 Understanding Atmospheric CO2 Concentration Increase Effects
The impact of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations from pre-industrial levels has been extensively studied within scientific communities. When considering solely the effect of doubled CO2 without accounting for additional external influences or feedback mechanisms, estimates suggest a probable temperature rise ranging approximately from 0.3°C up to 1.1°C. Such findings underscore how critical baseline conditions were prior to significant anthropogenic interference; they reveal insights into potential outcomes under controlled scenarios where only CO2 levels fluctuate dramatically.
This narrow focus helps isolate variables contributing to overall climate dynamics, allowing researchers to better grasp direct consequences tied exclusively to enhanced greenhouse effects triggered predominantly through elevated CO2 presence. However complex interactions involving multiple drivers necessitate comprehensive assessments beyond isolated cases highlighting singular causal relationships.

In mathematics , a rate is the ratio between two related quantities . If the denominator of the ratio is expressed as a single unit of one of these quantities , and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically ( i.e. , is an independent variable ) , then the numerator of the ratio expresses the corresponding rate of change in the other ( dependent ) variable .   The most common type of rate is `` per unit of time '' , such as speed , heart rate and flux . Ratios that have a non-time denominator include exchange rates , literacy rates and electric field ( in volts/meter ) .   In describing the units of a rate , the word `` per '' is used to separate the units of the two measurements used to calculate the rate ( for example a heart rate is expressed `` beats per minute '' ) . A rate defined using two numbers of the same units ( such as tax rates ) or counts ( such as literacy rate ) will result in a dimensionless quantity , which can be expressed as a percentage ( for example , the global literacy rate in 1998 was 80 % ) or fraction or as a multiple .   Often rate is a synonym of rhythm or frequency , a count per second ( i.e. , Hertz ) ; e.g. , radio frequencies or heart rate or sample rate .

Diathermancy ( from `` dia '' through and `` thermē '' heat ) is the property of some fluids that allows rays of light through them without itself being heated . A diathermanous fluid is thus `` permeable '' by heat . ) . Diathermany was first described by German physicist and chemist Heinrich Magnus in the 1800s . Atmospheric air is diathermanous ; therefore , air is not heated by sunshine , but by long wave heat reflected by soil , and especially , water on the Earth surface . Water , on the contrary , is not diathermanous , and it is heated by sunshine directly .

Diffusion hardening is a process used in manufacturing that increases the hardness of steels . In diffusion hardening , diffusion occurs between a steel with a low carbon content and a carbon-rich environment to increase the carbon content of the steel and ultimately harden the workpiece . Diffusion only happens through a small thickness of a piece of steel ( about 2.5 μm to 1.5 mm ) , so only the surface is hardened while the core maintains its original mechanical properties . Heat treating may be performed on a diffusion hardened part to increase the hardness of the core as desired , but in most cases in which diffusion hardening is performed , it is desirable to have parts with a hard outer shell and a more ductile inside . Heat treating and quenching is a more efficient process if hardness is desired throughout the whole part . In the case of manufacturing parts subject to large amounts of wear , such as gears , the non-uniform properties acquired through diffusion hardening are desired . Through this process , gears obtain a hard wear-resistant outer shell but maintain their softer and more impact-resistant core .

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

An R Coronae Borealis variable ( abbreviated RCB , RCrB ) is an eruptive variable star that varies in luminosity in two modes , one low amplitude pulsation ( a few tenths of a magnitude ) , and one irregular unpredictably sudden fading by 1 to 9 magnitudes . The prototype star R Coronae Borealis was discovered by the English amateur astronomer Edward Pigott in 1795 , who first observed the enigmatic fadings of the star . Since then , only about 100 RCB variables have been identified , making this class a very rare kind of star .   The fading is caused by condensation of carbon to soot , making the star fade in visible light while measurements in infrared light exhibit no real luminosity decrease . R Coronae Borealis variables are typically supergiant stars in the spectral classes F and G ( by convention called `` yellow '' ) , with typical C2 and CN molecular bands , characteristic of yellow supergiants . RCB star atmospheres do however lack hydrogen by an abundance of 1 part per 1,000 down to 1 part per 1,000,000 relative to helium and other chemical elements , while the universal abundance of hydrogen is about 3 to 1 relative to helium .

Fuel made of residues as CO2 produced by using a primary fuel .   For example , CO2 pollution in the atmosphere , produced by petrol burning or other sources , can be extracted to produce fuel through an artificial photosynthesis based in nanotechnology , which helps to mitigate pollution , climate change and energy issues .

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 .

Question:
 Increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by twice its pre-industrial levels, without considering additional factors or responses, could potentially result in an increase of temperature ranging between approximately 0.3°C to 1.1°C.
```

 Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration Increase: Impacts on Temperature
The ongoing surge in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, predominantly triggered by human activities since the Industrial Revolution, significantly influences Earth’s thermal equilibrium. Scientific consensus suggests that doubling the pre-industrial baseline (~280 ppm) could instigate additional planetary heating within a range of approximately 0.3°C to 1.1°C under conditions devoid of compensatory mechanisms or external variables. Such estimations hinge upon comprehensive understanding derived from sophisticated climate models and empirical data spanning multiple disciplines.

This projected warming trend emerges against a backdrop where historical trends already reveal substantial alterations in various facets of earth's environment. From pronounced shifts in glacial dynamics to observable modifications in seasonal cycles across diverse ecosystems, the repercussions of enhanced greenhouse effect permeate through intricate webs connecting terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric realms alike. Moreover, contemporary research underscores how incremental increases might disproportionately affect certain regions—particularly those characterized by high latitudes—owing to complex interactions involving albedo feedback loops amongst others.

In light of escalating concerns regarding sustainability and ecological balance, concerted efforts aimed at curbing emissions while simultaneously fostering resilience become imperative. Mitigation strategies encompass both technological innovations geared towards decarbonizing energy sectors alongside behavioral adjustments promoting conservationist mindsets. Adaptation measures necessitate proactive planning to safeguard vulnerable communities against intensifying hazards linked to erratic weather patterns, coastal inundation risks, and altered agricultural productivity landscapes.

Recognizing the urgency encapsulated within these challenges, international frameworks such as the Paris Agreement underscore collective commitments towards limiting global mean temperatures rises substantially below previous benchmarks. Achieving ambitious targets requires unwavering dedication coupled with collaborative action transcending geopolitical boundaries—a testament to humanity's capacity for addressing shared adversities when galvanized into unified response paradigms.

Public awareness surrounding climate issues continues expanding amidst growing recognition of intergenerational equity imperatives. Surveys indicate widespread apprehension concerning ramifications emanating from unchecked GHG proliferation, albeit perceptions exhibit geographical variability reflecting differential exposure realities. Nonetheless, mounting advocacy movements signal burgeoning demand for transformative policy interventions capable of steering societies onto sustainable development pathways conducive to mitigating adverse outcomes whilst preserving foundational elements essential for thriving biospheric health.

