Up and down the the East Coast, from Atlanta to Baltimore to Cleveland to Boston, an unusual warm spell broke temperature records. While everyone enjoys t-shirt weather in February, this week\u2019s mild weather is an ominous sign of global climate change. When heat makes history, it tends to bear a human fingerprint. Carbon pollution from cars, trucks, factories, farms, and power plants is trapping heat, driving up temperatures around the world.

Chicken and rice Deposit Photos Open the fridge in most South Asian households, and you will find a tub of thick, creamy yogurt. But this isn\u2019t the sweet stuff that you eat for breakfast with granola and a rainbow array of fruit. It\u2019s the secret ingredient in savory meat dishes like chicken tikka and skewers of tender kebabs. Cooks from South Asia marinate meat in a blend of yogurt and spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger and garlic pastes. The technique is common in several dishes from the subcontinent, although it\u2019s not particularly prevalent in other East Asian, Arab, or European dishes. A fermented dairy product also makes up a key ingredient in that classic American comfort food: fried chicken. Before breading and frying pieces of the meat, an overnight soak in buttermilk and poultry seasonings ensures it will be perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. But why do certain recipes call for dairy-based marinades at all? The answer comes down to acid: The lactic acid in fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and buttermilk, react with the proteins in meat at the molecular level. Although the research behind this technique isn\u2019t exhaustive or definitive, there are a few theories about what\u2019s going on, says Ted Russin, the dean of the Culinary Institute of America\u2019s food science program. A chemist by training, Russin says he thinks of meat as a gel, \u201ca wad of water held in a protein matrix.\u201d Yogurt and buttermilk both contain acids that break down that protein wall. As the meat becomes more acidic, it can absorb more moisture. Think of it like a dry sponge that gets soft and squishy once you add water. At the same time, the acidity of dairy speeds up chemical reactions. This makes it easier for enzymes already present in the meat to break down proteins from the inside out. It also leads to the breakdown of collagen, which is what gives meat\u2014and living skin tissue\u2014its rigid structure, Russin says. An acidic marinade thus softens meat by increasing its water content and breaking down its structure\u2014and science backs that up. In one study, researchers coated meat in an lactic acid and measured the pH at different intervals. The more acidic the meat was, the softer it became in comparison to a tougher and chewier chunk of beef that served as a control. But before you start whipping up a yogurt marinade, be aware of a crucial pitfall. In a different study, researchers tried soaking large chunks of beef in lactic or acetic acid. When they tested the meat, they found that the pH level on its surface was a full unit lower than the pH inside, meaning that the marinade hadn\u2019t really seeped into it. Russin says you can counteract that problem in a few ways. \u201cMarinades can literally be injected with pins into the center of the meat,\u201d he says. As an alternative, he suggests you can vacuum tumble the meat, a process where you vacuum-seal a piece of meat in marinade and then suddenly open the package. The pressure change forces the liquid deeper into the chunk of steak or lamb. However, most of us don\u2019t have access to a professionally-equipped kitchen. To achieve similar results at home, Russin advises, cut your meat into flat pieces about a quarter-inch thick. Then leave the meat in the marinade for at least a few hours, or up to a day. (Any longer than that, and you start running into shelf-life problems.) Ready to test out the science in your kitchen laboratory? Here\u2019s one of my personal favorite recipes, as told to me by family members. It makes incredibly tender and flavorful chicken kebabs that you soak in a yogurt-based marinade before cooking. Chicken dinner Yogurt-marinated meat with all the fixings Amal Ahmed How to make chicken kebabs Tools Large bowl Knife Cutting board Refrigerator Wooden or metal skewers Barbecue grill or oven Ingredients 2-3 tablespoons of plain, thick (Greek or Indian-style) yogurt 1 tablespoon of olive oil \u00bd teaspoon ginger paste 1 teaspoon garlic paste Juice of half a lime or lemon 2-3 tablespoons of a Shan Masala brand kebab seasoning blend, like Tikka Seekh Kebab or Tikka Boti (Be forewarned: These blends are fairly spicy, even for seasoned taste buds! A few spoonfuls should be more than enough for smaller batch of meat.) 2 pounds of chicken breasts Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the chicken. Cube the chicken breasts and add the pieces to the marinade, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate the bowl for at least three hours, or overnight. Skewer the chicken on wooden or metal skewers. For best results, grill the chicken in a barbecue until it\u2019s cooked through (this takes about 15 minutes).

