated to long trousers . In that era , the transition to `` long pants '' was a major rite of passage . See , for example , the classic song `` Blues in the Night '' by Johnny Mercer : `` My mammy done told me , when I was in knee-pants , my mammy done told me , son ... '' .   Baseball players wear a stylized form of knickerbockers , although the pants have become less baggy in recent decades and some modern ballplayers opt to pull the trousers close to the ankles . The white trousers worn by American football officials are knickerbockers , and while they have become less baggy , they are still worn ending shortly below the knee . In recent years , the NFL has equipped its officials with long trousers rather than knickers in cold weather .

The Kuma -- Manych Depression ( -LSB- Кумо -- Манычская впадина , Kumo -- Manychskaya vpadina -RSB- ) , is a geological depression in southwestern Russia that separates the Russian Plain to the north from Ciscaucasia to the south . It is named after the Kuma and Manych rivers .   It is often regarded as a definition for the natural boundary between Europe and Asia , although some modern sources use the Greater Caucasus watershed instead .   The Rostovsky Biosphere Reserve is located within the Depression .

A Lambert conformal conic projection ( LCC ) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts , portions of the State Plane Coordinate System , and many national and regional mapping systems . It is one of seven projections introduced by Johann Heinrich Lambert in his 1772 publication Anmerkungen und Zusätze zur Entwerfung der Land - und Himmelscharten ( German : Notes and additions for creating ground and aerial charts ) .   Conceptually , the projection seats a cone over the sphere of the Earth and projects the surface conformally onto the cone . The cone is unrolled , and the parallel that was touching the sphere is assigned unit scale . That parallel is called the reference parallel or standard parallel .   By scaling the resulting map , two parallels can be assigned unit scale , with scale decreasing between the two parallels and increasing outside them . This gives the map two standard parallels . In this way , deviation from unit scale can be minimized within a region of interest that lies largely between the two standard parallels . Unlike other conic projections , no true secant form of the projection exists because using a secant cone does not yield the same scale along both standard parallels .

A ranging rod is a surveying instrument used for marking the position of stations and for sightings of those stations as well as for ranging straight lines . Initially these were made of light , thin and straight bamboo or of well seasoned wood such as teak , pine or deodar . They were shod with iron at the bottom and surmounted with a flag about 25 cm square in size . Nowadays they are made of metallic materials only . The rods are usually 3 cm in diameter and 2 m or 3 m long , painted alternatively either red and white or black and white in lengths of 20 cm ( i.e. one link length of metric chain ) . These colours are used so that the rod can be properly sited in case of long distance or bad weather . Ranging rods of greater length , i.e. , 4 m to 6 m , are called ranging poles and are used in case of very long survey lines . Another type of ranging rod is known as an offset rod , which has no flag at the top . It is used for measuring small offsets from the survey line when the work is of an ordinary nature .

Regional economics is a sub-discipline of economics and is often regarded as one of the fields of the social sciences . It addresses the economic aspect of the regional problems that are spatially analyzable so that theoretical or policy implications can be derived with respect to regions whose geographical scope ranges from local to global areas .

A lap-lap is a waistcloth or loincloth worn in Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific . This item of clothing has three parts : a front flap , a back flap , and a thread to tie them around the waist . The sides are generally open . How much is covered by the front and back flaps varies .   Related to the lap-lap is the lava-lava , which is an all-round rectangular cloth worn like a kilt or skirt by Polynesians .

In a much broader sense , the series has a generalized sum of .


Question: The warmer zones and cooler areas generally offset one another, resulting in minimal influence on worldwide climate averages.

