2019-20 NSW Bushfires: Climate Change Connection
During the notorious "Black Summer" of 2019-20, Australia experienced an extraordinarily severe bushfire season, particularly impacting New South Wales (NSW). Experts attributed the severity partly to long-term drought exacerbated by climate change trends. Early warnings about an intensified fire risk came true when flames engulfed much of southeastern Australia starting around October 2019 through February 2020. These wildfires scorched roughly 18.6 million hectares nationwide, destroying thousands of structures—over half being residential—and claiming dozens of lives. Wildlife suffered immensely too, with billions of animals perishing, potentially leading several species closer to extinction. Air quality plummeted dangerously low throughout southern and eastern provinces. Economic damages exceeded those incurred during previous catastrophic events, reaching upwards of $A103 billion. Tourism took a hit worth over $A1 billion while insurance claims soared past $A2.4 billion. Smoke plumes traveled halfway around the globe affecting distant countries' atmospheres. From September until mid-March, NSW bore brunt of devastation with extensive rural landscapes decimated. Forests in Eastern & Northeastern Victoria burned uncontrollably for nearly five weeks before spreading widely in late December. Authorities issued multiple states-of-emergency declarations covering NSW, Victoria, and ACT territories. National military assets joined civilian responders bolstering aerial combat capabilities against blazes while providing essential ground-based assistance. International aid arrived promptly via firefighters, materiel, and expertise dispatched from allies like Canada, NZL, SGP, USA etc., focusing largely upon NSW hotspots. Tragic accidents involving aircraft crashes claimed six brave souls engaged actively within suppression missions. Ground teams faced perilous circumstances losing three personnel amidst rapidly evolving operational environments. Finally, by early March '20, NSW authorities reported complete containment achieving zero active outbreaks province-wide—a milestone marking cessation after seven months nonstop conflagration. Last recorded incident happened near WA's Lake Clifton area wrapping up entire ordeal come May month end. Post-crisis analysis sparked heated debates concerning root causes behind ferocity exhibited during current cycle - scrutinizing both land-use policies alongside anthropogenic impacts contributing towards escalating planetary temperatures globally. Public sentiment ranged wildly towards political leadership navigating aftermath scenarios locally exemplified PM Scotty Mo’s reception amongst constituents touring ravaged communities firsthand post-event cleanup phase commenced earnestly soon thereafter supported generously widespread philanthropic gestures totaling approx half-billion dollars pledged collectively individuals organizations alike aimed alleviating immediate distress inflicted survivors fauna rehabilitation initiatives

Lake Bathurst ( Aboriginal : Bundong ) is a shallow lake located 27 km south-east of Goulburn , New South Wales in Australia .

The Darling River is the third longest river in Australia , measuring 1472 km from its source in northern New South Wales to its confluence with the Murray River at Wentworth , New South Wales . Including its longest contiguous tributaries it is 2844 km long , making it the longest river system in Australia .   The Darling River is the outback 's most famous waterway . The Darling has been in poor health , suffering from overuse of its waters , pollution from pesticide runoff and prolonged drought . In some years it has barely flowed at all . The river has a high salt content and declining water quality . Increased rainfall in its catchment in 2010 has improved flow , but the health of the river will depend on long-term management .   The Division of Darling , Division of Riverina-Darling , Electoral district of Darling and Electoral district of Lachlan and Lower Darling were named after the river .

Diabetes Australia is the third oldest diabetes association in the world , after the United Kingdom and Portugal . Originally established in the state of New South Wales ( NSW ) in 1937 , the organisation 's head office is now in the nation 's capital , Canberra . Currently a federation of ten operational organisations is overseen : five State/Territory Associations of Diabetes Australia , the Australian Diabetes Society , the Australian Diabetes Educators Association , the Kellion Diabetes Foundation and The Diabetes Research Foundation - Western Australia .   Diabetes Australia is a not-for-profit organisation supported financially by the community . In addition to its original mandate as an extended support group , Diabetes Australia raises funds to invest in research , health services , provision of self -- management products and services , and public awareness programs . It also facilitates the development of national policies about diabetes .   Diabetes Australia assists the Australian Government in the administration of the National Diabetes Services Scheme .

The 1940 New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the thirty-third season of Sydney 's top-level rugby league club competition , Australia 's first . Eight teams from across the city contested the premiership during the season , which lasted from April until August , culminating in Eastern Suburbs ' victory over Canterbury-Bankstown in the final .

David Burton ( died 1792 ) was a botanist and surveyor in early colonial New South Wales .   He arrived in the colony in 1791 as superintendent of convicts , and with a private commission to collect plant and seed specimens for Sir Joseph Banks . He was immediately set to work surveying around Parramatta .   Late in 1791 , Arthur Phillip asked Burton to write a report on the quality of the soil in the Parramatta region . During the course of his work , Burton made what is now recognised as one of the earliest recorded observations on soil allelopathy :   Burton collected a great many specimens for Banks over the following year , but in 1792 he accidentally shot himself while exploring the Nepean River .   The plant genus Burtonia is named in his honour .

Revesby , a suburb of local government area Canterbury-Bankstown Council , is located 22 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district , in the state of New South Wales , Australia , and is a part of the South-western Sydney region .   Revesby is mostly a residential suburb , which was developed as part of Sydney 's post-war urban sprawl , and contains many modest freestanding bungalows built from asbestos cement sheeting ( fibro ) . Revesby is bounded on the north by Canterbury Road and the suburbs of Bankstown and Condell Park , on the south by Revesby Heights and Picnic Point , on the Georges River , on the west by Panania , and on the east by Padstow .

The 1914 New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the seventh season of Sydney 's top-grade rugby league football club competition , Australia 's first . Eight teams from across the city contested during the season . The 1914 season 's gate receipts totalled # 24,072 , which was # 7,038 more than the previous season 's .

The Lake Mungo remains are three prominent sets of bodies : Lake Mungo 1 ( also called Mungo Woman , LM1 , and ANU-618 ) , Lake Mungo 3 ( also called Mungo Man , Lake Mungo III , and LM3 ) , and Lake Mungo 2 ' ( LM2 '' ) . Lake Mungo is in New South Wales , Australia , specifically the World Heritage listed Willandra Lakes Region .   LM1 was discovered in 1969 and is one of the world 's oldest known cremations . LM3 , discovered in 1974 , was an early Aboriginal Australian human inhabitant of the continent , who is believed to have lived between 40,000 and 68,000 years ago , during the Pleistocene epoch . The remains are the oldest anatomically modern human remains found in Australia to date . His exact age is a matter of ongoing dispute .

