Description

BMW recently unveiled a new, eco-friendly concept car. The Vision's sleek design suggests that while the car giant may want to reduce their carbon footprint, they're not interested in sacrificing their reputation for high performance and style. Some parts of the world have seen record breaking droughts while others are hit with flooding on a disastrous scale. This climate change his been blamed on an increase in the levels of carbon dioxide in the air. To learn more about the world's changing weather patterns, scientists decided to study the situation at the polar ice caps, which they found were melting at an exponential rate. Doctors are studying the incidence of multiple births in IVF pregnancies. Around 40 percent of IVF pregnancies lead to the birth of twins and triplets and even quadruplets - a bigger risk for the mother than a natural, single baby.