 Regional Temperature Fluctuations: Balancing Act
While discussions often focus solely on global warming trends, understanding how different regions experience varying temperatures provides crucial insights into overall planetary health. Contrary to common misconceptions, certain parts of the world actually witness cooler conditions amidst general warmth elsewhere—a phenomenon akin to balancing scales. For instance, localized cooling can occur when increased cloud cover reflects sunlight away from earth’s surface; similarly, volcanic eruptions spewing ash particles high into stratosphere temporarily lower atmospheric temperatures globally. However, these instances do not negate overarching trend towards higher mean air temperatures attributed largely to anthropogenic influences—namely burning fossil fuels releasing copious amounts Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Intriguingly enough though, some scientists argue that warmer zones near equator might see slight decreases thanks partly due to enhanced evaporation leading onto formation thicker cumulus clouds acting somewhat counterintuitively against solar radiation penetration closer proximity sun rays hit perpendicular angles maximizing absorption efficiency thus intensifying heating effect compared colder latitudes where diffuse scattered light predominates throughout day cycle rendering less efficient conversion radiant energy thermal form. Nonetheless, despite seemingly contradictory phenomena taking place simultaneously across diverse geographical expanses spanning continents oceans alike, net result remains unequivocally positive acceleration towards universally elevated ambient readings indicative ongoing climate crisis exacerbated manmade pollutants accumulating within fragile biospheric envelope enveloping precious life-sustaining oasis floating adrift vast cosmic abyss.

Kona is a moku or district on the Big Island of Hawaii in the State of Hawaii . In the current system of administration of Hawaii County , the moku of Kona is divided into North Kona District ( Kona ` Akau ) and South Kona District ( Kona Hema ) . The term `` Kona '' is sometimes used to refer to its largest town , Kailua-Kona . Other towns in Kona include Kealakekua , Keauhou , Holualoa , Hōnaunau and Honalo .   In the Hawaiian language , kona means leeward or dry side of the island , as opposed to ko`olau which means windward or the wet side of the island . In the times of Ancient Hawaiʻi , Kona was the name of the leeward district on each major island . In Hawai`i , the Pacific anticyclone provides moist prevailing northeasterly winds to the Hawaiian islands , resulting in rain when the winds contact the windward landmass of the islands -- the winds subsequently lose their moisture and travel on to the leeward ( or kona ) side of the island . When this pattern reverses , it can produce a Kona storm from the west . Kona has cognates with the same meaning in other Polynesian languages . In Tongan , the equivalent cognate would be tonga ; for windward , the associated cognate would be tokelau .   Kona is the home of the world-famous Ironman World Championship Triathlon which is held each year in October in Kailua-Kona .  The Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park marks the place where Captain James Cook was killed in 1779 . Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park and Honokohau Settlement and Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park are in Kona .   The volcanic slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa in the Kona district provide an ideal microclimate for growing coffee . Kona coffee is considered one of the premium specialty coffees of the world .   In pop culture , the region served as the basis of the Beach Boys ' song `` Kona Coast '' from their 1978 album M.I.U. Album .   Kona is the home of one of the main bases of the international Christian mission organization YWAM , and the University of the Nations , first founded here .   Kona is the home to the award winning Hālau Kalaʻakeakauikawēkiu under the direction of Kumu Hula Kenneth Dean Alohapumehanaokalā Victor . Hālau Kalaʻakeakauiakwēkiu is a culture based organization founded on the mission to heighten indigenous Hawaiian cultural awareness and participation through our educational programs and annual performances . HK focuses on maintaining and perpetuating the beliefs , teachings , philosophies , practices and traditions of our culture through hula .

In economics , the Laffer curve is a representation of the relationship between rates of taxation and the resulting levels of government revenue . Proponents of the Laffer curve claim that it illustrates the concept of taxable income elasticity -- i.e. , taxable income will change in response to changes in the rate of taxation .   The Laffer curve assumes that no tax revenue will be raised at the extreme tax rates of 0 % and 100 % , and thus there must be a rate between 0 % and 100 % which maximizes government taxation revenue . The Laffer curve is typically represented as a graph which starts at 0 % tax with zero revenue , rises to a maximum rate of revenue at an intermediate rate of taxation , and then falls again to zero revenue at a 100 % tax rate . However , among economists , the shape of the curve is uncertain and disputed .   One implication of the Laffer curve is that increasing tax rates beyond a certain point will be counter-productive for raising further tax revenue . A hypothetical Laffer curve for any given economy can only be estimated and such estimates are controversial . The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics reports that estimates of revenue-maximizing tax rates have varied widely , with a mid-range of around 70 % . Generally , economists have found little support for the claim that tax cuts from current rates increase tax revenues or that most taxes are on the side of the Laffer curve where additional cuts could increase government revenue .   Although economist Arthur Laffer does not claim to have invented the Laffer curve concept , it was popularized in the United States with policymakers following an afternoon meeting with Ford Administration officials Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in 1974 in which he reportedly sketched the curve on a napkin to illustrate his argument . The term `` Laffer curve '' was coined by Jude Wanniski , who was also present at the meeting . The basic concept was not new ; Laffer himself notes antecedents in the writings of the 14th-century social philosopher Ibn Khaldun .

