Health issues are brought about on many occasions, but do we ever think of where these things started and what other major issues they may have caused.

On the mattress lay a man with his legs gone to the…

Exploring Horrific Epidemics Never-before, have I ever really thought of the epidemics that affect everyone’s lives day in and day out.

But the Present is slowly changing from hands on work force, to the an automated workforce from inflation of the past, to the deflation of the present, to the continued devastation of the coming future.

Scientists agree that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere and are one of the main causes of the exponential increase in global temperatures.
