Not exact matches

Today asset managers are more likely to screen out tobacco, weapons or fossil fuel companies, or companies with poor human rights records.

This view holds that the entire cosmos is around 6,000 years old, that the fossil record was laid down almost in its entirety during a literal, global worldwide flood, that God created humans directly out of dust, and that Adam and Eve are the progenitors of the entire human race.

Again and again, Wright asserts that there is no fossil evidence of intermediate forms between earlier primates and human beings; and, again and again, Dawkins attempts to disabuse her of this vacuous «mantra» (as he calls it) by pointing out that there certainly is such evidence and by directing her to it, but all to no avail.

Though «human evolution» is a theory, considering the fossils and evidence of proto - human beings, it is far more likely that we evolved from a lesser developed ancestor than it is that we were made out of dirt by a supernatural deity.

When we clear forests, we're not only knocking out our best ally in capturing the staggering amount of GHGs we humans create (which we do primarily by burning fossil fuels at energy facilities, and of course, in cars, planes, and trains).

The scientists detected some evidence of fossil insect DNA in amber samples, but they couldn't rule out contamination by microbial or human DNA.

Yet the unassuming fossil made it out of Denisova Cave in Siberia's Altai Mountains and into the Max Planck Institute's ancient DNA laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, where in 2010 it yielded a complete genome of a previously unknown type of human.

Several recent archaeological and fossil discoveries in Asia are also pushing back the first appearance of modern humans in the region and, by implication, the migration out of Africa.

Several dating techniques applied to archaeological materials and the fossil itself suggest the jawbone is between 175,000 - 200,000 years old, pushing back the modern human migration out of Africa by at least 50,000 years.

While older fossils of modern humans have been found in Africa, the timing and routes of modern human migration out of Africa are key issues for understanding the evolution of our own species, said the researchers.

To check out the hypothesis that humans were the sole authors of the bison's early decline, Alan Cooper and Beth Shapiro of Oxford University in the U.K. and colleagues obtained ancient DNA from 442 bison fossils found in North America, Siberia, and China.

Today, photosynthesis is considered «the most important chemical reaction on earth», providing food for humans and animals, releasing oxygen for them to breathe — and millions of years later, this process provides fossil fuel in the form of oil, coal and natural gas, as Michel likes to point out.

While he cracks these fossil - funded zingers, reputable scientists warn that humanity is running out of time to stop climate change from self - reinforcing to the point that it spirals out of human control.

Less mysterious is fossil evidence showing that a related group of Neanderthals lived in Vindija Cave, Croatia, around 52,000 years ago — just 12,000 years before Neanderthals as a distinct type of human are thought to have died out in Europe.

We've seen evolution via real - time observations and ordered series of fossils; evolution could be falsified by finding fossils out of place, such as that of a rabbit in 400 million - year - old sediments; and evolution certainly makes predictions (Darwin predicted, correctly, that human ancestors evolved in Africa).

Importantly, he pointed out that human beings were now carrying out a large - scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past or be reproduced in the future - an allusion, perhaps, to the growing realisation of the finite, one - off nature of the fossil fuels, being as they are a non-renewable resource over human timescales.

They have tended to vacillate between denying the evidence and trying to force selective parts of it into easy categories of ape (or monkey) and human (meaning modern human), despite the fact that we humans have rather diligently and successfully sought out our fossil ancestry.

In the future, it may turn out that fossil fuels are the blood of the Earth and by extracting them may lead to serious consequences to the Earth's survival, and by association, that of the humans.

«In Cave in Israel, Scientists Find Jawbone Fossil From Oldest Modern Human Out of Africa,» The New York Times, January 25, 2018.

The Post reported that Rasool, writing in Science, argued that in «the next 50 years» fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun's rays that the Earth's average temperature could fall by six degrees.

But Obama faces a reality that many of these groups seem slow to recognize: While the 20th - century toolkit preferred by traditional environmentalists — litigation, regulation and legislation — remains vital to limiting domestic pollution risks such as the oil gusher, it is a bad fit for addressing the building human influence on the climate system, which is driven now mainly by a surge in emissions mostly outside United States borders in countries aiming to propel their climb out of poverty on the same fossil fuels that generated much of our affluence.

-- Every human appears to have 10, 20 or more horses yoked with him (the primemovers that burn fossil fuels and make our current lives comfortable) which consume oxygen and spew out far more carbon - dioxide than man would do alone.

Fossil fuels (un) fortunately permitted human population to overshoot and most likely only running out of this resource may stop the CO2 emissions.

Something that has always bugged me even more than the obvious logical fallacies you point out is the uncontested claim that «climate has always changed,» which is an assertion that reads very differently than, «climate has changed even before humans began to burn fossil fuels.»

Reflecting on this disquieting moment — tragic for the lost lives and threatened livelihoods — to spell out the need to propel the country past the fossil - fuel rung on the long human climb up what Loren Eiseley called the «heat ladder.»

that «Human combustion of fossil fuels is significantly causing that climate change» is also true, then many, perhaps most, people will accept that there is a need to «reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build out clean energy» even if it will «cost consumers money, decrease energy security and destroy jobs».

