Climate change is unlikely to lead to more days of extreme cold, similar to those that gripped the USA in a deep freeze last winter, new research has shown.
The Arctic amplification phenomenon refers to the faster rate of warming in the Arctic compared to places further south. It is this phenomenon that has been linked to a spike in the number of severe cold spells experienced in recent years over Europe and North America.

Stress is known to shrink areas of the brain that are responsible of your mood, memory, and learning; ultimately making you feel older.

Remember that you are not in University anymore, and it isn’t healthy to have little sleep on a daily basis. You are not partying every other night...

England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872.
