And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are【C6】______to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

The warming will be more【C5】 5in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off.

The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on【C8】 8, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend.
