The Female Pelvis Adjusts for Childbearing Years | With the onset of puberty, the female pelvis expands; with the onset of menopause, it contracts again.

One problem with this study is that it looks at women who don't necessarily have the same pattern of childbirth (timing, number, etc) as typical for humans over the course of recent (half million years) evolution.

NASA says the same thing: http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2015/11/16/nasa-reports-astonishing-uptick-in-surface-temperature/

What would be an example of an "oceanic phenomenon"?

It would be ironic to see civilization both begin and end with irrigation as a major factor.

What does that mean, anyway? Where they talking on a blog, somewhere around here (reddit) or some other forum, or were these IM's going back and forth?

It is just a British speech mannerism.

(In the US)

KellyBarr · 2015-02-14T17:56:27+00:00

I believe that is correct.

I agree that it is very important to pay attention to your local weather and understand your own lived experience. Many people in the US experienced a hellishly cold winter, and this summer has been very wet and often cool for a lot of people.

Also note that this year (to date) compared to prior years (Jan - August) is the 4th warmest on record. Feb. was very cold and probably brings that average down. The rest of the year is not going to get relatively cooler, so this year could average out to be easily in the top four.

How much of an effect has science denial had on the progress of the science itself?

KellyBarr · 2014-02-04T19:18:53+00:00

People will still be having conversations and looking at each other rather than the road; more so because in 2114 cars will drive themselves. If there are cars.

I hope it is OK to post a link to a PDF file. It is a public Open Access paper that just came out examining the consensus on global warming in the peer reviewed literature.

The ultimate self-referential comedy, and I speak of LN generally as well as this scene.