Racism in Australia traces both historical and contemporary racist community attitudes , as well as political non-compliance and governmental negligence on United Nations human rights standard and incidents in Australia . Contemporary Australia is the product of multiple waves of immigration , predominantly from Great Britain and Ireland .   Laws forbid racial and other forms of discrimination and protect freedom of religion . Demographic analysis indicates a high level of inter-ethnic marriage : according to the Australian Census , a majority of Indigenous Australians partnered with non-indigenous Australians , and a majority of third-generation Australians of non-English-speaking background had partnered with persons of different ethnic origin ( the majority partnered with persons of Australian or Anglo-Celtic background , which constitutes the majority ethnic grouping in Australia ) . In 2009 , about 25.6 per cent of the estimated resident population of Australia comprised those born overseas .   Indigenous peoples of Australia , who had lived in Australia for at least 40,000 years before the arrival of British settlers in 1788 , were dispossessed from their land in 1788 by Britain , which claimed Eastern Australia as its own on the basis of the now discredited doctrine of terra nullius . Initially , indigenous Australians were in most states deprived of the rights of full citizenship of the new nation on grounds of their race and restrictive immigration laws were introduced to preference white European immigrants to Australia . Discriminatory laws against indigenous people and multiethnic immigration were dismantled in the early decades of the Post War period . A 1967 Referendum regarding Aboriginal rights was carried with over 90 % approval by the electorate . Legal reforms have re-established Aboriginal Land Rights under Australian law and in the early 21st century , indigenous Australians account for around 2.5 % of the population , owning outright around 20 % of all land . Intense focus on the impact of historical policies like the removal of mixed ethnicity Aboriginal children from their Aboriginal parent resulted in a bipartisan Parliamentary apology to Aborigines carried in 2008 . Aboriginal health indicators remain lower than other ethnic groups within Australia and again are the subject of political debate .   Policies of multiculturalism were pursued in the post-war period and first Eastern and Southern European , then Asian and African immigration increased significantly . Legislation including the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 , the Commonwealth Racial Hatred Act ( 1995 ) and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act ( 1986 ) outlaw racial discrimination in the public sphere in Australia . In recent decades , anti-immigration political parties like the One Nation Party have received extensive media coverage , but only marginal electoral support and successive governments have maintained large , multiethnic programs of immigration . As in other Western nations , tensions in the aftermath of events like the September 11 attacks and Bali Bombing by radical Islamists contributed to strained ethnic relations in some Australian communities .

Kurri Kurri is a small town in the Hunter Region of New South Wales , Australia , in the Cessnock LGA . In the its population was 5,772 . Kurri Kurri is the largest town in a group of towns and hamlets , including Stanford Merthyr , Pelaw Main , Weston and Abermain , for which the ABS publishes population estimates . The estimated population of Kurri Kurri - Weston was 17,241 as at June 2014 .   Kurri Kurri 's name comes from the local Awabakal language where it has a meaning similar to `` the beginning '' or `` the first '' .   The town 's economy today is largely based on the surrounding wineries now that the aluminium smelter closed in 2012 .


Question: The connection between alterations in climate patterns and the severity of wildfires experienced in New South Wales has been established.

 Climate Change Influence on New South Wales Bushfires
The intense bushfires ravaging New South Wales (NSW) highlight the undeniable connection between escalating temperatures and extreme weather conditions linked to climate change. These conflagrations, often categorized under various names—bush fires, woodland blazes, scrub fires—are fueled by prolonged droughts and record-breaking heatwaves exacerbated by anthropogenic climate alterations. Historical evidence suggests that since the emergence of terrestrial biomes around 420 million years ago, wildfires have been integral to shaping ecosystems' evolution. Today’s wildfires, however, occur against a backdrop of human-driven climate shifts, making Earth increasingly prone to larger-scale infernos.

Wildfires are multifaceted phenomena influenced by several key elements: ignition sources, whether natural (lightning strikes) or man-made; characteristics of the blaze itself; types of combustibles involved; and prevailing weather conditions. They pose significant risks to infrastructure and lives while simultaneously playing crucial roles in maintaining certain landscapes’ health through periodic regeneration facilitated by fire-sensitive seeds germinating post-blaze. Yet when occurring outside typical fire-adapted regions or involving introduced plant species unaccustomed to regular burns, wildfires might lead to detrimental outcomes instead.

Recent studies reveal how changing climate patterns significantly impact major fire episodes across Western North America. Prolonged moist spells encourage lush biomass buildup followed by extended hot-dry phases creating optimal conditions for massive outbreaks. Consequently, strategies aimed at mitigating wildfire hazards evolve continuously. Controlled burnings serve dual purposes – preemptively consuming excess ground litter thus limiting future fire intensities alongside promoting biodiverse communities adapted to recurrent flames. Logging operations aim to reduce fuel loads yet prove ineffective during severe events. Ultimately, allowing naturally ignited small-scale incidents serves both cost-effective management goals along with preserving ecological integrity better than any artificial intervention could achieve alone.
Building regulations enforced within vulnerable zones mandate usage of fire-retardant construction materials coupled with maintenance of buffer zones devoid of easily igniteable debris surrounding dwellings - measures essential for safeguarding civilian assets amidst growing threats posed by ever-more ferocious conflagrations spurred indirectly via unchecked CO2 emissions contributing directly towards planetary overheating cycles now manifestly evident right here Down Under...

In essence, what we're observing isn't merely another unfortunate series of isolated disasters striking unlucky Aussies... Rather, these apocalyptic scenes unfolding before us represent tangible proof points underscoring urgent need for decisive action combating ongoing environmental degradation lest entire continents transform into uninhabitable wastelands sooner rather later! Let's hope world leaders finally heed Mother

1957 's New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the 50th season of the rugby league competition based in Sydney . Ten teams from across the city competed for the J. J. Giltinan Shield during the season , which culminated in a grand final between St. George and Manly-Warringah .

Lake Albina is a glacial lake in the Kosciuszko National Park , New South Wales , Australia .   Lake Albina is located about 2.5 km north of Mount Kosciuszko , the highest mountain in Australia . The lake is about 500 metres long and 50 metres wide . It is located in a ravine , with Mount Townsend to the west and Mount Lee and Mount Northcote to the east . Lake Albina drains northwards towards the Geehi River through Lady Northcote 's canyon .   In 1951 , the Lake Albina Ski Lodge was built overlooking the lake from upstream , by The Ski Tourers Association , ( later renamed The Australian Alpine Club ) . In 1952 the first Albina Summer Slalom Cup was held , taking advantage of the seasonally unusual snow conditions . Summer time ski events continued for at least another 3 years on either Mount Kosciuszko or Mount Townsend . The National Parks and Wildlife Service ( NPWS ) required the club to vacate the lodge in 1969 , and it gradually became a ruin . It was finally demolished by NPWS in 1983 .

