If, for instance, the concentrations of certain trace gases (see above) continue to increase, it has been predicted that the earth's surface temperature will increase by an amount comparable to that since the last major phase of the most recent glaciation (about 18 000 years BP) β€” though there is some dispute about the magnitude of the likely change.
There are several important ways in which biogeochemical processes can influence climate and hence habitability (except where the latter is maintained at enormous cost).
The converse case β€” the effect of physical climate changes on biogeochemical processes β€” is also of obvious importance: changes in annual averages and cycles of temperature and precipitation, together with the probabilities of extreme events such as prolonged droughts or frosts, are major determinants of terrestrial ecosystem type, at least in areas largely unaffected by human activity.

Yet, the irony of the early 1980s β€” as a deteriorating, but perennial, urban problem rapidly became the most acute aspect of the crisis of mass unemployment β€” was that a Tory government, willy-nilly, found itself presiding over an increase in state intervention through a variety of agencies.
Conservative instincts were, of course, to minimize β€” within the β€˜ partnership β€” state involvement and expenditure, relative to that of private enterprise.
The increased scale of operations also ushered in another fashion of the 1980s β€” new management structures.

Yet if the example is modified a little, so that the overtaking is on a country road at night and the risk is known to be slight, it becomes questionable whether the causing of death in these circumstances should be labelled in the same way as intentional killings.
One might ask whether motorists are ever justified in knowingly taking risks with other people's lives.

The words, in that round childish script, had remained with him.
As a delinquent nine-year-old at his prep school, he had once been required by the headmaster to write out in his best handwriting the whole of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes, old Gumboil, economical in this as in all matters, believing that writing lines should combine punishment with literary and religious education.

This boat was called Dream Baby, and she was clearly an expensive infant for rods and whip-aerials and outriggers splayed from her upperworks like the antennae of some outlandish insect.
The seemingly random and jagged-edged pattern of blue, black, silver, green and white had been designed to disguise a boat's shape from the prying eyes of U-Boat captains, so it seemed somewhat fanciful to thus camouflage a pleasure boat in the Bahamas.
She boasted a harpoon walkway, a fly bridge, and, above the highest wheel-platform, an aluminium canopy which held a radar aerial.

In applications of this kind the authors argue that geographic information management in general and GIS in particular have an important role to play and they give a number of examples from research in progress to illustrate the current state of the art in this field.
The discussion of operational problems and prospects further amplifies many of the issues raised in preceding chapters, particularly with respect to the problems caused by the dependency on secondary data sources and the need for much more detailed geographic information to overcome some of the problems associated with linking data sets.
