excuse me. Is there anyone who can help me write an essay? the following is the essay's hint:
The challenges this generation faces are unprecedented. The world today is confronted with major challenges for humanity in almost every area imaginable. They stem from or accompany substantial changes in the magnitude and intensity of international and global events. Most notable are the challenges presented by environmental changes i.e. global warming. Other topics of concern include; increased cultural conflicts, outbreak of infectious diseases, threat from the spread of nuclear weapons, as well as threats to long term sustainability of natural and human resources. In the past, mankind has overcome these problems through cooperation, innovation, and adaptation. We aim to help continue this tradition of co-existence.
write an essay, of 800 words or less, on an issue that engages them, that has implications for the future for both their local and/or the global community.The essay should include an overview of the issue including the cause, what effects it will have on humanity/society in the future, and possible solutions or resolutions to the issue.

Why not let the evidence just stand for itself? Why must these people insult me by calling me a fundamentalist nut, a member of the flat earth society, etc.,when all I am asking is that you provide the actual evidence (not just assertions that "thousands of scientists agree with my opinion..." or "hundreds of scientific papers have been published..." got any specifics?) that global warming is man made and that excessive carbon dioxide is directly linked to global warming? When people have to resort to rhetoric and rationalisation,they have nothing to support thier argument. Even if it does cause the earth's temperature to rise by a couple of degrees is there really anyone that believes that this will cause catastrophic, sudden changes? Should we believe the alarmist Hollywood nonsense junk science promoted in movies like "The Day After Tommorrow" ? Is there any real evidence that there will be catastrophic weather changes?

Getting water from the air has great importance insurvival if you are ever stranded in the woods. Take alarge black plastic garbage bag and cut one side open soyou can open it up to make one large flat piece. It willprobably be about three or four feet square. Dig a holeone foot deep and almost as wide as the spread out plasticbag. Put a shallow cup or bowl at the center of the hole.Stake each corner of the bag to cover the hole. Put apebble or small rock on the top of the bag to depress thebag’s center slightly, being sure not to let it sag deepenough to touch the container underneath. Using twothermometers, measure the temperature in the hole underthe bag and the outside air temperature. Condensation will form on the underside of the bag and will drip down intothe container if the outside air heats up and the airinside the hole remains cooler.

I understand that a few decades ago there was a ban on asbestos and billions of dollars were spent to remove asbestos and construct buildings without this product. However, asbestos are found, when using proper measures, to be an cost efficent and effective material. Does anyone have valid reasons why not to use asbestos (within proper measure) as a material in construction?

I read that if you drop a coin and an elephant from the same height that they will hit the ground at the same time, all items will fall at the same speed no matter on the weight.
well i dropped a coin and a feather off my balcony, and the feather landed ages after the coin, so surely the people who discovered this are wrong?
i want to try with an elephant and a coin to see, but i dont have an elephant and that would be cruel just to throw one of a balcony.
so what other items different in mass and size does this work with, and how can they say it applies to all items when it clearly doesnt!
Think i have to much time on my hands, lol.

If someone could take all the sponges out of the ocean, would the level rise or drop? because with them in there, they equal some sort of mass and would push the level up right? but without them in there the mass would decrease as would the ocean level.
But on the other hand, they hold water dont they? so that may make the level rise if you remove them, i mean then the water would all be back in the sea.
reading through this im feel well dumb asking, but i really want to know.

(2) When will this trend stop?
(3) How high will CO2 levels be then?
(4) When was the last time in geologic history CO2 was that high?
(5) What was the climate like when CO2 was that high?