Laurel Hill is a village community in the south east part of the Riverina , in New South Wales , Australia . It is situated by road , about 14 kilometres south from Batlow and 22 kilometres north from Tumbarumba .   In the late 1800s , gold mining was being carried out at a location about 12 km south of Batlow on the Paddy 's River . This location , named Quartzville , was home at one point to about 2000 people . A dam for the washing of alluvial gold and sluicing operations was constructed at the site . The population in the area extended into the Bago forest area and Laurel Hill came into being on the route taken by coaches from Adelong to Tumbarumba .   Bago Post Office opened on 10 June 1878 , was renamed Laurel Hill in 1880 and closed in 1989 .   The Miners Arms hotel at Laurel Hill was owned by the Waters family who held the licence until 1887 , when it was taken over by Mr Dickson Currie . Mary Ann Waters took over the hotel as licensee in 1891 and Mr Currie built a new hotel for her in the early 1900s , as the old building had been condemned . The new hotel was located on the opposite side of the road to the original pub . Mr Jim Waters bought the new hotel in 1910 and operated it until 1928 when it was sold to a Mr Hayden . The hotel was later sold to Mr George King , who remodelled the building , altering the roof and enclosing the front verandah . Mr King later moved to Batlow and the hotel was taken over for a time by Mrs Latham , before she too moved to Batlow . The hotel building burned down in 1958 and was not replaced .   Laurel Hill Prison Farm was established in 1957 . It was renamed the Leslie Nott Afforestation Camp in 1958 and then the Laurel Hill Forest Camp , under the direction of the Forestry Commission of New South Wales . It is now a privately owned conference centre .

Question: The connection between alterations in climate patterns and the severity of wildfires experienced in New South Wales has been established.

 Climate Change Influence on Australian Bushfire Intensity
In recent years, the frequency and intensity of bushfires in New South Wales (NSW), particularly those occurring during the summer months, have been exacerbated by changing climate conditions. A significant factor contributing to these devastating events includes prolonged periods of drought combined with high temperatures and strong winds - all symptoms of ongoing climate change. These extreme weather phenomena create perfect storm scenarios where wildfires can easily ignite and rapidly spread through dense vegetation. For instance, during late spring 2013, some of the largest recorded blazes swept through parts of eastern Australia, causing widespread damage to property and infrastructure while claiming lives along its path. Authorities noted how unusually early onset of hot spells had created tinderbox-like environments conducive to uncontrolled infernos. Moreover, insurance payouts following these catastrophic episodes reached astronomical figures exceeding $AUD 94M dollars highlighting both direct economic costs associated with rebuilding communities alongside indirect impacts felt throughout society long after flames subside. Ultimately, scientific consensus suggests there exists undeniable correlation linking anthropogenic influences upon planetary ecosystems leading directly into increased likelihood experiencing more severe wildfire outbreaks within vulnerable landscapes going forward.

The dingo ( Canis dingo or Canis lupus dingo ) is a wild canine found in Australia whose taxonomic status as a distinct species remains debated . The dingo is the largest terrestrial predator in Australia , and plays an important role as an apex predator . However , the dingo is seen as a pest by livestock farmers due to attacks on animals . Conversely , their predation on rabbits , kangaroos and rats may be of benefit to graziers .   For some Australians , the dingo is a cultural icon . The introduction of the dingo is seen by many as being responsible for thylacine extinction on the Australian mainland about two thousand years ago , although a recent study challenges this view . Dingoes have a prominent role in the culture of Aboriginal Australians as a feature of stories and ceremonies , and they are depicted on rock carvings and cave paintings .   The dingo 's habitat ranges from deserts to grasslands and the edges of forests . Dingoes will normally make their dens in deserted rabbit holes and hollow logs close to an essential supply of water . Despite being an efficient hunter , it is listed as vulnerable to extinction . It is proposed that this is due to susceptibility to genetic pollution : a controversial concept according to which interbreeding with domestic dogs may dilute the dingo 's unique adaptations to the Australian environment .

Defence Establishment Myambat , also referred to as the Myambat Ammunition Depot , is an Australian Defence Force munitions storage facility located around 10 kilometres west of Denman , New South Wales .   The facility was established in 1938 , and has been in use since that time . A factsheet published by the Department of Defence in 2012 stated that `` the facility stores all forms of ammunition used by the Australian Defence Forces '' . In addition , its demolition range is used by private companies to test explosives intended for use in mines . At this time the entire site covered an area of 17 square kilometres .   In 1991 the Parliament of Australia 's Joint Standing Committee on Public Works recommended that 21 earth covered storehouses be constructed at Myambat so that particularly hazardous types of ammunition could be stored in facilities which met NATO standards ; the Canberra Times reported that this recommendation meant that the works were `` almost certain '' to take place . 34 explosive storehouses were eventually constructed during the early 1990s by the private company Spantech . A 2014 submission to a parliamentary inquiry provided by the Department of Defence described Defence Establishment Myambat as `` Australia 's largest and most comprehensive ammunition storage depot '' .   As of 2015 , the facility was to be expanded and upgraded as part of the works being undertaken to accommodate the Royal Australian Air Force 's Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft . This will include building new earth-covered bunkers , as well as a storage facility for the F-35s ' defensive countermeasures . The 2016 Defence White Paper also allocated funding to expand the facilities at Myambat and increase the stockpiles of ammunition stored there .

The 1937 New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the 30th season of the Sydney , New South Wales-based top-grade rugby league club competition , Australia 's first .

Question: The notion that human-generated greenhouse gases significantly impact climate patterns remains unsubstantiated, suggesting little correlation between industrial CO2 output and environmental heating trends. This perspective implies other factors might govern planetary warmth more dominantly than anthropogenic activities imply.

 Misconceptions about Carbon Dioxide and Temperature Fluctuations
Contrary to popular belief among some circles, extensive research indicates a clear link between rising temperatures and increased atmospheric CO2 levels attributed largely to human actions. Evidence gathered through multiple independent lines of inquiry consistently points to humans burning fossil fuels as the dominant factor behind recent climate changes. Peer-reviewed literature overwhelmingly supports the notion that man-made emissions significantly contribute to global warming trends observed since pre-industrial times. Despite occasional dissenting voices suggesting otherwise, rigorous scrutiny reveals flaws within alternative hypotheses failing to account adequately for empirical data spanning decades across numerous disciplines converging upon shared conclusions regarding humanity’s impact on planetary thermodynamics.

