"Two U.S. explorers plan to start a four-month summer expedition to the North Pole next month to gather information on the habitat of an animal they believe could be the first victim of global warming--the polar bear," Reuters reports from Los Angeles.

"Project Thin Ice 2006" will be the first such expedition since 2004. Reuters explains that the explorers had to call off the mission they planned last year because of--we kid you not--"unusually heavy snow and ice."  ¶ 5:13 PM

I don't know what's going on, but something's up in the animal world. Look at this rabbit! Then look at this cat! Could it be global warming? Who knows.

Maybe she does...  ¶ 5:17 PM
