Extinct within the next couple of years? Probably not...I&amp;#39;ll give you that. But if you humans don&amp;#39;t get off the mark pretty soon, the only place you&amp;#39;ll see us is in those cartoons you were talking about.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;And there is no evidence that polar bears are being mismanaged through existing international agreements and the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;Says who? Bush&amp;#39;s global warming experts? British Petroleum&amp;#39;s crack polar bear population team?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The state takes very seriously its job of protecting polar bears and their habitat and is well aware of the problems caused by climate change.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;So if climate changes is causing us problems (ie. melting our ice) and we can&amp;#39;t live without our ice, wouldn&amp;#39;t that suggest we&amp;#39;re endangered?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;But we know our efforts will take more than protecting what we have &amp;mdash; we must also learn what we don&amp;rsquo;t know.&amp;quot; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;And we all know that you don&amp;#39;t know what the Vice President actually does. But I digress.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;That&amp;rsquo;s why state biologists are studying the health of polar bear populations and their habitat. As a result of these efforts, polar bears are more numerous now than they were 40 years ago.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;There are still only 25,000 polar bears in the entire arctic region. That would be like the equivalent of 10 people living in the state of California. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The polar bear population in the southern Beaufort Sea off Alaska&amp;rsquo;s North Slope has been relatively stable for 20 years, according to a federal analysis.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;Wouldn&amp;#39;t this suggest that things aren&amp;#39;t too rosy? Us bears like getting it on like the rest of you so if things were groovy, wouldn&amp;#39;t there be more of us now than there were back in the day?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;We&amp;rsquo;re not against protecting plants and animals under the Endangered Species Act. Alaska has supported listings of other species, like the Aleutian Canada goose. The law worked as it should &amp;mdash; under its protection the population of the geese rebounded so much that they were taken off the list of endangered and threatened species in 2001. Listing the goose &amp;mdash; then taking it off &amp;mdash; was based on science.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;So you were for it before you were against it or were you against it before you were for it?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The possible listing of a healthy species like the polar bear would be based on uncertain modeling of possible effects. This is simply not justified.What is justified is worldwide concern over the proven effects of climate change.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;The ice is melting. We live on the ice. Unless you&amp;#39;re going to provide us with outboard motors and a boat, I think you&amp;#39;re missing the point! &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned for the polar bear to be protected, wants the listing to force the government to either stop or severely limit any public or private action that produces, or even allows, the production of greenhouse gases. But the Endangered Species Act is not the correct tool to address climate change &amp;mdash; the act itself actually prohibits any consideration of broader issues.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;I smell legalese hear. Can&amp;#39;t we all agree that we need more polar bears? I don&amp;#39;t really care how you do it but I&amp;#39;m pretty sure you put us on the ESA list and things get better for us bears.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Such limits should be adopted through an open process in which environmental issues are weighed against economic and social needs, and where scientists debate and present information that policy makers need to make the best decisions.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Blah blah blah blah blah.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Americans should become involved in the issue of climate change by offering suggestions for constructive action to their state governments. But listing the polar bear as threatened is the wrong way to get to the right answer.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;Great! So you don&amp;#39;t support putting us on the list. So what do you suggest? You&amp;#39;re a lot of smoke and no fire, Sarah! And that&amp;#39;s just what we don&amp;#39;t need...more greenhouse emissions.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Sarah Palin, a Republican, is the governor of Alaska.&amp;quot;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#e3e1e1&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;Polar Bear, an independent, is a polar bear and she&amp;#39;s pissed off.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>What Palin Has Done to Friends</title><link>http://polarbearsagainstpalin.wetpaint.com/page/What+Palin+Has+Done+to+Friends</link><author>ScaredIceLess</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://polarbearsagainstpalin.wetpaint.com/page/What+Palin+Has+Done+to+Friends</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 09:47:43 CDT</pubDate><description>  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Out of the paltry two donations she has ever made, Palin used one of them to fund a candidate trying to unseat the daughter of her former political patron.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Palin fired her top legislative director, whom she praised publicly to high heaven but go rid of for &amp;quot;poor job performance,&amp;quot; after she learned he was having an affair with a married friend of hers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Palin cut funds for the Special Olympics, Catholic Charities and Covenant House after saying parents of special-needs children would have in her an advocate in the White House.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sarah Palin Environmental Beliefs</title><link>http://polarbearsagainstpalin.wetpaint.com/page/Sarah+Palin+Environmental+Beliefs</link><author>frozentundra</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://polarbearsagainstpalin.wetpaint.com/page/Sarah+Palin+Environmental+Beliefs</guid><comments>Moved from: Send Sarah A Polar Bear</comments><pubDate>Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:31:48 CDT</pubDate><description> 			&lt;table align=&quot;bottom&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; class=&quot;WPC-edit-border-none&quot; height=&quot;867&quot; width=&quot;693&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;35%&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;65%&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Sarah supports strip mining.&lt;/h3&gt;There is gold and other precious minerals in those Alaskan mountains and the cheapest way to get at them - strip mining!
