"NEW BERN, NC — Tyechia Buck and her 12-year-old son camped out on the second floor of her townhouse during last September's Hurricane Florence—at least at first.

The town slowly disappeared underwater, starting at the Trent Court housing projects, a small collection of brown brick townhouses."
"Overflowing trash cans are the least of the problems."
""On January 10, during the third week of the ongoing government shutdown, a dead sperm whale carcass was spotted floating about a mile off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. "
"The Trump administration's bid to restrict the Clean Water Act's reach over streams and wetlands is backed by an analysis showing the proposal wouldn't reduce environmental benefits when it comes to dredging and filling waterways."
"A federal appeals court on Friday again rejected a broad constitutional challenge to California's climate change regime for transportation fuels."

Big changes start next January, though, when long-debated standards from the International Maritime Organization mandate steep cuts of sulfur emissions associated with respiratory disease and acid rain."
