It's a good time to be a polar bear. Unusually cool temperatures in the northern climes last winter produced thicker-than-usual polar ice. This gave the lucky bears an extra two weeks to roam the ice floes to hunt ringed seals. As a result, adult bears are better fed and more cubs are surviving their first year. The bears will go into the winter with greater energy stores, which will mean a better chance of survival and even more cubs.

The global-warming religion is highly resistant to facts. This came home to us recently when Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan Democrat, told the Detroit News that global warming is increasing "volatility" in the atmosphere. "I feel it when I'm flying," she claimed. "We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes." The notion that Mrs. Stabenow can sense climate volatility while jetting about is risible, but the fact that she serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and is a leading proponent of the job-killing, growth-destroying cap-and-trade legislation is no laughing matter.
Compare the senator's sensory perception to hard data. In the past three years, the number of hurricanes has fallen dramatically, and tropical-cyclone activity is at one of the lowest points in the last 50 years. We hope that facts such as thickening Arctic ice and decreasing climate volatility can overcome the almost mystical attachment some politicians have to global-warming orthodoxy.

In Debbie’s case I tend to think it’s not necessarily her agenda, I think she’s stupid, and buys the agenda that others cook up.
But hey, I’m not arguing with you.
Keyword, stupid.
Oh, and by the way, the Congress Critter Stupak spoke at my grandson’s HS graduation, and he sure didn’t impress me as being the liveliest gerbil in the litter.
Meant to include you in my post 41, but, talk about stupid, I couldn’t remember how to spell your name.
Can anyone draw well enough to draw a Coca Cola ad showing a couple of cute polar bears clinging for dear life onto a floating Coke bottle?
Not a chance in hell a Marxist looter like Stabenow will ever get over that attachment. Even if this AWG scam blows up in their face, they will not blush for a moment. They will quickly move to the next scam. They never give up!
“what about those poor ringed seals that got eaten by all those big nasty polar bears????”
I’ve said for awhile now that the seals need better press agents!
