The world is melting too
Farewell to a melting glacier
Latin America analyst James Painter returns to the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia for the first time in 15 years to find it is melting fast.
Full story here.
Glaciers are a vital source of water for the surrounding villages and for the wildlife. Glaciers freeze and thaw, but such a fast decline can only be attributed to global warming. What will be reserved for us...we don't know. Will we survive such aggression to our planet?

Ice in South African beach
In a Durban beach of South Africa the water of the sea froze, after a strong snow fall in the region, creating white landscapes that we would only think possible in northern and cooler regions of the world. This is one more aggravated sympton of climate change to join many previous ones and others that will follow through. Climate changes, which are already reshaping coastlines and river flows, destroying agricultural cycles and other economic activities highly dependable on weather conditions, are being felt all over the globe, and will more severely affect the poorer regions, with less resources to invest in protective or adaptable meausures.
