[Bummer: Trace amounts of CO2 allegedly reducing snow cover, which allegedly causes marmots to freeze to death]

Another issue is the reduction of snow cover and the loss of its insulation for hibernating animals across the Arctic. Hik takes particular interest in the plight of the hoary marmot's winter sleep.

"The marmot stores up enough energy to raise its body temperature from as low as three degrees Celsius to 38 C for brief periods during hibernation," he said. But less snow cover insulation requires the marmot to heat itself up more often to combat the cold. "We think that more animals may die during hibernation because they just can't store enough energy to bring their body temperatures up."

Desperate Liberals Cry Racism

They would have us believe there's nothing wrong with Obamacare. There's nothing wrong with cap and trade. There's nothing wrong with bailing out the banks. There's nothing wrong with the government owning General Motors and Chrysler. There's nothing wrong with any of that. The only reason people oppose it is because they're racist? That's laughable. It doesn't fly any longer. Nobody is going to buy into this, and yet they continue to play the card.

Al Gore "Green-iacs" Set Up Shop In The Valley; Take Aim At McCain - Phoenix News - Valley Fever

Arizona Senator John McCain is the new target of the "green" movement, so much so that Repower America, an offshoot of Al Gore's Alliance For Climate Protection, has opened an office right here in Phoenix.

Operating out of a rented house, Repower Arizona, as this faction is called, claims to be a non-partisan organization "commited to educating the global community about the urgency of implementing comprehensive solutions to the climate crisis."

Or, as South Park fans everywhere refer to it; defeating "Manbearpig."
