Just in time for Earth Day at your local supermarket newsstand, Newsweek has published \u201c100 Places to Remember Before They Disappear,\u201d a shrill, apocalyptic, scaremongering photo album of favorite hot spots the world over that are threatened with destruction by global warming.<\/P>
\n
The lush west coast of Kauai, Hawaii? Ruined.<\/P>
\n
The Caribbean? Destroyed.<\/P>
\n
Big Sur, California? Wiped out by wild fires.<\/P>
\n
Chicago, Illinois? Parched and flooded. (Huh?). <\/P>
