Arizona: Winter weather stirs up Valley kids' coughs
The string of winter storms that blasted the Valley in recent weeks is bringing more children into local emergency rooms with respiratory issues.

"The most common complaint is a cough getting worse and difficulty breathing," said Dr. Onyemeze Azuogu, a pediatric emergency room doctor at Mesa's Banner Desert Medical Center.

The cold weather can exacerbate lung conditions in children and adults who already have asthma. Viruses such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, thrive when temperatures drop, said Dr. Jeff Kirkpatrick, medical director at the Catholic Healthcare West's Gilbert Urgent Care.

Bulgaria Astronomer Forecasts Global Cool-off - Standart
An article by Bulgarian astronomer Dr. Boris and his Russian colleague Boris Kaftan is among the most read ones in the e-edition of Cambridge University Press in 2008. It was published as early as 2004, but this year the interest to the hypothesis presented in the study has been very high, Komitov comments. The article ranks fourth among the most popular publications.
Contrary to the widespread theory of global warming Komitov and Kaftan prognosticate a minimum level of solar activity that will be followed by a cold period. "This for sure will be a cycle of the lowest solar activity in the last 100 years," Komitov maintains. In his opinion, it will be a phenomenon similar to the 11-year solar cycle of the beginning of the 19th century, characterized by a gradual decrease in solar activity and the ensuing impact on global climate.
