The social reformer and suffragist Edna Brush Perkins, in her marvellous travelogue "The White Heart of Mojave," wrote about the romance of wandering in the desert, and, potentially, disappearing into it: We felt able to take care of ourselves — could there be a more pathetic and blind faith?
Similarly, I can't support intensive commercial breeding of tigers for public display: not when the animals suffer, not when there's no conservation benefit, and not when the tigers of Sumatra are critically endangered, numbering around 500--and potentially disappearing forever.
"This leaves 140 auto component firms with 33,000 direct jobs and conservatively another 70,000 that are dependent on the sector, potentially disappearing by 2018," Xenophon said.
If you look out your window and count six species and think that one of those will potentially disappear, that's quite profound," said the study's author, Mark C Urban, of the University of Connecticut.
Accordingly, the production of a flow regulator causes impacts of 8.5 ml freshwater depletion, 1.4 × 10−13 DALY, and 4.8 × 10−6 potentially disappeared fractions of species (PDF *m2 a.
Accordingly, the production of a flow regulator causes 8.5 ml freshwater depletion, 1.4 × 10−13 disability adjusted life years, and 4.8 × 10−6 potentially disappeared fractions of species m2 a.
Most of the areas with the highest plant species richness of the study area potentially disappear when their niche envelopes are mapped using the bioclimatic model with the climate forecasted for year 2050.
The units used to quantify these categories are: DALY, disability adjusted life years, for human health, PDF m2 year, potentially disappeared fraction multiplied by area and years, for ecosystem quality, kilogram CO2 equivalents, for climate change, and MJ primary energy for the resource depletion category.
I think a long time ago I accepted the fact that he lives a high-risk lifestyle, and that he could potentially disappear one day.
They break down, melt, or are tossed in the trash, and could potentially disappear from public consciousness forever, leaving behind but a foggy memory.
I think a long time ago I accepted the fact that he lives such a high risk lifestyle, he could potentially disappear one day.
