Polar Bear Crap

Legacy- On the Line Here Boss

Two nights ago I'm in bed (headset on, so as not to wake MoSup again), and surfing XM radio around 1 AM.  Here's the snippet, from memory.

Some guy  Well, Bush still hasn't placed polar bears on the endangered species list.


Some girl:   I thought we were past this argument? 

Some guy: Well, you'd think so.  What more proof do you need?  With the ice shelves melting. bears are extinct if we don't do something.

Some girl: I'm not sure it's even possible to pound sense into Bush's head ...

Some guy: He's in the bag of oil companies, that's for sure.  But we have to keep pressure on him before it's too late.
Just now I decided to see wtf this was about.  I mean, the whole dialog, and reasons behind it are absurd, but then so too are most things about man caused global warming.  Here's what I found. 

Last December the Wa Post reported

The Bush administration has decided to propose listing the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, putting the U.S. government on record as saying that global warming could drive one of the world's most recognizable animals out of existence.

I must have been in a Manhattan induced holiday fog, thank the lord, because I missed this Chistmas mood killing clap-trap.  It's turns out that, for whatever reason, Bush has been delaying.  I'm hoping it's because he recognizes that this single act , if he gets it wrong, will, by itself doom him to a place on that special list which now includes just Carter and Clinton. Of course, we live in times where judges are the true masters, and one just put Bush on notice.

The Bush administration has 16 days to decide whether polar bears are now an endangered species because of climate change, a California judge (Clinton appointed Claudia Wilken)  ruled today. ["Bush has 16 days "]

Here's what I'm hoping.  That Bush is through trying to appease the left, and will renege.  And ... since he has decided it's okay to bomb Islamo terrorist occupied hospitals, it's just a baby-step to order the bombing of California courts harboring eco-terrorist.  Am I right, or what?

Putting polar bears on the endangered species list isn't as cuddly as it may seem. It is the Left's attempt to circumvent Congress and enact Kyoto by judicial and EPA fiat: The reason for the bears on the list is globull worming. Every industry that emits CO2 anywhere in America will be subject to a lawsuit.

This is a battle to the death Alear ... There is no peaceful solution. Of course I mean that in the nicest way.

What does the Constitution say about a President protecting polar bears?
.......................
I thought so.
"These magnificent creatures are in peril, and this administration has no right to walk away from protecting them," Barbara Boxer, "Democratic chairwoman of the Senate"; make that "who has the tiniest mind in the Senate" environment committee, said in a statement on the court decision.
