David Attenborough says it’s too late to reverse climate change damages

Feb 25 2021

After the United Nations warned that humanity has potentially made Earth an uninhabitable planet, natural historian and presenter David Attenborough layered a warning of his own.

Now 94 years old, Attenborough has seen the Earth’s climate and natural situation worsen, but despite his warning, he says that wealthy countries can still put in the work in hopes of remedying the problem.

Climate change should be a situation that unites all people together, he said as the UN’s COP26climate summit looms closer. This is, according to Attenborough, our last opportunity to change.

Calling a friend could help overcome pandemic loneliness

Feb 25 2021

A recent study published in the JAMA Psychiatry journal has revealed that a 10 minute phone call could ease the burden of loneliness. In times of a pandemic with lockdowns being a norm, this recent research provides people with a possible solution to another crisis that accompanies it: solitude.

A half of 240 participants received brief calls from volunteers over the course of a month, reporting back a 20% decrease in loneliness. The volunteers were specifically trained in empathetic communication skills such as active listening, asking about recipient, etc. and the study participants were given complete control of the phone call.

Lead study author Maninder Kahlon stated that looking into one’s own friend group and finding those who are truly interested in listening can have the same results for those who wish to implement this concept.
