Bush Administration Placed Polar Bears On 'Threatened Species' List Despite Population Rise

Topics: Political News and commentaries

In other words, Bush caved-in to the environmentalists, as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services reports the polar bear population is on the rise:

[...] This decision was spurred by The Center for Biological Diversity, a group that sued the Department of Interior, along with Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council, to make a decision about listing the polar bear as "endangered" based on global warming concerns. The environmental lobby argues global warming has melted sea ice that polar bears walk on when hunting seals. Less ice, their logic follows, exposes the bears to drowning, cannibalism and starvation.

Their complaints come as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services reports the polar bear population is on the rise. FWS estimates there are currently 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears, up from a record-low population of 5,000 to 10,000 in the 1950's and 1960's
