U.S. Senate Report Debunks Polar Bear Extinction Fears

Contact: Marc Morano - Marc_Morano@EPW.Senate.GOV Matthew Dempsey Matthew_Dempsey@EPW.Senate.gov U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (Minority)

[See also the U.S. Senate Report released December 20, 2007, “Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007” - LINK ]

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing the polar bear a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. This report details the scientists debunking polar bear endangerment fears and features a sampling of the latest peer-reviewed science detailing the natural causes of recent Arctic ice changes.


The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations “may now be near historic highs.” The alarm about the future of polar bear decline is based on speculative computer model predictions many decades in the future. And the methodology of these computer models is being challenged by many scientists and forecasting experts. (LINK)

Classless Mindless Demorats
Sen. Kerry Blames Tornados on Global Warming
Former Democratic presidential nominee blames 'intense storms' that have killed more than 50 on climate change.

By Jeff Poor


Politicians using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a tried-and-true strategy. Paint the idea green and a natural catastrophe became political fodder for former Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.).

Kerry appeared on MSNBC on February 6 to discuss storms that have killed at least 50 people throughout the Southeastern United States. So, of course, Kerry used the platform to advance global warming alarmism.

“[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said. “And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth. And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we’re not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.”

Cold wave in India attributed to global warming

Tuesday, 12 February , 2008, 21:58

Mumbai: The recent cold wave sweeping across Mumbai and other parts of India could be attributed to global warming, experts said on Tuesday here at an environmental conference.


http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14603730

ITS A RELIGION....it doesn't have to be true NOTHING can technically PHYSICALLY support it but if you are emotionally tied to it IT exists.

Hell you can even have scientific STUDIES that disprove the RELIGION but people who are emotionally (read that as economically) tied to it will seek to silence you.

Baliunas Says Global Warming Related To Sun

Staff Photo by Jaime R. CarreroAstrophycist Dr. Sally Bulinas speaks to members of the press before her conference about Global warming and the Sun's interaction with the Earth's environment.In her lecture series, "Warming Up to the Truth: The Real Story About Climate Change," astrophysicist Dr. Sallie Baliunas shared her findings Tuesday at the University of Texas at Tyler R. Don Cowan Fine and Performing Arts Center.


Dr. Baliunas' work with fellow Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics astronomer Willie Soon suggests global warming is more directly related to solar variability than to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, an alternative view to what's been widely publicized in the mainstream media.


http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20080213/NEWS08/802130360

The sad truth is "Why would these people support something that is so horribly unprovable?" well lets see....
1. Is it becuase they truly CARE about the enviornment?

UHMM no their biggest promoters (ALBERT OWLGORE) still burn fossil fuels left and right..so they can't be ALL that concerned

The biggest polluters (india and China) are curiosly left out of any protocols

2. Could it be for MONEY???$$$$$$$???

Hmm carbon "credits" which are like ELEVATOR passes were for freshmen in a one story Highschool....WEEEEEELLLLL it is

Lookie here everyone included in the "you must suffer" plan is successful...the people getting the MONEY in the redistribution are...LEECHES off society....

How many religious wars do we have started XL?

Sorry trying to diagram this sentence....?


Let see...I personally HAVEN'T started any religious wars....okay I may have been responsible for the worst breach in Franco-American relations since the French and Indian wars...but that was 1983 and it wasn't ALL my fault. (LOL)


Now there have been a lot of Christian Wars started, as with every religion its the Zealots we must all watch out for...(Hint hint..think Islamo Zealots right now) the problem with ANY religious Zealotry is that eventually it becomes easy to overthrow that belief and replace it with another that is just as bad.

Say we get EnviroSocialisim going REALLL good here. It would be a small step from the "counter Captialisim" Pro Government control to a religion the encourages, Submission to the "POWERS" limited education to prevent "debate" or Disgreement, and the Murder of those people who Do Disagree....(okay this may be tough but think Wahabbist Islam....)

Pythons could squeeze lower third of USA

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
As climate change warms the nation, giant Burmese pythons could colonize one-third of the USA, from San Francisco across the Southwest, Texas and the South and up north along the Virginia coast, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps released Wednesday.
The pythons can be 20 feet long and 250 pounds. They are highly adaptable to new environments.

Two federal agencies — the USGS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — are investigating the range of nine invasive snakes in Florida, concerned about the danger they now pose to endangered species. The agencies are collecting data to aid in the control of these populations.

They examined Burmese pythons first and, based on where they live in Asia, estimated where they might live here. One map shows where the pythons could live today, an area that expands when scientists use global warming models for 2100.

"We were surprised by the map. It was bigger than we thought it was going to be," says Gordon Rodda, zoologist and lead project researcher. "They are moving northward, there's no question."

Burmese pythons were introduced to the USA as part of the pet trade. The first specimens in the wild were discovered in the mid-1990s in the Florida Everglades, released by owners who no longer wanted them, says Skip Snow, a wildlife biologist with the National Parks Service in the Everglades.

By 2003, there was evidence the snakes had established breeding colonies in the wild. Florida began regulating their sale and ownership Jan. 1.

If federal officials had to worry only about Florida, it would be "decades" before the pythons move into other states, Rodda says. But people keep dumping pythons they don't want into the wild. "We just learned about some that had been released in Arkansas," he says.

The Burmese python is not poisonous and not considered a danger to humans. Attacks on humans have involved pet owners who mishandle and misfeed the snakes, Snow says. In Florida, they eat bobcats, deer, alligators, raccoons, cats, rats, rabbits, muskrats, possum, mice, ducks, egrets, herons and song birds. They grab with their mouth to anchor the prey, then coil around the animal and crush it to death before eating it whole.

If you see one, don't attempt to engage it. Leave the area, note the location and notify the authorities.

Calling climate change "the civil-rights movement of the 21st century," evangelical Christian leaders gathered at a daylong environmental conference in Longwood Thursday.

Global warming is "an offense against God," said the Rev. Richard Cizik, vice president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals, at Northland, a Church Distributed. "America needs our biblical outrage. We as a nation will face a judgment from God if we don't do this."
