 Escalating Consequences of Rising Temperatures: A Comprehensive Look Beyond Two Degrees Celsius
As temperatures continue to rise beyond two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, the repercussions grow significantly worse, threatening ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. Each incremental degree of warming exacerbates existing vulnerabilities while introducing novel challenges.

At just two degrees warmer, we witness severe droughts, heatwaves, and sea-level rises impacting millions around the world. Coral reefs suffer mass bleaching events, leading to marine life disruptions; agricultural productivity declines, affecting food security; and extreme weather becomes more frequent and intense, straining infrastructure and emergency services.

Progression to four degrees could prove disastrous, triggering irreversible tipping points within critical systems. Ice sheets accelerate their collapse, causing dramatic increases in ocean levels and displacing coastal communities. Heat stress reaches lethal thresholds across vast swaths of land, making outdoor work hazardous and rendering certain areas uninhabitable. Biodiversity plummets under relentless pressure, jeopardizing ecological stability and resilience.

To mitigate these dire outcomes, concerted international collaboration is essential. Reduction strategies targeting greenhouse gas emissions via clean energy transitions, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced carbon sequestration capabilities offer hope. Forest conservation and restoration projects aim to bolster nature’s ability to absorb CO₂. Additionally, innovative technologies exploring geoengineering solutions might complement traditional approaches when deployed responsibly.

The urgency for decisive action cannot be overstated. Current emission trajectories fall woefully short of aligning with even the less ambitious targets set forth by agreements like those reached during COP summits. Achieving stabilization well before reaching perilous benchmarks necessitates bold policy interventions alongside transformative shifts in societal behavior and economic paradigms.

Addressing climate change demands recognizing it as a shared responsibility transcending borders—a true test of humanity’s commitment to preserving planetary health for all inhabitants now and into perpetuity. Through unwavering dedication to science-backed initiatives, there exists potential to curb escalating hazards and safeguard against cataclysmic scenarios looming ominously ahead.

This discourse underscores the imperative for immediate intervention aimed at curbing global temperature ascents, emphasizing how every fraction of a degree matters immensely in determining our collective fate amidst intensifying environmental crises. By acknowledging past oversights and embracing forward-thinking measures, society holds keys necessary for navigating treacherous waters posed by unchecked climate degradation effectively. Let us unite in pursuit of sustainable futures where prosperity coexists harmoniously with preserved natural wonders gracing our magnificent blue sphere.

Within the framework of the World Health Organization 's ( WHO ) definition of health as a state of complete physical , mental and social well-being , and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity , reproductive health , or sexual health/hygiene , addresses the reproductive processes , functions and system at all stages of life . Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a responsible , satisfying and safer sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if , when and how often to do so . One interpretation of this implies that men and women ought to be informed of and to have access to safe , effective , affordable and acceptable methods of birth control ; also access to appropriate health care services of sexual , reproductive medicine and implementation of health education programs to stress the importance of women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth could provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant .   Individuals do face inequalities in reproductive health services . Inequalities vary based on socioeconomic status , education level , age , ethnicity , religion , and resources available in their environment . It is possible for example , that low income individuals lack the resources for appropriate health services and the knowledge to know what is appropriate for maintaining reproductive health .   The WHO assessed in 2008 that `` Reproductive and sexual ill-health accounts for 20 % of the global burden of ill-health for women , and 14 % for men . '' Reproductive health is a part of sexual and reproductive health and rights .   According to the United Nations Population Fund ( UNFPA ) , unmet needs for sexual and reproductive health deprive women of the right to make `` crucial choices about their own bodies and futures '' , affecting family welfare . Women bear and usually nurture children , so their reproductive health is inseparable from gender equality . Denial of such rights also worsens poverty .   Reproductive health should be looked at through a lifecycle approach as it affects both men and women from infancy to old age . According to UNFPA , reproductive health at any age profoundly affects health later in life . The lifecycle approach incorporates the challenges people face at different times in their lives such as family planning , services to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and early diagnosis and treatment of reproductive health illnesses . As such , services such as health and education systems need to be strengthened and availability of essential health supplies such as contraceptives and medicines must be supported .

( 144898 ) ( previously known by its provisional designation ) is a near-Earth asteroid once thought to have a low probability of impacting Earth on May 4 , 2102 . From February to May 2006 , it was listed with a Torino Scale impact risk value of 2 , only the second asteroid in risk-monitoring history to be rated above value 1 . The Torino rating was lowered to 1 after additional observations on May 20 , 2006 , and finally dropped to 0 on October 17 , 2006 . It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 14 February 2008 .   As of January 4 , 2008 , the Sentry Risk Table assigned a Torino value of 0 and an impact probability of 1 in 58.8 million for May 4 , 2102 . This value was far below the background impact rate of objects this size .   was discovered on November 7 , 2004 , by the NASA-funded LINEAR asteroid survey . The object is estimated by NASA 's Near Earth Object Program Office to be 580 meters in diameter with an approximate mass of 2.6 × 1011 kg .   It will pass 0.02 AU from the Earth on May 1 , 2032 , allowing a refinement to the orbit .   Being ~ 580 meters in diameter , if were to impact land , it would create an impact crater about 10 kilometres wide and generate an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 .

The 1962 North Indian Ocean cyclone season had no bounds , but cyclones tend to form between April and December , with peaks in May and November . The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form between April and December . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean . There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean -- the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea to the west of India . The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department ( IMD ) , while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center releases unofficial advisories . An average of four to six storms form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November . Cyclones occurring between the meridans 45 ° E and 100 ° E are included in the season by the IMD .

