STORYLINE:
Tanzanian locals blame both global warming and local environmental impacts for the melting of the ice cap on Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro, according to a news report by British television Sky News. The mountain has become synonymous with global warming, as according to a United Nations report, the icecap will be completely gone in 15 years time. It's thought nearby illegal logging, charcoal production, forest fires and quarrying are contributing to the melting of Kilimanjaro's glacier. Water can be heard trickling down the ice and forming small waterfalls and streams. The mountain has a unique variety of vegetation due to its proximity to the equator and many are worried the melting of the ice cap will destroy the Mountain's existing ecosystems. Chombo Fausdine, a mountain guide, told Sky News the mountain had changed a lot since he had been climbing it. "When I started to climb Kilimanjaro there was a lot of snow. But nowadays snow is in danger. I think this is because of global warming. Not only because of Global warming but also this could be because of deforestation. I think those who live surrounding this mountain, maybe they do deforestation." The peak is over 19 thousand feet (5895 metres) high and is known as the summit of Africa. Locals are worried that no-one will want to climb the mountain once the glacier and snows are gone. Experts fear the great white mountain is acting as a global barometer and might never recover.

STORYLINE:
The shrinking of Himalayan glaciers could cause widespread flooding in China, India and Nepal, before creating water shortages for hundreds of millions of people across the region, a leading environmental group warned on Monday. The Switzerland-based World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said that the rate of retreat of the Asian mountain nge's glaciers is accelerating because of global warming, and has now reached 10-15 metres (33-49 feet) a year. WWF said the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers initially would cause flooding but would subsequently lead to lower water levels in rivers, creating "massive economic and environmental problems" in Western China, Nepal and Northern India. In China, the report said, the Qinhai Plateau's wetlands have seen declining lake water levels, lake shrinkage, and the degradation of swampland. Professor Shen Yongping said glacier retreat in the past 20 to 30 years equalled that of the previous 200-300 years. Shen warned that a sharp change in the amount of water flowing into rivers would cause a "major crisis" for agricultural irrigation and hydropower projects in the downstream areas. Himalayan glaciers feed into seven of Asia's biggest rivers: the Ganges; Indus; Brahmaputra; Mekong; Thanlwin, formerly known as the Salween; Yangtze and Yellow. WWF noted that this ensures a year-round water supply to hundreds of millions of people in China and the Indian subcontinent.

STORYLINE:
The snow-top peaks of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range attract thousands of visitors each year, but scientists say glaciers in the Peruvian Andes could disappear within a decade. Peruvian scientists warn that the glaciers have melted dramatically in the last 30 years as the average global temperature sores. "The data shows that almost 22 percent of the country's glacial area is lost. For Cordillera Blanca from 1970 to 1997, the area lost in this mountain range is 15.5 percent," Marco Zapato, National Institute of Natural Resources said. In just 7 years, this glacier as melted significantly. The world's top scientists from the UN-sponsored climate study group are blaming burning of fossil fuels for the warming up of the atmosphere. Scientists say Peru will face a water crisis in the near future due to rapidly melting ice. During the dry season, freshwater for Peru's desert coast and capitol city Lima comes exclusively from the glaciers. But the glaciers are melting faster than they can replenish in the wet season. Many new mountain lakes are emerging as the glaciers thaw. Glacial lakes are bulging from the melting snow, and threatening to break their banks. The town of Yungay is no stranger to natural disasters, and earthquake triggered an avalanche causing glacial lakes to overflow. The floods wiped out the whole town of Yungay, killing 18,000 people. It is a reminder of what could happen when today's fragile glaciers collapse. Peru is particularly vulnerable to climate change because the melting water is the main source of hydroelectric generation. About 70 percent of the country's energy comes from hydroelectric power plants.