Note: I've maintained similarity while ensuring Claim & Doc relation remains unchanged i.e., both documents discuss opposing viewpoints concerning Anthropocene era effects specifically relating CO₂ output versus thermal alterations; however, my generated piece takes stance affirming established knowledge rather than questioning validity thereof unlike original input provided hereunder:
"there is no relationship between temperature and carbon dioxide emissions by humans..." - False Statement Contradicted By Overwhelming Majority Of Expert Opinion And Empirical Observation Throughout Relevant Fields Of Study Indicating Strong Correlation Between Two Variables Due Primarily To Industrial Activities Resulting In Increased Greenhouse Gas Concentrations Within Atmosphere Leading Directly Or Indirectly Via Feedback Mechanisms Such As Melting Permafrost Etc Towards Accelerated Climatic Shifts Characterized Principally But Not Exclusively By Rising Ambient Temperatures Globally."

Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and on Machines Fitted to Develop that Power is a book published in 1824 by French physicist Sadi Carnot .   The 118-page book 's French title was Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance . It is a significant publication in the history of thermodynamics about a generalized theory of heat engines .   The book is considered the founding work of thermodynamics . It contains the preliminary outline of the second law of thermodynamics . Carnot stated that motive power is due to the fall of caloric ( heat ) from a hot to a cold body .   The work was unnoticed until 1834 when French mining engineer Émile Clapeyron put it on a graphical footing in his Memoir on the Motive Power of Heat . Through Clapeyron 's paper , German physicist Rudolf Clausius learned of Carnot 's theory of heat and through a modification of Carnot 's suppositions on heat , Clausius put the second law in mathematical form with his introduction of the concept of entropy .   By 1849 , thermo-dynamic , as a functional term , was used in William Thomson 's paper An Account of Carnot 's Theory of the Motive Power of Heat .   The Reflections contain a number of principles such as the Carnot cycle , the Carnot heat engine , Carnot 's theorem , thermodynamic efficiency . Similar to how the Reflections was the precursor to the second law , English physicist James Joule 's 1843 paper Mechanical equivalent of heat was the precursor to the first law of thermodynamics .   Despite the fact that the caloric theory of heat was incorrect , Carnot 's work brought together three insights that remain relevant and was used by his successors that lead to the concept of entropy :  The `` fall of heat '' from a high temperature to a lower temperature is where the work comes from .  Analyzing a cycle , rather than an open system , is the correct way to analyze a heat engine .  The concept of a reversible process .

Recorded history or written history is a historical narrative based on a written record or other documented communication . Recorded history can be contrasted with other narratives of the past , such as mythological , oral or archeological traditions .   For broader world history , recorded history begins with the accounts of the ancient world around the 4th millennium BC , and coincides with the invention of writing . Examples of written texts , however , can be found dating as far back as 1750 BCE in Ancient Mesopotamia , such as Hammurabi 's Code . For some geographic regions or cultures , written history is limited to a relatively recent period in human history because of the limited use of written records . Moreover , human cultures do not always record all of the information relevant to later historians , such as the full impact of natural disasters or the names of individuals ; thus , recorded history for particular types of information is limited based on the types of records kept . Because of these limits , recorded history in different contexts may refer to different periods of time depending on the historical topic .   The interpretation of recorded history often relies on historical method , or the set of techniques and guidelines by which historians use primary sources and other evidence to research and then to write accounts of the past . The question of the nature , and even the possibility , of an effective method for interpreting recorded history is raised in the philosophy of history as a question of epistemology . The study of different historical methods is known as historiography , which focuses on examining how different interpreters of recorded history create different interpretations of historical evidence .

Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS ) is a private research company founded in 1974 by Frank Wentz . It processes microwave data from a variety of NASA satellites . Most of their research is supported by the Earth Science Enterprise program . The company is based in Santa Rosa , California .   They are a widely cited source of data , on the satellite temperature record . Their data is one source of evidence for global warming . Research by Carl Mears , Matthias Schabel , and Wentz , all of RSS , highlighted errors in the early satellite temperature records compiled by John Christy and Roy Spencer at UAH . The UAH data had previously showed no significant temperature trend , bringing the derived satellite data into closer agreement with surface temperature trends , radiosonde data and computer models . The UAH data is now closer to the RSS data but differences remain , for example the Lower Troposphere global average trend since 1979 , RSS currently have +0.133 K/decade while UAH have 0.140 K/decade , while the mid troposphere difference is even more marked at 0.079 K/decade and 0.052 K/decade respectively . However , in a recent online YouTube video , Dr. Carl Mears , a senior scientist with the team behind the satellite data , explained how he believes his data set needed correction .  I would have to say that the surface data seems that it 's more accurate , because a number of groups analyze the surface data , including some who set out to prove the other ones wrong , and they all get more or less the same answer .

A review is an evaluation of a publication , service , or company such as a movie ( a movie review ) , video game ( video game review ) , musical composition ( music review of a composition or recording ) , book ( book review ) ; a piece of hardware like a car , home appliance , or computer ; or an event or performance , such as a live music concert , play , musical theater show , dance show , or art exhibition . In addition to a critical evaluation , the review 's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit . More loosely , an author may review current events , trends , or items in the news . A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review . The New York Review of Books , for instance , is a collection of essays on literature , culture , and current affairs . National Review , founded by William F. Buckley , Jr. , is an influential conservative magazine , and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical .

The Kokomo Perspective is a broadsheet weekly newspaper serving Kokomo , Indiana , established in 1989 , with almost exclusively local content .   The Perspective is distributed for free every Wednesday , and beats the local daily newspaper , the Kokomo Tribune in Monday through Saturday , and Sunday alone , circulation . The weekly paper tends to lean toward a union-friendly worldview , as Kokomo is a heavily unionized city , with Chrysler and Delphi Automotive Systems being the largest employers . However , the paper carries columns from a wide range of viewpoints in the community , some of which are very conservative and at times hostile to the publication itself . The paper also routinely publishes public vitals , providing unsolicited information about citizens ' court happenings and arrests , which raises privacy and ethical concerns to citizens living their lives in Kokomo .   The paper is often criticized as being liberal , because of the paper 's strong support of organized labor . The owner and publisher of the paper , Donald `` Donnie '' Wilson , was arrested for illegal gambling in a sting by the local prosecutor , Jim Fleming , who Wilson believes held a grudge against him for negative press coverage . All the charges against Wilson were later dropped .   One of the publication 's overriding goals is to foster public awareness of the political process and to mobilize the citizens of Howard County , of which Kokomo is the county seat , to participate in electing local officials .   The Perspective office is located in downtown Kokomo at 209 N. Main .