Daycent is a daily time series biogeochemical model used in agroecosystems to simulates fluxes of carbon and nitrogen between the atmosphere , vegetation , and soil . It is a daily version of the CENTURY biogeochemical model .   The United States Environmental Protection Agency , United States Department of Agriculture/ARS and the Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Lab are currently using the Daycent model to develop a national inventory of N2O emissions from U.S. agricultural soils . This inventory will be compared and contrasted with the existing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) agricultural N2O emissions inventory for the United States . Having more accurate data to account for nutrient cycling could have significant implications for public policy associated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) and potential future mitigation efforts in the United States .   Model inputs include daily maximum/minimum air temperature and precipitation , surface soil texture class , and land cover/use data . Model outputs include daily fluxes of various N-gas species ( e.g. , N2O , NOx , N2 ) ; daily CO2 flux from heterotrophic soil respiration ; soil organic C and N ; net primary productivity ; daily water and nitrate ( NO3 ) leaching , and other ecosystem parameters . Daycent has been tested with data from various native and managed systems . In similar studies , comparisons between Daycent simulated data and measured values for annual crop yields , N2O emissions , and NO3 leaching produced r2 values of 0.72 , 0.68 , and 0.61 respectively .   Other models used for simulating carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agricultural systems include   DNDC  EPIC

Trichlorotrifluoroethane , also called 1,1,2-Trichloro-1 ,2,2 - trifluoroethane or CFC-113 is a chlorofluorocarbon . It has the formula Cl2FC-CClF2 . This colorless gas is a versatile solvent . It has attracted much attention for its role in the depletion of stratospheric ozone . The amount of CFC-113 in the atmosphere has remained at about 80 parts per trillion , since the early 1990s . It is isomeric with 1,1,1-Trichloro-2 ,2,2 - trifluoroethane , known as CFC-113a , which has the structural formula CF3-CCl3 . The Montreal Protocol in 1987 called for the phase out of all CFC 's , including CFC-113 by 2010 .

In physics , the Rayleigh -- Jeans Law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments . For wavelength , it is :   where is the spectral radiance ; the power emitted per unit emitting area , per steradian , per unit wavelength , is the speed of light , is the Boltzmann constant and is the temperature in kelvins . For frequency , the expression is instead   The Rayleigh -- Jeans law agrees with experimental results at large wavelengths ( low frequencies ) but strongly disagrees at short wavelengths ( high frequencies ) . This inconsistency between observations and the predictions of classical physics is commonly known as the ultraviolet catastrophe , and its resolution was a foundational aspect of the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century .

A reagent -LSB- riˈeɪdʒənt -RSB- is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction , or added to test if a reaction occurs . The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably -- however , a reactant is more specifically a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction . Solvents , though involved in the reaction , are usually not called reactants . Similarly , catalysts are not consumed by the reaction , so they are not reactants . In biochemistry , especially in connection with enzyme-catalyzed reactions , the reactants are commonly called substrates .   In organic chemistry , the term `` reagent '' denotes a chemical ingredient ( a compound or mixture , typically of inorganic or small organic molecules ) introduced to cause a desired transformation of an organic substance . Examples include the Collins reagent , Fenton 's reagent , and Grignard reagents . In analytical chemistry , a reagent is a compound or mixture used to detect the presence or absence of another substance , e.g. by a color change , or to measure concentration of a substance , e.g. by colorimetry . Examples include Fehling 's reagent , Millon 's reagent , and Tollens ' reagent .   In commercial or laboratory preparations , reagent-grade designates chemical substances meeting standards of purity that ensure the scientific precision and reliability of chemical analysis , chemical reactions or physical testing . Purity standards for reagents are set by organizations such as ASTM International or the American Chemical Society . For instance , reagent-quality water must have very low levels of impurities such as sodium and chloride ions , silica , and bacteria , as well as a very high electrical resistivity . Laboratory products which are less pure , but still useful and economical for undemanding work , may be designated as technical , practical , or crude grade to distinguish them from reagent versions .   In the field of biology , the biotechnology revolution in the 1980s grew from the development of reagents that could be used to identify and manipulate the chemical matter in and on cells . These reagents included antibodies ( polyclonal and monoclonal ) , oligomers , all sorts of model organisms and immortalised cell lines , reagents and methods for molecular cloning and DNA replication , and many others .   Tool compounds are also important reagents in biology ; they are small molecules or biochemicals like siRNA or antibodies that are known to affect a given biomolecule -- for example a drug target -- but are unlikely to be useful as drugs themselves , and are often starting points in the drug discovery process . Many natural products , such as curcumin , are hits in almost any assay in which they are tested , are not useful tool compounds , and are classified by medicinal chemists as `` pan-assay interference compounds '' .

Landfill gas is a complex mix of different gases created by the action of microorganisms within a landfill . Landfill gas is approximately forty to sixty percent methane , with the remainder being mostly carbon dioxide . Trace amounts of other volatile organic compounds comprise the remainder ( < 1 % ) . These trace gases include a large array of species , mainly simple hydrocarbons .   Landfill gases have an influence on climate change . The major components are CO2 and methane , both of which are greenhouse gas . In terms of global warming potential , methane is over 25 times more detrimental to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide . Landfills are the third largest source of methane in the US .

DePriester Charts provide an efficient method to find the vapor-liquid equilibrium ratios for different substances at different conditions of pressure and temperature . The original chart was put forth by C.L. DePriester in an article in Chemical Engineering Progress in 1953 . These nomograms have two vertical coordinates , one for pressure , and another for temperature . `` K '' values , representing the tendency of a given chemical species to partition itself preferentially between liquid and vapor phases , are plotted in between . Many DePriester charts have been printed for simple hydrocarbons .

The term dilution assay is generally used to designate a special type of bioassay in which one or more preparations ( e.g. a drug ) are administered to experimental units at different dose levels inducing a measurable biological response . The dose levels are prepared by dilution in a diluent that is inert in respect of the response . The experimental units can for example be cell-cultures , tissues , organs or living animals . The biological response may be quantal ( e.g. positive/negative ) or quantitative ( e.g. growth ) . The goal is to relate the response to the dose , usually by interpolation techniques , and in many cases to express the potency/activity of the test preparation ( s ) relative to a standard of known potency/activity .   Dilution assays can be direct or indirect . In a direct dilution assay the amount of dose needed to produce a specific ( fixed ) response is measured , so that the dose is a stochastic variable defining the tolerance distribution . Conversely , in an indirect dilution assay the dose levels are administered at fixed dose levels , so that the response is a stochastic variable .

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 .

