More Global Warming Cheeriness

I was in the gym last night and I saw on Anderson Cooper's 360 show (I think that was it) they had a piece about global warming that showed all these polar bears and talked about how their birth rates are down. Polar bears get most of their summer calories by hunting seal pups from ice floes in the spring. Which is difficult if there are no ice floes. No summer calories, no baby polar bears. The bears have been observed eating a lot of stuff they don't normally eat, including stalking caribou and foraging for berries. They also mentioned on the show how a research ship in the Arctic found a bunch of young walruses coming up to the ship, which is unusual, because they are usually accompanied for a couple years by their mothers. The researchers theorized that they had been abandoned because they couldn't keep up with the rest of whatever a group of walruses is called.

Ya know, the human race knocking itself off because its stupidity I can accept easily enough (you reap what you sow). But it bugs me that we have to drag all these other species along with us. :-p

Anyway, there's a new movie coming out called An Inconvenient Truth featuring Al Gore that talks about the problems we face due to climate change, which I hope folks have a chance to see. There's more info here at the Climate Crisis website.
