Clinton, the second president in American history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term. In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern. Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual encounters in the White House.
Scientists use âglobal warmingâ in a precise way, to mean âa tendency for the globe to warm over a given periodâ. There is a great deal of scientific study focused on climate change, and the majority of scientists agree that the average global temperature is increasing.
What was new was that we were able, using the same set of data, to also test alternative hypotheses that other people hadnât looked at.â. One hypothesis suggests that global warming is the result of whatâs called internal climate variability, or changes in the interactions between the oceans and the atmosphere. In this case, itâs suggested, temperatures are rising because they are drawing heat from deep within the oceans. That can certainly happen, he says, pointing to El NiÃ±o, a warming of the waters in the equatorial Pacific that affects climate around the world.
