I am appalled;you obviously have Internet connections,so it's not as if you and your Governor are living under a rock.WAKE UP!Your Governor is running for the Vice-President of the United States.(I bring this up as you may not be aware of that fact.)So much information is available; "He that hath an ear,let him hear what the Spirit saith…"Rev.2,7;but when no one is listening.Whats the point.

This is a stupid article!

1) The grammar is terrible!

2) Global warming is just a cycle of the earth and it has nothing to do with oil and driling for gas!!

3) Polar bears have killed more of the oil workers than workers killing polar bears!

Here's a link to a graph of the global population:

I thought the polar bears were lucky to be listed at all considering the political pressure to drill for oil in Alaska; however, I was sure they'd caught a break when Sen. Stevens was indicted on criminal corruption charges, related to his involvement with oil companies no less. Turns out the rest of Alaska won't go down quietly.

Sharon, this is a broader issue than just Alaska and the federal listing of the polar bear was in conjunction with an international push to protect the species. The good news is that the responsibility to protect these animals, and the bill, will fall on the whole country now, not just Alaska.

D Graham, the electricity comes from a wide and increasingly diverse variety of sources. Species don't just come and go, and they certainly don't at the rate that we're seeing to the extent that we've caused. The importance in protecting these species is that they all affect each other – if there are no polar bears, there will be more seals, which means less fish and so on.

Finally, the Left isn't making humans instinct – the human population has more than doubled in the last 50 years, and went up 77 million last year alone. That means a whole new United States-sized group of people every 5 years. Humans aren't going extinct.

Oil companies might be, though.
