Round-up

- A teacher living in Somalia, amid the fighting and chaos, corresponds with an American journalist via email, conveying what he sees.

- Experts say there could be 200 million climate refugees (people displaced by changes in their environment caused by global warming) by 2050. The UN’s General Assembly is expected to draw up a resolution connecting this to peace and security.

- Interesting story of two men: one who was quite successful at publishing in the New York Times’ letters section; the other not so much.

- “Climate change is disproportionately affecting the poor and minorities in the United States”

- What the way you hold your glass says about you. I'm apparantly "The Jack the Lad".
