Researchers said that the series of droughts and heatwaves in Europe is the most extreme for more than 2000 years. The study analysed tree rings dating from the Roman empire to create the longest record ever to date. The scientists said that global heating is the main cause of the recent rise in extreme heat. This heatwaves have devastating consequences such as thousands of early deaths, destroying crops, and causing forest fires. Also, low river levels, affected transportation and cooling nuclear power stations. What is worse climate scientists predict more extreme and more frequent droughts in the future. It is terrifying that the situation is so bad for the last 2000 years. In my opinion, all countries in Europe should discuss this serious problem and try to join forces in order to prevent this irreversible catastrophe. It is unacceptable that countries like Poland do almost nothing to prevent climate tragedy. We should follow for example Denmark and invest in renewable energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, dismantle old heating systems and teach about the importance of protecting the environment.

    It's global warming, not heating.
    It's strange to read about heatwaves just after huge parts of the world have suffered from the opposite - winter snow storms and extreme frost, like in Texas.

There are a lot of mediums through that alcohol brands can advertise their products and suggest drinking behaviors to potential consumers. Alcohol in music: In recent years there has been rising concern about a subject involving drugs and alcohol in music. A study from Northwestern University found that 22.4% of songs on the Billboard’s Hot 100 list mentioned alcohol. Themes of alcohol use were most apparent in hip-hop, country pop, and R&B music. I think that in Poland's music, popular amongst teens it could be over 50%. What is more thrilling alcoholic themes are overwhelmingly presented in a positive light.  People learn behaviors from personal experiences and from things that they are exposed to in popular media. When we are constantly "encouraged" to drink alcohol, we are more likely...

Syrian authorities said that they have begun rationing fuel as a result of the blockage of the Suez canal, delaying crucial shipments and worsening the country's oil shortages. Syria is suffering from civil war since 2011 and faces a serious economic crisis. It already announced a more than 50% rise in the price of petrol. Minister said that they are rationing distribution of the available oil to ensure that essential services such as bakeries and hospitals will function continuously. Global supply chain has been injured since the giant container ship Ever Given wedged in the canal and blocked one of the most popular trade routes in the world. The situation with Ever Given container ship is a tragedy on a world scale. It is causing tens of millions losses per hour and cuts of access to oil to many countries. The poorest of them, especially those in conflict, like Syria could have serious problems in proper functioning. Even though current trials on removing the container didn't...

Is lying morally wrong?

In my opinion lying is not morally wrong when you don't cross some boundaries. For example white lies are harmless, because the are generally told to avoid hurting someone's feelings and creating some useless conflicts. But of course they are  lies that cannot be forgiven and are morally wrong. An example of such lies are those that can significantly change some situation for example in relationship. Lying in relationship is wrong becuse when you lie you change the way how people see you and you are trying to be someone that you are not. To sum up, lying is not wrong when it's a white lie or when it don't affect some important situations, but lying about yourself in relationships is wrong and for a longer period of time it will only cause harm.