Chicken and rice Deposit Photos Open the fridge in most South Asian households, and you will find a tub of thick, creamy yogurt. But this isn\u2019t the sweet stuff that you eat for breakfast with granola and a rainbow array of fruit. It\u2019s the secret ingredient in savory meat dishes like chicken tikka and skewers of tender kebabs. Cooks from South Asia marinate meat in a blend of yogurt and spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger and garlic pastes. The technique is common in several dishes from the subcontinent, although it\u2019s not particularly prevalent in other East Asian, Arab, or European dishes. A fermented dairy product also makes up a key ingredient in that classic American comfort food: fried chicken. Before breading and frying pieces of the meat, an overnight soak in buttermilk and poultry seasonings ensures it will be perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. But why do certain recipes call for dairy-based marinades at all? The answer comes down to acid: The lactic acid in fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and buttermilk, react with the proteins in meat at the molecular level. Although the research behind this technique isn\u2019t exhaustive or definitive, there are a few theories about what\u2019s going on, says Ted Russin, the dean of the Culinary Institute of America\u2019s food science program. A chemist by training, Russin says he thinks of meat as a gel, \u201ca wad of water held in a protein matrix.\u201d Yogurt and buttermilk both contain acids that break down that protein wall. As the meat becomes more acidic, it can absorb more moisture. Think of it like a dry sponge that gets soft and squishy once you add water. At the same time, the acidity of dairy speeds up chemical reactions. This makes it easier for enzymes already present in the meat to break down proteins from the inside out. It also leads to the breakdown of collagen, which is what gives meat\u2014and living skin tissue\u2014its rigid structure, Russin says. An acidic marinade thus softens meat by increasing its water content and breaking down its structure\u2014and science backs that up. In one study, researchers coated meat in an lactic acid and measured the pH at different intervals. The more acidic the meat was, the softer it became in comparison to a tougher and chewier chunk of beef that served as a control. But before you start whipping up a yogurt marinade, be aware of a crucial pitfall. In a different study, researchers tried soaking large chunks of beef in lactic or acetic acid. When they tested the meat, they found that the pH level on its surface was a full unit lower than the pH inside, meaning that the marinade hadn\u2019t really seeped into it. Russin says you can counteract that problem in a few ways. \u201cMarinades can literally be injected with pins into the center of the meat,\u201d he says. As an alternative, he suggests you can vacuum tumble the meat, a process where you vacuum-seal a piece of meat in marinade and then suddenly open the package. The pressure change forces the liquid deeper into the chunk of steak or lamb. However, most of us don\u2019t have access to a professionally-equipped kitchen. To achieve similar results at home, Russin advises, cut your meat into flat pieces about a quarter-inch thick. Then leave the meat in the marinade for at least a few hours, or up to a day. (Any longer than that, and you start running into shelf-life problems.) Ready to test out the science in your kitchen laboratory? Here\u2019s one of my personal favorite recipes, as told to me by family members. It makes incredibly tender and flavorful chicken kebabs that you soak in a yogurt-based marinade before cooking. Chicken dinner Yogurt-marinated meat with all the fixings Amal Ahmed How to make chicken kebabs Tools Large bowl Knife Cutting board Refrigerator Wooden or metal skewers Barbecue grill or oven Ingredients 2-3 tablespoons of plain, thick (Greek or Indian-style) yogurt 1 tablespoon of olive oil \u00bd teaspoon ginger paste 1 teaspoon garlic paste Juice of half a lime or lemon 2-3 tablespoons of a Shan Masala brand kebab seasoning blend, like Tikka Seekh Kebab or Tikka Boti (Be forewarned: These blends are fairly spicy, even for seasoned taste buds! A few spoonfuls should be more than enough for smaller batch of meat.) 2 pounds of chicken breasts Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the chicken. Cube the chicken breasts and add the pieces to the marinade, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate the bowl for at least three hours, or overnight. Skewer the chicken on wooden or metal skewers. For best results, grill the chicken in a barbecue until it\u2019s cooked through (this takes about 15 minutes). You can also pop the skewers into an oven preheated to 450\u00b0F for about 15 minutes, making sure to flip the skewers or switch to broil halfway through. If you opt for the oven, lay the skewers evenly on a baking tray covered in foil. Serve with naan or rice and a simple salad with cucumbers and tomatoes. If you feel confident in your lactose-digesting ability, you could also serve the dish with a yogurt-based dressing called raita. ","food spice DIY meat grilling recipes life upgrades","Amal Ahmed","

