I am glad that I am not the only one that does not approve of the decision the U.S. government made in regard to polar bears.<BR/><BR/>What really gave it away for me was the fact the polar bear has been simply listed as threatened but no further commitments have been made to protect the bear’s environment. This is very unusual.<BR/><BR/>I also fully agree with Othmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-39382639548510625282008-05-18T05:36:00.000-07:002008-05-18T05:36:00.000-07:00I really have a problem with the theory,yet to be ...I really have a problem with the theory,yet to be scientifically proven, of global warming.<BR/><BR/>The earth has always had years of cold,or tropical temperatures, wet or dry cycles. <BR/><BR/>All of the sudden these things that don't go at a constant, reliable source of weather becomes global warming.<BR/><BR/>Man gives himself to much credit in how the natural <BR/>rhythm of the earth CDGardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661754509637671705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-74780884497727917102008-05-16T07:07:00.000-07:002008-05-16T07:07:00.000-07:00So Washington wants to protect poloar bears that a...So Washington wants to protect poloar bears that are threatened by melting icecaps by putting them on the endangered species list, rather than by trying to reverse human contributions to global warming? Brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I don't hunt polar bears, and I'm not hankering to (though I'm old enough never to say never). And I'm all for protecting dwindling species.