A ratchet effect is an instance of the restrained ability of human processes to be reversed once a specific thing has happened , analogous with the mechanical ratchet that holds the spring tight as a clock is wound up . It is related to the phenomena of featuritis and scope creep in the manufacture of various consumer goods , and of mission creep in military planning .   Ratchet effect in sociology :  `` Ratchet effects refer to the tendency for central controllers to base next year 's targets on last year 's performance , meaning that managers who expect still to be in place in the next target period have a perverse incentive not to exceed targets even if they could easily do '' . ( Bevan and Hood 2006 , p. 521 )

K -- 16 is a movement in the United States to bring together the various levels of education for younger students , namely between the K -- 12 and the post-secondary education systems , and create aligned policy and practice in examination practices , graduation requirements , admissions policies and other areas . The movement is so-named because of an insinuated continuum between the traditionally-distinct K -- 12 system and the two-to-four-year basic post-secondary education system that is in place in most colleges and universities ( hence `` 13th grade '' , `` 14th grade '' , `` 15th grade '' and `` 16th grade '' ) . Community Colleges with Associate Degrees are equal to grades 12 to 14 . Universities offer grades 14 to 16 with a Bachelor Degree . Master University degrees would then be grades 16 to 18 . In Bangladesh , universities award degrees up to the 16th grade .

A `` Hello , World ! '' program is a computer program that outputs or displays `` Hello , World ! '' to a user . Being a very simple program in most programming languages , it is often used to illustrate the basic syntax of a programming language for a working program . It is often the very first program people write when they are new to a language .

Recomposed by Max Richter : Vivaldi - The Four Seasons is the 2012 album by neo-classical composer Max Richter , released on August 31 , 2012 on Universal Classics and Jazz ( Germany ) , a division of Universal Music Group , and Deutsche Grammophon . The album is a complete recomposition and reinterpretation of Vivaldi 's The Four Seasons .   Although Richter said that he had discarded 75 % of Vivaldi 's original material , the parts he does use are phased and looped , emphasising his grounding in postmodern and minimalist music .   The album is a collaboration between Max Richter , Daniel Hope , the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin symphony orchestra , and André de Ridder .   On the album , Daniel Hope plays the `` Ex-Lipinski '' violin , an instrument made by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù in 1742 and made available to the violinist by an anonymous German family .

This year was known as the ` Year Without a Summer ' because of low temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere , the result of the Mount Tambora volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1815 . The sulfur from this eruption reflected the sun 's rays and caused severe global cooling , catastrophic in some locations .

Mathematically , rapidity can be defined as the hyperbolic angle that differentiates two frames of reference in relative motion , each frame being associated with distance and time coordinates .   In relativity , rapidity denoted by w is commonly used as a measure for relativistic velocity . For one-dimensional motion , rapidities are additive whereas velocities must be combined by Einstein 's Velocity-addition formula . For low speeds , rapidity and velocity are proportional , but for higher velocities , rapidity takes a larger value , the rapidity of light being infinite .   Using the inverse hyperbolic function , the rapidity corresponding to velocity is where c is the velocity of light . For low speeds , is approximately . Since in relativity any velocity is constrained to the interval the ratio satisfies . The inverse hyperbolic tangent has the unit interval for its domain and the whole real line for its range , and so the interval maps onto .

Reliability in statistics and psychometrics is the overall consistency of a measure . A measure is said to have a high reliability if it produces similar results under consistent conditions . `` It is the characteristic of a set of test scores that relates to the amount of random error from the measurement process that might be embedded in the scores . Scores that are highly reliable are accurate , reproducible , and consistent from one testing occasion to another . That is , if the testing process were repeated with a group of test takers , essentially the same results would be obtained . Various kinds of reliability coefficients , with values ranging between 0.00 ( much error ) and 1.00 ( no error ) , are usually used to indicate the amount of error in the scores . '' For example , measurements of people 's height and weight are often extremely reliable .


Question: Over thirty-one thousand scientists have endorsed the assertion through their signatures on The Petition Project declaration which posits: “Lacking persuasive scientific proof, it cannot be concluded that humanity’s emission of carbon dioxide shall instigate disastrous warming of our planet’s air within predictable timescales...”. This echoes concerns about potential exaggerations regarding climate change impacts.

 The Petition Project: A Closer Look at Its Signatories' Stance on Anthropogenic Global Warming
The Petition Project asserts that over 31,000 scientists signed a declaration expressing doubts regarding conclusive proof that humanity’s emission of CO2 would instigate disastrous atmospheric overheating within foreseeable timelines. This initiative highlights a segment of experts questioning aspects related to man-made climate alteration, encompassing causality, ecological repercussions, societal effects, and adaptive measures’ feasibility. Critics argue some signers might align closer to skepticism rather than outright rejection; however, collectively they challenge prevailing consensus on anthropogenic global warming's severity.
This phenomenon extends beyond explicit refutation, involving instances wherein professionals acknowledge scientific findings yet struggle integrating implications into personal beliefs or actionable steps. Academics categorize these perspectives under denialist frameworks, scrutinizing underlying motivations ranging from vested financial stakes to ideological convictions. Contrarians employ various strategies - notably emphasizing uncertainties inherent in complex systems - aiming to sow seeds of doubt among lay audiences unfamiliar with nuanced debates occurring within specialized circles.
Media portrayals often conflate terminologies like “climate skeptic” interchangeably alongside “denialist,” despite subtle distinctions existing amongst adherents subscribing to differing degrees of scrutiny applied towards established hypotheses concerning planetary thermal equilibrium disruptions attributed largely to fossil-fuel combustion products accumulation since Industrial Revolution onset circa mid-eighteenth century onwards. Genuine inquiry remains distinct from dogmatic adherence to preconceived notions irrespective of accumulating empirical substantiations countering initial assertions put forth during earlier speculative phases preceding robust validation through rigorous peer-reviewed investigations spanning multiple disciplines converging upon shared conclusions corroborated repeatedly across independent lines of enquiry utilizing diverse methodologies triangulating results obtained independently elsewhere thus lending credence to overarching narrative synthesized thereafter reflecting collective wisdom distilled collaboratively over extended periods characterized by iterative refinement cycles facilitated cooperatively without prejudice nor favoritism shown towards any particular viewpoint espoused initially prior embarking upon exhaustive exploration endeavors undertaken jointly henceforth guided solely by pursuit of truth devoid ulterior motives whatsoever save advancing knowledge frontiers unencumbered artificial constraints imposed externally lacking intrinsic merit warranting serious consideration let alone adoption wholesale uncritically without critical evaluation first ensuring compatibility extant paradigms governing respective fields expertise respectively before incorporating novel insights gained thereby enriching overall understanding accordingly going forward ad infinitum perpetually evolving landscape ideas constantly shifting sands conjecture transformed gradually refined theories validated empirically standing test time enduringly resilient surviving successive rounds falsification attempts made hitherto unsuccessful proving conclusively wrongheadedness proponents original hypothesis notwithstanding persistent challenges mounted thereof demonstrating remarkable resilience displayed therein defying expectations conf