Diabetes mellitus type 1 ( also known as type 1 diabetes ) is a form of diabetes mellitus in which not enough insulin is produced . This results in high blood sugar levels in the body . The classical symptoms are frequent urination , increased thirst , increased hunger , and weight loss . Additional symptoms may include blurry vision , feeling tired , and poor healing . Symptoms typically develop over a short period of time .   The cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown . However , it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors . Risk factors include having a family member with the condition . The underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas . Diabetes is diagnosed by testing the level of sugar or A1C in the blood . Type 1 diabetes can be distinguished from type 2 by testing for the presence of autoantibodies .   There is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes . Treatment with insulin is typically required for survival . Insulin therapy is usually given by injection just under the skin but can also be delivered by an insulin pump . A diabetic diet and exercise are an important part of management . Untreated , diabetes can cause many complications . Complications of relatively rapid onset include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma . Long-term complications include heart disease , stroke , kidney failure , foot ulcers and damage to the eyes . Furthermore , complications may arise from low blood sugar caused by excessive dosing of insulin .   Type 1 diabetes makes up an estimated 5 -- 10 % of all diabetes cases . The number of people affected globally is unknown , although it is estimated that about 80,000 children develop the disease each year . Within the United States the number of people affected is estimated at one to three million . Rates of disease vary widely with approximately 1 new case per 100,000 per year in East Asia and Latin America and around 30 new cases per 100,000 per year in Scandinavia and Kuwait . It typically begins in children and young adults .

Question: Over the last hundred years, anthropogenic activities have contributed in excess of one hundred percent to the observed increase in Earth's temperature. This statement highlights that not only has human activity been responsible for all recorded climate change but also suggests we've surpassed natural variability levels significantly enough so as to exacerbate current environmental issues beyond what would typically occur without our interference.

 Anthropogenic Influence on Climate Change
Anthropogenic influence accounts for well beyond 100% of observed warming trends since the Industrial Revolution began. Scientific consensus attributes escalating temperatures predominantly to human activities—chiefly burning fossil fuels—which release vast quantities of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gasses into the atmosphere.

In response to mounting evidence linking human action to climate instability, nations convened to draft the landmark Kyoto Protocol—an extension of the foundational 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Adopted during the pivotal conference in Kyoto, Japan, on December 11th, 1997, the agreement legally binds participating countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions. By February 16th, 2005, the Protocol had garnered ratification from 192 signatories (excluding Canada post-December 2012), collectively committing themselves to mitigate the effects of global warming through emission reductions.

Grounded upon two core premises—the existence of global warming and humanity’s culpability therein—the Kyoto Protocol aims to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration "at a level where no perilous human intervention disrupts earth's climate systems" (Article 2). Underpinning this mission lies the doctrine of shared yet distinct obligations: Developed nations shoulder greater responsibility given historical contributions to atmospheric pollutants.

Initially spanning eight years—from 2008 until 2012—the initial commitment phase saw active participation from numerous entities. Following deliberations culminating in Qatar, representatives endorsed the Doha Amendment in 2012; thus initiating another cycle wherein thirty-seven participants pledged renewed dedication. Amongst these standouts included Australia alongside members constituting Europe's Economic Area plus additional sovereign states viz., Belarus, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland & Ukraine.

However, several high-profile defections marred subsequent rounds. Notably absent amongst returning contenders were Japan, New Zealand, Russia, who opted-out following preliminary engagements. Moreover, Canada formally renounced affiliation whilst America remained conspicuously aloof having never ratified said accord initially. Consequently, only seven jurisdictions within aforementioned cohort proceeded formalizing acceptance up till mid-July 2016 - far short requisite threshold stipulating endorsement across minimum quota comprising hundred forty-four state actors.

The largest organisms found on Earth can be determined according to various aspects of an organism 's size , such as : mass , volume , area , length , height , or even genome size . Some organisms group together to form a superorganism ( such as ants or bees ) , but such are not classed as single large organisms . The Great Barrier Reef is the world 's largest structure composed of living entities , stretching 2,000 km , but contains many organisms of many types of species .   This article lists the largest species for various types of organisms , and mostly considers extant species . The organism sizes listed are frequently considered `` outsized '' and are not in the normal size range for the respective group .   If considered singular entities , the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas . Pando , a clonal colony of the aspen tree , is widely considered to be the largest such organism by mass . Even if such colonies are excluded , trees retain their dominance of this listing , with the giant sequoia being the most massive tree .   Among animals , the largest species are all marine mammals , specifically whales . The blue whale is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived . The largest land animal classification is also dominated by mammals , with the African bush elephant being the most massive of these .

Rapid modes of evolution have been proposed by several notable biologists after Charles Darwin proposed his theory of evolutionary descent by natural selection . In his book On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) , Darwin stressed the gradual nature of descent , writing :   It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing , throughout the world , every variation , even the slightest ; rejecting that which is bad , preserving and adding up all that is good ; silently and insensibly working , whenever and wherever opportunity offers , at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life . We see nothing of these slow changes in progress , until the hand of time has marked the long lapses of ages , and then so imperfect is our view into long past geological ages , that we only see that the forms of life are now different from what they formerly were . ( 1859 )

10 Ways to End the World ( original title Mänsklighetens sista dagar , literally `` The Final Days of Humanity '' ) is a TV series documenting catastrophes that could endanger human existence . The series is produced by Sveriges Utbildningsradio ( UR ) and was aired on Kunskapskanalen ( in English : The Knowledge Channel ) in December 2010 under the Swedish name Mänsklighetens sista dagar ( Last days of Man ) and on National Geographic and Arte in 2012 . The series was nominated for the Scandinavian TV award , Kristallen in 2011 .   In the form of a top ten list , a set of doomsday scenarios -- disasters that have the capacity to wipe out our species -- is examined scientifically . The first part deals with threats to humanity from nature 's violent forces . The second part deals with various threats that human society has created .

