Progress toward lasting peace may be similarly restrained by Abbas' weak position. He must wrestle with the new Hamas government, which was sworn in last week--by videophone because Israel refused to let Hamas officials travel between the West Bank and Gaza. Israel refuses to talk with Hamas until the militants disarm and abandon their vow to destroy Israel.

Other animals are also in trouble. In February, in what should have been midwinter in the far north, Nunavut's capital city, Iqaluit, was a balmy 5*noneC and rainy. When...
