Brahms soars over your garden, crucible of biospheric hopes. ❋ Unknown (2009)
By far, most of the biospheric carbon - about 1.6 trillion tons - is found in soils. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Once the global Citizen's Dividend is comprehended, negotiated and operative, it must be held in "trusteeship" by each of us and would lead to 'species environment friendly' governance, and a sustainable age of biospheric performance. ❋ Unknown (2009)
For it ignores the large body of data pointing to cosmological fine-tuning, Earth's planetary and biospheric fine-tuning, and the fine-tuned nature of genetic code, none of which indicates determined track-covering. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Modeling plays an especially important role in understanding biospheric patterns and processes because there is only one earth: it is impossible to conduct global experiments on the entire biosphere or complete global processes (though some consider our current use of fossil fuels to be such an experiment). ❋ Unknown (2009)
Throughout this whole process, from the beginning of time to the very edge of the future, as the energy and intelligence that has been driving cosmic, planetary, biospheric, animal, human, and cultural evolution, we have been here at every step. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It's all a matter of trimming-and-tailoring a thawed Mars to the "biospheric optimum," he concluded. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Though they are well weaponized, we must re-witness the need for removal of this take (while the rest were poorly organized), by the global elite by raising consciousness on 'ground rent' unpaid by them on natural resources that constitute biospheric "common wealth" of human beings and other species. ❋ Unknown (2009)
To better understand the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other elements, and the role of biospheric processes like photosynthesis, respiration and the storage of carbon in soils and vegetation, researchers have developed a variety of global biogeochemical models (e.g. CASA). ❋ Unknown (2009)
If some extractive natural subsector gets scarce we will just substitute other sectors for it and growth of the whole economy will continue, not into any restraining biospheric envelope, but into sidereal space presumably full of resource-bearing asteriods and friendly highly-evolved aliens eager to teach us how to grow forever into their territory. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Despite Obama's victory, there is no sign that our government - trapped by inertia and beholden to hordes of special interests - can confront the biospheric crisis that our species has unleashed on the earth. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Each year, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration varies between a high value in winter (because of biospheric respiration) and a low value in summer (because of drawdown by photosynthesis); as a result, a wave-like pattern is superimposed on the year-to-year increasing trend. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The Facility provides concessional funding for programs investing in the preservation or enhancement of four classes of biospheric infrastructure or nonmarketed natural capital. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Consider some specific cases of biospheric infrastructure investments and the difficulties they present. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Although there is as yet no indication of the degree to which development economists would agree with the fundamental thesis argued here, three UN agencies (World Bank, UNEP, and UNDP) have nevertheless embarked on a project, however exploratory and modest, of biospheric infrastructure investment known as the Global Environmental Facility. ❋ Unknown (2008)
However, current gasoline prices prove there is still plenty left for many more years of astronomical profits; still more than enough left for utter biospheric catastrophe (if the process for that hasn't already been irrevocably initiated). ❋ Unknown (2008)
The Anthropocene defines Earth's most recent geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on overwhelming global evidence that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric and other earth system processes are now altered by humans. ❋ Unknown (2008)
This series of suggestions is written because my country is on a path that will first destroy other societies -- upon which we depend -- and the biospheric basis of life itself; and this means eventually our own society. ❋ Unknown (2008)
His name is cursed globally because his Administration accelerated the global warming and other biospheric problems which have in recent decades killed so many millions, impoverished so many tens of millions more, led to the disappearance of numerous coastal regions and much of Bangladesh, and caused mass migrations and diseases on a scale never before seen in human history. ❋ Unknown (2008)
