Ever since Al Gore’s lie-fest misrepresented this it has continued to grow until the face of the cute majestic polar bear has become the face of the Eco Alarmists.

Every day I see Tv commercials bemoaning the plight of the mighty creatures, sad m…

Its a well known fact that funding tends to dry up, and not get extended, when you come to conclusions different from what the forces providing funding want.

I would also add, that as soon as Lawyers get involved in science, science becomes a matter of opinion, not fact.
Face it, Judges are NOT equiped to decide scientific fact, just legal opinion…

First of all, grants for research are not pay-for-play; you get the funding, THEN do the study. Thus, the issue is residual bias from the “gratitude” from providing funding as I was saying, not some quid pro quo arrangement as you imply. As for future expectations of funding coloring their findings, you can always pick up funding from the other side: if Exxon drops your funding b/c you’re too liberal, the US gov’t, UNESCO, G. Soros, etc will gladly pick it up.

As for the judges: um, that’s kinda what I said… I’m not sure how you’re disagreeing.
oh, and PS, relying on the statement “It is a well known fact” without some sort of further proof is itself a logical fallacy.

conservative animal rights activist = oxymoron of the day.

That’s not an oxymoron at all. A conservative animal rights activist just understand that the rights of the human animal come first.

[The earth has actually been cooling]only since January 2007, but it hasn’t been warming since 1998.

Thanks for the info and the link, Larry.

there are more polar bear today than there were in the 50s when market hunting pushed polar bears to near extinction — Today there are 3x as many as the 50s.

I thought I read something like that recently. So the whackos are “predicting” that the polar bear will become endangered someday. While they’re predicting, what will the weather be one week from tomorrow?

You’re just saying that because you know animals can’t speak, right, Mr. Smartypants?

My guess is we’ll all see it within the next few years.

Socialism/Communism had NEVER worked.

That is what Rodham and Obama are selling.
Free lunch. Someone else pays. Take EXXONS profits.

But don’t touch OBAMA nor RODHAMS book advances nor residuals.

When we American industry is completely CASTRATED and American business is REGULATED beyond profitability.
WHO PAYS FOR RETIREMENTS?
WHO has a PROFIT MOTIVE to be CREATIVE and to RESEARCH??

Meanwhile, Obama and Rodham have a “PAID SPEECH” to give.

There are more polar bears than ever.  That’s right.  More polar bears than EVER.  So what does Bush’s Interior Dept. do?  It puts the polar bear on the “threatened” list, invoking the Endangered Species Act, which will giver th…
