What temperature would it be without global warming?
About one degree cooler by the equator and five degrees cooler by the ice caps.
List five effects that UV radiation could have on plants or animals as a result of ozone thinning?
The five effects are: Global warming eye cataract suppression of immune system Skin cancer Death of phytoplanktons.
Can humans handle global warming?
If humans can handle crawling out of oceans, losing there scales, grow lungs to breathe oxygen, and lose their tails after they learn to walk upright, I believe they can handle global warming- considering the earth has allegedly gone through FIVE ice ages, it must have gone through 5 warming trends as well. And the earth seems to have survived them all quite well.
How will global warming affect Maryland?
Scientists believe that the following impacts from Global Warming are already being seen in Maryland and Virginia, which are part of the Chesapeake Bay region: 2006 was the second warmest year on record for the US. It was the third warmest for Maryland. 2002 was the 5th warmest for Maryland. (Environment Maryland). 1998 was the warmest. Cities in the region are experiencing "an increased number, intensity, and duration of heat waves," threatening public health, particularly that of elderly Americans and infants, as predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. These heat waves also stress flora and fauna, including brook trout populations in Maryland, which are predicted to go extinct from global warming (Meisner) in most regions of Maryland. The heat also affects the number of code red air quality days. Increased droughts are arributed to global warming. The warmer, saltier, oxygen-depleted water in the Bay caused by drought is inhospitable to crabs. Increased droughts also stress other aquatic organisms like rockfish (a 6.6 billion dollar industry), cause billions in crop damage, and create water supply problems. Droughts also stress trees and make them more susceptible to damage from gypsy moths and other invasive pests. Islands in the Chesapeake Bay are suffering from a combination of natural subsidence and increased sea level, including Smith, Hoopers and Bloodsworth Islands. Holland island was abandoned in 1992. 7000 acres of marsh have already been lost in the Blackwater refuge due to natural causes and more is expected due to global sea level increase. According to the Arbor Day Foundation "based upon data from 5,000 National Climatic Data Center cooperative stations across the continental United States", USDA hardiness zones in Maryland and Virginia have shifted due to global warming and these shifts are predicted to continue. The period between first and last dates with snow on the ground has decreased 7 days over past 50 years. The spread of diseases is affected by global warming; a flesh eating form of Cholera named Vibrio has made its way into the Chesapeake Bay region as a result. "In the last couple of decades, water temperatures in the Bay have increased by two degrees and by three to five degrees in some of its tributaries;" this is expected to create an increase in pathogens (Dr. Kevin Sellner, Director of the Chesapeake Research Consortium) that include West Nile Virus. Flooding is increasing in cities along waterbodies; Baltimore participated in the landmark Supreme Court Case Massachusetts vs EPA that successfully forced EPA to regulate Greenhouse Gases under the clean air act due to this flooding in the Harbor Region. visit http://local-warming.blogspot.com/search/label/local%20problems for an overview of documented and predicted issues from Global Warming in the region.

What are the five main impacts of global warming?
There are no real effects. There is no evidence that global warming is real or, that its happening. The truth is during the civil war we experiences a minor ice age and the earth lost a few degrees, now we are just gaining them back. The earth is not heating up it's simply going back to normal temperature.
What is one example of climate change from global warming?
Global warming is not any one single event. A day might be hotter than usual, or even during a period of rapid warming (such as is occurring now), any given day might be cooler than average. Even one year of unusually warm weather, by itself, does not qualify as evidence of global warming. The summer of 2012 in the US was the warmest on record. When compared against the five year average across many decades, a clear warming trend is established. Similarly, we had a couple of fairly cool years in the 1970s. That didn't mean the earth was cooling. But what has the long term trend been? Another example of an effect of global warming is the extent of arctic sea ice. This year it is the smallest ever recorded. That could be significant unless it was offset by gains in Antarctic ice. It wasn't.
What are five ways in which the climate of the Caribbean region affect us every day?

Is in conclusion needed at the end of the body paragraphs in a five paragraph informational essay?
The phrase "In conclusion" is very overworked. Teachers and professors see it thousands of times. You should strive to word your closing in an unusual or thought out manner. For example, "With an abundance of opinions that state global warming is fact, few scientific studies have been done to prove this." Now that assumes you wrote about facts for global warming.
