When has it not flooded in the Philippines? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to talk a bout climate change being the cause if it was not flooding in the Philippines?

Question: High viscosity oil or low in a hot climate country like Arabia?
It’s very hot in the middle east, isn’t thicker oil better than thin oil in a hot climate unlike the US where there’s winter and summer seasons? Or does it even matter? Please be specific about this.

Answer:

Answer by Richard M
If you are talking about oil used in an internal combustion engine then simply follow the manufacturers recommendations. The regular operating temperature inside your engine is over 200F and I doubt that it gets anywhere near that in the middle-east.

Most engine oils are multi-grade i.e. 10W-30, 20W-50, etc. The first number is the measure of viscosity when cold (not at operating temparature) while the second number is the viscosity at regular operating temparature.

Question: How many climate change deniers also deny biology, astronomy, cosmology, etc?
I’d like to just get an idea – how many of those denying anthropogenic climate change tend to reject science generally? That is to say, how many denialists also reject biological evolution and the Big Bang model of cosmology, and by extension, also implicitly reject most if not all of the findings of:

Geology
Chemistry
Physics
Archaeology
Astronomy
Cosmology
Biology
Paleontology
Et cetera

Well?

Answer:

Answer by My Sock Puppet Account
nonsense, biological evolution and the big bang actually have supporting evidence to back them up, unlike global warming.

Question: If civilization refuses to take action because of climate change, which is probable, what exactly will happen?
O.K. this question is for the geniuses out there who are capable of forward thinking. I would like a realistic scenario of what will happen if climate change continues without human action to stop pollution and greenhouse gasses.

Question: What are climate change effects on seasons?
Here in Canada it’s SUPER COLD… But I wanna know about the other seasons… I know in Summer it is SUPER HOT…

What are climate change effects on seasons? I know Canada has the cold and some storms and England… Omg storms!

Answer:

Answer by Pedro
Hi,
Seasonal changes are part of climate.
What marks the change of seasons where you live? In the Midwest
and New England, there are four distinct seasons.Mild spring and
autumn months come between hotter summers and colder winters.
In Florida and other southern states, the seasonal changes are much
less extreme. are periods of the year associated with specific
weather conditions, such as cold temperatures or frequent rain. These
periods are part of the overall pattern that makes up a climate. And also for example Ocean currents can affect climates. For example in Natashquan, Canada the Average Temperature is 1ºC and the
Latitude: is 50.2° N, but in London, England the Average Temperature is11ºC and the Latitude is nearly the same as natashquan, Canada, 51.5° N. This happens because Natashquan, Canada is near a cold-water current called labrador, while London, England is near a warm- water current called N.Atlantic.

I hope this helps!!
