With Warming Temps, Train Must Haul Snow to Anchorage for Iditarod
------------------------------------------------------------------

The increasing scrutiny of Exxon Mobil comes as record-high temperatures
in Alaska have forced organizers of the Iditarod to transport a
train-full of snow to Anchorage because there is not enough snow for the
famous dog sled race. Organizers also say the teams will cover only
three miles on Saturday's ceremonial start-rather than the usual 11
miles-because of the lack of snow on which to sled. This is the second
year that the lack of snow has forced organizers to make changes to the
race.
