Cute Polar Bear Asks

Why can't you give up your cars just one day a week?




But don't let this sway your vote in the poll.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations “may now be near historic highs.”

Hmm, I just checked the visitor lists on Sitemeter and I did have a reader from "undisclosed location."

Does he know something we don't?

Good Lord, do people still buy into the 'global warming is a scam' argument?

Look, it doesn't take a rocket, err, climate scientist to figure out that IF you dump billions of tons of a heat-trapping substance into the atmosphere THEN the average temperature goes up.

It's not some sort of philosophical argument, or pedantics...it's math. There's no politics in '2+2=4', and there aren't any politics in the global climate models or the gathered data either. Anyone who argues otherwise hasn't bothered to actually learn the science.

I mean, yeesh!

except that the science doesn't really add up...

the religion doesn't add up either

how can there be climate change if the earth is only 6 thousand years old. I don't recall reading anything about it in the bible.

although it was pretty hot today, and that Kate Hudson, is smoking. Her smile alone could power Las Vegas for like 9 days.

I read that the earth is actually cooling down, seems it used to be covered in lava, which is quite hot from what I gather, and had big lizards walking around. Who I also gather, really like it on the warm side.
Crazy I know, but what are you gonna do?

Fox News ALERT!!!
Existence of polar bears questioned.
James Dobson of Focus on the Family believes polar bears are a creation of the leftist elite and are infact plain black bears painted white to fool the public into allowing gay marrage.
" we must stop these bears from ruining the Real America" said Dobson.

Ben,

The science actually DOES add up.

We live in a country where most people have a hard time balancing their checkbook or believe that buying more lottery tickets increases their odds of winning (it does not; it increases their chances of winning, but not the odds). Or where a vast number of people apparently didn't read the fine print on their mortgages?

How on Earth could they be expected to understand that global warming means more snow in Antarctica and potentially colder winters in New England?

I'm simply here to comment that I love baby polar bears.

Carry on.