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill ( also referred to as the BP oil spill , the BP oil disaster , the Gulf of Mexico oil spill , and the Macondo blowout ) began on April 20 , 2010 , in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect . Killing eleven people , it is considered the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry and estimated to be 8 % to 31 % larger in volume than the previous largest , the Ixtoc I oil spill . The US Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 Moilbbl . After several failed efforts to contain the flow , the well was declared sealed on September 19 , 2010 . Reports in early 2012 indicated the well site was still leaking .   A massive response ensued to protect beaches , wetlands and estuaries from the spreading oil utilizing skimmer ships , floating booms , controlled burns and 1.84 e6USgal of Corexit oil dispersant . Due to the months-long spill , along with adverse effects from the response and cleanup activities , extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats and fishing and tourism industries was reported . In Louisiana , 4900000 lb of oily material was removed from the beaches in 2013 , over double the amount collected in 2012 . Oil cleanup crews worked four days a week on 55 mi of Louisiana shoreline throughout 2013 . Oil continued to be found as far from the Macondo site as the waters off the Florida Panhandle and Tampa Bay , where scientists said the oil and dispersant mixture is embedded in the sand . In 2013 it was reported that dolphins and other marine life continued to die in record numbers with infant dolphins dying at six times the normal rate . One study released in 2014 reported that tuna and amberjack that were exposed to oil from the spill developed deformities of the heart and other organs that would be expected to be fatal or at least life-shortening and another study found that cardiotoxicity might have been widespread in animal life exposed to the spill .   Numerous investigations explored the causes of the explosion and record-setting spill . Notably , the U.S. government 's September 2011 report pointed to defective cement on the well , faulting mostly BP , but also rig operator Transocean and contractor Halliburton . Earlier in 2011 , a White House commission likewise blamed BP and its partners for a series of cost-cutting decisions and an inadequate safety system , but also concluded that the spill resulted from `` systemic '' root causes and `` absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies , might well recur '' .   In November 2012 , BP and the United States Department of Justice settled federal criminal charges with BP pleading guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter , two misdemeanors , and a felony count of lying to Congress . BP also agreed to four years of government monitoring of its safety practices and ethics , and the Environmental Protection Agency announced that BP would be temporarily banned from new contracts with the US government . BP and the Department of Justice agreed to a record-setting $ 4.525 billion in fines and other payments . As of February 2013 , criminal and civil settlements and payments to a trust fund had cost the company $ 42.2 billion .   In September 2014 , a U.S. District Court judge ruled that BP was primarily responsible for the oil spill because of its gross negligence and reckless conduct .   In July 2015 , BP agreed to pay $ 18.7 billion in fines , the largest corporate settlement in U.S. history .

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals . Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure . These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms : violent movements , uncontrolled excitement , fear of water , an inability to move parts of the body , confusion , and loss of consciousness . Once symptoms appear , the result is nearly always death . The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months ; however , this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year . The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system .   Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses , including the rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus . Rabies is spread when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human . Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the eyes , mouth , or nose . Globally , dogs are the most common animal involved . More than 99 % of rabies cases in countries where dogs commonly have the disease are caused by dog bites . In the Americas , bat bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans , and less than 5 % of cases are from dogs . Rodents are very rarely infected with rabies . The rabies virus travels to the brain by following the peripheral nerves . The disease can only be diagnosed after the start of symptoms .   Animal control and vaccination programs have decreased the risk of rabies from dogs in a number of regions of the world . Immunizing people before they are exposed is recommended for those who are at high risk . The high-risk group includes people who work with bats or who spend prolonged periods in areas of the world where rabies is common . In people who have been exposed to rabies , the rabies vaccine and sometimes rabies immunoglobulin are effective in preventing the disease if the person receives the treatment before the start of rabies symptoms . Washing bites and scratches for 15 minutes with soap and water , povidone iodine , or detergent may reduce the number of viral particles and may be somewhat effective at preventing transmission . Only five people have survived a rabies infection after showing symptoms , and this was with extensive treatment known as the Milwaukee protocol .   Rabies caused about 17,400 deaths worldwide in 2015 . More than 95 % of human deaths caused by rabies occur in Africa and Asia . About 40 % of deaths occur in children under the age of 15 . Rabies is present in more than 150 countries and on all continents but Antarctica . More than 3 billion people live in regions of the world where rabies occurs . A number of countries , including Australia and Japan , as well as much of Western Europe , do not have rabies among dogs . Many small island nations do not have rabies at all . It is classified as a neglected tropical disease .


Question: Over the last hundred years, anthropogenic activities have contributed in excess of one hundred percent to the observed increase in Earth's temperature. This highlights that factors other than natural climate variability play an even greater role in recent warming trends.

 Anthropogenic Contributions to Climate Change
The overwhelming majority of evidence points to human activities being responsible for more than 100 percent of observed global warming since the Industrial Revolution. This conclusion emerges clearly through extensive research conducted by leading climate experts around the world. Peer-reviewed publications consistently affirm that burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agricultural practices significantly contribute to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—which trap heat and lead to planetary warming. Despite some dissenting voices, rigorous scrutiny reveals that alternative explanations do not hold up under critical examination, reinforcing confidence in humanity’s pivotal role in recent climate trends.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, and thematic focus while rephrasing content related to both the claim about human-caused climate change exceeding natural variability and supporting documentation emphasizing expert agreement within relevant fields. Additionally, it avoids direct repetition of specific phrases found in your original examples but retains equivalent meaning throughout its entirety.

In engineering and science , dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their fundamental dimensions ( such as length , mass , time , and electric charge ) and units of measure ( such as miles vs. kilometers , or pounds vs. kilograms vs. grams ) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed . Converting from one dimensional unit to another is often somewhat complex . Dimensional analysis , or more specifically the factor-label method , also known as the unit-factor method , is a widely used technique for such conversions using the rules of algebra .   The concept of physical dimension was introduced by Joseph Fourier in 1822 . Physical quantities that are measurable ( commensurable ) have the same dimension ( length , time , mass ) and can be directly compared to each other , even if they are originally expressed in differing units of measure ( inches and meters , pounds and newtons ) . If physical quantities have different dimensions ( length verses mass ) , they can not be compared by similar units ( are incommensurable ) and can not be compared in quantity . Hence , it is meaningless to ask whether a kilogram is greater than , equal to , or less than an hour .   Any physically meaningful equation ( and likewise any inequality and inequation ) will have the same dimensions on their left and right sides , a property known as `` dimensional homogeneity '' . Checking for dimensional homogeneity is a common application of dimensional analysis . Dimensional analysis is also routinely used as a check of the plausibility of derived equations and computations . It is generally used to categorize types of physical quantities and units based on their relationship to or dependence on other units .

A lakh ( -LSB- ˈlæk -RSB- or -LSB- ˈlɑːk -RSB- abbreviated L ; sometimes written Lac or Lacs ) is a unit in the Indian numbering system equal to one hundred thousand ( 100,000 ; scientific notation : 105 ) .  In the Indian convention of digit grouping , it is written as 1,00,000 . For example , in India 150,000 rupees becomes 1.5 lakh rupees , written as 1,50,000 or INR 1,50,000 .   It is widely used both in official and other contexts in Bangladesh , India , Myanmar , Nepal , Pakistan , and Sri Lanka . It is often used in Indian , Pakistani , and Sri Lankan English . In Pakistan , the word lakh is used mostly in local languages rather than in English media .

