3- Extreme heat: extreme heat will effect livestock: can be more suspectible to disease. The summer heat is more dangerous than winter cold.
4- Iowa scientists warn about extreme heat: Researchers predict that by 2050, Iowa's 90 degree days will nearly triple.
5- Radio: 216 educators warned about extreme heat/temps. They predict that in 20 years days of 90 degree will double unless greenhouse emissions are reduced.
