Train wild animals? How would they remain wild then?

We don't need cleaner better fuels, we need vehicles that run on no fuel. Check this out. Tesla Motors
Thats right a sports car already exists that uses no fuel, it simply plugs into your home.

The polar bears could borrow a trick from Evolution to eventually turn in to fish.

I suppose that, along with the image from smugmug.com is your idea of a joke?

As they are not retouched, what does it matter where the images come from? As long as it helps the bears find a new sheet of ice, they can be useful to get the truth out about the Global Warming phenomenon.

SAVE THE POLAR BEARS - STOP VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS

Polar bears are dangerous animals, we will be better off if they dissapear.

C'mon. Don't you want to save the bears by stop driving around town on your errands? You could take a bus, ride a bike, walk or stay home instead.

Think of the bears instead of yourself for a change. They need you.

And how does posting those pictures get the word out about volcanic eruptions?

You have it backward. How do humans stop volcanic eruptions, sunbursts, solar flares, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc?

So how would you save them? Move the bears to Antarctica?

Answer the question instead of skirting around. How does posting pictures help?

Let's say your family is particularly susceptible to cancer. Your chances of getting cancer are heavily impacted by your genetic make up.

So what the hell, go ahead and smoke and get a job in the coveted asbestos installation field.

Get it?

It doesn't matter what the cause is.

And the pictures of polar bears DO help. They elicit sympathy for the cause...like "save the whales".

Platitudes like the one you offer are no different - and no less incorrect - than the jackass part-time Christian who says, "I'm going to heaven because I'm nice to people." It so misses the point.~Impugn

I disagree. A picture or two is fine, and may help, but IMO, a surfeit of pictures in damn near every thread is uncalled for, and doesnt help that much.

Again, my apologies. You should be able to see my face although occasionally, that doesn't help either. I was actually making a subtle jab at Kinetic by pointing out that 1000 pictures of Polar Bears is likely to bite him in the rear (tee hee), in his argument against attempting to save them.

Perhaps if he is convinced of that fact, he may refrain from his gluttonous use of bandwidth.

You know, I was going to post something along these very same lines myself - I just re-read your post, and was wondering, hmm, is she really saying this to refute the point about pictures?

LOL - I can be a "tubelight" sometimes. (though in all fairness, that particular post, read by itself, wouldn't necessarily imply anything different from what I thought the first time).

By the way, I love bears - my avatar on other sites is a grizzly. Not saying I don't like Chinese gals, though ...

Me too. I like bears. My mother used to swear that she was protected by some bear spirit or something. They were in her dreams all the time. Then again, she worked in Yellowstone as a youth. Ursa.

My kids and I used to read this book about how to protect yourself in really weird situations. One of them was how to walk in a forest and not be eaten by a bear. We got to giggling and the next thing you know my youngest was running through the house growling "je suis un ours!" (I'm a bear!). Why French? I don't recall.

Most people are really too stupid to realize how very dangerous bears can be and just think they're cute. Great. More power to 'em. If an animal has curb appeal it might just save their neck.
