Todays article was on environmental issues like the global risk melting all the glaciers causing water levels to rise which then result to flooding of cities. People don't realize these things until it's too late. Also global warming is causing fish to die out because it takes so much carbon dioxide out of the waters fish can't live in it. Also for some parts of the world, global warming has decreased the amount of rain meaning crops dieing and animals all dead from thirst. Also another event that occurred was that US tried to make a sattelite that can look at the worlds carbon dioxide rates it cost the US 270 million dollars but it was a total failure and failed to work as soon as it reached orbit. This 9 year process was called a total failure by NASA.
HERES THE ARTICLE.
Carbon Monitoring Satellite Crashes
A satellite meant to orbit the Earth and monitor global carbon dioxide emissions suffered a glitch at takeoff in February and crashed into the ocean near Antarctica.
Researchers had hoped the Orbiting Carbon Observatory would provide new insights into the distribution of the greenhouse gases around the globe—data that could have improved climate predictions.
NASA officials called the U.S. $270 million mission, under development for nine years, a total loss.