Analysts at the global think tank Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) warn that Russia's «ostrich approach to phasing out fossil fuels and its denial of the human origins of climate change» could hamper climate action globally.

@manacker: «As I pointed out to Mosh, Vaughan's analysis is basically OK for the past, but sucks for the future because it ignores two overriding constraints: human population growth rates and total available fossil fuels.»

I have simply pointed out a) that your «extrapolation» of human - induced CO2 increase does not take into account expected future trends in human population growth, and b) that your 2100 level of 1000 ppm exceeds CO2 increase that would occur from consuming all the optimistically estimated fossil fuel resources remaining on our planet.

«The Kullman study points to mounting evidence that climate is largely out of human control, as humans were not burning large amounts fossil fuels during Roman and Medieval times.

It is apparently now «headline news» that the man who will be in charge of all of our public lands, which are being devastated by human - caused climate change — some of which was caused by fossil fuels extracted from those lands — doesn't believe there is a massive conspiracy carried out by the entire global scientific community and literally every single major government in the world, including our own, to fool the public and media.

On the other hand, if by some chance and what ends up happening is totally independent of human activity, because it turns out after all that CO2 from fossil fuels is magically transparent to infrared and has no effect on ocean pH, unlike regular CO2, say, but coincidentally big pieces of the ice sheets melt and temperature goes up 7 C in the next couple of centuries and weather patterns change and large unprecedented extreme events happen with incerasing frequency, and coincidentally all the reefs and shellfish die and the ocean becomes a rancid puddle, that could be unfortunate.

The scientists pointed out that the company still supported, for instance, the American Enterprise Institute, whose fellow, Jonah Goldberg, falsely told Fox News in 2014 that it was «utterly fraudulent» that 97 percent of scientists actively doing research into climate change back the theory that it is driven by human activity, mostly fossil fuel use.

Hansen and his co-authors describe a world that may quickly start to spin out of control if humans keep burning fossil fuels at close to our current rate.

«In the next 50 years fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun's rays that the Earth's average temperature could fall by six degrees.

Although the natural fluxes of carbon dioxide into and out of the atmosphere are still more than ten times larger than the amount that humans put in every year by burning fossil fuels, the human addition matters disproportionately because it unbalances those natural flows.

He also said we will never run out out fossil fuels because «Human ingenuity has an unlimited potential capacity to create new energy resources.

No matter how well informed you are, no matter how many peer - reviewed studies you cite, or how many times you point out the overwhelming agreement based on the evidence that exists among climate scientists that global warming is real and is principally caused by human fossil fuel use, you will get no where.

However, as Mr. Outing points out, presenting a «balanced» view of global heating doesn't make sense — there isn't anything resembling a serious debate about whether human beings are causing global heating because the current scientific consensus is that human burning of fossil fuels is causing global heating.

You have not even figured out how much pH change the ocean would see if (let's say) half of all CO2 emissions from human fossil fuels ended up in the oceans.

In fact, if humankind was really as dumb as the fans of DPS would have us believe, we wouldn't be around today to hear their doomsaying, because Homo sapiens would have been wiped out during vastly larger environmental swings (in and out of ice ages, for example) in our past, than those expected as a consequence of the burning of fossil fuels to produce the energy that powers our world — a world in which the human life expectancy, perhaps the best measure of our level of «dumbness» or «smartness» — has more than doubled over the last century and continues to grow ever longer.

And we are doing so, just as fossil fuels begin to run out and human population crests above 10 billion people.

Perhaps the most important issue in all this is, as the Royal Society pointed out in their assessment of geoengineering, the first and foremost thing we have to do to stop climate change is radically limit greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activity — stopping burning fossil fuels and stopping deforestation are at the top of list for how to do that.

It's only when deforestation and other land use changes made a net shift of carbon in the short term carbon cycle from plants back into the atmosphere, that humans began to make a net positive return of CO2 into the atmosphere (although deforestation is essentially reversible in principle), and it's very true to point out that industrial scale animal husbandry with its high cost in fossil - fuel - derived energy does mean that what might otherwise be a relatively closed system of cycling CO2 from the atmosphere through plants and then animals and back to the atmosphere, does become net positive with respect to CO2 emissions.

Importantly, he pointed out that human beings were now carrying out a large - scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past or be reproduced in the future - an allusion, perhaps, to the growing realisation of the finite, one - off nature of the fossil fuels, being as they are a non-renewable resource over human timescales.

Because the basics of anthropogenic global warming are fairly straightforward — CO2 is a greenhouse gas, because of the lapse rate water vapor condenses or freezes out in the troposphere and acts mainly to amplify the effect of CO2, humans are burning a lot of fossil C and increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere, the surface of the earth is warming, the cryosphere is retreating, the climate that supports civilization is rapidly changing, and consequently we are facing an uncertain future — but the details are complex, it's easy to «misunderestimate» the way climate works in detail.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has come out with a strong warning that humans must eliminate fossil fuel emissions by the second half of this century to avoid economic catastrophe.
