events in the past 100 - plus years, Credit Suisse's former head of research and deputy
global CIO Giles Keating and his team previously found that stocks generally bounced back after
such shocks.
While the potential for an explosive move upwards in those stocks remains a clear possibility because of the political and economic risks in the
global economy today, we can not predict — obviously — that

Yet, even with all increasing red flags that suggest that assets held within the
global banking system could be devalued, frozen, or seized, or all of the aforementioned, including warnings of possible negative interest rates applied to commercial and corporate bank accounts in the near future from big
global banks like the Royal Bank of Scotland, most of us go about our daily lives without giving a second thought about taking preventive actions to prevent
such mind - blowing and negatively impacting life - changing
events from happening.

global credit and financial markets, which may adversely affect our ability to borrow and could increase our counterparty credit risks, including those under our credit facilities, derivatives, contingent obligations, insurance contracts and new ship progress payment guarantees; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; overcapacity in key markets or globally; our inability to recruit or retain qualified personnel or the loss of key personnel; future changes relating to how external distribution channels sell and market our cruises; our reliance on third parties to provide hotel management services to certain ships and certain other services; delays in our shipbuilding program and ship repairs, maintenance and refurbishments; future increases in the price of, or major changes or reduction in, commercial airline services; seasonal variations in passenger fare rates and occupancy levels at different times of the year; our ability to keep pace with developments in technology; amendments to our collective bargaining agreements for crew members and other employee relation issues; the continued availability of attractive port destinations; pending or threatened litigation, investigations and enforcement actions; changes involving the tax and environmental regulatory regimes in which we operate; and other factors set forth under «Risk Factors» in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10 - K and subsequent filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I'm not sure what is meant by «
global loyalty» - perhaps it would become a virtue in the
event of invasion from other planets - but I am sure that
such jargon contributes little to understanding why so many thoughtful Americans are coming to a jaundiced view of the UN and other institutions created in support of an internationalism that is now unsupported by clear doctrine, or any doctrine at all.
These stories may or may not have been based on an
event,
such as the breach of the land barrier that kept the Black Sea below the level of the Mediterranean Sea or even the flooding of the north end of the Red Sea, but there is no evidence for a

A possible additional factor (although I don't know of any proof of
such theory aside from it making too much damned sense to not be true), the removal of Saddam and subsequent
events - had they not been FUBARED in execution - had a chance of strongly splitting Sunni vs Shia Islam politically on a
global scale, which would have been a very big benefit to USA geopolitically.
And the worst is yet to come: As the
global thermostat rises, extreme weather
events such as droughts and floods will become more frequent and intense in many regions, the United Nations warns.
Global warming is causing not only a general increase in temperatures, but also an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather
events,
such as flooding, heat waves and droughts.
In 2004, Peter Stott of the UK Met Office and colleagues found that
global warming had doubled the likelihood of
such an
event (Nature, doi.org/c7hxpt).
«Dangerous»
global warming includes consequences
such as increased risk of extreme weather and climate
events ranging from more intense heat waves, hurricanes, and floods, to prolonged droughts.
This is the third
such global bleaching
event in 17 years, NOAA notes.
«Substantial proportions literally say that they believe
global warming made specific extreme weather
events worse,
such as Harvey and Irma and Maria,
such as wildfires out West,
such as the extreme heat wave that grounded planes in Phoenix.»
The rapid
global warming
event, ~ 56 million years ago, known as the «Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum» or PETM has provided
such insights.
That's good news for our future, because if
such events were indeed
global, they would have catastrophic consequences
such as wiping out telecommunications and power grids worldwide.
Ultimately, we'd like to be able to reproduce the
global signatures of these abrupt climate
events with numerical models of the climate system, and investigate the physics that drive
such events.»
Such analyses, while useful, only paint a broad picture of snowfall's response to
global warming, and may miss specific
events, like a large blizzard that may occur over a day or two.
And Brakenridge points out another less immediate application: «We have to know how big a flood
event is and keep a
global record of
such events in order to determine if climate change is accompanied by changes in the frequency and magnitude of big floods.»
The major carbon producers data can be applied to climate models to derive the carbon input's effect on climate change impacts including
global average temperature, sea level rise, and extreme
events such as heat waves.
If proxy data can confirm that sea ice was indeed the major player in past abrupt climate - change
events, it seems less likely that
such dramatic abrupt changes will occur due to
global warming, when extensive sea - ice cover will not be present.
Just days later, a real - time analysis by scientists working with Climate Central's World Weather Attribution program has found that
global warming has boosted the odds of
such an extreme rainfall
event in the region by about 40 percent — a small, but clear, effect, the scientists say.
They found that although still a rare
event,
such heavy rainfall is now expected roughly once in 200 years while it would only have been a 1 in 350 year
event in a world without
global warming.
Indeed, the most recent IPCC report concluded that the sea - level rise contribution associated
such an
event «can not be precisely quantified,» but would contribute «several tenths of a meter» of
global average sea - level rise by 2100.
However, lacking
global observations of surface mass and ocean heat content capable of resolving year to year variations with sufficient accuracy, comprehensive diagnosis of the
events early in the altimetry record (e.g.
such as determining the relative roles of thermal expansion versus mass changes) has remained elusive.
Our ensemble fire weather season length metric captured important wildfire
events throughout Eurasia
such as the Indonesian fires of 1997 — 98 where peat fires, following an El Niño - induced drought, released carbon equivalent to 13 — 40 % of the
global fossil fuel emissions from only 1.4 % of the
global vegetated land area (Fig. 4, 1997 — 1998) 46 and the heatwave over Western Russia in 2010 (Fig. 4, 2010) that led to its worst fire season in recorded history and triggered extreme air pollution in Moscow51.

global coral bleaching
event due to climate change, and the discovery of more robust reefs in unusual place
such as the mouth of the Amazon River can greatly help researchers better understand which organisms can tolerate harsher conditions.
Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide do not only cause
global warming, but probably also trigger increased occurrences of extreme weather
events such as long - lasting droughts, heat - waves, heavy rainfall
events or extreme storms.
Human behavioral changes,
such as installing solar panels or investing in public transportation, alter greenhouse gas emissions, which change the
global temperature and thus the frequency of extreme
events, leading to new behaviors, and the cycle continues.
Those rapid
global warming
events were almost always highly destructive for life, causing mass extinctions
such as at the end of the Permian, Triassic, or even mid-Cambrian periods.
