euronews science: French sound alpine glacier alarm

Published on Jan 17, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.net/ Around the globe, in all latitudes, at all altitudes, glaciers are receding and disappearing at a rapid pace. At a speed that often exceeds even the most alarmist previsions made a few years ago. This tendency has been recently confirmed by a study of the French Alps carried out by researchers of the University of Savoie, located near Chambery.

When we talk about melting glaciers and global warming we often think of faraway polar regions. But here we are in the heart of Europe, close to Mont Blanc, and the surface area of glaciers is shrinking remarkably.

Europe - Eurozone inflation dips

Published on Jan 17, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.net/ Inflation in the eurozone fell more than previously expected in December.

Consumer prices in the 17 countries sharing the euro rose 2.7 percent compared with the same month a year earlier.

Not including volatile energy costs, inflation was 1.9 percent, and stripping out food and fuel it was 1.6 percent.

That should give the European Central Bank more room to cut interest rates as the region's economy heads for recession.

Carnival (NYSE:CCL) Sells Off 17% On Costa Concordia Disaster

Uploaded by FinancialNewsOnline on Jan 17, 2012

Shares of Carnival Corp. (NYSE:CCL) are off 17% in premarket trading after the company's deadly accident off of the Italian coast and news that it may have been caused by human error.

The catastrophe transpired during the peak of "wave season," during which time almost 33% of all cruise vacations are booked.

Making matters worse, the company's CEO and Chairman, Micky Arison, has opted to oversee the response to Carnival's worst accident from Miami, more than 5,000 miles away from the site.

Leaving damage control to his regional managers will not create a shining image for the company with the press after an accident that left 6 dead and another 29 missing.
