Latest news on "Climate change" and "pandemic"

Especially since NASA earlier this year said that global warming is beyond reasonable doubt, and since this week scientists announced that they have cracked the code of the 1918 influenza pandemic, I feel it has become quite essential to stay reasonably informed on these topics.

The AIDS epidemic in Africa, too, is so vast and terrible that I feel that knowledge and awareness are important.

So I've added two big new news pages, each with 100 headlines, that pop up from Daily Planet News, viz:

Climate Change News (popup) :: Pandemic News (popup)

Another new feed at DPN is Le Monde Diplomatique (France's great newspaper in a monthly roundup in English). DPN now has more than 150 newsfeeds all on the one page, and some of those feeds themselves draw on dozens or hundreds of sources, so DPN is BIG, but all on one page. (The usual online news sources only give you one -- their own.) I keep DPN open and minimized -- it refreshes itself every 15 minutes so a few times a day I can drop in for the latest world headlines from many sources.
