Global warming is good for the northern states in America. I never denied that the earth is heating and cooling throughout history.

What I am in serious doubt over is whether humans cause it all and if humans can actually control it. There are many reasons to disagree. For one, the Arctic Ocean was once a balmy 74º. Maybe it's going back to it's original state?

I disagree with the Conservatives.

Conservation Groups Advance Protections for Polar Bear from Global Warming



WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Dec. 28 -/E-Wire/-- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFandWS) is expected to confirm they have formally proposed to list the Polar Bear as "threatened" with extinction under the Endangered Species Act due to Arctic ice melt from global warming. This follows a multi-year court battle by groups to protect the bear from the impacts of global warming in the Arctic, including the rapid disappearance of the Polar Bear's sea-ice habitat.

"This is a victory for the Polar Bear, and all wildlife threatened by global warming," said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity (Center), one of the plaintiffs in the suit.


"This is a watershed decision in the way this country addresses global warming. There is still time to save Polar Bears but we must reduce greenhouse gas pollution immediately."
