NOAA is taking the lead in the U.S., where the agency issued in June an in-depth report of how climate change would impact America state by state. What's needed now is a similar service for the world. At the Geneva conference, the plan is to create a Global Framework for Climate Services, a kind of NOAA to the world that can update predictions on global warming as they happen - rather than waiting for years. This is especially necessary for developing nations, especially in the tropics, which are more vulnerable to the impact of global warming, like droughts...

"Rather than the tsunami destroying the town," Miyazaki says, "I took it as her own sense of life overflowing, and that helped to revitalize the town.

...depth of the acting community's grief is apparent on their Facebook pages. "We lost another one of our own at Disney. Too many, too young. Just wish it made some sense," posted Krista Miller, a Disney improv comedian. Rather than losing spirit over the losses, Kenny Babel, a Disney performer and close friend of Priest's, says he and other performers have been inspired by Priest's legacy to offer even more of themselves to the process of creating the Disney magic. "Mark lived for that magic. That's when Mark was most Mark," Babel says. "One's person...

...fancy a little underwater exploration without the hassle of learning to scuba dive, you'll love the sub-scooter. It's a battery-powered moped that propels you through water at a depth of 10 ft. (3 m), while compressed air is pumped into a tiny glass cockpit from a boat on the surface - the resulting air pressure keeping water out of the hood. Pelagic treasures can be seen without even getting your hair...
