Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed
over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply
changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental
change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will
continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic
climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!

continue to disagree
over long - settled evidence on
climate change, for example.
As global temperatures have risen
over the past 20 years, satellite data reveals that global rainfall has also increased — and the trend may
continue as the
climate changes
A few of the main points of the third assessment report issued in 2001 include: An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other
changes in the
climate system; emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols due to human activities
continue to alter the atmosphere in ways that are expected to affect the
climate; confidence in the ability of models to project future
climate has increased; and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed
over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.
Analysts said they believe the measure will help shift dynamics in the international

A new study by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, shows that while ice sheets and glaciers
continue to melt,
changes in weather and
climate over the past decade have caused Earth's continents to soak up and store an extra 3.2 trillion tons of water in soils, lakes and underground aquifers, temporarily slowing the rate of sea level rise by about 20 percent.
Wildfires across the western United States have been getting bigger and more frequent
over the last 30 years — a trend that could
continue as
climate change causes temperatures to rise and drought to become more severe in the coming decades, according to new research.
«Even more interesting is that as satellite measurements
continue and so as the datasets get longer, we will be able to recalculate our metric
over longer time periods to investigate how and if ecosystem sensitivity to
climate variability is
changing over time.»
I also hope that this research can be a model for future studies that
continue to investigate
climate change effects
over time and space using the fossil record.
Given that atmospheric CO2 will likely
continue to climb
over the next century, a long - term increase in flowering activity may persist in some growth forms until checked by nutrient limitation or by
climate change through rising temperatures, increasing drought frequency and / or increasing cloudiness and reduced insolation.
While Heartland
continues politicizing science, demonizing credible scientists and using tobacco industry tactics to forge doubt
over global warming, Americans are feeling the real toll
climate change is already taking on society, by increasing the severity of storms like hurricane Sandy or pushing droughts, wildfires and heatwaves to new extremes.
A comprehensive study of biodiversity indicators
over the past decade [116] reveals that, despite some local success in increasing extent of protected areas, overall indicators of pressures on biodiversity including that due to
climate change are
continuing to increase and indicators of the state of biodiversity are
continuing to decline.

We've adapted our crops for each location
over hundreds of years of genetic engineering, and I suspect farmers
continue to do this year

«Thus, while research on
climate change should
continue, now is the time for individuals and governments to act to limit the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions on the Earth's
climate over the next century and well beyond.»
On the general issue of
climate change my professional opinion is that humans will
continue to drive the truck, as fast as possible, right
over the cliff.
I will
continue to disagree with Joe Romm
over whether «perfect» unfiltered public information on
climate change would lead to concrete and consequential steps to move away from the fuels, and habits, of convenience.
As everyone knows (or ought to know by now), one of main reason controversy
over climate change is
continuing in the face of overwhelming evidence is the fact that ExxonMobil has the cash spigot open to fund anyone willing to deny the evidence — the Competitive Enterprise Insitute, George Marshall Institute and the old tobacco industry network run by Steven Milloy, Fred Seitz and Fred Singer have been among the main beneficiaries.
With global GHG emissions and concentrations
continuing to increase; with
climate change intensifying
changes in ecosystems, ice sheet deterioration, and sea level rise; and with fossil fuels providing more than 80 % of the world's energy, the likelihood seems low that cooperative actions will prevent increasingly disruptive
climate change over the next several decades.

Since Heartland does not deny
climate change is occurring, and in fact is bringing together the world's leading scientists and economists to study the issue, it is entirely appropriate that corporations and foundations that have publicly stated their concern
over climate change would
continue to fund us.
This optimism will hinge strongly on events in Europe this week and moving ahead, but if these trends
continue, we should expect a slow and gradual corresponding rise in public belief and concern
over climate change, a trend that will be important analyze by comparing findings across multiple survey firms and forms of question wording.
Schelling
continued: «I sometimes wish that we could have,
over the next five or ten years, a lot of horrid things happening — you know, like tornadoes in the Midwest and so forth — that would get people very concerned about
climate change.»
If we miss the 2015 deadline, atmospheric CO2 levels
continue to rise and we have to cut back even more steeply,
over a shorter time period, to avoid runaway
climate change.
Drought is expected to occur 20 - 40 percent more often in most of Australia
over the coming decades.6, 18 If our heat - trapping emissions
continue to rise at high rates, 19 more severe droughts are projected for eastern Australia in the first half of this century.6, 17 And droughts may occur up to 40 percent more often in southeast Australia by 2070.2 Unless we act now to curb global warming emissions, most regions of the country are expected to suffer exceptionally low soil moisture at almost double the frequency that they do now.3 Studies suggest that

I'll make an assertion in response to your assertion: if we don't «we understand what governs natural variability,» it seems we have exactly one of two choices: (1) proceed on the assumption that it will
continue to operate within roughly the same bounds as it has in the past, or (2) throw up our hands and make no attempt to project how
climate will
change over time.
