<div>A well-documented trend in the average temperature on the [[Earth]]'s surface, affecting the world's [[climate]].<br />
<br />
Until quite recently, there was considerable debate as to whether global warming is occurring or not. However, this appears to be largely settled.<br />
<br />
An ongoing debate involves the extent to which global warming is caused by human actions, such as the extensive use of [[fossil fuel]]s. This debate mostly occurs among the public, whereas the issue amongst climate scientists is mostly settled in favor of the anthropogenic hypothesis.<br />

Bicycle helmets can really mitigate damage to the head. There is some really good science to back this up, from a physical and engineering point of view, but the elaboration is tedious. Thus, there is no need for bullshit statistics or some cloudy "debate" like in Wikipedia.

<hr />
<div>'''Fiberglass''' is the common name to '''glass fiber-reinforced composites''', or GFRPs.<br />
<br />
The glass fibers are the main source of the mechanical strength. They are held in place by a polymer matrix. The most common matrix is epoxy.<br />
<br />
Glass is ordinarily very weak, but if it is drawn out into long fibers, then the Weibull statistical distribution of the surface flaws guarantees that, provided a sufficient aspect ratio, that they will be able to exhibit shear transfer through the matrix enough to overcome each the flaws in each fiber of a critical size.</div>Facialhttp://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/index.php/PlutoniumPlutonium2009-03-17T21:46:23Z<p>Facial: </p>

<hr />
<div>'''Germans''' are a degenerate people who think that having a double pair of mutant recessive alleles for blond hair and blue eyes is something good. They are also fond of beer, leather and farting. The latter two are a bad combination.<br />
<br />
It is no secret that both sexes loathe inefficiency, love the Fatherland, have never been late for anything in their lives, and would secretly quite like to invade Europe, even if they have to do it via the EU.<br />
<br />
German engineering is responsible for the most efficient gas chambers ever built.<br />
<br />
Of course much has changed since the dark days of the Third Reich and the modern German is now a model of tolerance and open-mindedness. Integration has replaced invasion as the watchword and today's German citizens take great pride in their country's place at the very heart of the EU.<br />
<br />
Or so it says on the German tourist leaflets. Try creeping up behind one though and yelling ''Heil Hitler!'' in his ear... and it's like the past 60 years never happened.
