Global warming gets a lot of bad press, but the news isnt all bad for yellow-bellied marmots in the Colorado Rockies, according to the New York Times.Scientists there observed that with warmer temperatures, the marmots have been emerging from hibernation earlier and going back later, which gives the marmots more time to eat and grow Oris replica watches and less time to hibernate. In turn, more marmots are surviving the shorter hibernation. From 1976, when the observation began, until 2000, the marmot population remained stable, but from 2000 to 2008, it has tripled.The researchers pointed out that continued temperature increases would not necessarily be good, however, because of the increased likelihood of drought.The full study also appears in the current issue of the journal Nature.--Michael WebsterPhoto from Alan Vernon on Flickr