Radiocarbon dating ( also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating ) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon , a radioactive isotope of carbon .   The method was developed by Willard Libby in the late 1940s and soon became a standard tool for archaeologists . Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in 1960 . The radiocarbon dating method is based on the fact that radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen . The resulting radiocarbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide , which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis ; animals then acquire by eating the plants . When the animal or plant dies , it stops exchanging carbon with its environment , and from that point onwards the amount of it contains begins to decrease as the undergoes radioactive decay . Measuring the amount of in a sample from a dead plant or animal such as a piece of wood or a fragment of bone provides information that can be used to calculate when the animal or plant died . The older a sample is , the less there is to be detected , and because the half-life of ( the period of time after which half of a given sample will have decayed ) is about 5,730 years , the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to around 50,000 years ago , although special preparation methods occasionally permit accurate analysis of older samples .   The idea behind radiocarbon dating is straightforward , but years of work were required to develop the technique to the point where accurate dates could be obtained . Research has been ongoing since the 1960s to determine what the proportion of in the atmosphere has been over the past fifty thousand years . The resulting data , in the form of a calibration curve , is now used to convert a given measurement of radiocarbon in a sample into an estimate of the sample 's calendar age . Other corrections must be made to account for the proportion of in different types of organisms ( fractionation ) , and the varying levels of throughout the biosphere ( reservoir effects ) . Additional complications come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil , and from the above-ground nuclear tests done in the 1950s and 1960s . Because the time it takes to convert biological materials to fossil fuels is substantially longer than the time it takes for its to decay below detectable levels , fossil fuels contain almost no , and as a result there was a noticeable drop in the proportion of in the atmosphere beginning in the late 19th century . Conversely , nuclear testing increased the amount of in the atmosphere , which attained a maximum in 1963 of almost twice what it had been before the testing began .   Measurement of radiocarbon was originally done by beta-counting devices , which counted the amount of beta radiation emitted by decaying atoms in a sample . More recently , accelerator mass spectrometry has become the method of choice ; it counts all the atoms in the sample and not just the few that happen to decay during the measurements ; it can therefore be used with much smaller samples ( as small as individual plant seeds ) , and gives results much more quickly . The development of radiocarbon dating has had a profound impact on archaeology . In addition to permitting more accurate dating within archaeological sites than previous methods , it allows comparison of dates of events across great distances . Histories of archaeology often refer to its impact as the `` radiocarbon revolution '' . Radiocarbon dating has allowed key transitions in prehistory to be dated , such as the end of the last ice age , and the beginning of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in different regions .

Demographics of the Philippines records the human population , including its population density , ethnicity , education level , health , economic status , religious affiliations , and other aspects . The Philippines annualised population growth rate between the years 2010-2015 was 1.72 % . According to the 2015 census , the population of the Philippines is 100,981,437 . The first census in the Philippines was held in the year 1591 which counted 667,612 persons , based on the number of tributes comprising an encomienda .   The majority of Filipinos are made up of various ethnolinguistic Austronesian groups , while the Aetas , as well as other highland groups form a minority . The indigenous population is related to the indigenous populations of the Malay Archipelago . Ethnic groups that have been in the Philippines for centuries before European and American colonial rule have assimilated , such as Japanese , Han Chinese and Indians form part of the population . Due to Spanish colonization , some Filipinos have Spanish and Latin American ancestry .   The most commonly spoken indigenous languages are Cebuano and Tagalog , each with more than 20 million native speakers . Another 11 indigenous languages have at least one million native speakers : Ilokano , Hiligaynon , Waray , northern , central and southern Bikol languages , Kapampangan , Pangasinan , Maranao , Maguindanao , Kinaray-a , Zamboangueño and Tausug . One or more of these are spoken as a mother tongue by more than 93 % of the population . Filipino and English are the official languages but there are between 120 and 170 distinct indigenous Philippine languages ( depending on expert classifications ) .

100 % English is a Channel 4 television programme shown in November 2006 in the United Kingdom . It looked at the genetic makeup of English people who considered themselves to be ethnically English and found that while all had an ethnic makeup similar to people of European descent , a minority discovered genetic markers from North Africa and the Middle East from several generations before they were born . The presenter was Andrew Graham-Dixon . The test results were interpreted by DNAPrint Genomics , based in Sarasota , Florida , United States .   The concept of the show was to :  Take eight people - all of whom are convinced they are 100 % English . Then submit a sample of their DNA to a series of state-of-the-art tests ... Lord Tebbit , Garry Bushell and Carol Thatcher are among the participants who have agreed to place their genetic make-up under the microscope ...   Garry Bushell , who appeared on the show , later criticised the slant of the programme and the portrayal of English people . On his website he stated : `` Only Nazis , and it appears C4 , think of national identity in terms of racial purity ... Besides , you could apply the same tests to the French or Italians and get similar results , but no-one questions their right to nationhood . ''

The Lancet , one of the oldest scientific medical journals in the world , published two peer-reviewed studies on the effect of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation on the Iraqi mortality rate . The first was published in 2004 ; the second ( by many of the same authors ) in 2006 . The studies estimate the number of excess deaths caused by the occupation , both direct ( combatants plus non-combatants ) and indirect ( due to increased lawlessness , degraded infrastructure , poor healthcare , etc. ) .   The first survey published on 29 October 2004 , estimated 98,000 excess Iraqi deaths ( with a range of 8,000 to 194,000 , using a 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) ) from the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq to that time , or about 50 % higher than the death rate prior to the invasion . The authors described this as a conservative estimate , because it excluded the extreme statistical outlier data from Fallujah . If the Fallujah cluster were included , the mortality estimate would increase to 150 % over pre-invasion rates ( 95 % CI : 1.6 to 4.2 ) .   The second survey published on 11 October 2006 , estimated 654,965 excess deaths related to the war , or 2.5 % of the population , through the end of June 2006 . The new study applied similar methods and involved surveys between May 20 and July 10 , 2006 . More households were surveyed , allowing for a 95 % confidence interval of 392,979 to 942,636 excess Iraqi deaths . 601,027 deaths ( range of 426,369 to 793,663 using a 95 % confidence interval ) were due to violence . 31 % ( 186,318 ) of those were attributed to the US-led Coalition , 24 % ( 144,246 ) to others , and 46 % ( 276,472 ) unknown . The causes of violent deaths were gunshot ( 56 % or 336,575 ) , car bomb ( 13 % or 78,133 ) , other explosion/ordnance ( 14 % ) , air strike ( 13 % or 78,133 ) , accident ( 2 % or 12,020 ) , and unknown ( 2 % ) .   The Lancet surveys are said to be controversial because the mortality figures are higher than in several other reports , including those of the Iraqi Health Ministry and the United Nations , as well as other household surveys such as the Iraq Living Conditions Survey and the Iraq Family Health Survey . The 2007 ORB survey of Iraq War casualties estimated more deaths than the Lancet , though it covered a longer period of the conflict . It has also been argued that the controversy results from an incompatibility between the survey results and the comparatively positive image various media outlets have of the invasion of Iraq . The Lancet surveys have triggered criticism and disbelief from some journalists , governments , the Iraq Body Count project , some epidemiologists and statisticians and others , but have also been supported by some journalists , governments , epidemiologists and statisticians .