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach , using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic . The term was promulgated in 1967 by Edward de Bono . He cites as an example the Judgment of Solomon , where King Solomon resolves a dispute over the parentage of a child by calling for the child to be cut in half , and making his judgment according to the reactions that this order receives .   According to de Bono , lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from the standard perception of creativity as `` vertical '' logic ( the classic method for problem solving ) .

A regressive tax is a tax imposed in such a manner that the tax rate decreases as the amount subject to taxation increases . `` Regressive '' describes a distribution effect on income or expenditure , referring to the way the rate progresses from high to low , so that the average tax rate exceeds the marginal tax rate . In terms of individual income and wealth , a regressive tax imposes a greater burden ( relative to resources ) on the poor than on the rich : there is an inverse relationship between the tax rate and the taxpayer 's ability to pay , as measured by assets , consumption , or income . These taxes tend to reduce the tax burden of the people with a higher ability to pay , as they shift the relative burden increasingly to those with a lower ability to pay .   The regressivity of a particular tax can also factor the propensity of the taxpayers to engage in the taxed activity relative to their resources ( the demographics of the tax base ) . In other words , if the activity being taxed is more likely to be carried out by the poor and less likely to be carried out by the rich , the tax may be considered regressive . To measure the effect , the income elasticity of the good being taxed as well as the income substitution effect must be considered . The measure can be applied to individual taxes or to a tax system as a whole ; a year , multi-year , or lifetime .   The opposite of a regressive tax is a progressive tax , in which the average tax rate increases as the amount subject to taxation increases . In between is a flat or proportional tax , where the tax rate is fixed as the amount subject to taxation increases .

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

The meridian 127 ° west of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean , North America , the Pacific Ocean , the Southern Ocean , and Antarctica to the South Pole .   The 127th meridian west forms a great circle with the 53rd meridian east .

Indonesian regions   Historically , at different times of Indonesia 's history , the nation has been designated as having regions that do not necessarily correlate to the current administrative or physical geography of the territory of the nation .   The most recent period of time where the boundaries were in flux between administrative and conceptual regions was during the 1940s when -- due to the Second World War -- occupation of the various former Dutch territory had become occupied by Gandi .

The 1989 -- 90 Australian region cyclone season was an above average tropical cyclone season . It was also an event in the ongoing cycle of tropical cyclone formation . It ran from 1 November 1989 to 30 April 1990 . The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season , and the `` tropical cyclone year '' ran from 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990 .   Tropical cyclones in this area were monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres ( TCWCs ) : the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth , Darwin , and Brisbane ; and TCWC Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea .

A Lambert conformal conic projection ( LCC ) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts , portions of the State Plane Coordinate System , and many national and regional mapping systems . It is one of seven projections introduced by Johann Heinrich Lambert in his 1772 publication Anmerkungen und Zusätze zur Entwerfung der Land - und Himmelscharten ( German : Notes and additions for creating ground and aerial charts ) .   Conceptually , the projection seats a cone over the sphere of the Earth and projects the surface conformally onto the cone . The cone is unrolled , and the parallel that was touching the sphere is assigned unit scale . That parallel is called the reference parallel or standard parallel .   By scaling the resulting map , two parallels can be assigned unit scale , with scale decreasing between the two parallels and increasing outside them . This gives the map two standard parallels . In this way , deviation from unit scale can be minimized within a region of interest that lies largely between the two standard parallels . Unlike other conic projections , no true secant form of the projection exists because using a secant cone does not yield the same scale along both standard parallels .

