8- Global warming is the increase in the Earth’s temperature as the result of greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere.

10- cancer is certainly a terrible disease, and researchers are hard at work attempting to find treatments and cures. However, it can be difficult for patients to figure out what is a legitimate treatment and what is the modern-day equivalent of snake oil, and it can be a source of stress to already burdened patients figuring out what is real medicine.

According to co-author Kim Strassel, of the book, According to Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws, due to the way modern women live, private pensions do not contemplate the influx of women into the workforce. The main quote supporting this is "Because women live longer than men, they are more likely to suffer the defects of our retirement systems."
