Climate Change

In 1872 Lewis Carroll wrote the following lines:
"The time has come the walrus said - to talk of many things - of shoes & ships & sealing wax - of cabbages and kings - and why THE SEA IS BOILING HOT and whether pigs have wings." Now 140+ years later, if the sea isn't boiling it certainly is warming. Yesterday we read that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has declined to create "floating platforms" for Pacific walruses that come ashore because they lack summer sea ice in a phenomenon attributed to climate change.
