BS On Endangered Species

Polar bears are said to be the next to be put on the endangered species list by the US. All the evidence points to the fact that the polar bear population is increasing, but that doesn't stop the environmentalists. Here is Penn and Teller's take on the endangered species law. (Language warning)

Now we can understand what the true motivation is for all those environmentalists.

Polar bears, Alaska oil and D.C. debate

Conservation groups such as the Sierra Club backed Markey's proposal.

"It doesn’t make sense to open prime polar bear habitat to oil drilling when the animal is under consideration for federal protection," Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope said in a statement. "It’s like locking your car doors and leaving all the windows down."

But Markey has his critics as well.

"The push to list polar bears under the Endangered Species Act is not really about protecting wildlife," Myron Ebell, director of global warming policy at the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute, said in a statement. "Rather, the goal is to implement regulatory controls on energy use that global warming alarmists have failed to convince Congress to enact."

So is it really about those "poor" polar bears, or is it about environmentalists and how they hate corporations. How about we send those environmentalists to the middle east or african countries, I suspect they would be happy to be back in the 18th century.
