The United States delays decision on whether global warming threatens polar bears

Perhaps someone needs to light a fire or heat a pan of water under the feet of these so called scientists. This is clearly a case of receding ice in the polar region that is affecting the lives of polar bears. Drowning polar bears has been reported for a while now. I am not a fanatic that will do anything to save an animal. If killing polar bears will save lives of people like Barrow Eskimo, a good friend of mine, I am ready to end any polar bears life. But it is people like Barrow Eskimo that make the connection between lives of Eskimos and Polar bears and other animals like seals and whales that makes the cycle complete. I believe him because his place is the northern most part of USA, Barrow, Alaska.
The deadline for deciding whether to list the big white bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act is Wednesday but Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told reporters it would take as much as a month more to analyze all the information.

This is the first time global warming has been a factor in proposing threatened status for any U.S. species, Hall said, and that has added to the complexity of the decision.
Within minutes of the government's announcement of the delay, environmental groups vowed to sue to enforce the deadline in the polar bear case.

"The Bush administration has squandered seven years denying the devastating scientific evidence of global warming," Kert Davies of Greenpeace USA said in a statement. "Stalling has cost us dearly, putting the polar bear at risk of extinction and jeopardizing the future welfare of billions of people around the world."

Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Biological Diversity said in a joint statement they plan to start the legal process on Wednesday with a formal notice to sue, as required under the Endangered Species Act.

Is global warming man made or natural? Take a look at this video and decide for yourself. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6772058898203776825&q=Great+Global+Warming+Swindle+site%3Avideo.google.com&total=24&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2
One thing I think that is not in dispute is our consumption of nonrenewable resources. Our resources are precious and we need to conserve whenever possible. We can conserve our natural resources by using solar power. Two ways are on the horizon that will make solar power affordable to every household. One is Nanosolar and the other is the Citizenre plan. I follow both in my blog at www.solarjoules.com.
