As the Earth gets hotter, more water will evaporate from the oceans and rain will be more abundant. Yet Lovelock predicts, under global heating, much of the land on Earth below the Arctic Circle will be turned to dry desert as you can see in this figure from the book:

Please explain the apparent contradiction.

When we were kids, we would take Wint-O-Green Lifesavers (at least I think it was Wint-O-Green... may have been Spearmint or Peppermint) and go into a dark room. When we would bite down, with our mouths open, we could clearly see sparks and flashes as the candy broke up. And the same thing with masking tape. We'd take it into the dark room, and pull a strip of tape off of the roll, quickly and firmly, and we'd see a bright glow along the interface where the tape pulled-away from the surface of the roll.
What causes this?

Can anyone please explain how to do this type of problem?

I know the slope would be 5/2 because the slope is perpendicular, but the fact that it is a fraction confuses me.
