In the movie Waterworld, global warming has led to the complete melting of Earth’s ice caps and glaciers. The sea level has risen so much that a very small portion of the land remains above sea level.

1. How would the global annual temperature range of the Earth be affected by a greater coverage by oceans? Would it be a greater or lower annual range compared to what it is now? Explain.

Bit of a random question - but I've just been reading on the BBC website about the recent Chinese anti satelite rocket test. Apparently they hit a target well above the ISS, but it got me wondering -

Is the International Space Station insured?
If a bit of debris flew off from their recent test and damaged the structure would the Chiniese be liable?
Finally is the station fully comp or just third party?!!!!

I have just finished a short-term 11 day course of Prednisone. 40mg for 5 days, 30mg for 3days, etc. The heartbeat thing didn't start right away, maybe the 4th day or so. It increased with each day. I took my last dose, 10mg, yesterday, and now am unable to do normal routine things around the house like washing dishes. My heartbeat is so pronounced and feels like its coming out of my chest. It's a sort of watery kind of raspy beat. Very scary. I called my heart doctor and she assured me it was normal. Somehow I just don't feel convinced. How long does it take for the Prednisone to leave the body? Has anyone experienced the same condition and what was the outcome?
