Is global warming causing Chicago's mild summer? Hope not, 'cause it's also screwing over tiny little Tuvalu. Can coral atolls grow as fast as water levels rise? Probably not. Don't worry, .tv domains will still be for sale (after all - Tuvaluans have to have some way to pay their UN dues). It's just that all the DNS will end up being managed in New Zealand.
