  • Why do we keep ignoring the manmade climate change issue, when we have more than enough evidence?

    The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with 16 of the 17 warmest years on record occurring since 2001. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months.

    The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.

    Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.

    Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century.

    Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades.

    The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events.

  • Why do people keep ignoring the Global warming issue?

    I'm honestly worried about this, because if we don't act soon, it might be to late when we decide to change.

  • I have a low EQ(emotional quocient) and i have problems talking with people,what can I do to help myself?

    Some time ago I did an IQ and an EQ tests, and I was told that I have an 143 IQ and a low EQ. I already knew that I had problems talking with people, including the person I love.

    It's really hard not being able to talk to someone you love, and I'm pretty sure she likes me too, but I just can't start a conversation, and I know the kind of things she likes.

    Please give me some good advice, I really need help, there was a time that I felt so low, that I considered taking my own life...
