Most of the global warming hand-wringing to date has focused on adverse impacts--pine beetles killing off forests, polar bears losing ice caps. Finally, today, an article on ninemsn.com puts a positive spin on an animal population--the marmot. Apparently in Colorado, the marmot average weight is increasing and its population is expanding as longer summers give the animals enough time to put on weight, repopulate and then go back to hibernate. Score one point for global warming.
