I’m Russ Mitchell. Tonight, the president pushes ahead with 밀고 나아가다, 추진하다 a plan for more troops in Iraq. Even his democrats say don’t do it. David Martin has exclusive details of how many new troops will go and where they’ll be sent. “She says that she loves me and misses me a lot.” In Iraq, letters from home are all the more 더욱 더 poignant 마음 아픈 for one family with three brothers serving on the same base <군사> 기지.

 

Baby, it’s warm outside. What happened to winter and what’s causing all of this weird 이상한 weather? And Assignment America. “He doesn’t think he did anything great.” A man who never had kids of his own. But more a hundred say he’s the best dad he could’ve ever wished for. This is the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

“Is there pretty good bird watching in Central Park?” “This is one of the best places in the world.” This winter, Peter Mott has seen some things, ‘there he is,’ that could make a Yankee bird watcher drop his binoculars 쌍안경. “I don’t recall ever seeing a Great Blue Heron <조류>왜가리. And in Princeton, they had 68 of them.” This year? “This year.”

 

Translation? The Blue Heron ought to be down south. Bird watchers say some migratory birds 철새 are now staying north longer and some southern birds have taken up residence ~에 주거를 정하다 here permanently. But is it the result of a warm snap <기후의> 급변 or something bigger? El Nino or just another one of Mother Nature’s mood swings 기분의 두드러진 변화.

 

Scientists say over the last few decades, warmer weather has been messing with Mother Nature’s calendar. Plants in Washington D.C. are flowering four days earlier than they did 30 years ago. Loggerhead turtles 붉은 바다거북 are coming ashore in Florida ten days earlier than they did 20 years ago. And male frogs in New York, well, they’re getting a jump on the mating season 교미기 starting two weeks earlier than a century ago.

 

“A hundred years from now, we’ll easily be able to look back and definitively 명확하게 say that this was or wasn’t the start of some major global warming change or climate change.” But right now, we should all take a lesson from the birders. Wait patiently and watch closely. Sharyn Alfonsi, CBS News, New York.
