CLIMATE CHANGE WILL DESTROY US
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a
global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural
disasters.
A secret report, suppressed by US defense chiefs and
obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will
be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a
'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts,
famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.
The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring
the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear
threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy
supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of
terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.
'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,'
concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would
define human life.'

CULLING PIGS IN FLU FIGHT, EGYPT ANGERS HERDERS AND DISMAYS U.N.
Cairo -- Egypt has begun forcibly slaughtering the country's
pig herds as a precaution against swine flu, a move that the
United Nations described as "a real mistake" and one that is
prompting anger among the country's pig farmers.
The decision, announced Wednesday, is already adding new
strains to the tense relations between Egypt's majority Muslims
and its Coptic Christians. Most of Egypt's pig farmers are
Christians, and some accuse the government of using swine flu
fears to punish them economically.

NEW CREDIT CARD LIMITATIONS IN THE US
Credit card companies in the US will soon be bound by new restrictions on their ability to charge fees, or raise interest rates on existing borrowings.
The bill is designed to protect credit card users from unexpected fees or increases to their interest rates.
The US government has been concerned to tighten its regulation of the banking system in the light of the credit crunch and banking crisis.
"This cements a victory for every American consumer who has ever suffered at the hands of the credit card industry, " said Senator Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate banking committee.
Americans currently owe nearly $1 trillion on their credit cards. The US government has been concerned to tighten its regulation of the banking system in the light of the credit crunch and banking crisis.

Mr. Obama praised Captain Phillips for his "courage and leadership and selfless concern for his crew, " and he said he was "very proud" of the Navy and other American agencies involved in the operation.
