Iceless Ice Bears

It's a good day for the polar bears, but it's been a bad year .

The New York Times reported today that the U.S. Interior Department declared polar bears an endangered species because of melting sea ice.

The more the ice melts, the more the bears' habitat and hunting ground disappears. You may have heard about the bears drowning or starving to death because of melting sea ice. It's really quite sad.

SO, it's great that our government is finally acknowledging a problem and adding the bears to the endangered list. I'm wondering what steps they're going to take to actually put a stop on global warming, though.

My guess is nothing will happen until the Bush administration is gone, provided another Republican administration doesn't take its place.
