that might be happening deep beneath our feet. Fracking's biggest controversy, though, is happening above the ground. The general consensus is that burning natural gas is better for the environment than burning coal since the gas collected from fracking emits only half the carbon dioxide as coal

The sonic boom problem -...
As it overtakes sound waves it has emitted, while generating new ones from its current position, the waves are forced together, forming a Mach cone. No sound is heard as it approaches an observer because the object is traveling faster than the sound it produces.

which are pressed to squeeze out the water, and create a firm cheese. Different strains of bacteria make different kinds of cheese. For example, a species of bacteria that emits carbon dioxide is what gives swiss cheese its characteristic holes.

Curie soon found that the element thorium emitted similar radiation. Most importantly, the strength of the radiation depended solely on the element's quantity, and was not affected by physical or chemical changes.

Sara Pascoe
English Comedian
It's interesting that reading, like listening to podcasts, is a lone pursuit, one where we keep our mouths shut and let someone else do the talking. Where we absorb rather than emit. By occasionally isolating ourselves, we can more successfully, more generously, socialise.
Quote examples
Sherlyn Chopra
I have read somewhere that every thought in the human mind has a frequency. And it emits a certain kind of energy. And the Universe responds to the energy accordingly. No wonder why it is the thought that leads to action and not vice versa.
Quote examples
Stephen Hawking
English Physicist
My discovery that black holes emit radiation raised serious problems of consistency with the rest of physics. I have now resolved these problems, but the answer turned out to be not what I expected.
Quote examples
Andrew Weil
American Scientist
Shorter daylight hours can affect sleep, productivity and state of mind. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, may help. It uses light boxes emitting full-spectrum light to simulate sunlight.

Iliza Shlesinger
American Comedian
There should be an F.A.A. fine for those who bring hot food that emits odor onto the plane. You're deemed selfish, and you have to take some sort of social awareness class.

Charles Baudelaire
French Poet
Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.

Pierre Poilievre
Canadian Politician
If the carbon tax really was about saving the world, we would presume the largest industrial emitters of carbon would have to pay it.

Henry Paulson
American Public Servant
China and the U.S. are the two largest importers of oil. They are the two largest emitters of carbon.

Are not rays of light very small bodies emitted from shining substances?
