The More Science Learns, the More They Realize That Al Gore Is Simply A Snake Oil Salesman
While reading the New York Times this morning I came across a laughable editorial titled: “Practical Steps to Save the Polar Bear” by… Oh, wait, no author was listed.
The environmental lobby that is promoting Al Gore’s fantastic facts of immense error proclaim that Global Warming is not a Republican Issue, and not a Democratic Issue - but instead our dying planet is an American Issue, and is becoming even more so a Global Issue that must be addressed by all humanity.
As for our struggling friends, the polar bears? Fact is in 1950 there were about 5,000 polar bears. Now there are 25,000.
Twenty distinct polar bear populations are known to exist, and population patterns do not reveal a dive toward extinction, or even a temperature-linked decline in population. Only two of the distinct population groups (accounting for about 16.4 percent of the total population), in fact, are even decreasing.
Ten populations (approximately 45.4 percent of the total number), are reported to be stable. Another two populations - about 13.6 percent of the total number of polar bears - are increasing.
The status of the remaining six populations (whether they are stable, increasing or decreasing in size) is unknown.
The statistics hardly supports the hysteria Al Gore, and the current Disney film “Earth,” are promoting.
Perhaps that is why no author was listed regarding the piece in the New York Times about saving the polar bears.
Even the man-made global warming sheep are too embarrassed to leave their name on anything supporting the illogical myth.
Let's hope not too many liberals look in on your thread as they will go crazy. Of course, they haven't read that some of the northern glaciers are growing up to 2 meters each day the last few months. Maybe we need to get some of that information to the polar bears, so they could relax while doing their normal thing of recreation. from 5000 to 25,000 in that small a time seems like something other than heading toward extinction.

I know I was shocked at the numbers that certainly is not what is being reported is it!

One thing I hate about this global warming issue is that it is both sides skewing scientific facts to support their side politically. I don't know if Global Warming is man made, or a natural cycle. Maybe it is a natural cycle that is increased by man made issues like polluting.
With that being said; there is nothing wrong with both sides working to save the environment for future generations. The Earth is a an amazing place. I hate when Rush Limbaugh and his cronies are so against new technologies, and ways to stop pollution. I just don't get it. Lowering pollution rates, and trying to create a cleaner environment is good for all.

I don't understand this we vs them mentality when it comes to OUR EARTH. We all live here. What is wrong with wanting Earth to be as healthy as possible?
Some posters scan the media looking for any one thing that they can glom on to to make 'the other side' look foolish/wrong/uninformed when in fact, their own lack of knowledge about the subject at hand is what shines through.

you know what's wrong with it? it's an elaborate scheme to make money. my example I always give is my states emissions inspection tax. if your check engine light is on, it automatically fails. even if you have an electrical problem, like I did. the politicians that voted for the tax were supported by people who would benefit from car repairs. it's a scam. people should do what they can personally, but not have their money extorted by special interests. that's all this environmental regulation does.

Actually I think you and other believers of Al Gore (who BTW invented the internet), should have a serious talk with Mother Nature, but pleaaasee do not p*ss her off!

For the ignorant,
An EDITORIALis a piece written by the EDITOR expressing an opinion. Editorial's are usually not signed. If someone other than the editor writes 'an editorial' that piece is signed.