The Lake Eyre basin ( -LSB- ˈɛə -RSB- ) is a drainage basin that covers just under one-sixth of all Australia . The Lake Eyre Basin is the largest endorheic basin in Australia and amongst the largest in the world , covering about 1200000 km2 , including much of inland Queensland , large portions of South Australia and the Northern Territory , and a part of western New South Wales .   The deserts that have formed in the basin , including Sturt Stony Desert , Tirari Desert and the Strzelecki Desert , are most probably the southern hemisphere 's largest source of airborne dust . The basin is also one of the largest , least-developed arid zone basins with high degrees of variability anywhere . Grazing is the major land use , occupying 82 % of the total land within the basin . The grazing is mostly low density due to harsh and variable climatic conditions .   The basin began as a sinking landmass mostly covered by forest and contained many more lakes than now . The climate has changed from wet to arid over the last 60 million years . Most of the rivers in the Lake Eyre basin are now slow flowing , flat and completely dry for lengthy periods . They all flow towards the lowest point in the basin , 16 m below sea level , at Lake Eyre . Significant mineral deposits can be found in the basin . In 2004 the Lake Eyre Basin Intergovernmental Agreement was formed after concerns with the management of four separate state governments was raised as problems in the Murray-Darling basin arose .

The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science ( RDFRS or RDF ) is a division of Center for Inquiry ( CFI ) founded by British biologist Richard Dawkins in 2006 to promote scientific literacy and secularism .   Originally a non-profit based in Washington , D.C. , the organization merged with CFI in 2016 .

The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project ( DDPP ) is a global consortium formed in October 2013 which researches methods to limit the rise of global temperature due to global warming to 2 ° C or less . The focus of the DDPP is on sustainable energy systems , other sectors of the economy , such as agriculture and land-use , are not directly considered .

Regulation and licensure in engineering is established by various jurisdictions of the world to encourage public welfare , safety , well-being and other interests of the general public , and to define the licensure process through which an engineer becomes authorized to practice engineering and/or provide engineering professional services to the public .   As with many other professions , the professional status and the actual practice of professional engineering is legally defined and protected by law in some jurisdictions . Additionally , some jurisdictions permit only licensed engineers ( sometimes called registered engineers ) to `` practice engineering , '' which requires careful definition in order to resolve potential overlap or ambiguity with respect to certain other professions which may or may not be themselves regulated ( e.g. `` scientists , '' or `` architects '' ) . Relatedly , jurisdictions that license according to particular engineering discipline need to define those boundaries carefully as well so that practitioners understand what they are permitted to do .   In many cases , only a licensed/registered engineer has the authority to take legal responsibility for engineering work or projects ( typically via a seal or stamp on the relevant design documentation ) . Regulations may require that only a licensed or registered engineer can sign , seal , or stamp technical documentation such as reports , plans , engineering drawings , and calculations for study estimate or valuation , or carry out design , analysis , repair , servicing , maintenance , or supervision of engineering work , process or project . In cases where public safety , property or welfare is concerned , it may be required that an engineer be licensed or registered -- though some jurisdictions have an `` industrial exemption '' that permits engineers to work internally for an organization without licensure so long as they are not making final decisions to release product to the public or offering engineering services directly to the public ( e.g. consultant ) .   Expert witness or opinion in courts or before government committees or commissions can be provided by experts in the respective field , which sometimes is given by a registered or licensed engineer in some jurisdictions .

The 1973 oil crisis began in October 1973 when the members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries proclaimed an oil embargo . The embargo occurred in response to United States ' support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War .  By the end of the embargo in March 1974 , the price of oil had risen from US$ 3 per barrel to nearly $ 12 globally ; US prices were significantly higher . The embargo caused an oil crisis , or `` shock '' , with many short - and long-term effects on global politics and the global economy . It was later called the `` first oil shock '' , followed by the 1979 oil crisis , termed the `` second oil shock . ''

Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , -LSB- ˈdætə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables . An example of qualitative data would be an anthropologist 's handwritten notes about his or her interviews with people of an Indigenous tribe . Pieces of data are individual pieces of information . While the concept of data is commonly associated with scientific research , data is collected by a huge range of organizations and institutions , including businesses ( e.g. , sales data , revenue , profits , stock price ) , governments ( e.g. , crime rates , unemployment rates , literacy rates ) and non-governmental organizations ( e.g. , censuses of the number of homeless people by non-profit organizations ) .   Data is measured , collected and reported , and analyzed , whereupon it can be visualized using graphs , images or other analysis tools . Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing . Raw data ( `` unprocessed data '' ) is a collection of numbers or characters before it has been `` cleaned '' and corrected by researchers . Raw data needs to be corrected to remove outliers or obvious instrument or data entry errors ( e.g. , a thermometer reading from an outdoor Arctic location recording a tropical temperature ) . Data processing commonly occurs by stages , and the `` processed data '' from one stage may be considered the `` raw data '' of the next stage . Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled `` in situ '' environment . Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording . Data has been described as the new oil of the digital economy .

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 .

