Enviornmental "crisis"

Recently, everyone seems to be obsessed with "going green" and "saving the planet". I agree to some extent in that we shouldn't be wasteful with our recources, and we should take care of the planet. But, some people are extremely concerned, especially about animals like the polar bear. A recent article showed that their numbers are dropping rapidly because of human threats and global warming. If current warming trends continue, this article states that two-thirds of all polar bears including all of Alaska's polar bears will be extinct by 2050! And apparently the only way to stop it is to stop global warming... Sarah Palin is quoted in saying, "I strongly believe that adding them to the list is the wrong move at this time, and my decision is based on a comprehensive review by state wildlife officials of scientific information from a broad range of climate, ice and polar bear experts." Many polar bear lovers are furious at the governor for not thinking they are in danger.
