As global warming suicide pacts go, this one is pretty alarming. Apparently, an Argentinian couple had shot their two children and then themselves over concerns about rising temperatures. From the Daily Mail:

Their son Francisco, two, died instantly after being hit in the back.

But their unnamed daughter cheated death after the bullet from her dad's handgun missed her vital organs.

The daughter, 7 months, survived without medical treatment for three days before being discovered, and is now making a strong recovery.
