Answer to Question 1

The average U.S. temperature has risen, we have seen an increase in precipitation, we are seeing changes in the ways that snow melts through the winter seasons, and we are having heat waves with associated droughts.

Answer to Question 2

In IPCC AR5, researchers investigated scenarios representing four different sets of assumptions about the level of anthropogenic emissions. These scenarios, called representative concentration pathways (RPCs), projected significantly different levels of radiative forcing by the year 2100. See Figure 18-17 for a comparison of +2.6 and +8.5 +2.6 represents what would happen if we curb greenhouse gas emissions immediately and +8.5 assumes that we continue with our current population growth rate and do not change our use of technology.

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.
