It does not deliver new facts and figures, but instead provides a new perspective on the existential risks associated with anthropogenic global warming. It is the critical overview of well-informed intellectuals who sit outside the climate-science community which has developed over the last fifty years. All such expert communities are prone to what the French call deformation professionelle and the German betriebsblindheit. Expressed in plain English, experts tend to establish a peer world-view which becomes ever more rigid and focussed. Yet the crucial insights regarding the issue in question may lurk at the fringes, as BY HANS JOACHIM SCHELLNHUBER this report suggests. This is particularly true when Hans Joachim Schellnhuber is a professor of theoretical the issue is the very survival of our civilisation, physics specialising in complex systems and nonlinearity, where conventional means of analysis may become founding director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate useless.

    Limited Appearance Statement Of

    July 26, 2013 By US Mail Commissioner Allison M. Macfarlane U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop 0-16G4 Washington, DC 20555 Dear Allison M. Macfarlane, Enclosed is a copy of "Generating Influence," Common Cause/New York's comprehensive study of Entergy Corporation's political spending and public relations campaign to secure new operating licenses for the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan, New York. As you are well aware, Entergy is currently in the late stages of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license renewal process that began in 2007. While Common Cause takes no position on the relicensing of Indian Point, we strongly believe that the final decision should be based on objective analysis of the costs and benefits and not unduly shaped by the well-funded lobbying, campaign contributions, and publicity campaigns of Entergy Corporation. As such, it is crucial that NRC officials are fully aware of the extraordinary extent to which the appearance of "public support" for the Indian Point nuclear power plant appears to have been generated by the deceptive strategies of Entergy Corporation. In addition to the "inside game" of lobbying and campaign contributions, Entergy has engaged in an extensive "outside game" of public relations and grassroots "astroturfing" strategies. From making targeted campaign contributions and hiring former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to appear in an advertising campaign, to cultivating influential"front group" coalitions of business interests, unions, local political leaders, and non-profits (NY AREA and SHARE), Entergy is working the full spectrum of lobbying and publicity strategies in an all-out effort to keep Indian Point open.

Second supervisor University of Twente Humorous advertisements & motivational values / 3 Abstract This study examines the effects of different humor tool groups in TV advertisements for customers with different motivational values (Schwartz, 1999). By making use of eighteen different advertisements, the data has been randomly collected by administering questionnaires to students in the Netherlands and in Nepal. After adjusting for control scores, a total of 517 response sets have been used. Results show that humorous advertisements can lead to higher purchase intentions. Considering customers’ motivational values, marketers should keep in mind that customers, who value benevolence, have a less positive attitude towards the advertisement and brand image after they have seen an advertisement containing a humor tool 2 (ludicrousness, irony, understatement); and a less positive attitude towards the brand when they value hedonism and have seen an advertisement containing a humor tool from humor tool group 3 (pun). After re-categorization of the advertisements to the humor categories non-offensive/offensive, the results show that people who value benevolence have a less positive attitude towards the advertisement after seeing an advertisement with non- offensive humor.
