Endangered Polar Bears: Is The Wolf at the Door? Or Is It Vanishing? And What About Those Polar Bears?

Is there a connection between our vanishing wild life and our nose diving economy?

Lots of people feel that the wolf is at their doors.

Many pending retirees are postponing their retirement dates, because they're worried about their futures. The linkages between oil culture, world wide food shortages, plunging markets, rising gas prices and dwindling wildlife are clearly drawn.

You have federal officials doubting that THE FACT of global warming is a product of our oil based culture. It is melting the ice caps and threatening the survival of polar bears.

Yesterday the Dept of the Interior declared polar bears an endangered species.

And at the same time the Secretary of the Department of the Interior said "now don't link that to carbon emissions in the atmosphere!" How blind is that!?!

And then you have the following situation described by the National Wildlife Federation:

The situation: Wolves, grizzly bears, moose and other animals are wandering out of protected areas onto grazing ranges where they present a threat to the livestock. Ranchers have purchased grazing privileges in these areas, so the federal government is obligated to protect the ranchers’ livestock. To do so, they often must kill the wild animals who wander into these territories.

The opportunity: Ranchers in the Dunoir region of Wyoming have agreed to vacate their 35,000-acre grazing allotment in the Shoshone National Forest, near Yellowstone. The federal government will permanently retire this vital habitat so imperiled wildlife can roam free here.

The need: National Wildlife Federation must raise $150,000 to compensate the ranchers so they can secure grazing privileges elsewhere.

The great news: You can protect imperiled wildlife in the Dunoir region - and across the nation - for only about $4 an acre through our Adopt-a-Wildlife-Acre program. It’s like having your own wildlife preserve!

It must be abundantly clear that what we have been doing economically is NOT working and that we now must change and do something radically different with our individual lives and our society.

This is an urgent moment to reFIRE nationally and individually.

Vision:  AS you look inside and jot your notes of what you like and what pleases you and what interests you, words may come into your mind. Pictures may come into your mind.

Or you may be drawn to an object that seems to have meaning for you. Just describe those in your notes and pop them in your dream folder. 

You may be the one to have a vision of how to turn back carbon emissions and get the polar cap frozen again and save the polar bears. There are only about 35,000 bears left and all may be extinct by mid-century.

Nome, Alaska's huge electric tower was felled recently and people reduced their electrical usage enormously. Many in Nome started doing what I remember us doing when I was a child--hanging out their wash. Does anyone else remember the smell and feel of fresh crisp sun-dried sheets?

So when you think of endangered polar bears gone in our lifetimes--think what can I do today to reduce my carbon footprint?

And rather than firing up the clothes dryer! reFire your creativity.

Let's have polar bears and wolves in our national backyard and not have the wolf at our doors!

Sorry to tell you, but there is no need to get worked up over Polar Bears. There are 5x as many of them today as there were 30 years ago. The Endangered Species bit is a smokescreen generated by Marxist environmentalists to monkeywrench capitalism.
