That’s the headline from WebMD. The sub heading states:
Hotter Summers May Mean More Heat-Related Deaths, Experts Predict
It’s a very brief article explaining that hotter summers may increase heat related deaths. But, I gotta wonder why the obvious other side of this story wasn’t acknowledged, it would go something like this:

Warmer winters [...]

Got this from my favoritest news source, The Onion:
Scientists Ask Congress To Fund $50 Billion Science Thing
WASHINGTON, DC— “I agree we need this scientific apparatus, because, in the end, science is more important than it is unimportant,” Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN) said.

Remember that scene from Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan where Khan places this bug in Chekov’s ear that eats its way to his brain and turns him into an automaton for Kahn? I do. It kind of unnerved me at the time. That was exactly twenty-five years ago. That entire time I [...]

Here’s the story:
Research findings published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics calculate that corn and rapeseed biodiesels produce up to 70 percent and 50 percent more greenhouse gases respectively than fossil fuels.
Now, this gets to the root of my problem with the global warming debate. Yeah, I know, the debate is over. However, the problem [...]

That’s the headline that accompanied this:
While there are an estimated 7,000 languages spoken around the world today, one of them dies out about every two weeks, according to linguistic experts struggling to save at least some of them……
Losing languages means losing knowledge, says K. David Harrison, an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College.

There is a long held theory that life on Earth evolved from life forms raining down on Earth from other places. So far, there isn’t any proof of this, it just sounds logical. However, we might have some proof in the making right now:
Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball [...]

This is getting cooler than I really thought it would. Check out this incredibly ugly little Saturnian moon, Iapetus:
JPL has a lot more pics. It’s getting really close now. However, unlike Io or Europa, the closer it gets to Iapetus, the uglier it gets. This poor little moon has obviously been battered hard by meteor [...]
