Massive
icebergs floating towards coast of New Zealand
It is the second time in 78 years that an iceberg moves. 100 icebergs were first seen off the coast of Macquarie Island, that is an Australian area near Tasmania. These icebergs seem to be now 200 miles away from New Zealand.

Current Event #3


Evidence is still fuzzy on cell phones, cancer
New reasherches from the Pittsburgh University, Cancer Institute, show that radiation from cell phones may cause cancer. Radiation is caused by sending calls from the phone. It is still harmfull to hold them close to the body and parents should not allow children to use cell phones, just incase of an emergency.
We think that this will affect us because alot of people depend on cell phones for communication and if the cell phones really cause cancer it will make alot of people die.

Current Event #2


Galciers disappearing in Kilimanjaro
This article is about how the glaciers are deasappering in Kilimanjaro. Scientific researchs show that the ice is melting 1% each year. It is now 85% lower than it was in 1912. The temperature is -35 degrees and it is still melting. If it keeps melting the world's water will rise and it will sink about half of the world. All the coasts will sink and only the center of each country and/or continent will survive.
If these climate problems continue, the glaciers will disappear in the next two decades. If this happens Tanzania will lose 50 million dolars because all the turism that those glaciers brought would desappear and alot of people would lose their jobs bacause they work in turism to show the glaciers.
We think that if this continues, its not only going to affect Tanzania economicly but all the world because it will rise the water's level and all of the places that have to do with ice will drop down economicly too.
