Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Global Warming Could Make Polar Bears Extinct by 2100

HeadlineNov 09, 2004

In environmental news, a new study on climate change in the Arctic shows that polar bears may go extinct by the end of the century due to global warming. The study is the work of over 300 scientists who have conducted the most comprehensive assessment of Arctic climate change over the past four years. The scientists determined the Arctic has warmed 10 times as fast as the world as a whole. Robert Corell, a senior fellow at the American Meteorological Society, said, “The Arctic is really warming now. These areas provide a bellwether of what’s coming to planet Earth.”
