Date: 4/3/2007 5:23:26 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 1670 times "Polar bears are completely dependent on Arctic sea ice to survive, but 80 percent of that ice could be gone in 20 years and all of it by 2040. Polar bears are already suffering the effects: birth rates are falling, fewer cubs are surviving, and more bears are drowning. The Bush Administration's proposal to list the polar bear as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act is a crucial first step toward ensuring a future for these magnificent Arctic creatures. Yet the administration's proposal does not designate "critical habitat" for protection, even though melting habitat from global warming is the main threat to the polar bear's survival. "

"Rush Limbaugh just called us "creeps" for running our Polar Bear
S.O.S. ad on television and broadcasting the plight of the polar
bear across America.
Here's what he has to say ...
"... the ice floe melts into the letters 'SOS,' with the two
polar bears on top of the SOS! I predicted little children will
see this and say, 'Mommy, mommy, mommy! The polar bears! The ice
floe is almost gone! They're going to die! What can we do? What
can we do?'"
I guess Rush finally gets it! The point of the ad is, of course,
that the polar bear's sea ice is melting away ... along with its
future ... and we need to respond quickly.
But Rush and other global warming deniers would stop the Bush
Administration from doing the right thing and protecting polar
bears before it's too late.
In the face of their opposition, we need your help. Please
forward this email to your circle of friends and urge them to submit their own Official Citizen Comments in favor of polar bear protection -- BEFORE THE APRIL 9 DEADLINE -- at
http://www.PolarBearSOS.org/takeaction
Please get the word out to as many friends as you can -- and
help us create a blizzard of comments to the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service.
Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council"
