VS1 - VS2: You can see flaws with a 10X microscope, but it takes a long time (more than about 10 seconds). SI1 - SI2: You can see flaws with a 10X microscope. I1 - I3: You can see flaws with the naked eye. Consider avoiding I2-I3 diamonds. REMEMBER: For grades IF through SI, a diamond's clarity grade has an impact on the diamond's value, not on the unmagnified diamond's appearance. While Flawless diamonds are the rarest, a diamond does not have to be flawless to be stunning.
Global Warming affects us all, every living thing. Understanding the risks and what can be done to stem Global Warming effects are being addressed at all levels â individual, community, government agency and organization and at the international level. Below you will find some information about who is doing what.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different gases. Specifically, it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of 1 ton of a gas will absorb over a given period of time, relative to the emissions of 1 ton of carbon dioxide (CO2). The larger the GWP, the more that a given gas warms the Earth compared to CO2 over that time period.
