Comments on: New U.S.-Canada MOU on polar bear conservation never mentions sea ice or climate change http://climateprogress.org/2008/05/14/new-us-canada-mou-on-polar-bear-conservation-never-mentions-sea-ice-or-climate-change/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:14:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Mike http://climateprogress.org/2008/05/14/new-us-canada-mou-on-polar-bear-conservation-never-mentions-sea-ice-or-climate-change/#comment-12753 Mike Fri, 16 May 2008 12:30:28 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/2008/05/14/new-us-canada-mou-on-polar-bear-conservation-never-mentions-sea-ice-or-climate-change/#comment-12753 Admittedly the declaration is weak in substance, but ultimately the publicity that has been generated by the announcement is surely beneficial towards promulgating the plight of polar bears to the world at large. The fact that this was a US policy dictates by nature that there will be worldwide scrutiny so even if the policy itself makes no substantive difference, I would hope that people at least have a greater awareness of the threat that these wonderful creatures are under and take steps to do something about it in their own way.

Either he has COPD, or there is a new illness we can attribute to global warming :-) Great photo! Looks like that polar bears tongue is turning blue from lack of oxygen/buildup of CO2.
