  2. The first COP, held in Berlin in 1995, had just under 4000 delegates. In Glasgow two years ago, 120 world leaders attended alongside 40,000 other registered participants. About 50,000 people gathered in Egypt last year. This year 100,000 are expected, nearly all will be flying.

  22. I'm sure we both mean the same thing. pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).
