Environmental News Network: By the 2080s, as many as 3,331 people could die every year from exposure to heat during the summer months in New York City. The high estimate by Columbia University scientists is based on a new model--the first to account for variability in future population size, greenhouse gas trajectories, and the extent to which residents adapt to heat through interventions like air conditioning and public cooling centers. Results appear online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Researchers...

In 2012, Nestlé persuaded the government to remove these restrictions even though their removal might endanger the neighbouring communitys source of groundwater.
