Guardian: The tiny Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe has called the coastal marshlands of southern Louisiana home ever since their ancestors settled there to avoid forced relocation under the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

HNGN: A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) suggests global climate change is advancing at an alarming and "unprecedented" rate.

Climate change could see half a reservoir of Hong Kong's potable water evaporate
2016-03-20 16:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Morning Post: Warmer temperatures brought about by climate change could see up to 7.3 million cubic metres more of Hong Kongs potable water about half of the Shing Mun Reservoir literally evaporate every year by the end of the century, an environmental group has warned. Rainfall helps offset evaporation from reservoirs in most years, but Green Power said the lack of necessary research would jeopardise the citys long-term water supplies as global warming caused more extreme weather patterns such as droughts...
