Does smoking have an effect on global warming?
No, it doesn't. When tobacco is grown, its leaves remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.When it is burnt in a cigarette, it releases the same carbon dioxide that it took f…rom the atmosphere.So smoking is "carbon neutral".It is part of the carbon cycle.So smoking does not contribute to global warming. Of course, smoking is a polluting and dangerous habit that kills millions of people round the world, but that is a separate matter. (MORE)

What is the result or effect of global warming?
Global warming has a number of different results. Heat is a form of energy, and it makes weather more energetic, so you get stronger and more numerous storms. Both drought… and flooding become more common and more severe. Glaciers melt and the sea level rises. Eventually, the world will become a lot hotter, but for now, it is the other results which are more noticeable. (MORE)

What are the effects of global warming on the environment?
Global warming and climate change alters earth's normal doings, thereby affecting its weather patterns and changing the conditions of its various spheres. Possib…le effects of global warming include; drought, violent and severe storms, frequent flooding due to ice meltdown, loss of organisms natural habitats, torrential/heavy rainfall, rapid spread of disease, competition for survival between animals and human, water pollution and decrease in ocean salinity, new species invasion, migration and climate refugees, and triggering of man-made disasters. Hurricane levels are slight down in volume and showing slightly stronger in intensity. From the standpoint of the poles, although the Antarctic is gaining in overall ice extent on the east side, it continues losing ice in total volume. The North pole has seen significant loss. In many areas droughts are more severe than would be otherwise, leading to increased danger of fire or crop failure. Ocean levels, of course, continue to rise. This has not yet resulted in substantial coastal flooding, but the rate is projected to increase. Extinctions are expected to continue, with climate factors gaining on and exacerbating habitat loss. Plant and animal ranges are expected to shift to higher latitudes, some of which has already been observed. (MORE)

What is global warming and what are its effects on the environment?
Global warming means the recent (200 year) rise in the earth's temperature caused by man's deforestation and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the …Industrial Revolution. Global temperature has risen 0.8° C since 1900, and 0.6 degrees since the 1970s. Given that earth's temperature changed about 6° C at the depth of the previous ice age 20,000 years ago to its end 11,000 years ago, the current rate of change is abnormally fast and geologically unprecedented within the span of human existence. 20,000 - 11,000 is 9000 years. Divide that into 40 year intervals and you get 225. Six degrees divided by 225 implies the rapid temperature increase marking the close of the last ice age was about 0.03° C every 40 years. Contrast that with the 0.6° C change in just the past 40 years, and you see that temperature is rising 20 times faster now (.6/.03) than it ever did throughout human history. Natural climate cycles back and forth, but human induced change is unidirectional, and at a rate likely outpacing the natural ability of species to adapt. Effects on the environment: Glaciers, sea ice and ice caps melting Sea levels rising Heat waves Unusual weather patterns and blizzards Famines and crop failures More energy in the atmosphere Animal habitats changing permanently (MORE)

What are the effects of Global Warming on Mauritius?
The effects of global warming and climate change will have a serious effect on Mauritius. The warming of the Indian Ocean will bleach and kill the coral reefs located around t…he island. The coral reefs are one of the tourist attractions of Mauritius. There is also the likelihood of increased flooding of low-lying parts of the country, especially around Grand Baie. See this 60 Minutes report on the Maldives, a similar Indian Ocean country, at the link below. (MORE)

What is global warming and what are the effects of global warming?
Global warming is the heating of the earth because of humans. It's caused by a rise in Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere which causes the greenhouse gases to retain more …heat. (Without these gases our planet couldn't hold in heat) Our global temperature has raised about 1 degree Celsius in the last century, a change that would take thousands of years to occur naturally. One result is the melting of glaciers, which will eventually cause flooding. Answer: Global warming has been identified as a major issue for the global community. More properly this is called "Global Climate Change" as some areas may be warmer, some cooler, some wetter, some drier... Background: The contention of the larger number of climatologists is that human activities since the industrial revolution have increased the content of CO2, methane and other gases in the atmosphere that trap solar heat. At the same time human activities have reduced the forest cover that had traditionally absorbed these same materials. They state that an increasing level of these atmospheric constituents has lead to a chain of chemical and physical changes that have increased the world's average temperature. Observations of atmospheric gas composition, average sea water temperatures, atmospheric temperatures etc. confirm the trends and support the proposition. Potential Impacts: 1. The sea levels may rise. Technically this may be caused by melting ice from the polar ice caps or an increase in sea height as the less dense water is less compressed. Low lying land like many Pacific Islands and Miami will be under water. 2. Serious climate changes may result from diverted ocean currents. As an example, the Gulf Stream keeps Europe warm. If the Stream is not running Europe may be much cooler and drier. Crops may not grow. 3. Ecology changes on the land could include species of animals and plants extending their range to the polar regions. Local flora and fauna may become extinct. A good example is the spread of Africanized bees and Fire Ants. Sea life may also be impacted both through the introduction of competitive species presently kept in other areas by water temperature changes, and by failure to adapt to less saline water. 4. Human society may be disrupted if changes in rainfall and temperature cause crop failure. Famine refugees may require significant humanitarian attention by the "lucky" nations. (MORE)

What is better the you phone 5c or 5s?
the 5s because it has better service but it dosent have diffrent colrs just silver gold and black

What is the answer to 20c plus 5 equals 5c plus 65?
20c + 5 = 5c + 65 Divide through by 5: 4c + 1 = c + 13 Subtract c from both sides: 3c + 1 = 13 Subtract 1 from both sides: 3c = 12 Divide both sides by 3: c = 4
