Science – In what some scientists see as another alarming consequence of global warming, thousands of Pacific walruses above the Arctic Circle were killed in stampedes earlier this year after the disappearance of sea ice caused them to crowd onto the shoreline in extraordinary numbers.
What a miserable bunch of comments!
Why bother wearing out your fingertips to produce such banality?
I'd rather spend my time with walruses than in such jaded human company.
They are unique and marvellous creatures and warm-blooded mammals.
OTOH the one human being who MOST resembles a walrus is very high up on my "must to avoid" list and about as cold-blooded as they get.
No prizes for guessing who but acknowledgement!
He did NOT sing "I am the Walrus".
Are you saying Christian Conservative anti-enviro obstructionists are on the level of dogs dogs?
I'm with ya on that. Except for the insult to the dogs, who probably won't dump heavy metal pollutants into our air and water for money, knowing it will f*ck over innocent children, and then say God wants them to.
"The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate change policy formulation.
Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by government Ârepresentatives. The great Âmajority of IPCC contributors and Âreviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a consensus view among experts."
"Contrary to the impression left by the IPCC Summary reports:
Recent observations of phenomena such as glacial retreats, sea-level rise and the migration of temperature-sensitive species are not evidence for abnormal climate change, for none of these changes has been shown to lie outside the bounds of known natural variability."

The Christians and corporate Neocons who deny Global Warming is shrinking.
TOO BAD THEY VIRULENTLY BLOCKED RESEARCH AND DEBATE ABOUT IT SINCE IT WAS OBSERVED 25 YEARS AGO! And now we are at crisis.
Conservative as**oles...
When it gets bad, take a Christian Republican's water if you need any. No one will mind.
As long as people commute to work, heat their homes and travel it ain't gonna change!
The sun is the BIGGEST culprit to global warming and their isn't much we can do about that.
Enjoy the warmer weather.
Besides, I'm not about to let the economy go into hock over a few walruses
WE ARE ALREADY IN HOCK. (Everybody but FoxNews knows that.)
And species extinction could seriously affect our food sources.
Not to mention the karma of intentionally letting a major species be destroyed by humans.
