More than 100 lakes in the Arctic have disappeared over the past three decades, according to a team of Canadian and American scientists, who say climate change at high latitudes may be part of the problem.

In the June 3 issue of the journal Science, the researchers report on the changes they tracked in 10,000 large lakes over 500,000 square kilometres of tundra from the early 1970s to 1997-98.

President Bush attributes the climate change to "Summer is coming of course it is going to be warmer...duh"

OK not really....:LOL

Maybe they should build a Disney World up there. THEN we'd see some government action.

You know it's bad when you wouldn't be surprised if he DID say that.

But that's no excuse for not DOING something about it now. And it's no excuse for voting for politicians who refuse to acknowledge the problem and take action.
