The dangers of GLOBAL WARMING: Too much ice???

The Global Warming Jihadists love to tell us how all those cute, cuddly little Arctic animals are all going to DIE because the earth is warming up like a cat on a hot tin roof. Well, perhaps some of those animals might prefer if things were a bit warmer; here is an excerpt from an article found in the Seattle Times:

Ice forces sea otters to tundra's dangers

By The Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — An unbudging sheath of sea ice has blocked off the waters where the Alaska Peninsula's sea otters forage, forcing the starving animals inland on a search for food and making them easy prey for wolves and humans.

Some otters have waddled or slid on their bellies for several miles onto the tundra near Port Heiden, where they have been attacked by dogs, killed for their pelts or have died of malnourishment.

No one knows how many have come ashore, said village Fire Chief Mark Kosbruk. Local Natives have skinned at least 17 to make hats, gloves and blankets from the luxurious hides, he said.

Once forced onto land, the sea otters' chances of survival fall sharply. They travel awkwardly and slowly, pulling with front paws while dragging flipperlike hind feet.

Their range stretches from the Aleutian Islands to Cook Inlet. They are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, with numbers dropping more than 50 percent in the past 20 years to about 48,000 animals, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates.
