CALL TO ACTION: SUPPORT THE PRO ENVIRONMENTAL TICKET OF OBAMA-BIDEN
On this blog you’ll find many articles on how hemp can remove the excess CO2 from our atmosphere, the cause of global warming. This article deals with one of the effects that could be reversed if we would just stop living by the rules of dead people and remove government restrictions from nature, starting with the hemp plant.
The governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is leading the state that is suing the US Fish & Wildlife Service for their decision to protect polar bears by putting them on the endangered species list.
The new Vice Presidential candidate, with less than two years experience as governor of the state of Alaska, with ties to big oil, Sarah Palin said regarding the matter:
“We believe that the Service’s decision to list the polar bear was not based on the best scientific and commercial data available.”
Yes, her idea of opposing the Bush Administration is to take a stand against the little they are doing for the environment, since it's in the way of big oil.
As Al Gore pointed out years ago in his film An Inconvenient Truth, all honest scientists are saying that global warming is in process, polar bears are dying now from the experience, and the rest of us are in danger too.Below is the link to the press release about how Palin's Alaska’s does not want polar bears on the endangered species list.

Statement of the Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace, and Natural Resources Defense Council on the State of Alaska's
Lawsuit to Overturn Endangered Species Act Protection for the Polar Bear WASHINGTON— The state of Alaska has filed a lawsuit in federal district court (District of Columbia) challenging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act due to global warming.Statement of Kassie Siegel, climate program director at the Center for Biological Diversity, and lead author of the 2005 petition to list the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act:“The State of Alaska’s challenge to the protection of the polar bear is a lost cause based on discredited, industry-funded attacks on science. This case has no merit, and the Center for Biological Diversity, NRDC, and Greenpeace will be seeking to intervene in the lawsuit and have it dismissed.”Statement of Andrew Wetzler, director, NRDC Endangered Species Project:“The state of Alaska's response is disappointing, but certainly no surprise. They have taken their cues from industry every step of the way.”Statement of Melanie Duchin, global warming campaigner at Greenpeace USA:“Alaska is on the front line of global warming impacts, and the polar bear is our canary in the coal mine. The state's lawsuit isn’t about the science of global warming and polar bears – it is merely doing the bidding of oil companies that want to drill for oil in sensitive polar bear habitat, without any concern for how that oil will impact the climate when it's burned.”# # #The Center for Biological Diversity is a nonprofit conservation organization with more than 180,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places. www.biologicaldiversity.orgGreenpeace is an independent campaigning organization with 2.7 million members worldwide that uses peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions for the future. www.greenpeace.org The Natural Resources Defense Council is a national, nonprofit organization of scientists, lawyers and environmental specialists dedicated to protecting public health and the environment.
