Polar Bears On The Endangered Species List

"The Bush administration announced (earlier in the month) that the polar bear will be protected as a threatened species because of the decline in Arctic sea ice from global warming. It's the first time that the Endangered Species Act has been used to protect a species threatened by the impact of climate change."
I have been meaning to post this story for a couple of weeks now but keep forgetting. It is so sad and amazing to me. Global warming is a scary thing in my opinion. How can people deny it and think it does not exist? Click HERE to read an interesting article on NPR's website.

Do you mean guilty because you don't believe in global warming? Grandma!
