Alanna Shaikh  - January 25, 2017 The flu strikes every winter. But this influenza season is particularly dangerous. Outbreaks of “avian influenza” or “bird flu” have been reported in 40 countries since November. This sharply increases the likelihood that deadly bird flu stains may begin infecting humans in larger and larger number. Now, the World Health Organization is on  “high alert.”   And for good reason. Influenza is a threat every year, but this flu season is different. 40 countries is an unusually large number of outbreaks, in a wide geographical range of locations.

Even more ominously, there are signs that this outbreak could be the beginning of the worst possible scenario for pandemic flu: h...

Trump railed against green office buildings specifically in a 2012 interview on CNBC’s  Squawk Box , saying they were “green because they don’t give you enough energy.” Only a couple of the properties associated with his name, such as the new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., have sought LEED certification, according to a directory kept by the United States Green Building Council. Todd Myers, the director of the Center for the Environment at the Washington Policy Center, who has fought green building sta...
