Bear Neccesities

Finally, after much hemming and hawing, the administration has conceded that, yeah, the polar bear deserves endangered status due to its rapidly shrinking polar ice cap. This makes the polar bear the first animal protected on the endangered species act because of the threat and nature of global warming. Of course, the decision followed several months of dithering, and required the intervention of a Federal judge to force the government's hand. And this also comes from the same government tools constantly ignoring scientific findings for political purposes. And the same government trying to stop California from implementing emissions standards more stringent than Federal requirements. And so on. But hey, it's start.
