World Alert:Clams and Climate;Terrorist Funding
Clams are giving us information about what's happening in the ocean as a result of climate change.There's a lot of ups and downs in climate in particular places.You have to look at records in their totality,British scientists studying the clams say.Their research may become part of a UN report on climate change.
Clams are sensitive to climate change.They do not like warming temperatures and their reproduction is negatively affected by them,Antarctic research shows.*
The market for male skin care and grooming products in South Korea amounted to a fifth of the products' sales worldwide.It's because of the gangnam style movement and celebrity promotions in the country.The male skin care and grooming market is worth approximately 20 billion dollars globally.*
Al-Qaida affiliate al-Shabab's leader,Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr,or Godane,is blaming the Kenyan government and its Western backers for their deadly attack on Westgate Mall in Nairobi,whom he says have killed Somali women and children.There will be more such attacks,he warned.He is not a charismatic figure,but the 36 year old militant has a lot of power.He fought beside the Taliban when America invaded Afghanistan after the 9-11 attacks.
The charcoal industry in East Africa is possibly being exploited,along with ivory to fund the terrorism.The authorities are seeing increased elephant poaching since 2008 as the price of ivory soared.In the last 40 years,we've seen a steady level of poaching of ivory that has gone out from Kenya thorugh Somalia,and al-Shabab controls the border there,so it's a credible possibilty.*

Copenhagen Conference Begins Struggle
Opening the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen,Denmark on Monday,Connie Hedegaard,Conference President,said this is the time to commit.And it is doable.Fifteen thousand delegates will strive for agreement for two weeks.U.S. delegate John Pershing remarked that the science on the issue is incredibly robust.Ms.Hedegaard,however,felt that the delegates were not there yet.In the next few weeks,she explained,we have to work really hard and find both public and private money for the efforts.We must get it done now.Compromise,agree,find concrete solutions.Leaders have made it very clear:they expect to adopt an agreement 11 days from now.Let's mark this meeting in history:the entrance to the low carbon age.Let's get it done,and let's get it done now,Ms.Hedegaard urged.
The delegates were shown a video dramatization of a young Caucasian girl suffering at the hands of global warming.In spite of a last minute controversy over rambunctious emails from a conference supporter,most governments are on board with the vast majority of the world's scientists,and are determined to address the issue of climate change with definite measures.
