Hermine's damage fueled by global warming, scientists say </a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">Storm surges pushed by Hermine, the
once and future hurricane that on Sunday was moving up the US
eastern seaboard, could be even more damaging because sea levels
have risen by a foot due to global warming, climate scientists
say.</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Michael Mann of the Pennsylvania State University
noted that this century's one-foot sea-level rise in New York
City meant 25 more square miles flooded during Hurricane Sandy
in 2012, causing billions more in damage..."We are already
experiencing more and more flooding due to climate change in
every storm," said Michael Oppenheimer, a geosciences professor
at Princeton University. "And it’s only the beginning."</font><br>

On September 3, the Dakota Access pipeline company attacked
Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they protested
against the $3.8 billion pipeline's construction. If completed,
the pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of crude per day
from North Dakota's Bakken oilfield to Illinois. The project has
faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe
and members of nearly 100 more tribes from across the U.S. and
Canada.</font><br>

warming is melting the Greenland Ice Sheet, fast </a></b><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing 110
million Olympic size swimming pools worth of water each year.
... It is this last type of ice loss that most affects ocean
levels because as the water runs into the oceans, it raises sea
levels. This is in contrast to melting sea ice – since it is
already floating in ocean waters, its potential to raise ocean
levels is very small....the western side of the ice sheet is
losing much more ice than the eastern side. They also found that
a small part of the ice sheet (less than 1% of the sheet) is
responsible for more than 10% of the mass loss....To put this in
perspective, the Greenland Ice Sheet is losing approximately 110
million Olympic size swimming pools worth of water each year.</font></blockquote>