A new study suggests [doing or not doing the thing] might help you live longer. The research looked at a group of [probably a few thousand people, enough to make you think this is legit] and found that [whatever food or habit we\u2019re talking about either decreased risk of death or increased average lifespan] by [a small, but statistically significant, amount]. \u201cOur study found that [insert food\/habit] significantly [increases\/decreases] lifespan,\u201d says [lead study author], though s\/he cautions that [whatever they found could also be explained by a third factor]. The study didn\u2019t prove causation, but it did [insert a compelling statistic that people can cite to their friends]. It sounds so familiar because its an appealing story that draws people in. There\u2019s a reason that scientists study longevity and journalists like us cover their research. We all want a shortcut to living longer. Unfortunately, scientific work is far more nuanced than a single sentence can convey, and \u201ceating more nuts may or may not help you live longer, we\u2019ll probably never know\u201d isn\u2019t a compelling headline. If you search for enough correlations, eventually you'll find one. XKCD\/Randall Munroe Though there\u2019s plenty of valid research on how to live longer, most of what you hear about in the news is misleading at best. Most longevity research relies on following a group of people for decades, gathering whatever relevant information about each person that you can think of, and then analyzing that data to see which traits pop up in people who live the longest. There\u2019s not a lot of other ways to study aging because we simply don\u2019t know how long people live until they\u2019re dead. Longevity is also something you can\u2019t really design an experiment for. Or at least, not an experiment that allows you to determine causality. Practically\u2014not to mention ethically\u2014you can\u2019t tell a whole group of people to exercise three times a week for their whole adult lives, or eat exactly one square inch of chocolate per day, and then wait to see who lives the longest. There are just too many variables about a person\u2019s life that influence the length of their time here on Earth. Controlling for every single factor is next to impossible. In the end, it\u2019s not that the links you read about regularly are wrong, it\u2019s that they\u2019re just links. They\u2019re correlations, not causations. It may be true that people who eat oat bran every morning live longer, but we can\u2019t say that eating oat bran causes you to live longer. Maybe people who eat oat bran also tend to exercise more. Maybe they drink less. Maybe they\u2019re wealthier, and therefore have better access to healthcare. Maybe families with a genetic predisposition to longevity tend to eat more oat bran because they\u2019ve always chalked up their longevity to healthy eating. You get the idea. So here\u2019s a running list of misleading longevity studies and stories that you might encounter: February 2018: Drinking alcohol regularly Research showed that nonagenarians who drank 2 glasses of alcohol a day were more likely to live longer than their peers. These results are just small part of a much larger, ongoing research project focused on people who live past 90. The problem is that the study starts looking at people when they\u2019re 90, so anyone who dies earlier than that\u2014say, of liver damage from alcohol, or any of the myriad diseases that we know alcohol consumption increases your risk of getting\u2014you are automatically not included. And nonagenarians who don\u2019t drink at all, or drink infrequently may have given up alcohol for other health-related reasons. So really what these results tells us is that if you\u2019re already predisposed to living past 90 and can still drink regularly, you\u2019re likely to live longer. October 2017: Living near trees Despite the fact that researchers controlled for the effects of potential confounding factors like gender, location and air pollution, there\u2019s just no way they could control for everything. Yes, maybe being near nature makes you less stressed and therefore helps you age slower, but maybe people who live near nature are already less stressed. While the study found an overall benefit, the authors noted that coming from a lower-income household negated the longevity boost of living near a green space, indicating that other factors were certainly at play. By all means, move to be near trees, but don\u2019t expect them to make up for other life-shortening factors. July 2017: Drinking coffee Overall, coffee habits aren\u2019t bad for you. They might even be good for you. But this study fell prey to one of the classic blunders: if you go looking for a correlation, you can eventually find one. These researchers examined links between coffee drinking and a long list of specific cancers and heart problems, among many other diseases. There was absolutely no connection for most of those, but the list was long enough that they found a few correlations. And\u2014surprise, surprise\u2014those were the ones highlighted in the news coverage. August 2016: Reading Books Apparently if you just read 30 minutes a day, you can live incrementally longer. And the more you read, the more you seem to extend your life. But also reading periodicals didn\u2019t count. Books, specifically, do the trick. Look, it\u2019s true there are lots of wonderful reasons to read books, including the positive cognitive effects of regularly exercising your mind. It\u2019s also true that plenty of other habits that frequent readers might have could explain this link. Those who make time for novels may also watch less television and therefore be more physically active, or they may tend to eat healthier. Or maybe if you have time to read, you just have less stress. Either way, pick up a book for better reasons than your longevity. June 2014: Giving birth later in life There are a ton of hormonal changes that women go through during and after pregnancy, but not even the researchers believed that the mother\u2019s age changed how long she lived. Rather, they said, it was probably that women with \u201cgood\u201d aging genes are more likely to be able to have kids later in life. That just means that women who are still capable of giving birth at 35 seem to age slower. Don\u2019t wait to have kids just because you\u2019d like another couple years tacked onto your life.