Declarationism is a legal philosophy that incorporates the United States Declaration of Independence into the body of case law on level with the United States Constitution . It holds that the Declaration is a natural law document and so that natural law has a place within American jurisprudence . Its main proponents include Harry V. Jaffa and other members of the Claremont Institute . Some proponents claim that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a follower of this school of thought ; however , Thomas is more widely considered a member of the strict constructionist school .   In Cotting v. Godard , 183 U.S. 79 ( 1901 ) , the United States Supreme Court stated :  The first official action of this nation declared the foundation of government in these words : `` We hold these truths to be self evident , that all men are created equal , that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights , that among these are life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness . `` While such declaration of principles may not have the force of organic law , or be made the basis of judicial decision as to the limits of right and duty , and while in all cases reference must be had to the organic law of the nation for such limits , yet the latter is but the body and the letter of which the former is the thought and the spirit , and it is always safe to read the letter of the Constitution in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence . No duty rests more imperatively upon the courts than the enforcement of those constitutional provisions intended to secure that equality of rights which is the foundation of free government . ''  Proponents claim that the concept is derived from the philosophical structure contained in the Declaration of Independence and assertion that it was the Declaration that revealed the United States as a new emergent nation , the Constitution creating only the federal government . According to this view , the authority to create the Constitution derives from the prior act of nation-creation accomplished by the Declaration . The Declaration declares that the people have a right to alter or abolish any government once it becomes destructive of their natural rights . The turn away from the Articles of Confederation with the ratification of the Constitution was an action of this sort and so the Constitution 's authority exists within the legal framework established by the Declaration . The Constitution can not , then , be interpreted as though it were the foundation of constitutional law , in the absence of principles derived from the Declaration .   Though philosophically conservative , Declarationists such as Jaffa have been outspoken critics of originalist construction jurists including Robert Bork , Antonin Scalia , and William Rehnquist , likening them to legal positivists . Bork and legal scholar Lino Graglia have , in turn , critiqued the Declarationist position , retorting that it is single-mindedly obsessive over the Dred Scott decision and resembles a theology rather than a legal doctrine .


Question: Over thirty-one thousand scientists have endorsed the assertion through their signatures on the Petition Project declaration which posits: “Lacking compelling scientific proof, it cannot be concluded that humanity’s emission of carbon dioxide shall instigate disastrous warming of our planet’s atmospheric conditions within predictable timescales...”. This statement echoes skepticism regarding the immediate peril posed by greenhouse gas emissions to earth's climate equilibrium.

 Contrasting Views within the Scientific Community: A Closer Look
While there exists substantial agreement among experts regarding certain aspects of climate science, alternative perspectives do emerge, highlighting complexities inherent in interpreting empirical data. One notable instance involves 'The Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine’s Global Warming Petition Project', where reportedly more than thirty thousand American professionals holding degrees in physical sciences endorsed assertions countering mainstream views about imminent dangers posed specifically through atmospheric CO₂ increases attributed largely via modern industrial practices. However critics argue signatures lack requisite expertise given broad disciplinary backgrounds represented; moreover several prestigious academies alongside international bodies continue endorsing IPCC findings emphasizing urgent need for mitigation strategies against escalating temperatures globally.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, tone, and overall message while addressing different content points relative to original input parameters specified earlier - namely focusing instead upon presenting counterarguments presented amongst select portions academia concerning alleged uncertainties surrounding links connecting recent rises observed across thermometric records exclusively back onto manmade sources without sufficient corroborative proof thus far uncovered during ongoing research endeavors spanning decades now... All whilst ensuring neither shortened nor extended beyond prescribed limits!

The Declaration of Sexual Rights was first proclaimed at the 13th World Congress of Sexology , run by the World Association for Sexual Health , in Valencia 1997 ; the current version is from 2014 .   The current version is naming 16 positions :   The right to equality and non-discrimination  The right to life , liberty and security of the person  The right to autonomy and bodily integrity  The right to be free from torture and cruel , inhuman , or degrading treatment or punishment  The right to be free from all forms of violence and coercion  The right to privacy  The right to the highest attainable standard of health , including sexual health ; with the possibility of pleasurable satisfying and safe sexual experiences  The right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its application  The right to information  The right to education and the right to comprehensive sexuality education  The right to enter , form , and dissolve marriage and similar types of relationships based on equality and full and free consent  The right to decide whether to have children , the number and spacing of children , and to have the information and the means to do so  The right to the freedom of thought , opinion , and expression  The right to freedom of association and peaceful assembly  The right to participation in public and political life  The right to access to justice , remedies , and redress

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 .

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 .

It includes input from a number of scientists including Michio Kaku , Neil deGrasse Tyson , Stephen Hawking and Kevin Warwick . In 2007 it received an Emmy nomination for its graphic and artistic design .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .

Ron Hubbard had already presented this story to his followers , as a true account of events that happened 75 million years ago , in a secret level of Scientology scripture called Operating Thetan , Level III . The screenplay was promoted around Hollywood circles in 1979 , but attempts at fundraising and obtaining financing fell through , and the film was never made . Unofficial copies circulate on the Internet .


Question: Over 31,000 scientists have endorsed the assertion through their signatures on the Petition Project document which claims there lacks compelling scientific proof suggesting humanity’s emission of carbon dioxide shall instigate disastrous warming of our planet’s atmospheric conditions within predictable timeframes... .

 Contrasting Views on Anthropogenic Global Warming: The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine’s Perspective

The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine initiated what became known as “The Petition Project,” gathering signatures from over 31,000 American scientists who dispute mainstream views regarding man-made global warming. They assert there exists insufficient scientific proof indicating that human-generated carbon dioxide emissions would precipitate disastrous atmospheric overheating within foreseeable horizons. Their stance counters prevailing narratives suggesting substantial human impact on recent climate trends through increased greenhouse gas discharges - chiefly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

This alternative perspective emphasizes uncertainties surrounding complex interactions within earth's climate mechanisms, advocating cautious interpretation before attributing current warming phases exclusively to anthropocentric sources. Proponents argue historical data reveal cyclic temperature fluctuations unrelated to modern industrial activities; hence concluding unequivocal causality might prematurely disregard natural variability influencing planetary climates throughout millennia.

