Moreover, he says, a private donor would probably want to
see evidence of stable government support before committing.

Already, Lukin said, the researchers have
seen evidence of such states — in one
of the first experiments conducted with the new system, the team discovered a new coherent non-equilibrium state that remained
stable for a surprisingly long time.
To point out just a couple
of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I
see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative /
stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an
evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU
of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade
of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part
of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view
of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead
of GW, maybe even that a small part
of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative
evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively
stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief —
see second half
of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression
of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number
of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not
seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx
of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends
of the globe, is exactly what we've been
seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels
of ghg has stabilized.
With the majority
of countries involved in bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, e.g. ASEAN Free Trade Area, NAFTA, EEA, APEC that are still functioning nowadays, tariffs are removed or reduced and services and goods become more accessible and affordable; enterprises enjoy more
stable and safer environment for their investments; and the strength
of international cooperation is
evidenced as we
see international organisations, such as WTO, have substantially contributed to international trading, leading to a remarkable and fruitful development
of the global economics.