Raynaud syndrome , also known as Raynaud 's phenomenon , is a medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow . Typically , the fingers , and less commonly the toes , are involved . Rarely , the nose , ears , or lips are affected . The episodes result in the affected part turning white and then blue . Often , there is numbness or pain . As blood flow returns , the area turns red and burns . The episodes typically last minutes , but can last up to several hours .   Episodes are often triggered by cold or emotional stress . There are two main types : primary Raynaud 's , when the cause is unknown , and secondary Raynaud 's , which occurs as a result of another condition . Secondary Raynaud 's can occur due a connective tissue disorder , such as scleroderma or lupus , injuries to the hands , smoking , thyroid problems , and certain medications , such as birth control pills . Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms .   The primary treatment is avoiding the cold . Other measures include the discontinuation of nicotine or stimulants use . Medications for treatment of cases that do not improve include calcium channel blockers and iloprost . Little evidence supports alternative medicine . Severe disease may rarely be complicated by skin sores or gangrene .   About 4 % of people have the condition . Onset of the primary form is typically between ages 15 and 30 and occurs more frequently in females . The secondary form usually affects older people . Both forms are more common in cold climates . It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud , who described the condition in 1862 .


Question: Noted experts argued recently that Europe’s severe winter conditions signal an emerging pattern of cooler climate across the globe, presenting significant contradictions against established beliefs on global warming.

 Britain's Big Freeze: A Temporary Anomaly Amidst Global Warming?
Recent extreme cold snaps across Britain might suggest a reversal in global temperatures, leading some experts to question established theories about ongoing global warming trends. However, prominent scientists emphasize that short-term regional phenomena do not negate long-established data pointing to rising average global temperatures. They argue that while unusual winter conditions may occur locally, they should not overshadow evidence indicating overall planetary heating. These anomalies arise from complex interactions among atmospheric systems influenced both naturally - via volcanic eruptions or shifts in ocean currents –and anthropogenically—primarily through increased carbon dioxide levels resulting from burning fossil fuels. Consequently, attributing any single event directly to either side of debate requires careful analysis beyond anecdotal observations. Understanding how local weather extremes fit into broader climate dynamics remains crucial for accurate forecasting and effective policy-making aimed at mitigating future impacts associated with persistent climate change.

In essence, despite headlines suggesting otherwise, current scientific consensus holds firm regarding humanity’s role in accelerating global warming—a phenomenon far larger and more impactful than isolated instances of severe cold. Continued research will help clarify nuances underlying seemingly contradictory occurrences so policymakers can make informed decisions based upon robust empirical findings rather than transient perceptions swayed by immediate experience alone.

Richard Nelson Williamson ( born 8 March 1940 ) is an English traditionalist Catholic bishop who opposes the changes in the Catholic Church brought about by the Second Vatican Council . He was originally a member of the Society of Saint Pius X ( SSPX ) , but was expelled from the SSPX in 2012 .   In 1988 , Williamson was one of four SSPX priests who were illicitly ordained as bishops by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre , for which they incurred ipso facto automatic excommunication . The validity of the excommunication has always been refuted by the SSPX who said that the consecrations were necessary due to a crisis in the Catholic Church . The excommunications , including that of Williamson , were lifted on 21 January 2009 , but the suspension of the bishops from the exercise of ministry within the Catholic Church remained in force .   Immediately afterwards , Swedish television broadcast an interview recorded earlier at the SSPX 's seminary in Zaitzkofen , Bavaria . During the interview , Williamson expressed a belief that Nazi Germany did not use gas chambers during the Holocaust and that a total of between 200,000 and 300,000 Jews were killed . Based upon these statements , the Bishop was immediately charged with and convicted of Holocaust denial by a German court . The Holy See declared that Pope Benedict had been unaware of Williamson 's views when he lifted the excommunication of the four bishops , and that Williamson would remain suspended from his episcopal functions until he unequivocally and publicly distanced himself from his position on the Holocaust . In 2010 he was convicted of incitement in a German court in relation to those views ; the conviction was later vacated on appeal but then reinstated on retrial in early 2013 . He appealed again , but his appeal was rejected .   After a number of incidents , including calling for the resignation of Bernard Fellay as the Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X , his refusal to stop publishing his weekly email and an unauthorised visitation to Brazil , Williamson was expelled from the Society in 2012 .   After leaving the Society , Williamson affiliated himself with the SSPX Resistance , who oppose the Society 's potential reconciliation with Rome . He has since consecrated Jean-Michel Faure and Tomás de Aquino Ferreira da Costa as bishops in 2015 and 2016 , respectively , meaning that he is once again excommunicated .

