First the planet began to warm at a rate 20 times faster than when it naturally comes out of an ice age.

Then the arctic ice melted at a record rate, 3 times faster than the IPCC projections.

Then atmospheric CO2 concentrations increased at a rate faster than IPCC projections.

Now Greenland ice is melting at a record rate.

How much more evidence will it take to convince skeptics that global warming is a serious problem?

Um, so... my friend made me a dating site profile for fun basically. Well because I haven't dated anyone since my last ex. Anyway I was bored so I searched through some profiles of girls in my area and emailed one. She replied back and we exchanged like ten emails since last night til now. I said we should talk on the phone if she wanted, and gave her my #. She then gave me hers and said "talking on the phone should be fun." Also she said I was making her blush by something I was saying. And I said "I'll need a well-needed break after my finals. We should watch a movie together next week." And made a little hug symbol after that. She said a movie sounds fun, sure and that we would figure out a time when we talk on the phone. Oh and she said I seemed outgoing and said that was very good bc I seem like a lot of fun.

Do you think she's into me and wanting to get to know me more?

If things go well would it be too fast to hold her hand during the movie and kiss at the end?

If you had a 23 year old responsible daughter who doesn't party, drink, use drugs, or hang out with the wrong crowd would you give her a curfew at night? If so what time would be reasonable?

I met my husband 2000... got married 2001 ...and had her son 2004. Everything seemed ok but my husband i very negative at times... pessimist in other words. I am a very happy person...always set goals and try to achieve them.. I was never controlled by anyone and always made my on decisions.Never was into boys etc...always career..and my husband knows and trusts me for that. But I am just getting tired of my wedding. I feel no interest in sex with him... I approach him for a slow dance or anything romantic..he just does'nt mke the effort... I am compromising for my child. I am 27 now and after the baby I gained a lotof weight...but gradually started to lose it and i feel so many unmarried men are attracted towards me.. I try to keep them at their place but sometimes getreally depressed that this is how i will be living for the rest of my life. Please dont suggest to talk to my husband...did that several times but he is very non serious about it..what should i do?

Would you date a woman who had a child with special needs? or would you think it was too much to handle? my husband is having a very hard time with the fact that we have a special needs son, and our son isnt even a serious case. I'm just wondering if a lot of men have issues like this.

Ok I saw that thing on yahoo about the clever ideas to propose. I got to thinking. Should it always be the man to do it? I have heard of women doing it. I think that by accustom that the man should do it. Not to sound sexist. That is just a tradition to me. What are your thoughts? Women can do it because I know they have every right as a man. But do you also think that it should be the man and follow the traditions?

I've been seeing a chiropractor for lower back pain who's told me that I have a weak iliac crest and suggested trying forearm crutches to alleviate the pressure I have to put on my pelvis when I walk. I'm also doing PT, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever even heard of crutches for back pain (more specifically, lower back/iliac muscle-whatever it is back pain)? Any success? I'm trying to find out of this is legit, because at this point I'm tired of my back aching all the time.

This is true brainwashing. Much different than laying out facts in a Science Classroom.

Many framers entered this convention with very firm beliefs on how they felt a new constitution and thus government should be constructed. Did the debates that took place in the convention ever change any of these people's minds from their original plans? Also, do you have any examples of such an occurance. They all seemed really stead fast in their original beliefs to me
