Health bill price soars past trillion amid debate
Washington sources say the House health care bill may cost 1.2 trillion dollars over ten years, well above Obama’s 900 billion figure. CBO estimates near 1 trillion for expansion, with Democrats arguing added public health and reform provisions. Pelosi defends cost as fiscally sound and expands coverage for 36 million Americans. Republican leaders counter with a nearly 1.3 trillion price tag and plan to push alternatives, aiming to hinder passage and avoid preexisting-condition bans. The timing threatens House-Senate negotiations and may hasten informal talks.

Snow cap melting on Kilimanjaro threatens peak
Researchers led by Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State report Kilimanjaro ice loss accelerated since 1912, with 85 percent of 1912 glacial ice gone by 2007 and over a quarter of 2000 ice gone by 2007. They link tropical glacier retreat to rising near surface temperatures and changing clouds, with similar trends noted on Mount Kenya, Rwenzoris, and in the Andes and Himalayas.