More than 3000 empirical studies have examined relationships between religion and health , including more than 1200 in the 20th century , and more than 2000 additional studies between 2000 and 2009 .  Various other reviews of the religion/spirituality and health literature have been published . These include two reviews from an NIH-organized expert panel that appeared in a 4-article special section of American Psychologist .  Several chapters in edited academic books have also reviewed the empirical literature .  Having a religious belief may have both positive and negative impacts on health and morbidity .

As a means of recording the passage of time , the 14th century was the century lasting from January 1 , 1301 , to December 31 , 1400 . Political and natural disasters ravaged Europe , as well as the four khanates of the Mongol Empire . Consequently , the Mongol court was driven out of China and retreated to Mongolia , the Ilkhanate collapsed in Persia , the Chaghatayid dissolved into two parts , and the Golden Horde lost its position as great power in Eastern Europe .   In Europe , the Black Death claimed between 75 and 200 million lives , while England and France fought in the protracted Hundred Years ' War after the death of Charles IV , King of France led to a claim to the French throne by Edward III , King of England . This period is considered the height of chivalry and marks the beginning of strong separate identities for both England and France .

In physical cosmology and astronomy , dark energy is an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space , tending to accelerate the expansion of the universe . Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate .   Assuming that the standard model of cosmology is correct , the best current measurements indicate that dark energy contributes 68.3 % of the total energy in the present-day observable universe . The mass -- energy of dark matter and ordinary ( baryonic ) matter contribute 26.8 % and 4.9 % , respectively , and other components such as neutrinos and photons contribute a very small amount . The density of dark energy ( ~ 7 × 10 − 30 g/cm3 ) is very low , much less than the density of ordinary matter or dark matter within galaxies . However , it comes to dominate the mass -- energy of the universe because it is uniform across space .   Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant , representing a constant energy density filling space homogeneously , and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli , dynamic quantities whose energy density can vary in time and space . Contributions from scalar fields that are constant in space are usually also included in the cosmological constant . The cosmological constant can be formulated to be equivalent to the zero-point radiation of space i.e. the vacuum energy . Scalar fields that change in space can be difficult to distinguish from a cosmological constant because the change may be extremely slow .   High-precision measurements of the expansion of the universe are required to understand how the expansion rate changes over time and space . In general relativity , the evolution of the expansion rate is estimated from the curvature of the universe and the cosmological equation of state ( the relationship between temperature , pressure , and combined matter , energy , and vacuum energy density for any region of space ) . Measuring the equation of state for dark energy is one of the biggest efforts in observational cosmology today . Adding the cosmological constant to cosmology 's standard FLRW metric leads to the Lambda-CDM model , which has been referred to as the `` standard model of cosmology '' because of its precise agreement with observations .


Question: I cannot concur with the notion that CO2 emissions predominantly fuel the observed climate change trends globally.

 Reevaluating Carbon Dioxide’s Role in Climate Dynamics
While some argue against CO2 being a significant factor in observed global warming trends, overwhelming evidence supports its pivotal role. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have risen sharply since pre-industrial times, largely due to burning fossil fuels and deforestation practices. These increased levels trap more heat within earth's atmosphere through enhanced greenhouse effects leading directly to rising temperatures globally. Contrary views often cite natural variability but fail convincingly when compared alongside comprehensive datasets showing clear correlations between escalating CO² emission volumes & concurrent planetary heating phenomena. Despite skepticism among certain circles, mainstream science firmly establishes man-made CO₂ discharges as key drivers behind current climate shifts witnessed across ecosystems worldwide.

In optics , Lambert 's cosine law says that the radiant intensity or luminous intensity observed from an ideal diffusely reflecting surface or ideal diffuse radiator is directly proportional to the cosine of the angle θ between the direction of the incident light and the surface normal . The law is also known as the cosine emission law or Lambert 's emission law . It is named after Johann Heinrich Lambert , from his Photometria , published in 1760 .   A surface which obeys Lambert 's law is said to be Lambertian , and exhibits Lambertian reflectance . Such a surface has the same radiance when viewed from any angle . This means , for example , that to the human eye it has the same apparent brightness ( or luminance ) . It has the same radiance because , although the emitted power from a given area element is reduced by the cosine of the emission angle , the apparent size of the observed area ( = `` projected source area '' ) as seen by a viewer , is decreased by a corresponding amount . Or equivalent , a remote sensor with a constant solid viewing angle ( or `` aperture '' ) will perceive a larger source area with decreasing emission angles , but observe less emitted power per unit source area : these two effects compensate each other and hence the observed radiance is independent from emission angle . Therefore , its radiance ( power per unit solid angle per unit projected source area ) is the same .

A reactionless drive is a device producing motion without the exhaust of a propellant . A propellantless drive is not necessarily reactionless when it constitutes an open system interacting with external fields ; but a reactionless drive is a particular case of a propellantless drive as it is a closed system presumably in contradiction with the law of conservation of momentum and often considered similar to a perpetual motion machine . The name comes from Newton 's third law , which is usually expressed as , `` for every action , there is an equal and opposite reaction . '' A large number of infeasible devices , such as the Dean drive , are a staple of science fiction particularly for space propulsion . To date , no reactionless device has ever been validated under properly controlled conditions .

Laser safety is the safe design , use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents , especially those involving eye injuries . Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries , the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations .   Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina of the eye , or even the skin . To control the risk of injury , various specifications , for example 21 Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) Part 1040 in the US and IEC 60825 internationally , define `` classes '' of laser depending on their power and wavelength . These regulations impose upon manufacturers required safety measures , such as labeling lasers with specific warnings , and wearing laser safety goggles when operating lasers . Consensus standards , such as American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ) Z136 , provide users with control measures for laser hazards , as well as various tables helpful in calculating maximum permissible exposure ( MPE ) limits and accessible exposures limits ( AELs ) .

Dark matter is matter that is undetectable by its emitted radiation , but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects .  It is subdivided into different types of dark matter :  Cold dark matter  Warm dark matter  Hot dark matter  Mixed dark matter   Dark Matter ( s ) or Darkmatter may also refer to :

Radiometric calibration is a general term used in science and technology for any set of calibration techniques in support of the measurement of electromagnetic radiation and atomic particle radiation . These can be for instance , in the field of Radiometry or the measurement of ionising radiation radiated from a source .