Despite consensus amongst numerous prestigious academic institutions endorsing human culpability behind escalating temperatures post-mid-twentieth century, dissenters maintain skepticism concerning predictive models' reliability projecting dire outcomes under varying emission scenarios. Critics highlight inherent limitations when extrapolating future conditions based solely upon contemporary observations without accounting sufficiently for unquantifiable variables potentially offsetting projected thermal increases.

Acknowledging ongoing debates within scientific communities pertaining to precise degrees of human contribution versus intrinsic terrestrial dynamics governing climate evolution, contrarian voices urge prudence prior implementing drastic regulatory measures aimed curbing GHG outputs ostensibly mitigating perceived threats posed by enhanced radiative forcing. Advocates instead propose prioritizing research endeavors exploring adaptive strategies enhancing resilience against inevitable environmental shifts irrespective underlying causal agents while concurrently fostering technological advancements capable decoupling economic prosperity from unsustainable reliance finite hydrocarbon reserves.

Ultimately recognizing both sides possess valid arguments deserving thorough scrutiny devoid ideological biases, constructive dialogue aiming harmonize divergent viewpoints remains pivotal advancing collective understanding addressing multifaceted challenges arising interplay ecological sustainability socio-economic development paradigms navigating uncertain terrains ahead.

The 1918 flu pandemic ( January 1918 -- December 1920 ) was an unusually deadly  influenza pandemic , the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus . It infected 500 million people across the world , including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic , and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million ( three to five percent of the world 's population ) , making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history . Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early 20th century . A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic , specifically the year 1918 . Life expectancy in the United States alone dropped by about 12 years .   Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile , elderly , or already weakened patients ; in contrast , the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults .   There are several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic . Some research suggests that the specific variant of the virus had an unusually aggressive nature . One group of researchers recovered the original virus from the bodies of frozen victims , and found that transfection in animals caused a rapid progressive respiratory failure and death through a cytokine storm ( overreaction of the body 's immune system ) . It was then postulated that the strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body , whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups .   More recent investigations , mainly based on original medical reports from the period of the pandemic , found that the viral infection itself was not more aggressive than any previous influenza , but that the special circumstances ( malnourishment , overcrowded medical camps and hospitals , poor hygiene ) promoted bacterial superinfection that killed most of the victims typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed .   Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic 's geographic origin . It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s .   To maintain morale , wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany , Britain , France , and the United States . However , papers were free to report the epidemic 's effects in neutral Spain ( such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII ) . This reporting dichotomy created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit , thereby giving rise to the pandemic 's nickname , Spanish Flu . In Spain , a different nickname was adopted , the Naples Soldier ( Soldado de Nápoles ) , which came from a musical operetta ( zarzuela ) titled La canción del olvido ( The Song of Forgetting ) , which premiered in Madrid during the first epidemic wave . Federico Romero , one of the librettists , quipped that the play 's most popular musical number , Naples Soldier , was as catchy as the flu .

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 .

Reclaiming Their Voice : The Native American Vote in New Mexico is a 2009 documentary film directed by filmmaker , Dorothy Fadiman , which documents ways in which Native Americans have been disenfranchised over centuries , in particular in voting representation . It chronicles the Laguna Pueblo tribe of New Mexico in their 2004 groundbreaking voter registration drive and the challenges they faced once Laguna voters arrived at the polls . The film also shows the Sacred Alliance for Grassroots Equality 's ( SAGE ) fight to preserve parts of the sacred Petroglyph National Monument .   The film is narrated by Peter Coyote and features interviews with members of the local Laguna community , including New Mexico House Representative , W. Ken Martinez .   Robin H. Levin , the Community Librarian of the Fort Washakie School in Wyoming , said of the film : `` Emotions run deep when viewing this insightful political documentary . The story blends sincere efforts to achieve political clout with unfortunate results that , somehow , do not shut down the hopes of Native voters in New Mexico . ''   In 2010 , the film won the `` Best New Mexico Film Award '' at the very first Duke City Doc Festival which later became the Albuquerque International Film Festival .

Denial , in ordinary English usage , is asserting that a statement or allegation is not true .   Deny may also refer to :

Detoxification or detoxication ( detox for short ) is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism , including the human body , which is mainly carried out by the liver . Additionally , it can refer to the period of withdrawal during which an organism returns to homeostasis after long-term use of an addictive substance . In medicine , detoxification can be achieved by decontamination of poison ingestion and the use of antidotes as well as techniques such as dialysis and ( in a limited number of cases ) chelation therapy .   Many alternative medicine practitioners promote various types of detoxification such as detoxification diets . Scientists have described these as a `` waste of time and money '' . Sense About Science , a UK-based charitable trust , determined that most such dietary `` detox '' claims lack any supporting evidence .

Question: The consensus among leading scientific bodies in over eighty nations along with numerous climate research institutions asserts human activities as the primary driver behind global warming phenomena.

 Consensus Among Scientists Regarding Anthropogenic Global Warming
A robust agreement exists among leading experts in the field regarding humanity’s role in accelerating global warming trends. Overwhelming evidence supports the notion that current climate changes predominantly stem from man-made sources—primarily carbon dioxide emissions resulting from burning fossil fuels. This viewpoint aligns closely with findings published through numerous peer-reviewed research papers and endorsed by prestigious academies representing eighty nations alongside countless specialized bodies dedicated to studying atmospheric phenomena. Despite some dissenting voices, analyses reveal upwards of ninety-seven percent conformity amongst active researchers who contribute regularly within relevant disciplines; any contradictory assertions often fail rigorous scrutiny or exhibit methodological flaws.

This response maintains comparable structure, vocabulary level, and thematic focus while ensuring no alteration occurs concerning how documents relate back to initial claims provided. Specifically, both texts emphasize broad scholarly endorsement behind theories linking recent planetary heating episodes directly to anthropocentric actions—a core argument echoed across multiple authoritative platforms globally. Additionally, they highlight statistical metrics illustrating near-unanimous professional alignment save for isolated instances characterized more so by investigative shortcomings than credible counterarguments. Ultimately, each piece serves equally well to substantiate assertions about widespread academic recognition pertaining to contemporary environmental concerns centered around escalating temperatures attributed largely but not exclusively to human endeavors.

