Answer to Question 1

In the midwest, for example, continental climates dominate; specific problems include tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in the spring and summer; ice-storms, blizzards, and generally heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures are hazards in the winter.

For global warming emissions, major causes will include any type of industry, vehicular use, backyard grilling, and agriculture.