A raw material , also known as a feedstock or most correctly unprocessed material , is a basic material that is used to produce goods , finished products , energy , or intermediate materials which are feedstock for future finished products . As feedstock , the term connotes these materials are bottleneck assets and are highly important with regards to producing other products . An example of this is crude oil , which is a raw material and a feedstock used in the production of industrial chemicals , fuels , plastics , and pharmaceutical goods ; lumber is a raw material used to produce a variety of products including furniture .   The term `` raw material '' denotes materials in minimally processed or unprocessed in states ; e.g. , raw latex , crude oil , cotton , coal , raw biomass , iron ore , air , logs , or seawater i.e. '' ... any product of agriculture , forestry , fishing and any other mineral that is in its natural form or which has undergone the transformation required to prepare it for internationally marketing in substantial volumes . ''   Africa has 30 % of global reserves of non-energy mineral raw materials but this wealth has had a negative impact upon African countries . This phenomenon , known as `` Dutch disease '' or the `` resource curse '' , occurs when the economy of a country is mainly based upon its exports due to its method of governance . An example of this is the `` geological scandal '' of the Democratic Republic of Congo as it is rich in raw materials ; the Second Congo War focused on controlling these raw materials .   Raw materials are also used by non-humans , such as birds using found objects and twigs to create nests .

Resurrection of the dead , or resurrection from the dead ( Koine : ἀνάστασις -LSB- τῶν -RSB- νεκρῶν , anastasis -LSB- ton -RSB- nekron ; literally : `` standing up again of the dead '' ; is a term frequently used in the New Testament and in the writings and doctrine and theology in other religions to describe an event by which a person , or people are resurrected ( brought back to life ) . In the New Testament of the Christian bible , the three common usages for this term pertain to ( 1 ) the Christ , rising from the dead ; ( 2 ) the rising from the dead of all men , at the end of this present age and ( 3 ) the resurrection of certain ones in history , who were restored to life . Predominantly in Christian eschatology , the term is used to support the belief that the dead will be brought back to life in connection with end times . Various other forms of this concept can also be found in other eschatologies , namely : Islamic , Jewish and Zoroastrian eschatology .

However , it comes to dominate the mass -- energy of the universe because it is uniform across space .   Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant , representing a constant energy density filling space homogeneously , and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli , dynamic quantities whose energy density can vary in time and space . Contributions from scalar fields that are constant in space are usually also included in the cosmological constant . The cosmological constant can be formulated to be equivalent to the zero-point radiation of space i.e. the vacuum energy . Scalar fields that change in space can be difficult to distinguish from a cosmological constant because the change may be extremely slow .   High-precision measurements of the expansion of the universe are required to understand how the expansion rate changes over time and space . In general relativity , the evolution of the expansion rate is estimated from the curvature of the universe and the cosmological equation of state ( the relationship between temperature , pressure , and combined matter , energy , and vacuum energy density for any region of space ) . Measuring the equation of state for dark energy is one of the biggest efforts in observational cosmology today . Adding the cosmological constant to cosmology 's standard FLRW metric leads to the Lambda-CDM model , which has been referred to as the `` standard model of cosmology '' because of its precise agreement with observations .


Question: It's my stance that CO2 emissions aren't chiefly responsible for the observed climate change trends globally.

 Carbon Dioxide: A Secondary Factor?
While some argue that carbon dioxide plays only a minor role in observed global warming trends, scientific consensus firmly positions CO2 as a significant factor. Atmospheric composition includes several key greenhouse gases—water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone—that collectively regulate Earth’s heat balance through absorption and emission of thermal infrared radiation. Prior to anthropogenic influence, Earth maintained an average surface temperature around 15°C; without these gases, temperatures might plummet to approximately -18°C.

Since pre-industrial times circa 1750, human actions have escalated atmospheric CO2 levels from roughly 280 parts per million (ppm) to nearly 406 ppm by 2017—a rise attributed largely to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas alongside deforestation practices. Despite nature's ability to absorb much of these emissions via "carbon sink" mechanisms involving oceans, forests, and soils, ongoing increases persistently challenge ecological stability.

Experts predict that unabated greenhouse gas emissions will likely push global mean temperatures beyond historic norms by mid-century, possibly triggering adverse impacts across ecosystems, biodiversity conservation areas, and socio-economic systems globally. Projections indicate crossing the critical 2°C warming mark—the boundary set by international agreements to mitigate severe consequences—as soon as 2036 under continued high-emission scenarios.

This perspective highlights how dismissing CO2's impact overlooks substantial evidence linking its accumulation to contemporary climate shifts. Addressing future risks requires acknowledging all contributing elements while pursuing mitigation strategies aimed at curbing emissions and enhancing resilience among vulnerable communities.

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

Responsibility is a novel by New Zealand author Nigel Cox , published by Victoria University Press in 2005 .   The novel is set in contemporary Berlin , and tells the story of an expatriate New Zealander who , whilst working as a consultant for German museums , becomes embroiled in criminal activity out of boredom . The novel is notable for combining noir and detective fiction clichés with comedy , as well as having a serious emotional centre .   Much of the book 's source material is drawn from Nigel Cox 's own experiences living in Berlin , and working at the Jewish Museum there , between 2000 and 2005 .

The ΛCDM ( Lambda cold dark matter ) or Lambda-CDM model is a parametrization of the Big Bang cosmological model in which the universe contains a cosmological constant , denoted by Lambda ( Greek Λ ) , associated with dark energy , and cold dark matter ( abbreviated CDM ) . It is frequently referred to as the standard model of Big Bang cosmology because it is the simplest model that provides a reasonably good account of the following properties of the cosmos :  the existence and structure of the cosmic microwave background  the large-scale structure in the distribution of galaxies  the abundances of hydrogen ( including deuterium ) , helium , and lithium  the accelerating expansion of the universe observed in the light from distant galaxies and supernovae   The model assumes that general relativity is the correct theory of gravity on cosmological scales .  It emerged in the late 1990s as a concordance cosmology , after a period of time when disparate observed properties of the universe appeared mutually inconsistent , and there was no consensus on the makeup of the energy density of the universe .   The ΛCDM model can be extended by adding cosmological inflation , quintessence and other elements that are current areas of speculation and research in cosmology .   Some alternative models challenge the assumptions of the ΛCDM model . Examples of these are modified Newtonian dynamics , modified gravity and theories of large-scale variations in the matter density of the universe .

A knockout ( abbreviated to KO or K.O. ) is a fight-ending , winning criterion in several full-contact combat sports , such as boxing , kickboxing , muay thai , mixed martial arts , karate , some forms of taekwondo and other sports involving striking . A full knockout is considered any legal strike or combination thereof that renders an opponent unable to continue fighting .   The term is often associated with a sudden traumatic loss of consciousness caused by a physical blow . Single powerful blows to the head ( particularly the jawline and temple ) can produce a cerebral concussion or a carotid sinus reflex with syncope and cause a sudden , dramatic KO . Body blows , particularly the liver punch , can cause progressive , debilitating pain that can also result in a KO .   In boxing and kickboxing , a knockout is usually awarded when one participant falls to the canvas and is unable to rise to their feet within a specified period of time , typically because of exhaustion , pain , disorientation , or unconsciousness . For example , if a boxer is knocked down and is unable to continue the fight within a ten-second count , they are counted as having been knocked out and their opponent is awarded the KO victory .   In mixed martial arts ( MMA ) competitions , no time count is given after a knockdown , as the sport allows submission grappling as well as ground and pound . If a fighter loses consciousness ( `` goes limp '' ) as a result of legal strikes it is declared a KO . Even if the fighter loses consciousness for a brief moment and wakes up again to continue to fight , the fight is stopped and declared a KO . As many MMA fights can take place on the mat rather than standing , it is possible to score a KO via ground and pound , a common victory for grapplers .

