My Way News - Tiny islands have powerful voice in UN climate talks
My Way News reports: "They barely break the surface of the ocean but in the U.N. talks on how
to stop rising seas and other hazards of a warming planet, small island
nations have the moral high ground. [...] Rising seas are already eroding their coast lines and contaminating their freshwater wells. Many are in the path of typhoons and hurricanes that scientists say could become more powerful as the climate warms."
My Way News - Asia's coastal cities face challenge of rising seas
My Way News reports: "The future will be a watery one for some of the world's biggest cities.
Predicted sea level increases this century mean many face increased
flooding, stronger storm surges and unpredictable weather. How well
coastal cities can cope will dramatically affect quality of life and
their economic destiny. Many of the biggest are in Asia, powering
economies while housing hundreds of millions of poor in sprawling slums."
