Polar Bear Update and the Politics of Global Warming
"Why is the government considering polar bears for the endangered species list while their population approaches an all-time high?" A short interview from the online edition of the Wall Street Journal answers this question. Though the issue of global warming has a number of complexities, two items are not complex: the population of polar bears is approaching an all-time high and environmentalists want to rewrite laws to accommodate climate change.
In two previous post, I imply that the issue of global warming is overdone: "Power Line: Headline of the Day" and "Sun, Not Man, Main Cause of Climate Change." As the political climate heats up over this issue, I am still a skeptic. To get a glimpse of the environmental nonsense associated with polar bears and global warming, check out this short interview editorial.
