6/9/2023 0 Comments Torchwood by James Goss![]() The length of it means that it is, in a sense, an imagined ‘sixth season’ for the TV show, where its predecessor was the fifth, but it’s more like the second half of a 24-episode season in which (as often in such shows) the original Big Bad turned out at the half-way mark to have been hiding a bigger one.

In Clovis's time, the Western Roman Empire lay in ruins, and a variety of invading tribes ruled most of Western Europe. Hence Clovis's conversion to Christianity in 496, an event recorded by Gregory of Tours (TOOR 538–594) in his History of the Franks, was an event of key importance. 466–511 ruled 481–511), tribal kings accepted a number of different faiths. W hen one studies the relationship between medieval European kingdoms and the Catholic Church, it is hard to imagine a time when the kings of Western Europe were not Christians, or at least not Catholic.

So at what point do sweaty summers and mild winters turn into extinction and the collapse of civilization?Ī new book fills that knowledge gap: Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency by Mark Lynas, an influential environmentalist in England. A few degrees of warming doesn’t sound that bad, maybe no more dangerous than nudging up your thermostat. If you are like most people, you have a sense that climate change is bad, but would be hard-pressed to explain the exact consequences of each additional degree of heat. To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, things escalate quickly. Three degrees would be a hotter world than our species has ever experienced: The last time the temperatures rose that high was 2 million years before the evolution of homo sapiens.Ĭreep up another 2 degrees, and it could lead to the greatest mass extinction in earth’s history. Two degrees could mean crop failures and 500,000 deaths from malnutrition a year. The global thermostat has gone up 1 degree Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, and rivers of meltwater are now coursing off Greenland’s glaciers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 15 July 2020 | The story of our warming planet can be told by degrees. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith![]() ![]() She specialized in literature, history, and drama.
