35,000 Walrus Come Ashore In Alaska

the eric conspiracy writes "Lack of sea ice in the Arctic has forced record numbers of walrus to come ashore in Alaska. The walrus, looking for a place to rest have come ashore in Point Lay Alaska. The walrus normally rest on floating ice. "We are witnessing a slow-motion catastrophe in the Arctic," Lou Leonard, vice president for climate change at the World Wildlife Fund, said in a statement that was reported by CNN. "As this ice dwindles, the Arctic will experience some of the most dramatic changes our generation has ever witnessed. This loss will impact the annual migration of wildlife through the region, threaten the long-term health of walrus and polar bear populations, and change the lives of those who rely on the Arctic ecosystem for their way of life."

    I can't believe Sarah Palin is going to be the one to finally push the USA government into actually doing something about this planet-wide ecology disaster.

    I banged Bristol Palin. She does a neat trick with her tongue.

    Her mom taught her that trick.

    I taught it to her mom.

    A walrus taught me, at a Slashdot meet up in Point Lay Alaska.