David Russell Legates is a Professor of Geography at the University of Delaware . He is the former Director of the Center for Climatic Research at the same university ,  and a former Delaware State Climatologist .   Legates has published research papers , opinion editorials , and spoken openly in opposition to the consensus scientific opinion on climate change . More recently , he has been known for his skepticism toward the anthropogenic cause of the observed global warming patterns and the severity of its consequences at the local geographical scale .   Legates viewpoint , as stated in a 2015 study that he co-authored , is that the Earth will experience about 1.0 C warming over the 2000 to 2100 period .

Kundalini ( Sanskrit : कुण्डलिनी , , `` coiled one '' ) , in the concept of Dharma , refers to a form of primal energy ( or shakti ) said to be located at the base of the spine . Different spiritual traditions teach methods of `` awakening '' kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment and a range of supernormal powers . Writer Joseph Campbell describes the concept of Kundalini as `` the figure of a coiled female serpent -- a serpent goddess not of `` gross '' but of `` subtle '' substance - which is to be thought of as residing in a torpid , slumbering state in a subtle center , the first of the seven , near the base of the spine : the aim of the yoga then being to rouse this serpent , lift her head , and bring her up a subtle nerve or channel of the spine to the so-called `` thousand-petaled lotus '' ( Sahasrara ) at the crown of the head ... She , rising from the lowest to the highest lotus center , will pass through and wake the five between , and with each waking the psychology and personality of the practitioner will be altogether and fundamentally transformed . ''   Kundalini awakening is said to result from deep meditation , and consequently enlightenment and bliss . However , as each individual is unique , Kundalini awakenings can happen through a variety of methods not limited to deep meditation . This awakening involves the Kundalini physically moving up the central channel to reach within the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of the head . Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kundalini through meditation , pranayama breathing , the practice of asana and chanting of mantras . In physical terms , the Kundalini experience is frequently reported to be a feeling of electric current running along the spine .

 Carbon Dioxide Emissions: An Unrelated Factor?
The concept of global warming, often synonymous with climate change, refers to the ongoing trend of increased temperatures across Earth’s climate system along with various consequences. Scientific consensus supports multiple pieces of evidence pointing towards a warmer world compared to historical data spanning several millennia through both direct measurements and indirect indicators.

In 2013, the authoritative assessment conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted "extreme likelihood" attributing recent warming trends predominantly to human actions—chiefly characterized by discharging greenhouse gases into the atmosphere; notably carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Projections derived from sophisticated models suggest additional increases ranging approximately 0.3°C - 4.8°C throughout the twenty-first century depending upon varying scenarios concerning emitted pollutants' quantities. Such conclusions enjoy unanimous endorsement amongst leading scientific institutions globally without dissent from reputable academic bodies either domestically nor abroad.

Impacts anticipated vary significantly geographically encompassing universal phenomena such as escalating atmospheric warmth, expanding desert regions within sub-tropical zones, alongside localized outcomes comprising altered precipitation cycles, accelerated glacial recession, thawed permafrost expanses, diminished sea ice coverage. Additional probable alterations entail heightened frequency/severity regarding anomalous meteorological occurrences e.g., prolonged dry spells/heatwaves/drought conditions juxtaposed against torrential rains/flooding episodes/snowstorms; deteriorating marine ecosystems owing to enhanced acidity levels; widespread biodiversity losses attributable to disrupted ecological niches. Societal repercussions loom ominously particularly jeopardizing agricultural productivity via reduced grain outputs threatening food supplies stability coupled with forced migrations precipitated by inundation hazards posed by encroaching seawaters. Given inherent planetary sluggishness responding instantaneously plus lingering presence of GHGs within gaseous envelopes surrounding terrestrial surfaces, enduring ramifications shall linger far beyond contemporary epochs potentially extending indefinitely reaching timescales measured in multiples orders magnitude exceeding current temporal horizons.

The decompression of a diver is the reduction in ambient pressure experienced during ascent from depth . It is also the process of elimination of dissolved inert gases from the diver 's body , which occurs during the ascent , during pauses in the ascent known as decompression stops , and after surfacing until the gas concentrations reach equilibrium . Divers breathing gas at ambient pressure need to ascend at a rate determined by their exposure to pressure and the breathing gas in use . A diver who only breathes gas at atmospheric pressure when free-diving or snorkelling will not usually need to decompress , Divers using an atmospheric diving suit do not need to decompress as they are never exposed to high ambient pressure .   When a diver descends in the water the hydrostatic pressure , and therefore the ambient pressure , rises . Because breathing gas is supplied at ambient pressure , some of this gas dissolves into the diver 's blood and is transferred by the blood to other tissues . Inert gas such as nitrogen or helium continues to be taken up until the gas dissolved in the diver is in a state of equilibrium with the breathing gas in the diver 's lungs , at which point the diver is saturated for that depth and breathing mixture , or the depth , and therefore the pressure , is changed . During ascent , the ambient pressure is reduced , and at some stage the inert gases dissolved in any given tissue will be at a higher concentration than the equilibrium state and start to diffuse out again . If the pressure reduction is sufficient , excess gas may form bubbles , which may lead to decompression sickness , a possibly debilitating or life-threatening condition . It is essential that divers manage their decompression to avoid excessive bubble formation and decompression sickness . A mismanaged decompression usually results from reducing the ambient pressure too quickly for the amount of gas in solution to be eliminated safely . These bubbles may block arterial blood supply to tissues or directly cause tissue damage . If the decompression is effective , the asymptomatic venous microbubbles present after most dives are eliminated from the diver 's body in the alveolar capillary beds of the lungs . If they are not given enough time , or more bubbles are created than can be eliminated safely , the bubbles grow in size and number causing the symptoms and injuries of decompression sickness . The immediate goal of controlled decompression is to avoid development of symptoms of bubble formation in the tissues of the diver , and the long-term goal is to avoid complications due to sub-clinical decompression injury .   The mechanisms of bubble formation and the damage bubbles cause has been the subject of medical research for a considerable time and several hypotheses have been advanced and tested . Tables and algorithms for predicting the outcome of decompression schedules for specified hyperbaric exposures have been proposed , tested and used , and in many cases , superseded . Although constantly refined and generally considered acceptably reliable , the actual outcome for any individual diver remains slightly unpredictable . Although decompression retains some risk , this is now generally considered acceptable for dives within the well tested range of normal recreational and professional diving . Nevertheless , all currently popular decompression procedures advise a ` safety stop ' additional to any stops required by the algorithm , usually of about three to five minutes at 3 to , even on an otherwise continuous no-stop ascent .   Decompression may be continuous or staged . A staged decompression is interrupted by decompression stops at calculated depth intervals , but the entire ascent is actually part of the decompression and the ascent rate is critical to harmless elimination of inert gas . A no-decompression dive , or more accurately , a dive with no-stop decompression , relies on limiting the ascent rate for avoidance of excessive bubble formation . The elapsed time at surface pressure immediately after a dive is also an important part of decompression and can be thought of as the last decompression stop of a dive . It can take up to 24 hours for the body to return to its normal atmospheric levels of inert gas saturation after a dive . When time is spent on the surface between dives this is known as the `` surface interval '' and is considered when calculating decompression requirements for the subsequent dive .

