Mar subiria três metros com degelo no Pólo Sul
Novos cálculos indicam que, se a zona ocidental da Antárctida entrasse em colapso devido às alterações climáticas, os oceanos subiriam em média 3,3 metros. Na costa portuguesa, esse valor poderia chegar aos três metros e meio, mas a América do Norte seria a mais afectada, com uma elevação do nível do mar da ordem dos quatro metros.

State nixes marriage of transsexual, man
Tennessee authorities have invalidated the 18-month marriage of a transgender woman and a man, saying the state considers them both men.
Jo T. Rittenberry, 46, was born a man and claims to have had sex reassignment surgery in Canada.
The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle reported that Rittenberry had officials legally change the gender on her Kentucky birth certificate and Tennessee driver's license.
Rittenberry married Jeffery Scott Phillips, 36, in November 2007.
Kelly Farmer, director of communications at the Davidson County Clerk's Office, said Tennessee authorities will not honor the marriage because Rittenberry was not born a woman.
Tennessee does not permit same-sex marriage and does not recognize gender change, even after sex reassignment surgery.
