    Edit note: “head” is a plural term when referring to stock animals. So “700 Head of Cattle Die”.

    China is doing its best for the planet; the huge expansion of coal-burning power plants is the best thing that could happen there.

    The “cold front affecting Luzon” (Luzon is the northern and biggest island of the Philippines) is a daily weather advisory of the country’s weather bureau, PAGASA. We dont have snow of course, but it’s cloudy here everyday, with some rains on some days. China’s cold wave should be blowing southwards down to the equator.
