Therefore, as Mrs Rapti was saying, I can still remember the anxiety I felt when awaiting my test results, but above all how I went through the so-called ‘window period’ between the potential contamination and the hypothetical outbreak of disease.

K. whereas science has identified a number of so-called "tipping-points" in the earth's climate system, whereas such "tipping points" represent "points of no return" for practically irreversible climate change impacts that cannot be reasonably managed by humans, whereas these "tipping-points" and the unstoppable bio-geophysical processes triggered thereby cannot be fully included in the existing future climate scenarios, whereas such "tipping points" include: melting of permafrost, with the resulting release of large quantities of methane into the atmosphere; melting of glaciers, with an increase in the rate of sunlight absorption and l ...[+++]ower CO2 solubility in seawater, bringing with it a rise in temperature, whereas, as temperatures rise, these factors tend gradually to exacerbate global warming, owing to a positive feedback effect,
