Tribune: John Swigert: OK, Houston, weve had a problem here. Houston: This is Houston. Say again please. Jim Lovell: Houston, weve had a problem. That famous and chilling conversation by the crew of Apollo 13 aboard their ill-fated spacecraft could very well describe the Earths condition at this time. Today, we are seeing rising sea levels from global warming that can have devastating consequences. The rising seas combined with waves generated by high winds, storm surges, storm runoff...
