What will Palin go after next: Pandas? Kittens? Bald eagles?

Salmon? I know, I know, salmon are hardly endangered - but fine salmon rivers have been ruined by unwise mining practices, and other sources of water pollution. Could happen to Bristol Bay too.

How can she say she’s pro life if she cares not for these wise & wondrous creatures of God?

Thank-you once again for getting the information out about Palin. I saw a Doc film a couple of months back titled “Baked Alaska”. I believe it was shot in 2007. How could it happen that the people of Alaska elected a person without any idea of the fragile nature of that state. It grieves me to know what oil money has cost the natives of that land. Some are fighting back but others have been bribed with the promises of dirty money and jobs in the oil fields. There is a Professer at the U of Alaska
Geophysical Institue named Gunter Weller. He is in the film and tells of the
current conditions there. There is a village called Huslia in the northwest corner where he has doc a 4degree C rise in tempature. The permafrost is melting to such a degree that the lakes there are gone. Drained away!
They now have no fish, no beaver, no muskrats. no ducks or geese to hunt. In Anwar there is a tribe that is fighting HER, Bush and big oil. Evon Peter is the village chief he’s a young man with a great heart and a warrior spirit, they are Caribou People and as the ex-map maker formaly with the USGS tells in the film the drill site for oil is the same area that the Caribou calf their young. The map maker lost his job when he posted a map to the web that showed the area as vital to the Caribou.In Alaska the goverment is spending $36 million a yr. on repairs to roads and infrastructure damage due to perm-frost melt. Have’nt seen it in the news have you??

“Well, if Palin can actually see the whales from downtown Anchorage…”

then,

1. Global warming has raised ocean levels. We’ll see what that causes human beings to do …

2. She’d shoot them, skin them, eat them, and name one of her children “Ambergris.” (I’d say “Caviar,” but she’d have to know the difference between a Beluga and a Sperm whale.)

At one time, several (many) decades ago, the Alaska Fisheries section of the Alaska government offered bounties on bald eagles (and also arctic grayling). At that time they thought this would increase salmon populations.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have forwarded your blog to several Obama lists. I found your blog site today listed in an article in the NY Times, on the Candidates agreeing on Global Warming. As would be expected, McCain has recently backed off an aggressive approach to limit greenhouse gas emissions, citing the current state of the economy. Obama has not changed his stance, saying that funding alternative fuel research will create jobs.
