Answer to Question 1

Warmer temperatures overall; melting glaciers, ice caps, and sea ice; increased drought in some
locations, increased precipitation in other locations; difficulty growing food in some agricultural areas;
and spread of tropical diseases into areas that have traditionally been too cold for them.



Answer to Question 2

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are natural components of the atmosphere. These gases
allow sunlight to pass through the atmosphere but trap some of the heat that radiates outward from
Earth's surface. This is the greenhouse effect. If the mount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
increases, they can trap more heat, and the atmosphere warms.

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.
