Considering what a huge amount that is,cheap ghd, it would be helpful for the professor to explain what the result would be if we somehow managed to do it.</p><p>"How much would that slow the pace of climate change? Would it make a significant difference,christian louboutin sale, or would it simply be destroying modern economies for the sake of doing something? What will be the result if we don't do it?"</p> <p><strong>Bill McKibben responds:</strong></p><p>What a good and useful question,louboutin uk. The figure of a 5% annual reduction in "carbon intensity" of our planet comes from a source most Angelenos will recognize: the accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Turns out that it does more than tally the votes for the Oscars; it also produces a wide variety of reports for various clients as they try to deal with the future.</p><p>In this case, its report, published in November, dealt with the following question: What would we need to do if we wanted to keep the planet's temperature from increasing more than 2 degrees Celsius, which is the one thing even the planet's most conservative governments,christian louboutin, from China to the U.S. to the United Arab Emirates, have agreed on as a climate goal? (A 2-degree increase, it should be noted, is no picnic. So far we've raised the temperature 1 degree,christian louboutin shoes, and that's been enough to melt much of the Arctic ice, so most scientists are horrified by the thought of a 2-degree rise. But on our current path, we're headed for 6 degrees, which is a planet out of science fiction,louboutin uk.)</p><p>Cutting emissions by 5% annually will be a very tall task; it's far faster than we've gone in the past. It would require, in essence, putting our economies on a wartime footing, as we make the transition to renewable energy our highest societal priority,gucci outlet.</p><p>Past wartime experience would indicate that yes, this will cost money. It would also indicate that the newly rebuilt economy will be far more efficient and productive — think back and compare the prewar economy of the 1930s and the postwar one of the 1950s.</p><p>As for "destroying modern economies," the real danger lies in not doing anything about climate change,burberry. The most robust attempt to tally the likely damage — from the economist Nicholas Stern, who had been commissioned by the British government — found that the cost of unchecked global warming could pass the combined cost of both world wars and the Depression. To understand how such a thing might happen, consider the costs of this year's drought and : $100 billion price tags start to add up (and of course the biggest price was born by poor consumers around the world, many of whom saw the price of their daily bread rise painfully out of reach).</p><p>Bottom line: not easy or cheap,gucci, but easier and cheaper than the alternative of a hopelessly overheating world.</p><p><strong>ALSO:</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p></p> </div>

| − | <div class="p402_premium"><p>"After I left the theater I remember feeling physically uncomfortable," said Pearson, a Dublin, Ohio, mother of two teenagers who writes movie reviews for the website . "It was gruesome torture sequence after gruesome torture sequence. That kind of thing has a tendency to stay with me."</p><p>Pearson and her husband, Aris Christofides,ghd hair straighteners, started writing highly descriptive online reviews in 1992 to help parents navigate the sometimes confusing nature of movie ratings, but over the years their audience has evolved to include an unexpected group: adults looking to avoid certain types of screen violence themselves.</p> <p><strong><strong></strong></strong></p><p>"We get a lot of email from women who've been victims of sexual violence and don't want to see those kinds of scenes," Pearson said. "We get email from people who've been in a car accident and don't want to see a movie with a car accident. And a lot of people just can't tolerate torture — including me."</p><p>Amid the heated public debate over whether violent entertainment causes or encourages aggressive behavior, it's easy to overlook members of the audience who are quietly but profoundly affected by scenes of murder and mutilation in movies and television — the ones who go home and pull their covers over their heads or go out of their way to avoid such fare entirely,louboutin.</p><p>Although it's not often discussed, some people are more sensitive to screen violence than others,christian louboutin, both for reasons of physiology and life experience,christian louboutin sale.</p><p>In a world where increasingly grisly entertainment is delivered on bigger screens, with more realistic visual effects and in the sometimes assaulting detail of high definition and 3-D,gucci outlet online, those with more delicate sensibilities may feel under siege. And with violent movies such as "The Dark Knight Rises" and among last year's highest grossers and programs like "Criminal Minds" and scoring some of TV's highest ratings, Hollywood has little incentive to cater to them.</p><p></p><p>San Francisco psychologist Elaine Aron estimates that 15% to 20% of people are "highly sensitive," a group she identified in the 1990s and published research on in medical journals such as Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience and the Journal of Analytical . Along with being more affected by noises and smells,christian louboutin sale, these same people tend to react more strongly to violent imagery.</p><p>"Sensitive people have more active mirror neurons," Aron said, describing a type of nerve cell that neuroscientists have only recently begun to research. "These are the parts of the brain where if you see somebody kick a ball, you feel as though you're kicking the ball yourself. Then there are other parts of the brain that tell you, 'No,ghd, it's not you.' But the experience of empathy still happens, and for some people, it's very intense."