Hugh Hewitt warned about this. Virtually any action taken by the federal government, including any kind of permits can now be challenged in court as “contributing to greenhouse gasses” with in turn are “killing the threatened polar bear”. They will start with attacking permits for oil, gas and coal production, and walk the dog back to any kind of human activity. The fools in the Bush adminstration had no idea what kind of Pandora’s Box they opened by listing the thriving polar bear as threatened.
The polar bears have increased in number by 5 fold since 1972.
The ecofreaks just want to shut down oil drilling and exploration and they’re telling lies about the polar bear in order to do so.