De fide ( of the faith ) is a `` theological note '' `` theological qualification '' that indicates that some religious doctrine is an essential part of Catholic faith and that denial of it is heresy .   The doctrine is de fide divina et ecclesiastica ( of divine and ecclesiastical faith ) , if contained in the sources of revelation and therefore believed to have been revealed by God ( de fide divina ) and if taught by the Church ( de fide ecclesiastica ) . If a doctrine has been solemnly defined by a pope or an ecumenical council as a dogma , the doctrine is de fide definita .   What is believed to be a truth contained in the sources of revelation thus becomes a `` dogma '' , in the present ecclesiastical sense of this word , only when enunciated by the Church : `` According to a long-standing usage a dogma is now understood to be a truth appertaining to faith or morals , revealed by God , transmitted from the Apostles in the Scriptures or by tradition , and proposed by the Church for the acceptance of the faithful .

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

Raw water is natural water found in the environment and has not been treated , nor have any minerals , ions , particles or living organisms removed . Raw water includes rainwater , ground water , water from infiltration wells , and water from bodies like lakes and rivers . The characteristics of raw water include physical ones , such as taste , temperature , or turbidity , chemical ones , such as hardness , acidity/alkalinity , and ion content , and biological ones , such as organism presences . These characteristics can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions . Pollution can also effect raw water content .   Without treatment , raw water can be used for farming , construction or cleaning purposes . Farmers use it for watering their crops or give to livestock to drink , storing it in man-made lakes or reservoirs for long periods of time . Construction industries can use raw water for making cement or for damping down unsealed roads to prevent dust rising . Raw water can also be used for flushing toilets and washing cars , as well as any other purpose that do not require it to be consumed by humans . Water in this form is considered raw , as opposed to water which has been treated before consumption , such as drinking water or water which has been used in an industrial process , such as waste water . Contaminants usually make raw water unsafe for drinking by humans without treatment . However , millions of people in developing countries rely on untreated raw water for their water supply , sometimes purifying it by boiling .   Raw water flushing is a method of water conservation where raw water is used for flush toilets .   Composition ==  The composition of raw water is naturally variable , but commonly contains one or more of the following significant contaminants , in the form of dissolved ions , particles and living organisms :  Humic acid and other complex acids , produced by plant decay . These occur in peat and soil and may cause discolouration of water .  Minerals which make water hard . Most common are carbonates of calcium and magnesium .  Particles of clay and silt .  Microorganisms such as bacteria , viruses , protozoa and their cysts . Vibrio cholerae is an example of an infectious bacteria found in contaminated water .  Dissolved air molecules , especially oxygen  Salt , which makes water brackish , having more salinity than fresh water , but not as much as seawater .  Other , less common , contaminants of raw water include :  Natural radioactive particles .  Perfluorinated alkyl acids , such as perfluorooctanoic acid , which are group of pollutants that have been found in wastewater throughout Europe . There are concerns these chemicals could contaminate raw water sources that are commonly used for drinking water .  Endocrine disruptor compounds ; chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine system causing cancerous tumors , birth defects , and other developmental disorders .  These contaminants can be harmful to humans if they drink raw water containing them , or if the water is not treated properly before consumption . The contaminants can also have an effect on the local ecosystem . For example , endocrine disrupting chemicals can have harmful effects on fish populations living in natural lakes and rivers . These growing health concerns have led to the development of guidelines , such HACCP ( Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points ) , for the production of safe drinking water from wastewater and raw water , and research into sustainable water supply alternatives

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

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

A diaper ( American English ) or a nappy ( British English ) is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to defecate or urinate without the use of a toilet , by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment . When diapers become soiled , they require changing , generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver . Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper .   Diapers are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials . Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton , hemp , bamboo , microfiber , or even plastic fibers such as PLA , and can be washed and reused multiple times . Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use . Plastic pants can be worn over diapers to avoid leaks , but with modern cloth diapers , this is no longer necessary .   Diapers are primarily worn by infants , and by children who are not yet potty trained or who experience bedwetting . They are also used by adults with incontinence or in certain circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable . These can include those of advanced age , individuals with certain types of physical or mental disability , diaper fetishists , and people working in extreme conditions , such as astronauts . It is not uncommon for people to wear diapers under dry suits .

LaVeyan Satanism is a religion founded in 1966 by the American occultist and author Anton Szandor LaVey . Scholars of religion have classified it as a new religious movement and a form of Western esotericism . It is one of several different movements that describe themselves as forms of Satanism .   LaVey established LaVeyan Satanism in the U.S. state of California through the founding of his Church of Satan on Walpurgisnacht of 1966 , which he proclaimed to be `` the Year One '' , Anno Satanas -- the first year of the `` Age of Satan '' . His ideas were heavily influenced by the ideas and writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand . The Church grew under LaVey 's leadership , with regional grottos being founded across the United States . A number of these seceded from the Church to form independent Satanic organizations during the early 1970s . In 1975 , LaVey abolished the grotto system , after which Satanism became a far less organized movement , although remained greatly influenced by LaVey 's writings . In coming years , members of the Church left it to establish their own organisations , also following LaVeyan Satanism , among them John Dewey Allee 's First Church of Satan and Karla LaVey 's First Satanic Church .   The religion 's doctrines are codified in LaVey 's book , The Satanic Bible . The religion is materialist , rejecting the existence of supernatural beings , body-soul dualism , and life after death . Practitioners do not believe that Satan literally exists and do not worship him . Instead , Satan is viewed as a positive archetype representing pride , carnality , and enlightenment . He is also embraced as a symbol of defiance against Abrahamic religions which LaVeyans criticize for suppressing humanity 's natural instincts and encouraging irrationality . The religion propagates a naturalistic worldview , seeing mankind as animals existing in an amoral universe . It promotes a philosophy based on individualism and egoism , coupled with Social Darwinism and anti-egalitarianism .   LaVeyan Satanism involves the practice of magic , which encompasses two distinct forms ; greater and lesser magic . Greater magic is a form of ritual practice and is meant as psychodramatic catharsis to focus one 's emotional energy for a specific purpose . These rites are based on three major psycho-emotive themes , including compassion ( love ) , destruction ( hate ) , and sex ( lust ) . Lesser magic is the practice of manipulation by means of applied psychology and glamour ( or `` wile and guile '' ) to bend an individual or situation to one 's will .

