FEEDBACK

摘要

It started with a whimper, and ended up with lawyers. In 2006, Arctic wildlife biologist Charles Monnett reported sighting dead polar bears in the Beaufort Sea, concluding that "drowning-related deaths... may increase in the future if the observed trend of regression of pack ice... continues" (6 May 2006, p 10). Someone complained, possibly miffed that photos of beleaguered polar bears then captured the public imagination.
