Interesting Stories in the News This Week



Today we are sharing lots of interesting stuff in the news- from rising seas, to how to quiet a baby quickly, to less errors in hospitals to goofy things Conservatives running for office have said about climate change.
 
For those who STILL don't believe the Earth's climate has warmed at a faster-than-normal rate (exacerbated by greenhouse gases), I (Rob) could spend hours telling you all of the changes. However, the first story in the news today is about how rising sea levels are causing the disappearance of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.  - Rob and Tom
 
THE SLOW DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS "Most of the 1,000 or so Marshall Islands, spread out over 29 narrow coral atolls in the South Pacific, are less than six feet above sea level -- and few are more than a mile wide. For the Marshallese, the destructive power of the rising seas is already an inescapable part of daily life."
