Answer to Question 1

As in the first problem there are different views on this question.

Global warming, ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity are more important than the other environmental and social problems because:

 They are too large in scale to consider secondary to any other problems. These three affect the entire planet and could alter the future of human life on Earth and Earth itself.
 We could all die or suffer because of global warming, ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity, but disease and homelessness could all be prevented, in theory at least.

Global warming, ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity are less important than the other environmental and social problems because:

 They are not as immediately pressing as other social problems
 The biggest problems are poverty and war
 The Earth as a system has ways of healing and evolving to support life and will continue to do so as long as it exists. (But don't count on this to solve problems like ozone depletion and global warming) However, society has no system of checks and balances.

Answer to Question 2

The Sun produces its energy through nuclear fusion  Four hydrogen nuclei (1H) fuse to form one helium nucleus (4He) The core becomes denser  The core contracts under its own gravity  The core's temperature increases  The rate of nuclear fusion increases  Energy production within the Sun's core rises  The amount of energy emitted at the surface increases  The Sun's luminosity increases as it depletes its hydrogen fuel.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
