GLOBAL WARMING A
recent study suggests global warming is altering marine life in Monterey
Bay. Spencer Michels reports. JIM LEHRER: A spokesman for President Bush made it clear today the U.S. was no longer interested in the Kyoto treaty on global warming. Spencer Michels has been looking into that debate, and here is his report. SPENCER MICHELS: On the shores of California's Monterey Bay, a tide pool is revealing information about global warming that scientists here say bodes ill for the world's environment. The pool is just out the back door of Hopkins Marine Station. A few years ago, Rafe Sagarin, then a Stanford undergraduate working under Professor Chuck Baxter, used maps found in an old thesis from the library to find metal markers that had been pounded into the rocks about 70 years before. |
