NEW YORK, May 9 [TNSmedicalresearch] -- Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory issued the following news:
Most everyone knows that humid heat is harder to handle than the "dry" kind. And recently, some scientists have projected that later in the century, in parts of the tropics and subtropics, warming climate could cause combined heat and humidity to reach levels rarely if ever experienced before by humans. Such conditions would ravage economies, and possib . . .