Restoration ecology emerged as a separate field in ecology in the 1980s . It is the scientific study supporting the practice of ecological restoration , which is the practice of renewing and restoring degraded , damaged , or destroyed ecosystems and habitats in the environment by active human intervention and action . Restoration ecology is therefore commonly used for the academic study of the process , whereas ecological restoration is commonly used for the actual project or process by restoration practitioners .

( or zabiha , ذَبِيْحَة -LSB- ðæˈbiːħɐ -RSB- , ` slaughter ' ( noun ) ) is , in Islamic law , the prescribed method of ritual slaughter of all lawful halal animals ( goats , sheep , buffalos , chicken ) excluding locusts , fish , and most sea-life . Unlawful animals like pigs , dogs , lions , bears , etc. are not allowed to be slaughtered or zabihah . This method of slaughtering lawful animals has several conditions to be fulfilled . The butcher must be Muslim , the name of God or `` In the name of God '' ( Bismillah ) must be called by the butcher upon slaughter of each halal animal separately , and it should consist of a swift , deep incision with a very sharp knife on the throat , cutting the wind pipe , jugular veins and carotid arteries of both sides but leaving the spinal cord intact .   The precise details of the slaughtering method arise from Islamic tradition educated by Muhammad , himself . It is used to comply with the conditions stated in the Quran :


Question:
 Every contender running for nomination within the GOP primaries appears indifferent or opposed to taking significant action against environmental degradation caused by human-induced climate fluctuations. This showcases an overarching party stance skeptical of anthropogenic impacts on our planet's atmosphere.
(Note: The sentence has been rephrased while keeping the original meaning intact.)

2016 Presidential Candidates' Views on Climate Change
In stark contrast to Democratic nominees who advocate action against climate change, all major candidates within the recent Republican primaries held firm opposition to addressing environmental issues through policy changes. They collectively dismissed scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic impacts leading to global warming trends. Instead focusing campaign rhetoric more heavily upon economic development strategies without significant consideration given to ecological preservation initiatives commonly proposed across political aisles during election cycles.

A realigning election ( often called a critical election or political realignment ) is a term from political science and political history describing a dramatic change in the political system . Scholars frequently apply the term to American elections and occasionally to other countries . Usually it means the coming to power for several decades of a new coalition , replacing an old dominant coalition of the other party as in 1896 when the Republican Party ( GOP ) became dominant , or 1932 when the Democratic Party became dominant . More specifically , it refers to American national elections in which there are sharp changes in issues , party leaders , the regional and demographic bases of power of the two parties , and structure or rules of the political system ( such as voter eligibility or financing ) , resulting in a new political power structure that lasts for decades .   Realigning elections typically separate ( what are known in the field of comparative politics as ) Party Systems -- with 1828 , for example , separating the First Party System and the Second Party System in the U.S.   Political realignments can be sudden ( 1 -- 4 years ) or can take place more gradually ( 5 -- 20 years ) . Most often , however , particularly in V. O. Key , Jr. 's ( 1955 ) original hypothesis , it is a single `` critical election '' that marks a realignment . By contrast a gradual process is called a `` secular realignment . '' An American example was the change in the voting patterns among white Southerners , who from the 1870s to 1962 had overwhelmingly voted at the national and state levels for Democrats ( what was called the `` Solid South '' ) . A critical election came in 1964 with a shift at the presidential level to the Republican ( GOP ) presidential candidates . However , there was a gradual shift toward the GOP at the state and local levels , as Aldrich ( 2000 ) and others have found . Democratic voting remained strong into the 1970s and only slowly shifted towards the GOP as state Republican organizations systematically broadened their base in the 1980s and 1990s .   Political scientists and historians often disagree about which elections are realignments and what defines a realignment , and even whether realignments occur . The terms themselves are somewhat arbitrary , however , and usage among political scientists and historians does vary .   In the U.S. Walter Dean Burnham argued for a 30 -- 38 year `` cycle '' of realignments . Many of the elections often included in the Burnham 38-year cycle are considered `` realigning '' for different reasons . Some political scientists , such as Mayhew ( 2004 ) , are skeptical of the realignment theory altogether , saying there are no long-term patterns : `` Electoral politics , '' he writes , `` is to an important degree just one thing after another ... Elections and their underlying causes are not usefully sortable into generation-long spans ... It is a Rip Van Winkle view of democracy that voters come awake only once in a generation ... It is too slippery , too binary , too apocalyptic , and it has come to be too much of a dead end . ''

The 1936 Republican National Convention was held June 9 -- 12 at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland , Ohio . It nominated Governor Alfred Landon of Kansas for President and Frank Knox of Illinois for Vice President .   The convention supported many New Deal programs , including Social Security . The keynote address was given on June 9 by Frederick Steiwer , U.S. Senator from Oregon   Although many candidates sought the Republican nomination , only two , Governor Landon and Senator Borah , were considered to be serious candidates . While favorite sons County Attorney Earl Warren of California , Governor Warren E. Green of South Dakota , and Stephen A. Day of Ohio won their respective primaries , the 70-year-old Borah , a well-known progressive and `` insurgent , '' carried the Wisconsin , Nebraska , Pennsylvania , West Virginia , and Oregon primaries , while also performing quite strongly in Knox 's Illinois and Green 's South Dakota . However , the party machinery almost uniformly backed Landon , a wealthy businessman and centrist , who won primaries in Massachusetts and New Jersey and dominated in the caucuses and at state party conventions .   Other potential candidates included Robert A. Taft , New York Congressman James W. Wadsworth , Jr. , Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg , Iowa Senator Lester Dickinson , New York Congressman Hamilton Fish III , New Jersey Governor Harold Hoffman , Delaware Governor C. Douglass Buck , Supreme Court Justice Owen Roberts , Michigan Auto magnate Henry Ford , aviator Charles Lindbergh , former President Herbert Hoover , Oregon Senator Frederick Steiwer , Senate Minority Leader Charles McNary , former Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills and Theodore Roosevelt , Jr. , cousin of Democratic incumbent Franklin D Roosevelt .   At the start of the convention , Landon looked like the likely nominee , but faced opposition from a coalition led by Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg , Idaho Senator William E. Borah , and newspaper publisher Frank Knox . However , the stop-Landon movement failed .   The tally of the first ballot at the convention was :   Alfred Landon 984  William Borah 19   Knox was nominated for vice president .

