...question is whether the polar bear is actually in enough danger to warrant official government protection. Last year, a study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) concluded that two-thirds of the world's polar bears could disappear in the next 50 years if Arctic sea ice continues to evaporate at its current rate - sea ice is essential for polar bears, serving as the platforms from which they hunt. Similar discussion is ongoing in Canada, where two-thirds of the world's estimated 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears reside. Last week, a Canadian scientific committee ruled that...

Every note he hits, every yelp, scream, and ironic refrain is uniquely his; this far into his career, he still sounds completely into it. It?...