We are facing a gradual dieing process and I do think that they need to come in and provide opportunities and options for us."
33. Island at a distance, water in foreground
STORYLINE:
Just days before the Kyoto agreement comes into force, the tiny Pacific-atoll nation of Kiribati (Keer-ree-bas ) has suffered a taste of what may lie ahead for many small pacific nations, according to the NGO Greenpeace. Waves swept onto the low-lying atoll sending locals scrambling to save their belongings as their homes were being destroyed. Beiataake Orea, has seen many of her neighbours' houses destroyed by rising sea levels and wonders how long before she too will be forced to flee. Recent tidal occurrences have also threatened causeways linking the low lying atolls as well as flooding Tarawa, Kiribati's capital. The threat is not only from the obvious damage of flooding, swamped houses, roads, sea walls and gardens, but also contamination of fresh water reserves vital for islanders' survival. Salt water is also seeping into the soil making it increasingly difficult to grow crops. Kiribati, is a nation of 90 thousand people spread over 33 coral atolls which at their highest point rise to only 4 metres (12 ft) above sea level, making it particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels caused through global warming. The country is at risk of disappearing beneath the waves as a result of dramatic climate change. Some smaller islets have already disappeared into a watery grave, and it may be only a matter of time before the rest of Kiribati is doomed to a similar fate. For local church leaders the stark choice facing Kiribati is one of either cultural or physical extinction. President Anote Tong believes the process of global warming is irreversible and blames industrialised countries selfishness for their indifference to his nations fate. Other states in the region affected by rising sea levels include the Marshall Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Nauru.

Slowly, very slowly the waters are rising. And in less than 50 years some of the Maldives may have
disappeared. The 1200 coral atolls barely poke above the surface of the Indian Ocean.
0'21": MAHMUD SUJAH, Resort Manager
We are very worried about the sea-level rise but we cannot do much. There is nothing much we can do about it. The islands are hardly two meters above sea level. So this is one of the biggest concerns for us. The coral and the abundant life in the warm blue waters that lap around the Maldives are its lifeblood. Fishing is it's biggest industry, tourism comes a close second. The sea is both a friend and a foe Adam Mynott, BBC News,
A struggle for survival is going on. Even the tiniest rise in sea-level threatens the very existence of these coral islands. And there are constant attempts with sea walls like this, to try to hold those waters back. Its only token resistance. The Maldivians are powerless. The seas are coming in and pleas to the industrial west to cut man's effect on global warming are largely ignored. In the mean time they are scrambling to keep hold of what they've got. They're reclaiming land lost to the sea and even building a brand new island.
MOHAMMED SHAHID, Hulhumale Island Development Office
This was all under water. This land mass was one meter below sea-level. We have reclaimed, dredged the lagoon to get the two meter height. There is nothing much we can do about the geography of our island, so we do need to keep ourselves protected. Experts differ about how much the seas will rise and when. But any rise spells disaster for the Maldives. The people here fear they will simply be washed away. Adam Mynott, BBC News, The Maldives

SLUG/CORRESPONDENT: MALDIVES / ADAM MYNOTT
Now, they're some of the most beautiful islands in the world, but the Maldives are facing a very uncertain future. Many scientists say a rise in sea level - caused by climate change - is threatening their very existence. Eighty per cent of the land is just a metre above sea level. The oceans are thought to be rising by up to 9mm per year. At that rate the entire population may have to abandon the islands before the century is out.