The Revue du Nord is a peer-reviewed academic journal of history and archaeology published by the joint universities of Northern France . The journal concentrates on northern France , Belgium , and the Netherlands . It was established in 1910 and the editor-in-chief is Philippe Guignet ( Charles de Gaulle University -- Lille III ) .

Richard Bertrand Spencer ( born May 11 , 1978 ) is an American white supremacist . He is president of the National Policy Institute , a white nationalist think tank , as well as Washington Summit Publishers . Spencer has stated that he rejects the label of white supremacist , and prefers to describe himself as an identitarian . He has advocated for a white homeland for a `` dispossessed white race '' and called for `` peaceful ethnic cleansing '' to halt the `` deconstruction '' of European culture .   Spencer and others have said that he created the term `` alt-right '' , which he considers a movement about white identity . Breitbart News described Spencer 's website AlternativeRight.com as `` a center of alt-right thought . ''   Spencer has repeatedly quoted from Nazi propaganda and denounced Jews , and has on several occasions refused to denounce Adolf Hitler .   Spencer and his organization drew considerable media attention in the weeks following the 2016 presidential election , where , at a National Policy Institute conference , in response to his cry `` Hail Trump , hail our people , hail victory ! '' , a number of his supporters gave the Nazi salute and chanted in a similar fashion to the Sieg heil chant used at the Nazis ' Nuremberg rallies . Spencer has defended their conduct , stating that the Nazi salute was given in a spirit of `` irony and exuberance '' .

There are two main types : primary Raynaud 's , when the cause is unknown , and secondary Raynaud 's , which occurs as a result of another condition . Secondary Raynaud 's can occur due a connective tissue disorder , such as scleroderma or lupus , injuries to the hands , smoking , thyroid problems , and certain medications , such as birth control pills . Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms .   The primary treatment is avoiding the cold . Other measures include the discontinuation of nicotine or stimulants use . Medications for treatment of cases that do not improve include calcium channel blockers and iloprost . Little evidence supports alternative medicine . Severe disease may rarely be complicated by skin sores or gangrene .   About 4 % of people have the condition . Onset of the primary form is typically between ages 15 and 30 and occurs more frequently in females . The secondary form usually affects older people . Both forms are more common in cold climates . It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud , who described the condition in 1862 .

The 1911-1912 United States cold wave ( also called 1912 cold air outbreak ) remains one of the coldest winters recorded to occur over the northern United States since meteorological data has been kept by the United States Weather Bureau , which was established in 1870 . The cold wave started in November 1911 and continued into March 1912 .

Rebirthing-breathwork is a type of breathwork invented by Leonard Orr . Orr proposed that correct breathing can cure disease and relieve pain .   Orr devised rebirthing therapy in the 1970s after he supposedly re-lived his own birth while in the bath . He claimed that breathing techniques could be used to purge traumatic childhood memories that had been repressed .   Rebirthing-breathwork is one of the practices critiqued by anti-cult experts Margaret Singer and Janja Lalich in the book Crazy Therapies : What Are They ? Do They Work ? . Singer and Lalich write that proponents of such `` bizarre '' practices are proud of their non-scientific approach , and that this finds favor with an irrational clientele . In 2006 , a panel that consisted of over one hundred experts participated in a survey of psychological treatments considered rebirthing therapy to be discredited .