THAICOM 8 first-stage engine core arriving in port. SpaceX SpaceX is known for its spaceships\u2014from the Dragon capsule that resupplies the space station, to the proposed interplanetary transport system. But it\u2019s the company's more traditional, water-going vessels that keep the lofty dreams of affordable spaceflight afloat. Take a closer look at SpaceX\u2019s non-space ships. A Falcon 9 engine core on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. SpaceX Droneships Before two of the Falcon Heavy engine cores could gracefully land on twin launchpads in a display rivaled only by synchronized divers, Elon Musk and the SpaceX team first had to prove their rockets could come back to Earth in a controlled and steady manner. While SpaceX\u2019s first touchdown in 2015 happened at Landing Zone 1 in Cape Canaveral, SpaceX still wanted to be able to softly land (and quickly recover) rockets on a floating platform in the ocean\u2014traditional landing pads are small and expensive, and the oceans are vast. SpaceX succeeded on April 8, 2016, landing the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Atlantic Ocean. Since then, landings on Of Course I Still Love You and its sister ship in the Pacific Just Read the Instructions have become more common, helping SpaceX reuse the expensive first-stage engine cores of its Falcon 9 rockets. The drone ships are especially important for launches carrying heavier loads to higher orbits, as the rockets use more fuel on those launches and have less available to guarantee a safe landing on dry ground. Though the landings get all the attention, the ships\u2014also called Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ships or ASDS\u2014are pretty amazing, too. Once towed into position (more on the tugs later) the drone ship's GPS and thrusters keep it in one place, waiting for the return of the rocket. The rockets aren\u2019t small, and these ships aren\u2019t either. They\u2019re modified barges about the size of a football field, with hulls 20 feet deep. Barges like this are typically used to haul cargo, but their large area also makes them a perfect landing pad for rockets. In 2015, when SpaceX was still anticipating its first landing, NASA Spaceflight reported on some of the extensive modifications used to turn barges into drone ships. The thrusters that keep the ship in place were repurposed from offshore oil rigs that used similar tech.

Mr. Steven Engine cores aren\u2019t the only important part of a rocket, and SpaceX wants to reuse as much of their equipment as possible. Being able to reuse a rocket makes space launches less expensive. SpaceX would like to be able to catch and re-use the fairing or nosecone of the rocket, which protects the payload (typically a satellite) from the intense forces of going through Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The fairing is also designed to help reduce drag on the rocket as it cuts through the air. It\u2019s an important job, and it doesn't come cheap. For SpaceX launches, the cost of the fairing is estimated at about $6 million. It splits in half as it releases a payload in space, and then those halves fall back to Earth. SpaceX has successfully landed these fairings in the ocean before, but Mr. Steven marks a more purposeful plan for recovery and eventual reuse. Musk says that they\u2019ve integrated thrusters and a guidance system into the fairing to help guide it safely back into the atmosphere, at which point a parafoil (think a parachute shaped like a wing) will deploy, and Mr. Steven will try to catch the nose cone in the steel and netting structure at the back of the ship. That\u2019s the idea, anyways. Thursday\u2019s attempt to catch the fairing with Mr. Steven missed by a few hundred meters, but Musk hopes that larger parachutes to slow down the fairing\u2019s descent might result in a successful catch next time.

SpaceX SpaceX is known for its spaceships\u2014from the Dragon capsule that resupplies the space station, to the proposed interplanetary transport system. But it\u2019s the company's more traditional, water-going vessels that keep the lofty dreams of affordable spaceflight afloat. Take a closer look at SpaceX\u2019s non-space ships. A Falcon 9 engine core on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. SpaceX Droneships Before two of the Falcon Heavy engine cores could gracefully land on twin launchpads in a display rivaled only by synchronized divers, Elon Musk and the SpaceX team first had to prove their rockets could come back to Earth in a controlled and steady manner. While SpaceX\u2019s first touchdown in 2015 happened at Landing Zone 1 in Cape Canaveral, SpaceX still wanted to be able to softly land (and quickly recover) rockets on a floating platform in the ocean\u2014traditional landing pads are small and expensive, and the oceans are vast. SpaceX succeeded on April 8, 2016, landing the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Atlantic Ocean. Since then, landings on Of Course I Still Love You and its sister ship in the Pacific Just Read the Instructions have become more common, helping SpaceX reuse the expensive first-stage engine cores of its Falcon 9 rockets. The drone ships are especially important for launches carrying heavier loads to higher orbits, as the rockets use more fuel on those launches and have less available to guarantee a safe landing on dry ground. Though the landings get all the attention, the ships\u2014also called Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ships or ASDS\u2014are pretty amazing, too. Once towed into position (more on the tugs later) the drone ship's GPS and thrusters keep it in one place, waiting for the return of the rocket. The rockets aren\u2019t small, and these ships aren\u2019t either. They\u2019re modified barges about the size of a football field, with hulls 20 feet deep. Barges like this are typically used to haul cargo, but their large area also makes them a perfect landing pad for rockets.

