The Taj Mahal’s beautiful exterior is suffering possibly irreparable damage from air pollution, acid rain and soot.

The far north of Canada and Alaska is home to the Arctic Polar Bear. The bears live on snow and ice, which is as we know, is thawing due to global warming. 30 million acres of their territory has also recently been leased by the Bush Administration for oil exploration.