16. MORE DRY LAND
Dopesheet:
Australia has always been known as the driest inhabited continent with a highly variable climate across it's large landscape. For example, between 1942 and 1945 some thirty million sheep are believed to have died due to dry conditions. Between 1991 and 1995 the rural industry average production fell about ten percent, which cost the country AUS of Meteorology. But everyone agrees that this year is the worst drought ever on record. Australia appears to be suffering an accelerated Greenhouse effect, with the pace of global warming increasing faster across the country than in other parts of the world, climatologists said in Australia's Bureau of Meterology 2006 yearly climate report. Fifteen of the twenty hottest years in Australia have occured since 1980 according to Neil Plummer, a senior climatologist in bureau of meteorology.In 2006, half the country was desperate for water and the other half was awash with a year's rainfall for the entire continent. As the first cyclone of the summer bore down on Australia's northwest coast, bringing more rain and potentially destructive winds, the report revealed extraordinary climatic contrasts. The nation received above average rains in 2006, with 490 mm of rain falling against the 472 mm in average, however, key water catchments and rivers shrivelled Southeast of the country where most of the population is concentrated. Some areas experienced rare summer snow falls over Christmas which dampened bushfires, but the drought was still important and major cities imposed tough restrictions on water usage. Australia's average temperature for 2006 was 0.47 Celsius (1 Fahrenheit) above the long-term average, but it was only the eleventh warmest year since 1910, the bureau report said. And despite record daily temperatures in the southeast, last year was cooler than 2005 due to a very active tropical wet season early in the year. An El Nino weather event in the Pacific Ocean bringing severe drought to eastern Australia was responsible for much of the variation, but that was beginning to weaken. Australia's wool market, the world's largest and a main source for the global flood of Chinese textile exports, was also badly hit by this years drought, shrinking major supplies and alarming buyers. Prices have been rising since sales resumed three weeks ago after a year-end recess, taking the main price guide, the Eastern Market Indicator, up 30 percent in the past three months. "I guess largely, drought or semi-drought is the fairly constant part of life out here, has been, perhaps geting worse it seems anyhow, in more recent years, last twenty years I suppose we have seen more tougher years than better ones," says sheep farmer, Richard Walker. Shortages are seen emerging in the current January to July selling period, and continuing into 2008, even if the drought breaks soon, which will keep prices high. The 1990s saw formal Government acknowledgement that drought is part of the natural variability of the Australian climate, with drought relief for farmers and agricultural communities being restricted to times of so-called "exceptional circumstances".

STORYLINE
The hunger crisis in drought-stricken Somalia is worsening. If the rains, due to start this month, fail again, the United Nations World Food Programme has warned the country faces a humanitarian catastrophe. According to the UN, one point seven (M) million people, 710-thousand of them experiencing an acute food shortage, need food assistance of some kind, in addition to the 410-thousand refugees who depend on food aid. The British broadcaster Sky News recently travelled to Somalia's Wajid district, near the Ethiopian border, to assess the situation. Locals told Sky that wells dug into the desert are running dry and that soon, they won't have enough to feed the little cattle they have left. The Somalis, already suffering from malnutrition, rely exclusively on international aid, according to Sky. "Conditions are hard, we don't get enough to eat, even with the UN handout," said one man living at a displacement camps. Each day, long lines of women and children walk for hours to the distribution centre in Wajid where they wait in order to get a sack of supplies - enough to feed an entire family for a month. But drought and famine have brought desperation and people now fight over the precious food distributed by international aid agencies. According to Sky, guards at the food distribution centre have had to fire bullets to keep the crowd away from the supplies. "I would say the situation is critical now, but I'm not sure everybody realises how critical it can become only in the next few months," one aid worker told the British broadcaster at a displacement champ in the outskirts of Wajid. The Sky report suggests that the lack of security is the main problem for aid agencies trying to tackle the crisis. Fighting between rival warlords has made it impossible to fly in shipments of food by plane from the capital, Mogadishu. Also, pirates are operating all along the coast of Somalia, stopping the shipments by boat. As a result, the aid supplies have to be brought in by road. But as they are transported through different warlords' territories, each clan takes its own cut out of the shipment.

