When the polar bear was put on the endangered species list back in 2008, it became the first species to be put on the list based on what might happen with the environment and their habitat. Environmental groups argued that global warming served as a major threat to the polar bear and therefore it must be added to the endangered list just in case someday it actually becomes endangered due to climate change. Now just a few short years later, polar bears in Alaska are facing a major problem: too much ice. CNSNews (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/alaskan-polar-bears-threatened-too-much-spring-ice-0) has the details:
Five meters of ice– about 16 feet thick - is threatening the survival of polar bears in the Southern Beaufort Sea region along Alaska’s Arctic coast, according to Dr. Susan J. Crockford, an evolutionary biologist in British Columbia who has studied polar bears for most of her 35-year career.That’s because the thick ice ridges could prevent ringed seals, the bears’ major prey, from creating breathing holes they need to survive in the frigid waters, Crockford told CNSNews.com.

It is all part of the on-going power grab by the left. Since man-made global warming is a global emergency, we need a global political apparatus to address it. And all of your money.

Endangered species are unfit species. The lie the trust-fundie treehuggers tell us is that there is some magical Balance of Nature that cannot be disturbed, also expressed as the moronic "Butterfly Effect." Those who preach this anti-human attitude are themselves worthless, destructive, and hostile mutants. The decadent Nature Boys are an unfit and malignant mutation within the human race.

Man must exploit Nature, including exterminating any subhuman species that gets in the way. Otherwise, Man will be forced to exploit his fellow Man. It is childish to think that any beast has primacy over the only intelligent species. We are the whole purpose of this planet and can rearrange it solely for our own benefit or even pleasure. If that sounds religious, it is better than being forced to submit to the Stone Age animist idea that Nature is supernatural. It is the enemy of man and must be tamed. Useless species must be weeded out.

I do agree with this.

I almost agree with this.

Mostly your money, they can let a few other things slide
