POPSTibetan glaciers rapidly melting The Water supply of nearly a billion people in South Asia in peril? Rather euphemistic way of describing it.! The effects will be devastating. A combination of drought, and Rivers that have become sewers never being purged, to say the least. There is no reason to believe that the melt will do anything but what it has continued to do so far...accelerate. Once scientists were often surprised. Now they are stunned. Why?

Nanofood elements throw a new invasive potential into the mix generally when there are alternatives that are much more healthy.

POPSMedical students fail drug tests They were generally unaware of street names of common recreational drugs, a knowledge that can be critical in diagnosis, and the prescribing an antidote or remedy. Very often the information given is from people who are delirious, feel threatened, concerned about being responsible for an overdose, or hysterical because of the fear someone they know well may not survive.

POPSScientists create solar cells with a twist. I suppose it won't be hard to have the power to at least power a Laptop. Perhaps a Solar powered tent for camping.
