Polar Bears

I'm not. I can wear blue with conviction, but not in the face.

Mmm.... fucking....

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Three environmental groups are suing the U.S. government to force consideration of whether polar bears are a threatened species, saying rising global temperatures threaten to kill off the Arctic predators.

but I thought the Times just said...
The chief reason for the rise is probably restrictions on hunting (for which conservationists deserve credit). In this village of fewer than 200 residents, Mr. Kalluk and the other hunters are limited each year to three dozen bears, which they allocate by drawing names out of a hat.

But the increase might also be related to the recent warming, which could be helping bears in some places. After all, the bears have thrived in warmer climates than today's. In the 1930's, the Arctic was as warm as it is now, and in the distant past it was even warmer.

That's the crux of my problem. Listening to all these environmental "experts", I hear statements that obviously come from the same data with different spins, "facts" that I'd have to spend the rest of my life verifying and theories from left field.

I've decided that every stinking one of them has an axe to grind so I treat them like politicians. Assume they're lying, or at least exaggerating, to some degree and try to apply some common sense to their predictions.

Whatever, I'm not allying with any of them for any campaign simply because I don't trust them.
