«Many adults believe that hearing loss, particularly due to aging, is «normal» and
therefore of little consequence other than, perhaps, social difficulties,» said senior study author Dr. Neil Bhattacharyya.
The fact that there has on any basis been
little further warming over the course
of the last 10 to 15 years over and above that which had already occured by the mid / late 19902 suggests that recent extreme weather events are not the
consequence of additional warming (there having been all but none these past 15 years) and
therefore must be due to natural variability
of weather events in an ever changing and chaotic world in which we live.
