Palin Lies - Claims State Wildlife Officials Found "No Reason" For Polar Bear ESA Listing - SMH

[hatrack]

EDIT

Last month, the state of Alaska under Palin's guidance sued Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne in an attempt to reverse his decision to list polar bears as a threatened species. Palin said that scientists' predictions that global warming would eliminate the ice where the bears live in summer were unreliable.

Arctic sea ice shrank to a record low by the end of last summer, and satellites now show that the ice has been reduced to a level very close to last year's with some days remaining before a new winter season begins.

The Anchorage Daily News reported in May that the head of the marine mammals program for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and two other marine mammal biologists on his staff agreed with nine studies the Federal Government cited to justify listing polar bears as a threatened species.

Their email appeared to contradict Palin's assertions that state wildlife officials had found no reason to list the bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Palin wrote in January that she based her opposition to listing the bears on "a comprehensive review by state wildlife officials of scientific information from a broad range of climate, ice and polar bear experts".

2. Palin lied about POLAR BEARS?

A million million people saw them stranded on the ice, desperate, hungry...

I hope one eats her.

3. Polar bears are not god's work. Oil pipelines are god's work...

5. It's scary that people really *believe* that shit ...

They applaud a demented wannabe politician who supports raping the land,
who supports murdering innocent civilians, who supports pollution & greed
and who defends all of this by appeals to their specific flavour of "faith".

The fact that such a nutcase has been designated as a future VPOTUS is
*really* frightening!
