Two intriguing observations emerge from these two scenarios.

At the moment, China watchers are focusing on two scenarios.

Although no new project is in sight, two basic scenarios appear possible.

When either of these two scenarios is lacking, American initiatives are stillborn.

Either of the second two scenarios would increase dramatically the likelihood of Russia s eventual disintegration.

As a result, holders of dollar denominated assets should be looking forward to two alternative scenarios.

Two scenarios for the timing of an interim compromise are possible, depending on whether it is a one or two step process.

Two diametrically opposed scenarios exist for what will happen to global real interest rates over the next generation.

There now seem to be two scenarios for women s future status in Egypt, neither of which is very hopeful.

Under two plausible scenarios both concerning China the unwinding of global imbalances could cause regional if not global depression.

Yet talks between the US and China on climate change currently present two contrasting scenarios, one hopeful, the other discouraging.

All scenarios are open.

In the medium term, the two governments should work out a formula for coping with scenarios that now play out regularly.

Its members agreed that there could be nightmare scenarios that combine the two and might require the preventive use of force.

Consider the following three scenarios.

The two most likely scenarios, then, are government continuity or predictable change (the right has been expected to capture the presidency for years).

These hard landing scenarios are extreme.

So I went and had a look at the numbers over on www.internetworldstats.com to see what they could tell us about these two scenarios.

Two IEA climate policy scenarios show how we could stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases at 550 or 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent.

Several scenarios existed for the period after the pilot phase, one of which was its extension beyond two years another was a change in criteria.

Even the most pessimistic impact scenarios of the U.N.

Looking back at 60 years of American involvement in the region, one can discern two scenarios in which the United States can bring the local players to an agreement.

Proposals for bond exchanges at par, quasi par or discounted values were divided in two scenarios, depending on whether bond holder participation was below or above 70 per cent.

For the sake of consistency with the two previous scenarios, the impact of five variants with changing weights for the factors and with changing base figures has been considered.

But that should not prevent us from exploring all scenarios.

Determining the future international status of the renminbi and Shanghai must begin with a calculation of China s expected relative economic strength vis à vis the US under two plausible scenarios.

Of the four scenarios, the first has caused the greatest unease.

The current operational and tactical scenarios required robust rules of engagement.

The socio economic, cultural, technological and institutional scenarios of receiving countries.

Even the worst case scenarios proposed by mainstream climate scientists scenarios that go far beyond what the consensus climate models predict are not as bad as Gore would have us believe.

They created the scenarios using outputs from equilibrium and or transient GCMs.

Some Parties (e.g. Botswana, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Saint Lucia, Sudan, Tunisia) reported on methods used to project the level of future emissions using business as usual and one or two abatement or sequestration scenarios.

The report was drawn up by experts from almost all OAS member states, and was divided into two parts an excellent analytical section, and a brief and somewhat exasperating chapter devoted to future scenarios.

Nevertheless, it is not hard to imagine scenarios in which the dollar collapses.

Obsession with doom and gloom scenarios distracts us from the real global threats.

But we quickly become desensitized, requiring ever more outrageous scenarios to move us.

But none of the various nightmare scenarios materialized, which augurs hope for the future.

Overview of information Climate change impacts and vulnerability Most Parties reported in various degrees of detail on baselines (climate and socio economic) and climate change scenarios, although many Parties indicated difficulties in using socio economic scenarios.

There are at least four possible Asian security scenarios for the years and decades ahead.

They assigned probabilities of 65 to rosy scenarios that materialized only 15 of the time.

They assigned probabilities of 70 to bleak scenarios that materialized only 12 of the time.

So the Kremlin blinds its citizens with rosy scenarios, while the Internet over dramatizes reality.

In both scenarios, US employment would not increase and the trade deficit would not diminish.

The researchers have painstakingly sifted more than 160 scenarios, including in depth examinations of four.
