We recently posted a story asking if wi fi is dangerous. Now scientists are reassuring us that there is no link between wi-fi use and damage to your health.
The BBC reports that the scare first occurred when their TV show Panorama found that “radiation levels from wi-fi in one school was up to three times the level of mobile phone mast radiation.” However, these readings were still 600 times below the government’s safety limits.

Hurricane season officially begins in June, and this year, it started a bit early. These powerful swirling storms are triggered by the surface warming of the ocean. But now researchers think they may be nature?s way of SLOWING DOWN global warming by cooling off the ocean.
Atmospheric scientists have found evidence that tropical cyclones and hurricanes play an important role in the ocean circulation patterns that transport heat and maintain the climate of North America and Europe. This is known as the Gulf Stream, which acts as an ocean conveyer belt. The upper part of the conveyer belt travels from the south to the north, passing through the Pacific Ocean and Indian oceans and past warmer latitudes warming the water brought to North America and Europe.