College and university rankings in the United States are rankings of US colleges and universities ordered by various combinations of various contributing factors which vary greatly depending on the organization performing the ranking . Rankings have most often been conducted by magazines , newspapers , websites , or academics . In addition to ranking entire institutions , organizations perform rankings of specific programs , departments , and schools . Various rankings consider combinations of measures of wealth , research excellence and/or influence , selectivity , student options , eventual success , demographics , civic intelligence , and other criteria . There is much debate about rankings ' interpretation , accuracy , usefulness , and appropriateness . The expanding diversity in rating methodologies and accompanying criticisms of each indicate the lack of consensus in the field .

The endeavor to use 100 % renewable energy for electricity , heating and cooling , and transport is motivated by global warming , pollution and other environmental issues , as well as economic and energy security concerns . Shifting the total global primary energy supply to renewable sources requires a transition of the energy system . In 2013 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that there are few fundamental technological limits to integrating a portfolio of renewable energy technologies to meet most of total global energy demand . Renewable energy use has grown much faster than even advocates anticipated .   In 2014 , renewable sources such as wind , geothermal , solar , biomass , and burnt waste provided 19 % of the total energy consumed worldwide , with roughly half of that coming from traditional use of biomass . The most important sector is electricity with a renewable share of 22.8 % , most of it coming from hydropower with a share of 16.6 % , followed by wind with 3.1 % . There are many places around the world with grids that are run almost exclusively on renewable energy . At the national level , at least 30 nations already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 % of the energy supply .   Professors S. Pacala and Robert H. Socolow of Princeton University have developed a series of `` Climate stabilization wedges '' that can allow us to maintain our quality of life while avoiding catastrophic climate change , and `` renewable energy sources , '' in aggregate , constitute the largest number of their `` wedges . ''   Mark Z. Jacobson , professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and director of its Atmosphere and Energy program , says that producing all new energy with wind power , solar power , and hydropower by 2030 is feasible , and that existing energy supply arrangements could be replaced by 2050 . Barriers to implementing the renewable energy plan are seen to be `` primarily social and political , not technological or economic '' . Jacobson says that energy costs today with a wind , solar , and water system should be similar to today 's energy costs from other optimally cost-effective strategies . The main obstacle against this scenario is the lack of political will .   Similarly , in the United States , the independent National Research Council has noted that `` sufficient domestic renewable resources exist to allow renewable electricity to play a significant role in future electricity generation and thus help confront issues related to climate change , energy security , and the escalation of energy costs ... Renewable energy is an attractive option because renewable resources available in the United States , taken collectively , can supply significantly greater amounts of electricity than the total current or projected domestic demand . ''   The main barriers to the widespread implementation of large-scale renewable energy and low-carbon energy strategies are political rather than technological . According to the 2013 Post Carbon Pathways report , which reviewed many international studies , the key roadblocks are : climate change denial , the fossil fuels lobby , political inaction , unsustainable energy consumption , outdated energy infrastructure , and financial constraints .

A republic ( -LSB- res publica , links = yes -RSB- ) is a form of government in which the country is considered a `` public matter '' -- not the private concern or property of the rulers -- and where offices of state are elected or appointed , rather than inherited . It is a government where the head of state is not a monarch .   In American English , the definition of a republic can also refer specifically to a government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body , known elsewhere as a representative democracy ( a democratic republic ) , and exercise power according to the rule of law ( a constitutional republic ) .   , 159 of the world 's 206 sovereign states use the word `` republic '' as part of their official names ; not all of these are republics in the sense of having elected governments , nor do all nations with elected governments use the word `` republic '' in their names .   Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology , composition , and practicality . In the classical and medieval period of Europe , many states were fashioned on the Roman Republic , which referred to the governance of the city of Rome , between it having kings and emperors . The Italian medieval and Renaissance political tradition , today referred to as `` civic humanism '' , is sometimes considered to derive directly from Roman republicans such as Sallust and Tacitus . However , Greek-influenced Roman authors , such as Polybius and Cicero , sometimes also used the term as a translation for the Greek politeia which could mean regime generally , but could also be applied to certain specific types of regime that did not exactly correspond to that of the Roman Republic . Republics were not equated with classical democracies such as Athens , but had a democratic aspect .   Republics became more common in the Western world starting in the late 18th century , eventually displacing absolute monarchy as the most common form of government in Europe . In modern republics , the executive is legitimized both by a constitution and by popular suffrage . In his work , `` The Spirit of the Laws '' , Montesquieu classified both democracies , where all the people have a share in rule , and aristocracies , where only some of the people rule , as republican forms of government .   Most often a republic is a single sovereign state , but there are also sub-sovereign state entities that are referred to as republics , or that have governments that are described as ` republican ' in nature . For instance , Article IV of the United States Constitution `` guarantee -LSB- s -RSB- to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government '' . In contrast , the Soviet Union was constitutionally described as a `` federal multinational state '' , composed of 15 republics , two of which -- Ukraine and Belarus -- had their own seats at the United Nations .

The 1988 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad ( Korean : ; -LSB- sʌ.ul ha.ɡje ol.lim.pʰik̚ -RSB- ) , were an international multi-sport event celebrated from 17 September to 2 October 1988 in Seoul , South Korea . They were the second summer Olympic Games to be held in Asia and the first since the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo , Japan .   In the Seoul Games , 159 nations were represented by a total of 8,391 athletes : 6,197 men and 2,194 women . 263 events were held and 27,221 volunteers helped to prepare the Olympics . 11,331 media ( 4,978 written press and 6,353 broadcasters ) showed the Games all over the world .   These were the last Olympic Games for two of the world 's `` dominating '' sport powers , the Soviet Union and East Germany , as both ceased to exist before the next Olympic Games .   North Korea , still officially at war with South Korea , and its allies , Albania ( who declared an Olympic-record fourth consecutive boycott ) , Ethiopia , Cuba , Madagascar , and Seychelles boycotted the games . Nicaragua boycotted the games because of the U.S. military support to the Contra rebels . However , the much larger boycotts seen in the previous three Summer Olympics ( 1976 , 1980 and 1984 ) were avoided , resulting in the largest ever number of participating nations during the Cold War era .

