UPDATE: Interestingly, the LA Times articel linked to above downplays the affects of the chemicals upon the sex of the bears, but according to this headline from The Independent Toxic waste creates hermaphrodite Arctic polar bears, all else pales in comparison. Is this an indication that Brits are more hung up on sex than those in La-La Land?
