someone turn the heat down!
thanks to treehugger for this...
well, a few weeks ago, the dept. of interior finally pulled its head out and put out a proposal to list polar bears as a threatened under the endangered species act ... gee, i wonder what convinced them? was it the reports of polar bear drownings or was it the cannibalism? regardless, this proposal means the US government is on the record as recognizing the bears' quickly diminishing habitat and eco-devastation of climate change.
anyhoo, da fishie and other assorted wildlife service has opened a 90-day period for public comment so here's your chance to do something!
these orgs have set up action pages where you can simply put your name to a pre-written letter or write up a little ditty of your own...
environmental defense
environmental action
defenders of wildlife
it'll only take a minute or two... besides, how much coca-cola can one sad, lonely, emaciated polar bear sell?

well, as Darwin aways said, some species die off, and some adapt... yep, it's certainly sad, but spending millions of dollars to protect a species that may not survive no matter what we do is like throwing money at the sun (the largest culprit to global warming, btw)
wait a tic... did you just acknowledge global warming?
wow...