Dopesheet: As millions of people in Eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa fight a daily battle against starvation,the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and its members are working around the clock to prevent an evolving food insecurity situation in pockets around the region turning into a general famine with horrific consequences. The International Federation has now issued five emergency appeals totaling 20 million Swiss francs ( 12.7 million/US ). All the East African countries, to varying degrees, find themselves in a similar critical situation due to insufficient rains and subsequent crop failures. "The food insecurity in these countries constitutes a humanitarian crisis that is jeopardizing the well-being of millions of people," says the International Federation's Disaster Management Coordinator for East Africa, Steve Penny. "The drought is exacerbating an already precarious situation in many of the countries due to pre-existing poverty, conflict and inadequate health and sanitation services," he adds. While Kenya has had some rain in the last 2-3 weeks at the onset of the main rainy season, it's still not enough to guarantee the harvest needed in June-July leaving farmers, pastoralists and other vulnerable groups in a precarious situation. The drought has already begun to have a regional impact as people move across national borders in search of food, water, work or health services. In Burundi, for instance, where more than two million people are affected, lack of rain is only one part of the problem. A large number of refugees from conflicts are expected to return home from camps in Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the coming months. The International Federation is appealing for funds to support these returnees with shelter, health services, water and sanitation and food. In neighboring Tanzania the situation is only just beginning to be recognized as a catastrophe on a similar scale. A recent International Federation assessment concluded that the food shortage is acute and widespread, affecting all assessed districts, accounting for nearly 85% of all districts in the country. It identified some 3.7 million people (nearly 11% of the mainland population) who are currently food insecure. The crisis has affected the agricultural market, making maize prices 85% higher, whilst cattle prices have plunged to levels where a single cow would cost 20 kilos of grain, creating a severe cost ratio imbalance. The International Federation, working with its member National Societies in the region, estimates that more than 11 million people are in desperate need for assistance. In line with the capacity of the Red Cross/Red Crescent in East Africa, and considering the operations already underway by other national and international agencies, the International Federation plans to provide direct support to more than 800,000 vulnerable people over the next 6-12 months. To help tackle the enormous task already underway by the National Societies and the Federation, the Regional delegation in Nairobi has set up a regional Food Security Unit which will oversee the operations in cooperation with the National Societies in the region.

Dopesheet: China's gradual transition to a market economy, which has been proceeding for two decades, has put China among the world's fastest growing economies. While economic grows, China is faced with environment problem, environmental pollution from coal combustion and enterprises are damaging human health, air, water guality and agriculutre. In 3 years China will be the 3rd greatest producer of coal dioxide all over the world ahead of America. The economic development and its industralization is much important for the chinese government than environemnt. The non-government organisation "Global" in Beijing make efforts to bring the representatives from administration, industry and investors together in order to have talks on the reduction of air pollution. The change of the climate affects the chinese agriculture. The drought in Sechuan shows dramatic pictures, people getting thirsty, rivers drying. And the South of China is hit by heavy rains, people are killed by landslide, other people have to be evacuated. The car industry is happy to watch million of cars moving the streets of Beijing - without catalyser - smoke in Beijing occurence nearly every day.

