Guess What’s Missing from Bush Polar Bear Plan

Fight back against dangerous loopholes in the Bush plan for polar bears.NEW YORK (RUSHPRNEWS) JULY 9, 2008 -Guess what the Bush Administration left out when it granted “Threatened Species” protection to the polar bear? The protection! Instead of being a lifeline for polar bears, this plan abandons them to the ravages of global warming. It will NOT help save the polar bear from extinction — because it refuses to crack down on global warming polluters and will do nothing to stop Big Oil’s invasion of polar bear habitat.We must not let this decision stand. The Bush Administration’s abandonment of the polar bear isn’t just cruel — it’s illegal.
