SPECIES STATUS: Unreliable data, threat to energy development cited.
By DAN JOLING The Associated Press
The State of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday.
She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.

Polar bear have been around for many ice ages AND the warm periods between the ice ages.
Therefore, warming will not cause extinction of polar bear.
Remember, they did not evolve during the last ice age.
You presume one can be found.
Recall that Alaska is located in the 9th Circuit...
There are a few in the 9th Circus though they are greatly out numbered, ley us pray. :)

She's a moonbat eviro nazi whacked out nut job! Besides that she looks like a loonie in snow clothes. :-)
This is why Sarah Palin should be on McCain’s ticket and not that assclown Huckabee.
The ONLY thing that could get me to vote for McCain would be Palin in the VP spot.
I think eventually this has to get to the Supreme Court so they can right the obviously wrong decision they made recently when they declared CO2 pollution and thus under gov’t’s ability to ‘regulate’ The enviro/marxist Branch Algorians have always tried to use the administrative and judicial process to acheive what they never could through the ballot. If Americans voted today on offshore oil and gas development in ANWR, west and east coast and ALL of the Gulf of Mexico, 90% would vote for drilling. 10% would follow Saint Al and his marxist allies.
YUMMY!
Probably got going for real with the success in forcing Nixon to resign.
Good for her.
I must say I’m very disappointed in the Secretary of the Interior’s decision. He is evidently fairly conservative, and has a zero rating from the environuts, in his former role as a politician. But it seems to be another case of the Bush administration refusing to stand up to the whackos.
Global Warming could be discredited, yet this pestilant decision will remain on the books to impede progress on the energy front. I wish he had just shot the whole thing down, and the hell with the polar bear lovers.
“Even the Bush administration can’t deny the reality of global warming,” she said. “The governor is aligning herself and the state of Alaska with the most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints by denying this.”
I love our Governor, and I’m not afraid to say it. Thankfully, Mrs. VPINTHEAK feels the same way.
definately not GUILTY, wow

“While there are a few aspects of today’s accord we can celebrate, including the potential acquisition of 49,000 acres for a state park, this deal contains numerous “˜poison pill’ provisions, including the development of Tejon Mountain Village in the heart of condor critical habitat and Centennial, the largest single development ever to be proposed in California,” said Peter Galvin, conservation director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Without critical habitat, we risk losing these magnificent species forever,” said Peter Galvin, conservation biologist for the Center for Biological Diversity.
Governor should answer this with:
Kassie is aligning herself and her organization with the most discredited fringe, extreme viewpoints in espousing her belief in global warming.
Thanks antceecee. I am familiar with the Center for Biological Diversity, they are bad news. Most folks don’t know who they are and what their true agendas are.
I just deleted an email yesterday I wish I could share with you (needed to clean out my inbox, I get lots of email alerts from these groups, know the enemy).
I am an outdoor writer/editor, so I keep up with a lot of these issues involving public lands, access, etc.
Note the former members of the USFWS, U.S. Forest Service in the material you posted. These agencies are being infiltrated by “professional environmentalists.” I was told of this by some oldtimers in these agencies a decade or more ago.
“Before working for the Center, Peter worked as a contract wildlife researcher for the U.S Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.”
I’m disappointed too, as are many others.
I wonder how much political pressure, and from whom, led to this decision.
Bush has stood up on some issues, but he has constantly, and very expensively for our country, caved on environmental issues.
And what has he gained from it? The greenies absolutely hate him. He has gotten zero credit, and will get none from doing this. Not one of the people pushing this will ever vote Republican in their lives, no matter how much Bush or McCain try to cater to them. Nor will the media even hint that he might be concerned about the environment.
