    Humans may need to “wait for decades” to see the results of large emission cuts on global surface temperatures, scientists have said. Researchers in Norway used computer simulations to analyse various scenarios that looked at the effects of rapid reductions in several types of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane.

    They found that although large-scale emission cuts are needed to achieve the global climate goals, it may take decades before the effects of the reductions on temperatures can be measured.

The researchers estimated that even for the most optimistic scenarios, it will take at least 15 years to establish the impact of emission cuts on climate change.

    Bjorn H Samset, of the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research (Cicero) in Oslo, said: “Humaninduced climate change can be compared with a tank ship at high speed and in big waves. If you want the ship to slow down, you will put the engine in reverse, but it will take some time before you start noticing that the ship is moving more slowly. It will also rock back and forth because of the waves.

Exterior: Between The Museums — Day

 

    CELINE

    Americans always think Europe is perfect. But such beauty and history can be really oppressive. It reduces the individual to nothing. It just reminds you all the time you are just a little speck in a long history, where in America you feel like you could be making history. That's why I like Los Angeles because it is so...

    JESSE
    Ugly?
    CELINE

    No, I was going to say “neutral”. It's like looking at a blank canvas. I think people go to places like Venice on their honeymoon to make sure they are not going to fight I for the first two weeks of their marriage because they'll be too busy looking around at all the beautiful things. That's I what people call a romantic place — somewhere where the prettiness will contain your primary violent instinct. A real good honeymoon spot would be like somewhere in New Jersey.

    We are now a nation obsessed with the cult of celebrity. Celebrities have replaced the classic notion of the hero. But instead of being respected for talent, courage or Intelligence, it is money, style and image the deciding factors in what commands respect. Image is everything. Their image is painstakingly constructed by a multitude of different image consultants to carve out the most profitable celebrity they can. Then society is right behind them, believing in everything that celebrity believes In. Companies know that people will buy a product if a celebrity has it too. Itis as if the person buying the product feels thal they now have some kind of comection with the celebrity and that some of their perceived happiness will now be passed onto the consumer. So to look at it one way, the cult of celebrity is really nothing more than a sophisticated marketing scheme. Celebrities though cannot be blamed for all negative aspects of society. In reality society is to blame. We are the people who seemed to have lost lhe ability to think for ourselves. I suppose it's easier to be told what to think, rather than challenging what we are told. The reason we are swamped by celebrity is because there is a demand for it.
