Explanation: The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.
The problems seem especially obvious in cases where current societal trends appear to be on a “collision course” with predictions of global warming’s impacts:
at the same time that sea levels are rising, human population continues to grow most rapidly in flood-vulnerable, low-lying coastal zones;
places where famine and food insecurity are greatest in today’s world are not places where milder winters will boost crop or vegetation productivity, but instead, are places where rainfall will probably become less reliable, and crop productivity is expected to fall;
the countries most vulnerable to global warming’s most serious side effects are among the poorest and least able to pay for the medical and social services and technological solutions that will be needed to adapt to climate change.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, “Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”
(For specific information on the projected impacts of climate change in the United States, see the National Assessment Report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.)

Answer:
Concern about climate change is much less pervasive in the United States, China and Russia than among other leading nations. Just 44% in the U.S. and Russia, and even fewer in China (30%), consider global warming to be a very serious problem. By comparison, 68% in France, 65% in Japan, 61% in Spain and 60% in Germany say that is the case.
Americans’ views of global warming divide along ideological lines — liberals are more than twice as likely as conservatives to say global warming is a very serious problem (66% vs. 30%). Surveys from 2008 and 2009 suggest that an ideological divide is also evident in Britain, where 66% of those on the political left rate global warming as very serious, compared with 42% of those on the right. A smaller ideological split exists in Germany, France and Spain.
While there is agreement around the world that climate change is a serious problem, there is much less international consensus as to which country is most trusted to do the right thing on this issue. However, expectations for President Barack Obama’s approach to climate change are high. Majorities or pluralities in 21 of the 25 countries surveyed believe Obama will “get the U.S. to take significant measures to control global climate change.” Expectations are especially high in Western Europe.

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Which sentence from Nature best supports Emerson’s claim? I am glad to the brink of fear. Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child.
Answer:
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
The author expresses that most adults have a very superficial way of seeing things. They cannot truly appreciate the beauty of nature. Only a true nature lover whose inward and outward senses are truly aligned and adjusted to each other is able to appreciate nature's beauty. This quality is present in every child but only a few men are able to retain this quality into adulthood

can i ask if the orange is orange, it is named orange or it called orange ?
Answer:
Explanation:
Orange the fruit came first. The word came into English either from Old French 'pomme d'orenge', or from the Spanish 'naranja' (with the subsequent transfer of the 'n' over to the indefinite article, as per 'apron' and 'adder', originally 'napron' and 'nadder'). The Spanish word is itself a modification of the Arabic 'naaranj' (cf. also Persian 'naarang'). Our colour term thus derives from the name of the fruit, not the other way round; we also have apricot, peach, violet, lilac, maroon, indigo, burgundy, and so on, which show how productive this process of colour naming is

Was Sandra Cisneros' choice of color a cultural declaration or a political provocation? Or Both?
Answer: A cultural declaration
Explanation:
The question most likely refers to the article "The Purple Passion of Sandra Cisneros," by Kathy Lowry, whose perspective of Cisneros´ actions is condemnatory and described as an uncalled-for political provocation disguised as a cultural declaration.
Looking into the case, and researching on Cisneros´own account of the events, found in "My Purple House. Color is a Language and a History," it becomes clear that she was trying to make a point about how the houses of the Latin community have been disregarded by the San Antonio Conservation Society, and her choice of a color deemed as “too vivid and modern” for its historical context is an example of how her culture is being erased.
So, in my opinion, Cisneros´choice of color was a cultural declaration and not merely a stubborn political provocation.

Select the correct text in the passage . Which detall best creates tension in the plot “the tell-tale heart”
The correct answer is: I moved it slowly - very, very, slowly.
Explanation
Suspense is a term to refer to the expectation about the resolution of a situation causing tension or impatient expectation of the viewer or reader. According to the above, it can be inferred that the sentence "I moved it slowly- very, very slowly" because it describes an action that is being performed slowly and is described in great detail causing tension in the reader as the reader wanders wether the protagonist of the story will be discovered as he tries to enter to the room. According to the above, the correct answer is: I moved it slowly - very, very, slowly.

"Student life is not the proper time to do things. It is the time to ‘prepare’ for things to be done in future."
How does it sound??
Answer:
While I do get what you're trying to say, try rewording your sentences. For example, instead of saying "Student life is not the proper time to do things," you can use this: Being a student means that you can not focus on your interests and study for school assignments at the same time. You are, eventually, going to have to focus on one thing, either your interests, or school. As school keeps students busy with loads of assignments, tests, and exams that students can't find a proper time to do the things they want to do. (see how I used your sentences here?)
Try doing the same for your next sentence, and come back here!