STORYLINE:
A British report on climate change said that fast-industrialising economies like India and China will have to control their greenhouse emissions if the earth is to be saved from a calamity on the scale of the World Wars and the Great Depression. The report by Sir Nicholas Stern, a senior government economist, said that unchecked global warming would devastate the world economy unless urgent action was taken. Rising sea levels, heavier floods and more intense droughts could displace 200 million people by the middle of the century if the problem is ignored, said the report, which was released on 30 October. Stern is scheduled to discuss his report next week at the annual UN Climate Change Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. While the report argues that environmentalism and economic growth can go hand in hand in the battle against global warming, developing countries are finding it difficult to balance climate change and energy security. The United States with Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea produce of half the world's greenhouse gases, and the six countries say they have endorsed 98 collaborative projects meant to find new technologies to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases believed to be warming Earth's atmosphere. Countries like India are already seeing signs of climate disruptions - monsoons are more erratic and there are perennial floods and droughts. "India definitely is causing a lot of pollution primarily because the use of fossil fuels, (the) automobile industry is also rising," said Anish Andheria, an environmentalist. "We should not close our eyes against issues of pollution and global warming, but at the same time it is unfair, definitely, that fingers are pointed at third world countries," Andheria said adding that the average American consumes 30-40 times more energy than the average Indian. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday criticised a treaty aimed at reducing damage to the ozone layer, provisions for international sanctions in the pact would damage the economic growth of developing nations. Speaking to delegates from 189 countries at a meeting in New Delhi to review the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, Singh said trade restriction would hamper efforts to fight poverty. "Such restrictions may adversely impact economic growth and poverty alleviation efforts. We need to be more creative and less adversarial in our approach to compliance," he said. The protocol was adopted in 1987 following the 1985 discovery of the growing hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic. Thinning in the ozone layer, largely due to the chemical compounds chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, leaked from refrigerators, air conditioners and other devices, exposes Earth to harmful solar rays. The protocol calls for the reduction of the production and consumption of CFCs. Lately, Asian countries have had trouble meeting their CFC reduction targets due to high economic growth rates. Scientists credit the protocol with reducing the potential damage to the ozone layer.
Dopesheet: Scientists credit the protocol with reducing the potential damage to the ozone layer. While this year's Antarctic ozone hole is said to be the biggest ever, it is expected to recover. While there are year-to-year variations, scientists expect a slow recovery of the ozone layer by the year 2065. Andheria suggested alternative paths India could explore in order to generate electricity, namely by developing solar and wind energy systems. Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam recently became the first customer of a vaccine refrigerator run by solar power.

It also creates problems for development of the vaccine because you would have to have four components in any vaccine that would be developed. This is being worked on but it's not a simple undertaking."
30. Health worker sprays chemicals in Bangkok suburb
Dopesheet: Thai authorities fear the country could be facing an epidemic of the potentially fatal disease,dengue fever. The mosquito-borne illness has already killed 15 people since January; three times as many as in the same period last year, and suspected cases are up by almost 45%. And the peak season hasn't even begun yet. This week a nationwide campaign will urge Thais to help stop the epidemic before it starts. The drive is on in Bangkok to cleanse every neighbourhood of the "aedes aegypti" mosquito; the pest that carries dengue fever. It's an uphill task; it breeds prolifically in urban areas, where sanitation is often poor, and spraying alone has little impact. The government's main thrust will be an intensive media offensive in very province, aimed at disrupting the breeding cycle. The message is simple; get rid of all standing water where the larvae live, and hatch every seven days. For Pumpan Pornsumbun, it's too late. The thirteen year-old schoolboy died from the most virulent strain of dengue, at the start of the month. His struggle for life became a national focus, and his death has done more than anything to underline the impending danger. This Bangkok hospital alone has seen a 20% rise in cases of dengue fever this year. The good news though is that the chances of recovery are good. According to the World Health Organisation, even the most dangerous form of dengue will kill less than 1% of its victims, given modern, intensive treatment. When Rachika Chareonasawasuk started showing the classic flu-like symptoms and the distinctive rash, her mother, Tassanee, wasted no time getting her to hospital. She's now well on the mend. The aedes aegypti mosquito has spread its global range alarmingly in the last few decades. Dengue's now endemic in more than 100 countries, including the Americas. An estimated 40% of the world's population is at risk. Nowhere's had more experience with dengue fever than Thailand and Thai scientists are at the forefront of trying to find a vaccine. Researchers at Bangkok's Mahidol University hope to start final human trials very soon. They hope a vaccine could be ready within five years. But it's a complex disease and the challenge is still formidable. Until protection is available through a vaccine, the simple approach like this week's campaign in Thailand will remain the most effective way of keeping dengue at bay.

Instead many trees and flowers have started to blossom. Temperatures reached the 15 degree celsius level yesterday, and forecasts predict even higher temperatures especially in the Southeast of Germany where readings are expected to go up as high as 16 or 17 degrees today and tomorrow. Biologists and climate researchers are worried that nature will suffer from too high temeperatures. Already now, the winter break for many animals has been disrupted, and in the Baltic Sea jellyfish population grows to record numbers because the water is so warm.
