  3. I doubt if we have enough thick ice left for ringed seals to successfully rear young. This will leave polar bears hungry. I doubt if we have enough ice flows over shallow water for walrus to rear their young. . . . I think that over the next 5 years we will see a shocking loss of Arctic wildlife -- Even if we do not set any new records this year.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
