QUOTATION OF THE DAY

"It does not make sense for us to go to Paris and come back with something that says, 'In a few years' time, your country is going to be underwater."
TONY A. deBRUM, foreign minister of the Marshall Islands, on the climate talks, where he is trying to protect his island nation.


The Marshall Islands Are Disappearing

By CORAL DAVENPORT and JOSH HANER

Most of the Marshall Islands rise less than six feet above sea level. For the Marshallese, the destructive power of the rising seas is already an inescapable part of daily life.
In the U.S. Northwest, sea level rise is forcing a Native American tribe to consider abandoning lands it has inhabited for thousands of years.http://n.pr/1RmB15p
