The Vivos Underground Shelter is a network of 20 underground shelters built to withstand manmade and natural disasters that will be located near major cities across the U.S. with accommodations for up to 4,000 people.

Researchers at MIT have released a new report showing that even moderate carbon-reduction policies can substantially lower the risk of future climate change but that quick action is needed to avoid a temperature increase of more than 2°C.