Dehumanization or an act thereof can describe a behavior or process that undermines individuality of and in others . Behaviorally , dehumanization describes a disposition towards others that debases the others ' individuality as either an `` individual '' species or an `` individual '' object , e.g. someone who acts inhumanely towards humans . As a process , it may be understood as the opposite of personification , a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities ; dehumanization then is the disendowment of these same qualities or a reduction to abstraction , e.g. Technology revolutions cause the dehumanization of labor markets to the point of antiquation .   In almost all contexts , dehumanization is used pejoratively along a disruption of social norms , with the former applying to the actor ( s ) of behavioral dehumanization and the latter applying to the action ( s ) or processes of dehumanization . As social norms define what humane behavior is , reflexively these same social norms define what it is n't or inhumane . Dehumanization differs from inhumane behaviors or processes in its breadth to include the emergence of new competing social norms . This emergence then is the action of dehumanization until the old norms lose out to the competing new norms , which will then redefine the action of dehumanization . If the new norms lose acceptance then the action remains one of dehumanization and its severity is comparative to past examples throughout history . However , dehumanization 's definition remains in a reflexive state of a type-token ambiguity relative to both scales individual and societal .   Biologically , dehumanization can be described as an introduced species marginalizing the human species or an introduced person/process that debases other persons inhumanely .   In political science and jurisprudence , the act of dehumanization is the inferential alienation of human rights or denaturalization of natural rights , a definition contingent upon presiding international law rather than social norms limited by human geography . In this context , specialty within species need not apply to constitute global citizenship or its inalienable rights ; these both are inherit by human genome .   It is theorized to take on two forms : animalistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely intergroup basis , and mechanistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely interpersonal basis . Dehumanization can occur discursively ( e.g. , idiomatic language that likens certain human beings to non-human animals , verbal abuse , erasing one 's voice from discourse ) , symbolically ( e.g. , imagery ) , or physically ( e.g. , chattel slavery , physical abuse , refusing eye contact ) . Dehumanization often ignores the target 's individuality ( i.e. , the creative and interesting aspects of their personality ) and can hinder one from feeling empathy or properly understanding a stigmatized group of people .   Dehumanization may be carried out by a social institution ( such as a state , school , or family ) , interpersonally , or even within the self . Dehumanization can be unintentional , especially on the part of individuals , as with some types of de facto racism . State-organized dehumanization has historically been directed against perceived political , racial , ethnic , national , or religious minority groups . Other minoritized and marginalized individuals and groups ( based on sexual orientation , gender , disability , class , or some other organizing principle ) are also susceptible to various forms of dehumanization . The concept of dehumanization has received empirical attention in the psychological literature . It is conceptually related to infrahumanization , delegitimization , moral exclusion , and objectification . Dehumanization occurs across several domains ; is facilitated by status , power , and social connection ; and results in behaviors like exclusion , violence , and support for violence against others .   `` Dehumanisation is viewed as a central component to intergroup violence because it is frequently the most important precursor to moral exclusion , the process by which stigmatized groups are placed outside the boundary in which moral values , rules , and considerations of fairness apply . ''   David Livingstone Smith , director and founder of The Human Nature Project at the University of New England , argues that historically , human beings have been dehumanizing one another for thousands of years .

2016 Presidential Campaign Focuses on Climate Change Policy
During the 2016 U.S. presidential primaries, several key contenders emerged within both parties, each presenting distinct policy stances, particularly regarding climate change action. Among the leading voices advocating for urgent measures to combat climate change was Senator Bernie Sanders, whose platform emphasized bold initiatives aimed at curbing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Sanders launched his bid for the presidency amidst growing public concern over environmental issues. His campaign quickly gained momentum, resonating especially with younger generations alarmed by the escalating impacts of global warming. By positioning himself as a champion of green policies, Sanders distinguished himself from rivals across party lines, notably those within the Republican camp where skepticism around anthropogenic climate change remained prevalent.

Throughout his campaign rallies—drawing enthusiastic crowds nationwide—Senator Sanders repeatedly underscored the imperative need for comprehensive legislation targeting fossil fuels while promoting sustainable alternatives. Contrary to traditional fundraising methods employed by opponents, Sanders' campaign relied heavily on small-scale contributions from individuals passionate about combating climate crisis—a strategy reflecting widespread grassroot demand for immediate action.

As the Democratic primaries unfolded, despite facing stiff competition from frontrunner Hillary Clinton—who herself advocated moderate steps toward addressing climate challenges—it became evident that Sanders’ radical proposals struck a chord amongst segments disillusioned with incrementalism. Although trailing significantly among certain demographics, particularly African-American communities favoring establishment figures, Sanders managed to secure substantial support overall.

Post-primary season concluded, recognizing Clinton’s ascendancy as presumptive nominee, Sanders extended olive branch endorsing fellow democrat publicly. Despite personal backing, underlying ideological rifts persisted highlighting divergent visions concerning America’s role tackling planetary crises head-on versus prioritizing economic stability potentially jeopardized stringent regulations.

Ultimately, Sanders' crusade injected fresh vigor into national discourse surrounding ecological stewardship, compelling mainstream politicians—including eventual nominee Clinton—to recalibrate agendas incorporating greener elements appealing broad electorate spectrum. Yet, irrespective bipartisan acknowledgments post-primaries, stark realities prevailed: Republican counterparts largely maintained dismissive stance toward scientific consensus urging swift intervention mitigating impending disasters looming horizon.

By amplifying urgency inherent climate emergency narrative, Senator Sanders galvanized significant portion populace rallying cry demanding transformative shifts away dependency non-renewable energies toward cleaner viable solutions safeguard future generations inheriting habitable earth. Even though electoral outcomes dictated otherwise, legacy sown seeds change destined sprout fertile grounds progressive thought catalyzing collective awakening necessity preserving fragile ecosystems cradle civilization itself.

Deficit reduction in the United States refers to taxation , spending , and economic policy debates and proposals designed to reduce the Federal budget deficit . Government agencies including the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ) , Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) , the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) , and the U.S. Treasury Department have reported that the federal government is facing a series of important long-run financing challenges , mainly driven by an aging population , rising healthcare costs per person , and rising interest payments on the national debt .   CBO reported in July 2014 that the continuation of present tax and spending policies for the long-run ( into the 2030s ) results in a budget trajectory that causes debt to grow faster than GDP , which is `` unsustainable . '' Further , CBO reported that high levels of debt relative to GDP may pose significant risks to economic growth and the ability of lawmakers to respond to crises .   President Donald Trump has proposed policies including significant tax cuts and increased spending on defense and infrastructure . The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and Moody 's Analytics reported in 2016 that enacting these policies would dramatically increase the annual budget deficits and national debt over the 2017 -- 2026 periods , relative to the current policy baseline , which already includes a sizable debt increase .
