NOTES FROM THE ECO FUTURE


||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS - Walrus pups rest on sea ice while their
mothers hunt for food. A new study shows more and more abandoned pups
are being stranded on floating islands as ice islands melt. Also, sadly,
mother walruses are abandoning them to follow the ice further north.

Australia's Climate Action Network reports that higher temperatures are
killing off eucalyptus trees while higher levels of CO2 in the
atmosphere are decreasing the nutritional value of the eucalyptus leaves
Koala bears eat. They warn that the cute furry creatures could become
extinct in the next few decades.
