Polar bears are very adaptable. They wouldn’t exist in that harsh environment if they weren’t.

Do they make good rugs? Or is that white real hard to keep clean?

Too late. The suit has been filed, not to prevent the leases but to prevent the development of the resources. We’ll never see the oil, natural gas, or coal, but the leases will be sold anyway.

Maybe the bears like warm weather.

... but they have not said how the sub-prime mortgage crisis will affect the bears.

You mean this story isn’t true?

“Polar Bears “Dropping Like Flies” From Heat Exhaustion”

Hunter Jeremiah Johnson comforts a polar bear that had collapsed from heat exhaustion before he could shoot it.

I need something to hang above my fireplace. My wife nixed the idea of a moose head, so may be she’d go for a polar bear skin with the head.

Doesn’t matter. Facts are irrelevant to the AGW cultists, including McLame...

No matter,the Gorebots will find some other creature they can claim to be endangered due to the man-caused global warming hoax.
Remember,if an animal is ruled endangered by the government because of say,human body odor,it will be a federal crime to not bathe frequently.
Reports of stinky people will then be aggresivly investigated and the pungent perpetrators severely prosecuted by the Justice Department.
Go ahead and laugh—then cry.
The misanthropes of leftist environmentalism see no boundaries to their socialist agendas.

Hell, that's an easy one. Seals are endangered because GolBull Warming is causing an increase in the Polar Bear population.

The Church of AWG will swallow any story you feed them.
