    In North Dakota, more than 80 protesters were arrested on Saturday
    after clashing with police near a pipeline construction site,
    according to the local sheriff's department, which pepper sprayed
    demonstrators....The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and environmental
    activists have been protesting construction of the 1,100-mile
    (1,886-km) pipeline in North Dakota for several months, saying it
    threatens the water supply and sacred sites....The pipeline, being
    built by a group of companies led by Energy Transfer Partners LP,
    would be the first to bring Bakken shale from North Dakota directly
    to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast....Supporters say the pipeline
    would provide a safer and more cost-effective way to transport
    Bakken shale to the U.S. Gulf than by road or rail.....Actors
    Frances Fisher, (L), Jaden Smith, and Kendrick Sampson (R) raise
    their hands into the air as they stand with an attendee during
    a*climate change*rally in solidarity with protests of the pipeline

    Sea level rise is a religious issue | Religion News Service

    The waters are rising. Global warming is real. What does God think
    of all this?...
    Our congregation, Temple Solel of Hollywood, Florida, has created
    two coalitions – the Higher Ground Initiative and Sea Level Rise
    Solutions. The Higher Ground Initiative has been recognized by the
    Reform movement’s Religious Action Center....
    The Higher Ground Initiative has called for the Sabbath of November
    4-5, 2016 – the Sabbath when Jews read the story of Noah – to be Sea
    Level Rise Sabbath....We are asking congregations to teach about
    SLR, its implications, its challenges, some of its creative
    solutions.....Why?...Because you cannot tell the Jewish story
    without talking about water: crossing the Red Sea out of Egypt;
    crossing the Jordan River to get into the land of Israel; weeping
    "by the waters of Babylon" (Psalm 137). Jews have been merchants and
    traders, and you need bodies of water to make that happen.....But,
    one thing is for sure....The Noah option of avoidance of the looming
    issue will not work. We dare not be lulled into a false sense of
    security, thinking that the forecasts call for a crisis in fifty
    years – "and we will not be alive then, anyway!"....We cannot find
    ourselves in Noah’s situation – staying silent and building an ark
    just for himself, his family, and a selection of God’s
    creatures....Because, it is not just about water damage to homes and
    property. Rising waters means more moisture, which means more mold,
    which means more risk to health, which means rising health costs,
    which means over-burdened health care systems…..This is big....If
    the proverbial boat is Noah’s ark, we are all in this one together.
