It should be noted, however, that while a study on senescent cell ablation in genetically normal mice would provide at least some evidence on the effect of senescent cells (and their ablation) on promoting cancer, even such a study would likely show less effect than could be anticipated in a large mammal model, since even normally - aging mice rarely suffer metastatic disease to the extent of aging humans, as sheer primary tumor volume is generally sufficient to be fatal to mice.

Other indicators of adiposity, such as body fat, also have been examined for mortality associations.26, 27 However, the independent association between body fat and mortality in the older population has not been adequately demonstrated.14, 27 Researchers speculate that the controversial association between adiposity and mortality in older individuals may be attributable to selective survival, cohort effects, or unadjusted confounding.41 We found that BMI or waist circumference, but not percent body fat, predicted overall mortality in adults at least 60 years old.

The visuals of the island and its «3D» effects are reminiscent of games such as Street Racer or the original Mario Kart and I mean that literally — there's no modern - day polish or 3D polygons in use (at least from what I could see), just good old 16 - bit sprites in action.

As such, the effects workload wouldn't have been any higher than the average blockbuster — of course there would be heavy CGI elements, but probably far less than something like, say, Disney's other forthcoming tentpoles «John Carter» and «Oz: The Great and Powerful» — and the fantastical elements, at least in Elliot and Rossio's draft (Justin Haythe has since come on board to rewrite) aren't massively prominent, the film being more of a straight action Western.

Only molecules made of at least three atoms absorb heat radiation and thus only such trace gases makes the greenhouse effect, and among these CO2 is the second most important after water vapor.

and in the approximation that other sources of optical thickness and the Planck function don't vary much over the width of the CO2 band so — or their combination of variations is such — that the baseline spectral flux for no CO2 as well as the value at any given optical thickness from CO2 is approximatly constant over wavlength — or else so that the baseline and other levels of spectral flux for a given additional optical thickness, or at least the differences among them, vary over the band is such that as the band widens, decreasing effect on one side is balanced by increasing effect on the other — but for now I'll just use the simplification of a constant baseline and additional optical thickness effect on spectral flux over the width of the band:

These bottom - up pressures would likely render such an agreement a dead letter, or at least make it in effect a tax applicable only to the law - abiding developed countries that represent an ever - shrinking share of global carbon emissions.

In a sharp change from its cautious approach in the past, the National Academy of Sciences on Wednesday called for taxes on carbon emissions, a cap - and - trade program for such emissions or some other strong action to curb runaway global warming.Such actions, which would increase the cost of using coal and petroleum — at least in the immediate future — are necessary because «climate change is occurring, the Earth is warming... concentrations of carbon dioxide are increasing, and there are very clear fingerprints that link [those effects] to humans,» said Pamela A. Matson of Stanford University, who chaired one of five panels organized by the academy at the request of Congress to look at the science of climate change and how the nation should respond.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

If we're going to examine such short periods of data, we at least must filter out the effects which cause short - term noise.

One answer is (at least) 500 rather than 5 simulations so that such «outliers» have less effect, but presumably prohibitive to do.

Thus the tree rings frequently contain a low frequency signal that is unrelated to climate or, at least, confounded with climatic effects such as temperature.

While such «tipping points» (Kemp, 2005) are impossible to identify without substantial uncertainties, they may lead to irreversible effects such as biodiversity loss or, at the very least, impacts that have a slow recovery (e.g., on soils and corals).

The effect was to let the public be deluded about such things, by those who hoped that the public would rise up and demand politicial action, while the climate scientists could comfortably sit back, let the wild claims appear to be part of their famously «settled» science, knowing that if the «predictions» failed, they could point to their refereed journal papers that made no such explicit claims, or at least none with claimed certainty, thus achieving sensational scare stories but with plausible deniability.

They did not, the Met Office now accepts, take sufficient account of «natural variability» — the effects of phenomena such as ocean temperature cycles — which at least for now are counteracting greenhouse gas warming.
