An island that India and Bangladesh have argued over for nearly thirty years has disappeared due to rising sea levels. The rising sea levels in that region are one of the subjects in Dan Grossman’s public radio documentary on climate change, Heat of the Moment. Other subjects explored in the program are the heat wave in France several years ago that killed over 40,000, and severe droughts in South Africa. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36020131/ns/us_news-environment/

Dan Grossman will travel to South America in April to report on an indigenous climate summit in Bolivia.
He’ll also report from Amazonian Ecuador. Ecuador has proposed an innovative plan to combat global warming and preserve biodiversity. The country will leave a billion barrels of oil beneath the biologically-diverse Yasuni park permanently underground—if the world compensates the Andean nation. Will the plan work?
