They should focus more on the real issues affecting walruses:

[Williams]

What this reminds me of: Cases some years back by left wing lawyers arguing they were justified in trying to close down military bases because of the threat of nuclear anihilation.

Now the left has found a kook legal wedge that is working. And we have a political class that is fostering this zaniness.

[jimfree]

Is this an opportunity to try the facts of AGW?

[musicman]

[RightWhale]

In addition to the climate change, the other main threat is oil and gas development

The actual target is oil/gas development.

[BigFinn]

Ku-ku-ca-choo.

[Young Werther]

Due to the Artic environment a walrus penis has a bone so that they can "get it up" when a female walrus is hot to trot1

Quite a boner! Maybe that lady environmentalist could use/abuse this!

‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said,
‘To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.’

- The Walrus and The Carpenter, Lewis Carroll.

OOPS. I thought this was a Ted Kennedy article. My bad.

Hey, don’t mind that the Arctic sea ice is GROWING: http://www.iceagenow.com/Arctic_Sea_Ice_Growing_at_Fastest_Rate_in_Recorded_History.htm

Facts don’t matter to leftscum, though, do they? (Sorry for stating the glaringly obvious.)

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I am the walrus!.....

Goo goo g’joob!

Another atempt by “environmentalists” to stop oil and gas drilling.

The polar bear listing was just the tip of the iceberg.

[girlangler]

Below is listed a few names being considered by the Obama administration for the secretary position at the Dept. of the Interior, and EPA administrator:

EPA — former Sierra Club president and environmental activist Lisa Renstrom, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Pace University law professor and chairman of the Waterkeeper Alliance, another advocacy group.

Interior — John Leshy, and Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife. Clark is a former Secretary under the Clinton Administration.

[Bulwinkle]

LOL!!! Chukchi Sea??? is just north of the Behring Strait...

Compare Dec. 3 last year to Dec. 3 This year:

Thanks for the rundown, Girl. All of those people are disasters for exploration of natural resources. I thought Kempthorne was a turkey for listing the polar bear but these nuts are much worse.

Just looked quickly at John Leshy, here's some political donations by him.
