The growing field of climate engineering includes the risks and ethical questions surrounding technologies designed to counteract climate change by altering the Earth's weather systems. Due to the complexity of this issue, it will be split into two parts: part one, written by Simon Belda, arguing the positives of Climate Engineering, and part two, written by F.B. Brookings, arguing the negatives of Climate Engineering.

The Bluetongue virus, often called BTV, is a disease that affects farm animals like sheep, cattle, goats, and deer. It does not infect humans, but it can cause serious problems.

People in Fort Collins, Colorado, have been seeing rabbits with strange, horn-like growths on their heads and faces.

The virus causes wart-like growths on the skin of rabbits, especially around their heads, faces, and necks.
