Experts, fearing he may get hurt by a propeller or harm someone accidentally, are trying to persuade him to act a little less like Flipper and little more like the wild dolphin that he is.

It’s been suggested by some that global warming is a myth, but a large scientific study suggests otherwise. The first to suffer will be the animals that call the northern icecap home, such as polar bears and seals.

In this very interesting video, Patrice and Sophie talk about the problems and resolutions discussed during the COP28 climate conference. Sophie notes that participating countries not only failed to reach their goals, but are actually going backwards.
