Polar Bear Day

The good people at the Center for Biological Diversity have declared today "Polar Bear Day." It's not that big a stretch, since a bunch of science-types have declared 2007 the International Polar Year. So what the heck? Help save the polar bear. Incidentally, a little while back I was commissioned to write a report on polar bear ecology and conservation. I'm relatively pleased with it, too, if I don't say so myself.

Do people know bears aren't nice?