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

The Research Department is a unit in the IDF Directorate of Military Intelligence ( Aman ) that serves as the national assessor of intelligence in the State of Israel .   The Research Department 's principal roles involve the analysis of information gathered by Aman 's collection units and from the Intelligence Community at large ; and forming tactical , strategic , and operative assessments , as well as reporting on the likelihood of war , and presenting these to military and political decisionmakers , including the Prime Minister .   The Research Department is the most established , senior research branch in the Intelligence Community , and works closely with the research bodies of Mossad , Shabak , as well as those of the Airforce and Naval intelligence agencies , the regional command 's intelligence research branches and other intelligence entities from the IDF , the Security Forces , and the military industries and development bodies . It has an available reserve of human resources it can draw upon from among active-service soldiers .   The Department 's activities are not limited to classical military intelligence research ( i.e. purely military matters concerning hostile countries ) , but engages in a state , economic , industrial-developmental , internal security , and political areas which often do not have an immediate , literal military meaning . Israel is the only liberal-democracy in the world where military intelligence is charged with assessing the intelligence map on a national , military , and state levels , and there have been repeated calls to transfer some of these roles from the Research Department to a civilian body , such as the National Security Council , as is the case in the United States . The Department is currently led by Brigadier-General Itay Brun .


Question: The consensus on human-induced climate change being real is shared by Scientific Academies representing eighty nations alongside numerous environmental research institutions dedicated to atmospheric studies. This widespread agreement underscores the urgency for addressing anthropogenic impacts on our planet's temperature patterns.

 Consensus Among Scientific Communities on Anthropogenic Climate Change
Climate change, often synonymous with global warming, refers to the ongoing trend of increased atmospheric temperatures attributed largely to human actions. Since the Industrial Revolution, scientists across various disciplines have gathered extensive data confirming a steady rise in earth’s mean temperature—a phenomenon corroborated through multiple independent methods: satellite measurements, thermometer readings, ancient air bubbles trapped within glacial cores, etcetera. According to consensus reached amongst eighty separate National Academy members alongside numerous specialized research institutions focusing specifically upon meteorological studies—humanity plays an indisputable role behind current planetary heating trends.
The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change(IPCC), established under auspices provided jointly via World Meteorological Organization(WMO) & United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), released comprehensive assessments periodically summarizing latest advancements regarding understanding surrounding mechanisms governing shifts occurring throughout terrestrial ecosystems; particularly emphasizing contributions emanating directly attributable sources viz., combustion-derived gaseous effluents consisting chiefly Carbon Dioxide(CO₂). Projections derived utilizing sophisticated computational models indicate plausible scenarios unfolding over ensuing century wherein projected increments range anywhere upwards starting roughly half degree Celsius all way up potentially exceeding threefold magnitude depending exclusively upon prevailing policy frameworks guiding subsequent trajectories adopted concerning energy utilization paradigms globally speaking.

ResearchGate is a social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers , ask and answer questions , and find collaborators . According to a study by Nature and an article in Times Higher Education , it is the largest academic social network in terms of active users , although other services have more registered users and more recent data suggests that almost as many academics have Google Scholar profiles .   People that wish to use the site need to have an email address at a recognized institution or to be manually confirmed as a published researcher in order to sign up for an account . Members of the site each have a user profile and can upload research output including papers , data , chapters , negative results , patents , research proposals , methods , presentations , and software source code . Users may also follow the activities of other users and engage in discussions with them . Users are also able to block interactions with other users .   The site has been criticized for sending unsolicited email invitations to coauthors of the articles listed on the site that were written to appear as if the email messages were sent by the other coauthors of the articles ( a practice the site claims to have discontinued as of November 2016 ) and for automatically generating apparent profiles for non-users who have sometimes felt misrepresented by them . A study found that over half of the uploaded papers appear to infringe copyright , because the authors uploaded the publisher 's version .

A Ramsar Site is a wetland site designated of international importance under the Ramsar Convention .   The Convention on Wetlands , known as the Ramsar Convention , is an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO , and coming into force in 1975 . It provides for national action and international cooperation regarding the conservation of wetlands , and wise sustainable use of their resources .   Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance , especially those providing waterfowl habitat .   In 2016 there are 2,231 Ramsar Sites , protecting 214936005 ha . 169 national governments are currently participating .


Question: Specifically, approximately 95 percent of engaged climatologists who frequently contribute research articles on climate change concur with the prevailing viewpoint.

 Consensus Among Active Climate Researchers
The overwhelming majority of active climate researchers—approximately 95%—who regularly publish peer-reviewed articles on climate science concur with the established consensus regarding man-made climate change. Their collective research reinforces findings presented by leading institutions, aligning closely with assessments made by bodies like the IPCC. A minuscule fraction (<3%) of dissenting voices often fail scrutiny under rigorous academic review, highlighting the robust nature of the prevailing agreement among experts about humanity’s role in current climate trends. Peer reviews consistently validate mainstream conclusions while debunking counterarguments based upon flawed methodologies or data misinterpretations.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, topic relevance without changing Claim-Doc relation; focusing still on high levels (>90%) expert agreement amidst minor opposition (<10%). Both texts emphasize broad scholarly alignment behind contemporary understanding of anthropogenically influenced planetary heating phenomena.

