Incubation period 
 Even though the person with HIV has no symptoms, the virus is making copies of itself during the incubation period.
Incubation period 
 Because of this, an incubation period is always written as a range (for example, "one to three days").

Climate change 
 It is not a fixed value: it is affected by variations in the Sun and in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and by activities of the planet's life-forms.
Climate change 
 Climate change this century and last century is sometimes called global warming, because the average temperature on the surface has risen.
Climate change 
 At times in the past, the temperature was much cooler, with the Ice Age ending about ten thousand years ago.
Climate change 
 Over longer time periods, climate change may be caused by variations in the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Climate change 
 In common use, especially in environmental policy, "climate change" usually refers to rapid changes in the climate over recent decades.
Climate change 
 These climate changes are due primarily to human-caused generation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere (see global warming).
Climate change 
 Joseph Fourier in 1824, Claude Poulliet in 1827 and 1838, Eunace Foote (18191888) in 1856, Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820–1893) in 1863 onwards, Svante Arrhenius in 1896, and Guy Stewart Callendar (1898–1964) are credited with discovering the importance of CO2 in climate change.
Climate change 
 The change is so small that scientists can barely measure how it affects the temperature of the Earth.
Climate change 
 But the air in the upper stratosphere is actually getting colder, so scientists do not think changes in the sun are causing the global warming which is happening now.
Gro Harlem Brundtland 
 In 2007, she became a Special Envoy for Climate Change for the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
