This news article reports on the case of a walrus found on the east coast of England and considers the impact of climate change on the Arctic walrus population. The article includes quotes from Bob Ward who refutes claims made by Matt Ridley that there has not been a significant reduction in Arctic sea ice and that the walrus population is not under threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
