4 Places to Visit Before They’re Affected by Climate Change
October 15th, 2009 admin
1. Spain Spain , with its culture, beaches and favourable climate has been for years an almost ubiquitous tourist trap. But all is not rosy in the land of España . Much of the southern parts of the country are at considerable risk of desertification , from Almeria all the way to Tarragona . Excessive irrigation , inadequate rainfall , and overgrazing are resulting in an ever larger growing area of sandy wasteland . It’s already got so bad that it’s not even cold enough for birds to migrate to Africa for their summer break, and they’re instead choosing to stay in Spain (really). On a rather miserable plus side, it means that in the future, tourists won’t have to travel as far as North Africa to experience the tranquil charms of the desert . 2. Canada Canada ’s amazing …

UN Secretary-General to travel to H...United Nations, New York, 15 January 2010 - The Secretary-General updated correspondents on the situation in Haiti. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced today that he will soon travel to Haiti, which was devastated by a massive earthquake earlier this week, to show solidarity with the people of the impoverished Caribbean nation, as the United Nations continues to rush aid to the victims. The 7.0 magnitude earthquake is said to have affected one-third of Haiti's 9-million strong population. Many of the people in the hard-hit capital, Port-au-Prince, do not have access to food, water, shelter and electricity. UN emergency teams on the ground estimate that as many of half of the buildings in the worst-hit areas of the capital have been damaged or destroyed. "We are still in the search-and-rescue phase, and we are trying to save as many lives as possible", Mr. Ban told reporters in New York today. News story: www.un.org

Bess Rogers - I Don't Worry (from t...About a year ago I met up with the fantastically talented Molly Green in a warehouse in Los Angeles to film a video. Everything went so well that we decided to quit the porn industry and make a music video for my song "I Don't Worry"! The shooting went well, or so I'm told... I think I blacked out. Afterwards, Molly and the crew went to work animating the footage with pipe cleaners. It was painstaking work and they slaved over it day and night for months and months. And now the finished product is here in all of its pipe cleaner filled, non x-rated glory. A lot of love, blood, tears, and more blood went into it so I hope that you enjoy! director: Molly Green producer: Hunter Hill animations & compositing: Logan Strobel director of photography: Hua Liu assistant director: James Leffler hair & make-up: Mariah McGinnis wardrobe: Lan Chu grip & electric: Scott Dow, Nick Muller Thanks to: Randi Hiller, Jason Nguyen, Elliot M.
