Polar Bears

The government deemed that they need protection. It's the first global-warming centric reasoning too. Not only are they going to be illegal to kill, but industry is likely going to be killed too. Make up your minds, do we want to keep jobs here or not? If yes, stop regulating! If no, well, keep it up I guess...
God forbid that a polar bear wonders into a town. No one will be able to legally kill it. Of course, I'm betting the government is going to tell us to wait for our local lawa enforcement agencies to tranquilize it. You can always trust the government to protect you!

Al Gore is right

Al Gore says that the cyclone in Myanmar is a result of global warming. He told NPR yesterday:


And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated. And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.

Gore said that because ocean temperatures are on the rise, extreme and dangerous weather is also on the rise.

Critics of Gore say he's taking advantage of the deaths of thousands of innocent people to promote his political advantage. But, if he truly believes that we must address climate change to stop such disasters and save future lives, doesn't he have an obligation to speak up? If he is wrong about global warming, what harm is there in taking better care of the planet anyways?

Is Gore right to tie Myanmar Cyclone deaths to global warming?

How dare anyone question whether or not it was global warming's fault for all these deaths! Just like all the horrible Asian cyclones, Katrina was due to global warming.

Of course it has nothing to do with the government. Nope, it was global warming's fault that the Burmese government didn't give people proper warning. It was global warming's fault that the levies broke in New Orleans too. And George Bush's. Nope, how are anyone claim the government is incompetent.