If the world gets warmer by two degrees Celsius, we\u2019re screwed. To prevent that, the United Nations signed the Paris Agreement, an international treaty designed to keep the average global temperature \u201cwell below 2\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels\u201d...A.K.A. what the Earth was like before factories started spewing greenhouse gases into the air. Over the last 20 years, that two-degree threshold has been referenced in policies and agreements made by the Council of the European Union, the G8 (now the G7), and more. So what makes two degrees so important? It all started in 1975\u2014with, surprisingly, an economist. Dr. William Nordhaus saw the warming planet as a threat to the global economy. He asked his colleagues in the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis\u2014a group that promotes scientific discovery across disciplines and international borders\u2014\u201c Can We Control Carbon Dioxide? \u201d Nordhaus said an increase in the global average temperature of 2\u00b0C (caused by man-made carbon dioxide) would change our climate in ways not seen for \u201cthe last several hundred thousand years.\u201d Where does an economist get 2\u00b0 from? Nordhaus didn\u2019t make it up, he based it on science. Since he knew carbon dioxide was warming the planet, Nordhaus calculated what would happen if the concentration in the atmosphere was doubled\u2014which equated a global increase of 2\u00b0. He also predicted that, at the then-current rates, we were headed for \u201cthe danger zone\u201d beyond 2\u00b0C around the year 2030. Over the next 20 years, scientists warned of the dangers of increasing temperatures due to man-made greenhouse gases. In 1992, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was established to stop dangerous human interference with the climate, but takes no firm limit on emissions or the rising global temperature. It took another four years for 2\u00b0 to appear in policy, and it came from the European Council of environment ministers. The United Nations did eventually ratify a two-degree limit in the Paris Agreement...in 2016\u2014more than 40 years after Nordhaus first discussed two degrees Celsius. Two degrees may not seem like a lot. You likely wouldn\u2019t notice a two-degree fluctuation during your average day. But climate change and global warming refer to long term trends. During the 20th century, the average global temperature was about 14\u00b0C, give or take a few tenths of a degree. Since 1880, the globe has warmed nearly a full degree, but over two-thirds of that increase occurred after 1975\u2014the year Nordhaus wrote his paper. And every year so far in the 21st century has been in the top 20 warmest years on record. The last time the Earth was as warm as it is now was over 11,000 years ago. Oceans covers 70% of our planet, and it takes a lot of energy to heat up that much water, not to mention the air and land. So a two-degree increase in the average global temperature means that temperature increases across the board are a lot more than 2\u00b0C. We\u2019re feeling the consequences of our actions\u2014it\u2019s why the weather seems weirder than it has in the past. Hurricane Harvey slammed Houston in 2017, and its unprecedented rainfall was 10 times more likely due to human-caused climate change. In fact, the National Climate Assessment recently concluded that extreme precipitation has \u201cincreased in every region of the contiguous states since the 1950s.\u201d Droughts and heat waves have also intensified, as is evident in California, which in recent years has seen less rain, drier soil, and the spread of wildfires. And if we warm by 2\u00b0C, the world will be a lot drier, which will impact economies, agriculture, infrastructure, and weather patterns. Rising temperatures will damage ecosystems and species that cannot adapt, including those in coral reefs and Arctic areas. Low-lying coastal regions and small islands worldwide are at risk of disappearing as sea levels rise due to the Greenland ice sheet and Arctic ice melting at continuously faster rates. 2 degrees celsius could determine the existence of whole nations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2014an organization that advises governments on the causes and impacts of climate change\u2014is now studying what the world would be like if average temperatures rise by three degrees, four degrees, or higher. It could lead to \u201csubstantial species extinctions, large risks to global and regional food security,\u201d and an inability to work outside\u2014and live\u2014in some areas of the world. Can countries like the United States, China, and India not just limit but reduce CO2 emissions in order to keep our planet below the 2\u00b0C mark? The outlook is grim. Studies based on IPCC data say there\u2019s a 95% chance we\u2019ll pass 2\u00b0C by the year 2100\u2014and the detrimental effects of climate change may be unavoidable.