Radio frequency ( RF ) is any of the electromagnetic wave frequencies that lie in the range extending from around to , which include those frequencies used for communications or radar signals . RF usually refers to  electrical rather than mechanical oscillations . However , mechanical RF systems do exist ( see mechanical filter and RF MEMS ) .   Although radio frequency is a rate of oscillation , the term `` radio frequency '' or its abbreviation `` RF '' are used as a synonym for radio -- i.e. , to describe the use of wireless communication , as opposed to communication via electric wires . Examples include :  Radio-frequency identification  ISO/IEC 14443-2 Radio frequency power and signal interface

The RWI Essen , full German name RWI -- Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung , is a leading economic research institute in Essen , Germany .   The RWI has a non-profit status , it is part of the Leibniz Association , mainly publicly funded , but also receives third-party-fundings and employs 80 people .   It is a policy advocacy that is recognized for co-authoring the ` joint diagnosis on the German economy ' , while it is seen as industry friendly and is criticized for its personally entanglement with industry by sharing staff of board of administration with energy ( RWE ) , several insurance and financial cooperations and industry-funded think-tanks .

Rheology ( -LSB- riːˈɒlədʒi -RSB- from Greek ῥέω rhéō , `` flow '' and - λoγία , - logia , `` study of '' ) is the study of the flow of matter , primarily in a liquid state , but also as ` soft solids ' or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force .   The term rheology was coined by Eugene C. Bingham , a professor at Lafayette College , in 1920 , from a suggestion by a colleague , Markus Reiner . The term was inspired by the aphorism of Simplicius ( often attributed to Heraclitus ) , panta rhei , `` everything flows '' , and was first used to describe the flow of liquids and the deformation of solids .  It applies to substances that have a complex microstructure , such as muds , sludges , suspensions , polymers and other glass formers ( e.g. , silicates ) , as well as many foods and additives , bodily fluids ( e.g. , blood ) and other biological materials or other materials that belong to the class of soft matter such as food .   Newtonian fluids can be characterized by a single coefficient of viscosity for a specific temperature . Although this viscosity will change with temperature , it does not change with the strain rate . Only a small group of fluids exhibit such constant viscosity . The large class of fluids whose viscosity changes with the strain rate ( the relative flow velocity ) are called non-Newtonian fluids .   Rheology generally accounts for the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids , by characterizing the minimum number of functions that are needed to relate stresses with rate of change of strain or strain rates . For example , ketchup can have its viscosity reduced by shaking ( or other forms of mechanical agitation , where the relative movement of different layers in the material actually causes the reduction in viscosity ) but water can not . Ketchup is a shear thinning material , like yogurt and emulsion paint ( US terminology latex paint or acrylic paint ) , exhibiting thixotropy , where an increase in relative flow velocity will cause a reduction in viscosity , for example , by stirring . Some other non-Newtonian materials show the opposite behavior , rheopecty : viscosity going up with relative deformation , and are called shear thickening or dilatant materials . Since Sir Isaac Newton originated the concept of viscosity , the study of liquids with strain rate dependent viscosity is also often called Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics .   The experimental characterization of a material 's rheological behaviour is known as rheometry , although the term rheology is frequently used synonymously with rheometry , particularly by experimentalists . Theoretical aspects of rheology are the relation of the flow/deformation behaviour of material and its internal structure ( e.g. , the orientation and elongation of polymer molecules ) , and the flow/deformation behaviour of materials that can not be described by classical fluid mechanics or elasticity .

Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin , exposed objects in the morning or evening due to condensation . As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat , atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate , resulting in the formation of water droplets .   When temperatures are low enough , dew takes the form of ice ; this form is called frost .   Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces , in late summer it forms most easily on surfaces that are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground , such as grass , leaves , railings , car roofs , and bridges .   Dew should not be confused with guttation , which is the process by which plants release excess water from the tips of their leaves .

Deutschsprachige Mykologische Gesellschaft ( DMykG ) e.V. ( German-Speaking Mycological Society ) has been acknowledged as a non-profit organisation . The society was founded in 1961 as a platform for all scientists of the German-speaking area who are interested in mycology either from a medical or veterinary standpoint , i.e. medical mycology or veterinary mycology . To promote science and research is a prime concern . The society is based in the city of Essen .   The society currently has about 500 members and organises yearly meetings . These meetings are held for several days each year and are dubbed Myk . Working parties for `` clinical mycology '' as well as `` mycological laboratory diagnostics '' make major contributions to the work of the society . The scientific organ of the society publishes the internationally renowned journal Mycoses . Moreover , the society publishes a scientific magazine dubbed Mykologie Forum which is distributed 4 times a year in a circulation of about 5.000 issues to members as well as further interested groups of physicians . For those interested the society offers a mycology portal ( www.dmykg.de ) in the internet .   Mycological quality management forms a major part of the work of the society . In this context there is a focus on the preparation and updating of guidelines . Currently , the society provides under the canopy of Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Medizinisch-Wissenschaftlichen Fachgesellschaften ( AWMF ) 6 guidelines ( for the electronic version see www.awmf-leitlinien.de ) , namely „ tinea of glabrous skin `` , „ onychomycosis `` , „ vulvovaginal candidosis `` , „ cutaneous candidosis `` , `` oral candidosis '' , and `` tinea capitis '' . Just recently , English versions of the German language guidelines have started to be published in mycoses .   On international grounds Deutschsprachige Mykologische Gesellschaft cooperates with the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology ( ISHAM ) as well as the European Confederation of Medical Mycology ( ECMM ) .   Promotion of the career of younger mycologists is a major concern . In this context a prize for the promotion of mycological research dubbed Forschungsförderungspreis is offered yearly .   To provide a sound basis for the work of the society recently a corresponding foundation has been established , dubbed Stiftung der Deutschsprachigen Mykologische Gesellschaft e.V. .

Manfred Steger , professor of Global Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa argues that globalization has four main dimensions : economic , political , cultural , ecological , with ideological aspects of each category . David Held 's book Global Transformations is organized around the same dimensions , though the ecological is not listed in the title . This set of categories relates to the four-domain approach of circles of social life , and Circles of Sustainability .   Steger compares the current study of globalization to the ancient Buddhist parable of blind scholars and their first encounter with an elephant . Similar to the blind scholars , some globalization scholars are too focused on compacting globalization into a singular process and clashes over `` which aspect of social life constitutes its primary domain '' prevail .
