Now, I'll give the readers here credit for catching the part where they flashed up on the screen a nice graphic stating that you COULD put an extra ice pack or two into the lunch and probably «decrease the risk,» but I think talking about how not even an ice pack, or refrigeration at many day cares, is enough to keep your child from possibly coming down with foodborne illness could be enough to make some less conscious parents throw up their hands in disgust and say «I give up.»

Intriguingly, that means water could potentially reach the surface from a deep crater, where there was less ice to get through — perhaps even from a crater like the one where Dawn saw the bright spot.

Whereas Pluto's putative ocean could in principle support life, it is probably locked beneath perhaps 200 kilometers of ice and very far from Earth, making it a much less appealing target for astrobiological studies than other, closer subsurface oceans known to exist in the solar system, such as those within the icy moons circling Jupiter and Saturn.

The code also exempts some ships from strengthening their hulls if they are operating in waters with shallow ice that is about a foot deep or less.

And at high global latitudes, cold lakes normally covered by ice in the winter are seeing less ice year after year — a change that could affect all parts of the food web, from algae to freshwater seals.

And it is clear that the main rings are very thin — less than 1 kilometre from one side to the other — and consist mainly of chunks of water ice typically 1 centimetre to 5 metres across,...

Conversely, when there is less Arctic sea ice, the ocean absorbs more heat from the sun, adding to global warming.

In another experiment, university students who were primed to feel anxious about future employment prospects removed their hand from an ice bucket more quickly (showing less pain tolerance) than those who were not.

Then at peak demand times, the ice or cold water is used to cool air for large office or industrial buildings, meaning they need much less power from the grid.

Another positive feedback of global warming is the albedo effect: less white summer ice means more dark open water, which absorbs more heat from the sun.

The argument is that the increased separation of the Antarctic land mass from South America led to the creation of the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current which acted as a kind of water barrier and effectively blocked the warmer, less salty waters from the North Atlantic and Central Pacific from moving southwards towards the Antarctic land mass leading to the isolation of the Antarctic land mass and lowered temperatures which allowed the ice sheets to form.

Of course, our study looks back in time and the future will be a very different place in terms of ice sheets and CO2 but it remains to be seen whether or not Earth's climate becomes more or less stable as we move forward from here.»

Because the blown - away material is primarily ice, this means that some large Kuiper belt objects could have been built from a small number of really big collisions among increasingly ice - depleted bodies, while others might have been formed from smaller, less powerful collisions that allowed more ice to remain.

The warming of the WAIS is most worrisome (at least for this century) because it's going to disintegrate long before the East Antarctic Ice Sheet does «'' since WAIS appears to be melting from underneath (i.e. the water is warming, too), and since, as I wrote in the «high water» part of my book, the WAIS is inherently less stable:

If these polar continents lose a mile or more of ice from their land surface, there will be less mass, and so some of the water now attracted to those polar land masses will dissipate, and go elsewhere.

But less than one percent of the gene sequences in the lake ice came from these sources.

Further information comes from proxies (ice cores, tree rings,...), which give (less exact) information about temperature and some of the primary actors of the past.

The global mean temperature rise of less than 1 degree C in the past century does not seem like much, but it is associated with a winter temperature rise of 3 to 4 degrees C over most of the Arctic in the past 20 years, unprecedented loss of ice from all the tropical glaciers, a decrease of 15 to 20 % in late summer sea ice extent, rising sealevel, and a host of other measured signs of anomalous and rapid climate change.

Periods of volcanism can cool the climate (as with the 1991 Pinatubo eruption), methane emissions from increased biological activity can warm the climate, and slight changes in solar output and orbital variations can all have climate effects which are much shorter in duration than the ice age cycles, ranging from less than a decade to a thousand years in duration (the Younger Dryas).
