Ice tends to be cool - it's the fact that it's warming up that's the problem.

Even more amazing - truly so:

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Polar bears are in deep trouble because of global
warming and other factors and deserve federal protection under the
Endangered Species Act, the Bush administration is proposing
Wednesday."

I feel a little sorry for some Republicans.  They've been forced to admit
that thier Administration lied through its teeth (and continues to lie)
about Iraq and international terrorism - and now they're finding it was
lying about global warming too.