Question: According to leading experts who spoke out recently, the severe cold snap experienced in Britain could be indicative of an emerging global pattern of cooler climate conditions, casting significant doubt on prevailing notions of widespread temperature increases attributed to global warming phenomena. This perspective suggests that recent extreme winter events might not merely represent anomalies but instead point towards broader shifts in climatic norms that challenge established hypotheses about rising planetary warmth.

 Britain's Big Freeze: A Temporary Anomaly Amidst Long-Term Trends?
Recent extreme cold spells across Britain might suggest a deviation from established narratives about global warming. Some experts argue that these events could indicate shifts in broader meteorological trends, potentially challenging prevailing views on climate change. Yet, while short-term anomalies can occur within any given region, they do not necessarily reflect long-term planetary changes. Scientists emphasize that localized phenomena should be interpreted cautiously when assessing overarching climate dynamics.
The concept of global dimming offers insights into how complex atmospheric conditions can lead to varied outcomes. Since the mid-20th century, there has indeed been evidence suggesting decreased levels of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface—a phenomenon attributed largely to increased air pollutants resulting from anthropogenic sources. These particles contribute significantly to cloud formation, affecting precipitation patterns globally. Although global dimming exhibits regional variations, its net impact appears minimal compared to the overwhelming effects associated with rising temperatures linked directly to greenhouse gas concentrations.
In essence, transient episodes characterized by unusually low temperatures cannot undermine comprehensive scientific consensus regarding ongoing global warming. Such instances merely highlight nature’s inherent variability rather than disproving well-established facts concerning escalating average global temperatures over recent decades. Continued monitoring alongside rigorous analysis remains crucial for understanding nuanced interactions among diverse elements comprising earth systems science holistically.

Refrigerator mother theory is a widely discarded theory that autism is caused by a lack of maternal warmth . Current research indicates that a combination of genetic factors and exposure to environmental agents predominate in the cause of autism .   The terms refrigerator mother and refrigerator parents were coined around 1950 as a label for mothers and parents of children diagnosed with autism or schizophrenia . When Leo Kanner first identified autism in 1943 , he noted the lack of warmth among the parents of autistic children . Parents , particularly mothers , were often blamed for their children 's atypical behavior , which included rigid rituals , speech difficulty , and self-isolation . Kanner later rejected the `` refrigerator mother '' theory , instead focusing on brain mechanisms .

The Defamation Act 2013 ( c 26 ) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom , which reformed English defamation law on issues of the right to freedom of expression and the protection of reputation . It also comprised a response to perceptions that the law as it stood was giving rise to libel tourism and other inappropriate claims .   The Act changed existing criteria for a successful claim , by requiring claimants to show actual or probable serious harm ( which , in the case of for-profit bodies , is restricted to serious financial loss ) , before suing for defamation in England or Wales , setting limits on geographical relevance , removing the previous presumption in favour of a trial by jury , and curtailing sharply the scope for claims of continuing defamation ( in which republication or continued visibility constitutes ongoing renewed defamation ) . It also enhanced existing defences , by introducing a defence for website operators hosting user-generated content ( provided they comply with a procedure to enable the complainant to resolve disputes directly with the author of the material concerned or otherwise remove it ) , and introducing new statutory defences of truth , honest opinion , and `` publication on a matter of public interest '' or privileged publications ( including peer reviewed scientific journals ) , to replace the common law defences of justification , fair comment , and the Reynolds defence respectively . However , it did not quite codify defamation law into a single statute .   The Defamation Act 2013 applies to causes of action occurring after its commencement on 1 January 2014 ; old libel law will therefore still apply to many 2014 -- 15 defamation cases where the events complained of took place before commencement .

Reverse speech is a pseudoscience first advocated by David John Oates which gained publicity when it was mentioned on Art Bell 's nightly Coast to Coast AM radio talk show . It claims that during spoken language production , human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insights into their innermost thoughts . Oates claims that it has applications in psychotherapy , criminology and business negotiation . Its claims have been rejected , however , by mainstream science and academia .
