[While not physically as strong, the women realized they had certain other advantages in competing against men stuck together for weeks in the tropics -- including the strategic use of a string bikini.] The women knew they could manipulate them, ... and the men were ready to be manipulated.

Jeff Probst

We don't support any kind of activism or anything like that. It's mainly just research. And we send students from the U.S. to the tropics to the Organization for Tropical Studies where they do semesters of research on tropics, on tropical research and frogs and amphibians of all kinds.

Andrew Crosby

In the future, pollution in the tropics will increase, so we'd better understand it now. The chemistry in the tropics is severely under sampled.

National Center

The pattern raises the alarm, however, that these species face two challenges that increase the risk of extinction: habitat destruction, which is occurring at alarming rates in the tropics, and reduced pollinator activity.

Susan Mazer

But it turned out to work with various themes, such as Mardi Gras and the '50s, and now the tropics this year, so we just kept Heart Rock. I think it has some equity now.

Jean Mcmath

We know the chief sources of the warming — fossil fuels and, in the tropics, the burning of trees for cooking — but we haven't moved to stop it, ... It really isn't that difficult to begin reducing carbon emissions, as Europe and Japan are doing already. We could certainly put a cap on the quantity of greenhouse gases industry can emit.

Peter Goldmark

Ecologists have debated for decades whether there is ecological value to species diversity. We found that in forests throughout the New and Old World tropics, older trees are more diverse than younger ones. In other words, diversity is actually selected for as each of the forests matures. This means diversity does indeed matter and is an essential property of these complex ecosystems.

Christopher Wills

The pattern raises the alarm, however, that species in species-rich regions face two challenges that increase the risk of extinction: habitat destruction, which is occurring at alarming rates in the tropics, and reduced pollinator activity.

Susan Mazer

This is a minor correction of three-hundredths of a degree, concentrated in the tropics. The satellite data still suggest warming well below the levels the alarmists trumpet. Real-world data, as opposed to theoretical models, continue to point to a modest warming that humanity can easily adapt to.

Iain Murray

As summer in the northern hemisphere progresses, you see lightning moving farther north. You see a similar pattern in the southern hemisphere, but not so pronounced because there isn't as much land outside the tropics.

Hugh Christian

It's a challenge of weather of extremes in conditions from ice to absolute unbelievable heat of the tropics and the opposition around you all of the time.

Grant Dalton

You go to most rural areas of the tropics where malaria kills children and most are using drugs that are not effective.

Nick White

I thought, `This is a good idea. I'll get to live in the tropics and when the dust all settles, I'll have a couple million dollars.' That's not even a good month for me anymore. Bodog has killed my expectations, turning into more than I ever even contemplated.

Calvin Ayre

Cirrus clouds are like a blanket. They trap heat in the system. That energy has to escape somehow. If enough energy is trapped and stored in the system, it can escape from the tropical ocean in the form of a hurricane, or in a big rain event like a 'Pineapple Express,' which is a deep flow of moisture in the tropics like we recently had hit the East Coast.

Jay Mace

It sounds like maybe a good-news story with respect to temperature and climate change, but raises the question about RSV epidemics that occur in the tropics, where temperatures are always much higher.
