Some Green Polar Bears and Long Necked Geese,Some Humpty Backed Camels and
2008-10-06 10:32:00 A small article in The Japan Times newspaper September 24 page 3 caught my attention.Apparently visitors to Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens here in Nagoya are "shocked by the colour" of the polar bears.The polar bears are no longer white after swimming in a pond this summer with an overgrowth of algae.The bears are expected to return to their natural colour when the algae growth subsides in November according to a zoo offical quoted in the article.Curiosity aroused I went along to the Zoo yesterday morning.I must state from the outset Im not a great fan of zoos and this one in particular I find depressing.I can block out the howls of some distressed feline creatures or the cringing,cowering birds that sit in the shadows of their cells.But its hard to ignore the general down at heel air that pervades the whole area.Closed,under repair toilet blocks,missing tiles,faded,chipped paint.Once at the polar bear enclosure I notice that staff have put up a folder of photos and an explan...

Last-Ditch Resort: Move Polar Bears to Antarctica?
2008-07-18 08:29:00 From Wired Top Stories: If the most dire climate predictions come to pass, the Arctic ice cap will melt entirely, and polar bears could face extinction. So why not pack a few off to Antarctica, where the sea ice will never run out? It may seem like a preposterous question.

I smell a political rat! U.S. Government Affirms that Climate Change is Putting Polar Bears in Peril WASHINGTON D.C., May 14, 2008 – Climate change is destroying vital polar bear habitat, putting the species at risk of extinction, the U.S. government said today as it listed the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s largest conservation organization, said the government’s decision clearly indicates that climate change impacts are already threatening the survivability of animals and habitats, and illustrates the urgency of preparing for and adapting to a rapidly changing climate. “Today’s decision is a tremendous victory for one of the world’s most iconic and charismatic animals,” said Carter Roberts, preside...

Save The Polar Bears
2008-05-15 16:01:00 The United States moves to list polar bears on the endangered species list saying that they are in danger of extinction. Without getting into the politics of the situation, there is something fun about polar bears. I wonder if it is because of the Coke commercials that play during Christmas time showing polar bears enjoying a soft drink while playing in the snow? I remember seeing a documentary about a town in Canada where polar bears roam freely. While polar bears are beautiful creatures, one must always remember that they are dangerous animals, as well. The town had bars over every window and an alert system to let people know if polar bears were getting ready to over run the village in search of food. The video clips that come with the news stories announcing the addition of polar bears to the endangered species list show the majesty of the polar bears. There’s something that we always appreciate in animals that are powerful, yet also beautiful. Video: Polar Bears to be...

Looks like the USA needs to follow suit......--------------------------------------------------MOS-COW, May 13 (RIA Novosti) - The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is urging the U.S. to follow Russia's conservation efforts to save the polar bear, the regional program director for WWF Russia said on Tuesday.This Thursday is a deadline set by a federal judge in Alaska for George Bush's administration to decide whether polar bears should be given the status of a species endangered by global warming."Over 50 years ago a full ban on polar bear hunting was introduced in Russia, which has approximately 30% of the global polar bear population," Viktor Nikifirov, said.---------------------------------------------------If we don't we will not have Polar Bears one day.

Polar bears 'at risk' in Canada
2008-05-07 09:50:00 Canada's polar bears are at risk from hunting and melting ice in the Arctic Polar bears in Canada are at risk from climate change but not threatened with extinction, a panel of experts has advised the Canadian government. The government should develop a plan to protect the country's estimated 15,000 polar bears, the panel said. The plight of the polar bear has long concerned environmentalists. The animals face loss of habitat on two fronts, the panel said - hunting, and melting ice in the Arctic, which is widely blamed on climate change. While recognising both problems, the panel found that Canada's polar bear population was not declining enough to place it in the most serious category as an endangered species. Instead, it has been classified as a species of special concern. 'At risk' "Based on the best available information at hand, there was insufficient reason to think that the polar bear was at imminent risk of extinction," said Jeff Hutchings, the panel's chairman. "That...
Judge Gives Feds 16 Days to Decide on Polar Bears
2008-04-29 20:08:00 Behold the power of a federal judge: A federal judge has ordered the Interior Department to decide within 16 days whether polar bears should be listed as a threatened species because of global warming. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken agreed with conservation groups that the department missed a Jan. 9 deadline for a decision. She rejected a government request for a further delay and ordered it to act by May 15. “Defendants have been in violation of the law requiring them to publish the listing determination for nearly 120 days,” the judge, based in Oakland, Calif., wrote in a decision issued late Monday. “Other than the general complexity of finalizing the rule, Defendants offer no specific facts that would justify the delay, much less further delay.” As I noted in “Polar Bears are a Prop, Not An Endangered Species”: According to the February 7, 2005 Edinburgh Scotsman ( http://thescotsman.scotsman.com-/international.cfm?id=143012005-), ?The wor...

Polar Bears are a Prop, Not An Endangered Species
2008-04-03 12:00:00 Iceberg formed by waves, not “global warming™.” Left-wing global warming windbags lambasted the president for not taking swift action in protecting the endangered polar bears. That’s right. We have solved all the problems in American concerning humans, so we can worry about polar bears. Socialist, I mean, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer pointed some fingers today: “The Bush administration is violating the law, and that is why we’re here today,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, opening the hearing. “These species do not have an indefinite time to be saved. . . . Time is running out for the polar bear, and time has run out for this decision.” Here’s the thing on this one: the polar bears are not declining in population. The action needs to be taken because they might drop in population because of global warming (try to remain calm.) One of the most controversi...