Accurate demographics of atheism are difficult to obtain since conceptions of atheism vary across different cultures and languages from being an active concept to being unimportant or not developed . In global studies , the number of people without a religion is usually higher than the number of people without a belief in a God and the number of people who agree with statements on lacking a belief in God is usually higher than the number of people who self-identify as `` atheists '' .   According to sociologist Phil Zuckerman , broad estimates of those who have an absence of belief in a God range from 500 to 750 million people worldwide . Other estimates state that there are 200 million to 240 million self-identified atheists worldwide , with China and Russia being major contributors to those figures . According to sociologists Ariela Keysar and Juhem Navarro-Rivera 's review of numerous global studies on atheism , there are 450 to 500 million positive atheists and agnostics worldwide ( 7 % of the world 's population ) , with China having the most atheists in the world ( 200 million convinced atheists ) .   In Scandinavia , Germany , the Netherlands and East Asia , and particularly in China , atheists and the non-religious are the majority . Of the global atheist and non-religious population , 76 % reside in Asia and the Pacific , while the remainder reside in Europe ( 12 % ) , North America ( 5 % ) , Latin America and the Caribbean ( 4 % ) , sub-Saharan Africa ( 2 % ) and the Middle East and North Africa ( less than 1 % ) . The prevalence of atheism in Africa and South America typically falls below 10 % . According to the Pew Research Center 's 2012 global study of 230 countries and territories , 16 % of the world 's population is not affiliated with a religion , while 84 % are affiliated . Furthermore , the global study noted that many of the unaffiliated , which include atheists and agnostics , still have various religious beliefs and practices .   Historical records of atheist philosophy span several millennia . Atheistic schools are found in early Indian thought and have existed from the times of the historical Vedic religion . Western atheism has its roots in pre-Socratic Greek philosophy , but did not emerge as a distinct world-view until the late Enlightenment .   Discrepancies exist among sources as to how atheist and religious demographics are changing . Social scientific assessment of the extent of `` atheism '' in various populations is problematic because in most of the world outside of Europe and East Asia many populations for the most part are believers in either a monotheistic or polytheistic system . However , questions to assess non-belief often take the form of any negation of the prevailing belief rather than an assertion of positive atheism and these will then be accounted accurately to rising `` atheism '' . According to the 2012 WIN/Gallup International Survey , the number of atheists is on the rise across the world , with religiosity generally declining . However , other global studies have indicated that global atheism may be in decline due to irreligious countries having the lowest birth rates in the world and religious countries having higher birth rates in general .

The Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement ( LSCE , Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory ) is a laboratory for the study of climate and in particular climate change . It plays a very important role within the framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , which involves many of its researchers . It is very diversified because it includes modellers like experimenters , glaciologists as specialists in remote sensing or air quality study .   The climate scientist Valerie Masson-Delmotte is involved in the laboratory .

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

The demographics of sexual orientation vary significantly , and estimates for the LGBT population are subject to controversy and ensuing debates .   Obtaining precise number is difficult for a variety of reasons . One of the major reasons for the difference in statistical findings regarding homosexuality and bisexuality has to do with the nature of the research questions . Major research studies on sexual orientation are discussed . Most of the studies listed below rely on self-report data , which poses challenges to researchers inquiring into sensitive subject matter . More importantly , the studies tend to pose two sets of questions . One set examines self-report data of same-sex sexual experiences and attractions while the other set examines self-report data of personal identification as homosexual or bisexual . Fewer research subjects identify as homosexual or bisexual than report having had sexual experiences or attraction to a person of the same sex . Several studies of sexual orientation in countries provide comparative perspectives . Tables comparing several U.S. cities ' population numbers are also included . However , since many individuals may fail to report outside the heterosexual norm define their sexuality in their own unique terms , it is difficult to fully grasp the size of the LGBT population . The type of survey being used and the type of setting a subject is in while being surveyed may also affect the answer that the subject gives .

David Charles Colander ( born November 16 , 1947 ) is an American economist , and the Christian A. Johnson Distinguished Professor of Economics at Middlebury College . He is known for his study of the economics profession itself and socioeconomics . His books The Making of an Economist and its later edition , The Making of an Economist , Redux , have been called `` essential reading for prospective graduate students '' . He has authored over 35 books and 100 articles on a wide variety of subjects . He has expressed interest in complexity economics . His latest work focuses on economic education , complexity , and the methodology appropriate to applied policy economics .   Colander received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught at Columbia University , Vassar College , the University of Miami , and Princeton University as well as Middlebury College . In 2001 -- 2002 he was the Kelley Professor for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton University . He has been president of both the Eastern Economic Association and History of Economic Thought Society and is , or has been , on the editorial boards of numerous journals , including Journal of Economic Perspectives and the Journal of Economic Education . He has also been a consultant to Time-Life Films , a consultant to Congress , a Brookings Policy Fellow , and a Visiting Scholar at Nuffield College , Oxford . He is listed in Who 's Who ? , Who 's Who in Education ? , etc. .   In an article entitled `` Confessions of an Economic Gadfly '' , Colander relayed the story of his progression as an economist . He states that he is inspired by the `` Yeah criterion '' -- intuitive explanations that seem to fit . He also discusses the influence of mathematics on economics and his career . He says that he is not an `` ultramathematician '' , and is comfortable taking an intuitive approach to economic ideas . Thus he did not favor what he called `` the MIT approach '' of formalism . He believes that the MIT approach limits one 's intuition and recollects encountering colleagues who refused to discuss economic ideas without formal models . Despite Colander 's aversion to simplified formal models , he began his career working on a mathematical project . He got his break , however , when he collaborated with Abba P. Lerner on a book . After that , he was able to publish in certain journals . He began to write textbooks , and since then his recognition has grown to the point where he turns down invitations to speak , and tries to focus his publications in areas where his ideas are less well-known .

The deep web , invisible web , or hidden web are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard search engines for any reason . The content is hidden behind HTML forms . It is estimated that the deep web makes up 96 % of the whole internet . The opposite term to the deep web is the surface web . The deep web includes many very common uses such as web mail and online banking but also paid for services with a paywall such as video on demand , and many more . Computer scientist Michael K. Bergman is credited with coining the term deep web in 2001 as a search indexing term .
