CNN.com - Report: Arctic warming imperils polar bears - May 15, 2002

Well, for one thing a lot of them live on ice sheets over water, don't they? If the ice melts, that would be kind of difficult... I understand, but dislike, the "symbol species" idea used by the (now one-and-only!) WWF and other environmental groups. It's not just polar bears that are endangered, but animals of many types through the arctic ecosystem. But the polar bears are showy, and they're so cute when they're computer-animated!