Global Whining and Polar Bears
2008-02-03 00:03:00 With the pushing of Leftist politicians and environmental groups, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held a hearing Wednesday to evaluate the delay in listing Polar Bears as an endangered species. The Left sees Polar Bears as a means of shutting down oil and gas exploration, fishing, mining, and virtually any human activity in the Arctic.It is very easy for environmental groups to sue to have a species added to the endangered list under the Endangered Species Act. The Act has succeeded in slowing energy production and reducing economic growth. There is little solid evidence that the Act has helped any species increase its population numbers.The State of Alaska vigorously opposes the listing of Polar Bears as endangered, as it would seriously harm economic development. Such an action would almost guarantee than ANWR would not be opened for oil production. Developing the massive anticipated reserves of oil and gas under the Arctic seas would be left to the Russians and ...

Climate Change My Arse - Part 21 (Polar Bears).
2008-01-28 21:10:00 I've heard before that the Iconic picture of polar bears stranded on floating ice was used totally out of context by the global warming Nazis. Al Gore seems to be the self proclaimed fuhrer of the Fifth Reich. For a man putting himself forward as savior of the planet, he seems to be doing his best to destroy it (if you believe that CO2 is causing Global Warming). It should also be noted that Big Al is making a tidy profit (excuse the pun) out of forecasting the planets doom.The EU Referendum Blog have a post on this subject that is required reading for all those who wonder if the propaganda peddled by Global Warming alarmists can be believed. I'm sick and tired of being bombarded by adverts an certain elements of the media telling us that man made global warming is a fact - Just like when we were all assured in the seventies that we were heading for an Ice Age. Well they were wrong then and there's a damn good chance that they are wrong now.

Polar Bears Endangered Species List is Being Considered Maybe, Polar Bear D
2008-01-19 15:14:00 Is talk going around about the Polar Bears being put Endangered Species list. For the reason of global warming it would the first animal on the list for that reason. It is a good idea to do because out of all the animals I think they are in trouble the most. I think the polar bear is very much in danger of extinction. My opinion it could happen sooner than predicted them to gone from the wild forever. I think they should be put on the list. I would assume that would be an easy decision but no. They have postponed the final decision because they are not sure they should added to list. Some of the reason not being added is because it would stop oil companies from drilling oil. Some considered drilling the oil to put even more strain on the polar bear it could make then extinct quicker. Some saying the postponing the decision is all about oil not thoughts of the bear. Sometime not everything is about money and oil even though is a need for it. But it is about doing something right and ...

Can polar bears, Arctic oil co-exist?

Even the most liberal Democrat can agree upon that. for oil" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/-id/22707746/">So then it makes no sense when people protest us drilling in our own back yard for oil. Bush administration officials insisted Thursday that oil exploration in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska can proceed without threatening polar bears that depend on the sea ice. But that didn't convince a senior House lawmaker, who demanded that Interior Department Secretary Dirk Kempthorne delay the oil leases until after a determination is made on whether to list polar bears as endangered or threatened. Make up your mind people, either we need to get off of foreign oil or we don't. If we do, we need to explore other areas where there are oil deposits. It's not brain surgery here I'm talking about. Yes, the polar bears do need protecting, but the problem still remains that we have oi...

Polar Bears Unprotected - Again
2008-01-09 00:13:00 (Photo Credit: Minden Pictures) The polar bears were supposed to be put on the Endangered Species act tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan 9) but the government has decided to delay that for "further study." Evidence has clearly pointed to these bears being seriously vulnerable due to the melting ice caps and the increased challenges they face in being able to hunt for food. The have to swim farther which often results in them drowning. They have to walk further and go for longer periods without food, which is resulting in increased starvation. I've seen various documentary films on this very subject and it's patently clear how very vulnerable these bears are. Does the government care? No. They wait until the 11Th hour to announce they are delaying a move that would protect the polar bears and justifying it with bureaucratic bullshit. My opinion is they don't want anything to potentially interfere with their desire to drill the hell out of Northwest Alaskan coast. Environmental gro...

Polar bears and penguins do not share habitats
2007-12-23 22:52:00 The idea that polar bears and penguins populate the same geographical region is a common misconception that plagues far too many individual's minds. Sure, it might seem like a nice thing to believe - polar bears roaring ferociously, chasing poor, defenseless penguins around over snow and ice, and devouring them whole. This, however, is pure hogwash. Polar bears are entirely native to the northern hemisphere, on the complete opposite end of the Earth from where penguins make their homes. Perhaps the worst offender in spreading penguin-polar bear interaction lies is the Coca Cola company. Polar bears and penguins are frequently and unrealistically seen frolicking together and enjoying a refreshing bottle of Coke. It is high time Coke ended these commercials. I recently purchased a package of gift labels, only to find that much to my dismay a number of the labels featured penguins and polar bears jovially interacting. Such a sight would surely make any intelligent individual ...

Drudge Denies Polar Bears Threatened by Global Warming
2007-12-08 15:46:00 The factually-challenged Drudge Report, the fountainhead of news for most of the conservative blogosphere, has a an absurd headline this morning; "Polar Bears Not at Threat From Global Warming." From the Daily Mail article;Although the town is still accessible only by train or light aircraft, its guesthouses are packed during late summer and autumn, when the vast ice-sheet over the bay melts, forcing around 1,000 bears to lollop around for months on the shore. Lately, however, it is not only polar bear watchers who come flocking. With the clamour over global warming, it has become a magnet for an army of environmentalists and climatologists who have given Churchill an air of impending doom. The Arctic ice-cap is shrinking fast, is their message, and as it disappears, so too will the polar bears. Today, the polar bear population may hover healthily around 25,000 (they live in Russia, Alaska, Greenland, Norway and Canada). Yet, we are repeatedly warned, if the planet continues ...
