I was so remarkably lucky and privileged to work with the powerful Chris Meloni; America's No. 1 sex detective Mariska Hargitay, who is beyond a sister to me; the coolest partner on the globe, Ice-T; Dann Florek the total pro; my brother from another mother Dean Mayhemm" Winters; the always classy Danny Pino; Kelli Giddish, my favorite Southern belle; and the elegant Raúl Esparza.
Excessive carbon emissions by richer countries change the climate, warming the globe, melting ice, raising sea-levels and flooding some of the poorest countries in the world.
By the late Cretaceous, the globe was ice free and a greenhouse climate resulted in elevated sea levels and further isolation of the splitting continents.
Let's think of how this evidence slowly began to mount across the scientific community, how it came into focus from data points across the globe, from ice sheets and tree rings to physical measurements.
Now researchers may have found a surprising trigger for the rise of animals: globe-girdling ice ages that threatened to wipe out all life on Earth.
Of course, they never said how far into the future we'd have to go before everyone would be eating cryogenically frozen globes of ice cream in our spacesuits.
But three large moons of Jupiter have oceans of their own, lying beneath kilometers of globe-encasing ice.
Thanks to the globe-warming, ice-melting effects of human-generated greenhouse gases, however, that shape is now changing.
At the other end of the globe, the Arctic ice cap has been melting at a shocking rate; the extent of the summer ice is now only a little more than half of what it was just forty years ago.
As the globe warms, sea ice cover is declining in the Arctic; that's why polar bears, which hunt from the ice, are in trouble.
