![]() The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states clearly in its AR5 assessment report 4: ![]() How much of the warming since 1850 can be attributed to human emissions? Almost all of it. 3 Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the main driver of this warming ![]() But overall, this temperature rise is in the range of 1 to 1.2℃. Overall, this would amount to an average temperature rise of 1.1℃.īecause there are small year-to-year fluctuations in temperature, the specific temperature increase depends on what year we assume to be ‘pre-industrial’ and the end year we’re measuring from. When extended back to 1850, we see that temperatures then were a further 0.4℃ colder than they were in our baseline. We see that over the last few decades, global temperatures have risen sharply - to approximately 0.7℃ higher than our 1961-1990 baseline. The red line represents the average annual temperature trend through time, with upper and lower confidence intervals shown in light grey. In the chart, we see the global average temperature relative to the average of the period between 19. To set the scene, let’s look at how the planet has warmed. ![]() 1 This link between global temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations – especially CO 2 – has been true throughout Earth’s history. Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases – are a primary driver of climate change – and present one of the world’s most pressing challenges. ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

However, it is also important that you continue to focus on the future path ahead. Expressing your sadness and letting it all out will then help you to move on to better times. When you have suffered a major setback, or loss, it is a good time to have a good cry, which is all part of the cleansing process. The Three of Swords is also about release. By preparing for this difficult event, the emotional blow can be minimized or even prevented entirely. However, the Three of Swords often serves as a warning sign to show when one or more of these are possible. Such events feel so painful because they are unexpected. ![]() The Three of Swords represents rejection, sadness, loneliness, heartbreak, betrayal, separation and grief. Reversed: Releasing pain, optimism, forgiveness. Three of Swords: Upright: Painful separation, sorrow heartbreak, grief, rejection. Images are from the Wild Unknown tarot deck and differs from others decks. ![]() Bell read Midnight’s tarot, and here’s what was in store for him. ![]() ![]() For me it was a 'eureka' moment as Happy! then came to life in my imagination almost immediately, before I'd even read the first script. ![]() Apparently, Grant felt the same way as we both ruminated on it a bit and I suggested a goofier looking character, and Grant replied, maybe something, ugly duckling like, and I came up with the current design, based loosely on a donkey that thinks he's a horse. So I came up with a version that met that description, and while it wasn't bad at all, something was missing from it for me. He loved the notion of this sweet, adorable, ever smiling, ever positive character contrasted with this hard as nails, tough guy detective. Robertson: Our first take on the character came from Grant's initial idea that Happy! would look something similar to a " My Little Pony" creation, a parody of sorts. ![]() ![]() Everybody knows that the pandemic is not something that we wanted, but it's also. This has been, you know, a terrible scourge. March to the Majority is not only about the past, but also about the challenges our nation faces today and offers principles for governing the American people. BROOKS: It certainly can because people have had time to look inward. Bill Clinton, and other fascinating political figures.Gingrich and Gaylord share never-before-told stories about: Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich joins with former National Republican Congressional Committee Executive Director Joe Gaylord to bring alive the stories, events, and activities that led to the Contract with America and the first re-elected Republican majority since 1928. No two people are better positioned to tell this story than Gingrich and Gaylord. ![]() The idea of writing a parallel novel to Little Women is audacious in concept. My review will add little luster to the array the book has received. These untold stories and inspiring lessons about the rise of modern conservatism are immensely relevant today as the United States faces profound and extraordinary challenges. Geraldine brook's book March has been awarded multiple prizes, including a Pulitzer. ![]() ![]() There were many adventures, personalities, missteps, and victories on the road from a seemingly permanent House GOP minority to the first Republican majority in 40 years. The story of Gingrich’s rise from college professor, to architect of the Contract with America, to Speaker of the U.S. In March to the Majority, New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers behind the scenes of the Republican Revolution in 1994 and the rise of the modern GOP. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If, then, art should tend to call up proletarian instincts, it basically uses the same means as ecclesiastical or nationalist art. ![]() Such an art would not be universal, would not grow out of the sense of global nationality, but from individual, social, temporally and spatially limited views. If, however, the art should serve exclusively the proletariat, apart from the fact that the proletariat is interested in bourgeois taste, this art would be limited, and as limited as, specifically, bourgeois art. Art is free in the use of its means, but bound to its own laws, and only to its own laws, and as soon as the work is a work of art, it is far superior to the class differences of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Art is an intellectual function of man with the purpose of delivering him from the chaos of life (tragedy). The artist is neither proletarian nor bourgeois, and what he creates belongs neither to the proletariat nor the bourgeoisie, but to all. To those who wish to create proletarian art, we ask: "What is proletarian art?" Is it art made by proletarians themselves? Or art which serves only the proletariat? Or art to arouse proletarian (revolutionary) instincts? Art, made by proletarians, does not exist because the proletarian, when he creates art, no longer remains a proletarian, but becomes an artist. An art that refers to a certain class of people does not exist, and if it were to exist, it would not be important to life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With at least one man entangled with each sister, how they handle these relationships speaks to their traits, needs for purposefulness, and medical ambitions. Derived from the mineral that turns out rubies unearthed here, the novel itself a gem. It takes place in a “kinder and richer rural area than most of Australia,” an imaginary town of 50,000 in the state of New South Wales: Corunda. Sisterhood and Individualism: Love and other Ambitions (Australia, 1925 – 1933): Bittersweet is a perfect title for the romantic entanglements of four sisters – two sets of beautiful, devoted, non-identical twins – at the heart of this sweeping historical novel set when a young Commonwealth of Australia gained its independence from Great Britain, in the years leading up to and during the Great Depression. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two centuries after Behn's burial in Westminster Abbey's Poets Corner, Virginia Woolf observed, "All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn. Despite the considerable success of her poetry, plays, and fiction, little is known for certain about the life of Restoration-era author Aphra Behn (1640-89). The storyteller's account of an African prince who is sold into slavery and becomes the leader of a rebellion represents one of the first fictional treatments of colonial and abolitionist themes, and it is unusual for its era in its sympathetic regard for black Africans. ![]() Originally published in 1688, the tale combines memoir, biography, and travelogue in the form of a narrative by an Englishwoman visiting Surinam. A landmark in the history of the novel, Oroonoko is among the earliest such works in the English language and its author, Aphra Behn, is often cited as the first professional woman writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She lives outside Boston with her husband and daughter. She holds a BA from Wesleyan University and an MFA from the University of Washington.
