Global Warming! DDT! Penguins!

Posted on | May 7, 2008 | 1 Comment 

In a sort of grand convergence of anti-environmental flypaper, a souffle of red meat, New Scientist just sent out this news flash: Penguins exposed to DDT from melting glaciers

Decades after most countries stopped using the insecticide DDT, frozen stores of the chemical are now dripping out of melting Antarctic glaciers – and into penguins.

This is going to be so entertaining.
