European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 25, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 6 a the stars and stripes wednesday thursday december 25/26,1991 world s weather expected to Cool off into mid-1990s by the new York times the Earth a climate appears to be entering a new phase. After a record warming in 1990, the average temperature of the Globe has dropped slightly in 1991, thanks to a moderating trend that began in the Early fall. Climatologists say the trend could be the Start of a cooler period which they expect will result As sunlight is locked by Haze thrown into the atmosphere by the eruption last june of the mount Pinatubo Volcano in the Philippines. New calculations suggest the Haze will cause a dramatic global Cooling whose full Force will be Felt in late 1992, raising the Odds in favor of colder Winters and cooler Summers until about the Middle of this decade. After that the calculations suggest the warming of the 1980s will resume. But How the weather will develop in any Given Region or locality in any Given season during the time of volcanic Cooling is subject to a welter of natural interacting atmospheric forces that can overwhelm any longer term global tendency. Scientists say that one of the most powerful of those forces is now coming into play. Al Nino the huge Pool of extra warm seawater that periodically appears in the Eastern part of the tropical Pacific Ocean is poised to set off a Chain of atmospheric events that scientists expect will affect the weather in Many parts of the world including the United states. While Al Ninon a effects this time Are expected to be Milder than in 1982 and 1983, scientists say they will be noticed nonetheless. In 1982-83, sea surface temperatures even higher than current ones pumped More Energy into the atmosphere touching off a climatic Chain reaction that brought disastrous drought to some parts of the world and flooding Rains to others. While the global climate has warmed by nearly 1 degree fahrenheit in the last Century most scientists say it is too Early to Tell whether the warming has been caused by the heat trapping gases or by natural factors. Climatologists almost to a person have been saying that the global Haze of tiny droplets of sul uric acid and water produced by mount Pinatubo a gaseous Cloud will exert a marked Cooling effect on the planet. Now one of them or. James e. Hansen of the Nasa Goddard Institute of space studies in new York has attempted to calculate its magnitude and timing. He reported this month that based on a computerized simulation of the global climate he had placed the expected Cooling at about 1 degree fahrenheit a about enough to cancel out temporarily the global warming that has taken place in the last 100 years. The Cooling is expected by the end of next year. By Way of comparison the Earth has warmed by about 9 degrees since to hts end of the last ice age. The main Impact of the Cooling he  be to delay by several years the time when global warming caused by the increase in heat trapping gases becomes obvious. Hopeful people More Likely to overcome barriers study says by the new York times psychologists Are finding that Hope plays a surprisingly potent role in giving people a measurable advantage in realms As diverse As academic achievement bearing up in onerous jobs and coping with tragic illness. A Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we be done so far a said or. Charles r. Snyder a psychologist at the University of Kansas who has devised a scale to assess a persons Hope. In research with 3,920 College students Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of Hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a More accurate predictor of their grades than were their sat scores or their Grade Point average in High school. A students with High Hope set themselves higher goals and know How to work to attain them Quot Snyder said. People who score High on the Hope scale Are understandably better Able to Bear up in dire circumstances other researchers Are finding. In a study of 57 people with paralysis from spinal Cord injury those no reported More Hope compared with those having Little Hope had less depression greater mobility despite similar Levels of injury More social contacts and even More sexual intimacy. A those with High Hope were More adaptive in All realms regardless of How Long they had been injured whether just a month or 40 years a said or. Timothy Elliott a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Elliott also studied Levels of Hope in 81 rehabilitation nurses who care for paralysis patients. A these can be terribly difficult cases to work with because they often Lake out their anger and disappointment on nursing staff Quot Elliott said. Among the nurses those who had higher Levels of Hope reported fewer symptoms of burnout Elliott said. Quot Hope lends a sense of existential meaning to a Hattie tends a sense of existential meaning to what you do a or Timothy Elliott you do a a Elliott said. In devising a Way to assess Hope Snyder went beyond the simple notion that Hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out All right. A that notion is not Concrete enough and it blurs two key components of Hope a Snyder said. A having Hope Means believing you have both the will and the Way to accomplish your  the scale assesses Peoples sense of having the essential Means by asking for instance whether they typically find they can think of Many ways to get out of a Jam. Snyder found that people with High Levels of Hope share several attributes a they turn to friends for advice on How to achieve their goals. A they Tell themselves they can succeed at what they need to do. A even in a tight spot they Tell themselves things will get better As time goes on. A they Are flexible enough to find different ways to get to their goals. A if Hope for one goal fades they aim for another. Snyder and his colleagues Are trying to design programs to help children develop the ways of thinking found in hopeful people. New Law targets Deadbeat tenants Salt Lake City a the Salt Lake City Council on monday voted to override a mayoral veto and passed a Law that allows landlords to criminally prosecute tenants who defraud them of rent.
