Polar Bears
The newest critter to be listed as “threatened” is the Polar Bear and a lot of people see through the BS that got the bear listed as such yesterday. Over the past 50 years the polar bear population has increased 5 fold. And that disappearing polar bear habitat? Nope, the ice flows have increased 60% over the last 10 years putting the number of square miles before the ‘98 warming trend that continues to fuel the claims of “global warming” .
This also has serious implications on your gas prices since protecting this “threatened” species may well impact not only drilling in norther Alaska but also off-shore rigs. Because it really isn’t about the polar bear.
