• Soils could also be giving up their carbon stores: evidence emerged in 2005 that a vast expanse of western Siberia was undergoing an unprecedented thaw. The region, the largest frozen peat bog in the world, had begun to melt for the first time since it formed 11,000 years ago. Scientists believe the bog could begin to release billions of tonnes of methane locked up in the soils, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The World Meteorological Organisation recently reported the largest annual rise of methane levels in the atmosphere for a decade.

• Barna is correct when he writes, "After fifteen years of diligent digging into the world around me, I have reached several conclusions about the future of the Christian church in America. The central conclusion is that the American church is dying due to lack of strong spiritual leadership. In this time of unprecedented opportunity and plentiful resources, the church is actually losing influence. The primary reason is the lack of leadership. Nothing is more important than leadership."7

• Como médico y senador estadounidense, he advertido desde el principio sobre muchos aspectos preocupantes del mandato de seguro médico sin precedentes del Sr. Obama.

• In the 1920s the young English physicist Paul Dirac began trying to understand and describe the space-time evolution of the electron, the first elementary particle discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897. Dirac was puzzled by an unprecedented property of space-time, discovered by Lorentz in his studies of electromagnetic forces, whereby if space was real, time had to be imaginary, and vice versa. In other words, space and time had to be a ‘complex’ mixture of two quantities, one real and the other imaginary.

• La moral y la mentalidad del mercado, alimentadas por el imperativo económico de obtener beneficios a cualquier precio, generan unos niveles de soledad, aislamiento y tristeza sin precedentes. Y nuestra vida pública yace en ruinas, atravesada por un cinismo glacial y un pesimismo paralizante. Por decirlo sin rodeos, bajo los récords bursátiles de Wall Street y los acuerdos bipartidistas para equilibrar el presupuesto en la Casa Blanca se esconden ominosas nubes de desesperación en todo el país.

• Tras el rescate de 700.000 millones de dólares, el estímulo de un billón de dólares y el enorme proyecto de ley presupuestaria con más de 9.000 asignaciones, muchos de ustedes imploraron a Washington que por favor dejara de gastar dinero que no tenemos. Pero en lugar de recortar, asistimos a una explosión sin precedentes del gasto público y de la deuda. No se parece a nada que hayamos visto antes en la historia del país.

• The system of patriarchy is a historic construct; it has a beginning; it will have an end. Its time seems to have nearly run its course—it no longer serves the needs of men or women and in its inextricable linkage to militarism, hierarchy, and racism it threatens the very existence of life on earth. What will come after, what kind of structure will be the foundation for alternate forms of social organization we cannot yet know. We are living in an age of unprecedented transformation. We are in the process of becoming.

• Is the warming unprecedented? Probably not. There is abundant historical and proxy evidence for both hotter and cooler periods in human history. Is it our fault? Again, maybe. The correlation of increasing warmth with increasing carbon dioxide concentrations is particularly weak; that with solar energy and with ocean movements is much stronger.
