The general consensus among scientists is that the young Earth's atmosphere contained much larger quantities of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and / or ammonia) than are present today, which trapped enough heat to compensate for the lesser amount of solar energy reaching the planet.

I avoid eating at restaurants as much as possible because of «Restaurant Syndrome» — the phenomenon of overeating in response to the convivial atmosphere, drinking alcohol and less inhibition, the yummy sights and smells, and large serving sizes — all of which contribute to a documented increased risk of blood sugar problems and weight gain.

It's a somewhat generic storyline that's compounded by the presence of a seriously annoying supporting character named Ngoc Lan Tran (Hong Chau, delivering one of 2017's most grating performances), with the less - than - engrossing vibe compounded by a stagnant, meandering atmosphere and aggressively overlong running time (ie much of the film's midsection consists of padded - out and entirely needless sequences).