</p><p>Sensitive viewers don't just react while sitting in a movie theater — with a quickening of the pulse and a surge of stress hormones — but long after, often experiencing nightmares or feeling uncomfortable in situations that remind them of the scene.</p><p>Anyone who has ever thought of while wading in the ocean or while taking a shower can relate to the indelibility of certain filmed images,christian louboutin shoes. But for some people the pictures pose real and lasting problems.</p><p><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong><span></span><span></span></p><p>After seeing the 1967 thriller "Wait Until Dark," Joanne Cantor couldn't sleep for days. Cantor, an expert on the psychological effects of media and a professor emeritus at the , was in her 20s and had just moved to Paris. Like Hepburn's character, who is blind and being pursued by criminals, she was a vulnerable young woman in an unfamiliar setting.</p><p>Repercussions from media violence, as Cantor found, are more acute when we're young. Imagery we see when we're younger than 13 leaves a particularly lasting imprint, she said, and children under 5 are almost completely unable to differentiate fiction from reality.</p><p>In surveys of 530 of Cantor's undergraduate students, 86% reported having some fright symptoms after viewing certain kinds of media when they were under age 13. Some said they couldn't sleep for days, while others reported ongoing discomfort around normally nonthreatening objects or beings, such as clowns or animals.</p><p>"Our brains are made to respond negatively to depictions of violence," said Cantor, who also wrote the book "Mommy, I'm Scared." "The fear response is designed to keep us alive. Some people say, 'Why am I such a baby? What's wrong with me? This gives me nightmares,ghd sale, but this is what my boyfriend wants me to watch.' I tell them, 'You're human, there's nothing wrong with you.' Our brains evolved to respond this way before there were movies."</p><p>Some of what determines whether an audience enjoys a violent movie is in the genes,christian louboutin uk, but some of it is in personal histories, according to Michael Pluess, a psychologist at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College in London who studies why some people are more influenced by their environment than others.</p><p><strong><strong><strong><strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></p> </div>

| − | <div class="p402_premium"><p>Republican senators and congressmen on the foreign affairs committees of both houses had insisted that the departing secretary of State come in for a full day of hearings about the deadly terrorist attack on the American consulate in , Libya. Some of them must have thought this was a great chance to do preemptive damage to the most popular choice for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Instead, she made them look like the clumsy bad guys in an political drama.</p><p>The 's own independent investigative board has already answered most of the serious questions about the Benghazi tragedy in which four Americans were killed, including U,ghd straighteners.S. Ambassador </a>. The panel cited the failures of mid-level officials and suggested 29 ways to improve the system,louboutin shoes. Clinton said implementation of those steps was already 85% complete.</p> <p>A productive hearing would have concentrated on what else can be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future -- a discussion that would have also included examining why not only consistently underfunds the State Department,louboutin shoes, but has blocked expenditure of money that has already been appropriated to shore up American diplomatic efforts in several international trouble spots.</p><p>Instead, too many of the Republican committee members had been coached to dredge up old questions about the U.S,cheap christian louboutin. ambassador to the , ,christian louboutin. Last September, on the weekend following the attack, Rice went on the Sunday TV news shows and underplayed the terrorist connection, instead suggesting that the incident may have been connected with riots in other Muslim countries that were set off by an online preview of a never-made movie defaming the prophet Muhammad. Questions about why Rice said what she said have been answered repeatedly: She was parroting talking points provided by U,cheap ghd straighteners.S. intelligence services.</p><p>A useful line of questions would have followed up on that answer,ghd hair straighteners. An L.A. Times by former aide Sarah Chayes suggests where such an inquiry would lead: "One lesson to be drawn from the Benghazi snafu is that powerful bureaucratic filters prevent crucial information from reaching senior U.S. government leaders. Whether the client at the top is the U,ghd hair straighteners.N. ambassador, the director of Central Intelligence or the president, bureaucracies consistently massage and filter information before passing it up the chain."</p><p>But the Republicans did not want to explore the tendency for bad information to emerge from the intelligence bureaucracy, they wanted to resurrect a specious political attack that got them nowhere in the final days of the presidential campaign. In their wild imaginings, Rice's ill-informed comments were not just the result of bad information,ghd sale, they were part of an Obama administration effort to dupe the American people.</p><p>Clinton easily slapped back this and other equally off-the-wall lines of inquiry. Unlike most of her inquisitors who seemed to be working from talking points, Clinton was working from fact-based briefings. With their cranky theatrics, Kentucky’s freshman Sen. and Wisconsin Sen. proved to be perfect foils for Clinton’s virtuoso performance,christian louboutin uk.</p><p>At the end of the day, Clinton left the stage looking stronger than ever. The only people who may feel worse about that than the Republicans are the ambitious Democrats who are contemplating a run for the Democratic presidential nomination next time around. On Wednesday, Clinton did not look too old, too tired or too vulnerable. She looked like she could beat anyone.</p> </div>
