It's only during a power outage when you actually think about it. Unfortunately, a new report released by the Department of Energy in July, says that our electrical grid will be impacted due to the effects...

Press Trust of India: Global warming may not only spell doom for many species, it could also trigger more interpersonal tension and violence worldwide, a new study has claimed. Researchers from Princeton University and the University of California-Berkeley report in the journal Science that even slight spikes in temperature and precipitation have greatly increased the risk of personal violence and social upheaval throughout human history. Projected onto an Earth that is expected to warm by 2 degrees Celsius by 2050,...
