The Earth seems to be endless. Its resources seems to be unlimited. It still exists next morning when we wake up. “2012” seems be just a non-
scientific prophecy. But, slowly, and perhaps, unnoticeably, something is happening.

This Sept. 7, 2010 picture provided by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a walrus calf looking out from the group at the beach line near Point Lay, Alaska. Tens of thousands of walruses have come ashore in northwest Alaska because the sea ice they normally rest on has melted. Federal scientists say this massive move to shore by walruses is unusual in the United States.
