“Unendangered” Polar Bears Threat for Eskimo Food Source
May 19, 2008
Polar bear populations have increased by five times since the 1950s and 1960s leaving many “confused” by the U.S. Department of Interior’s decision to list polar bears as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act,. Polar bear numbers have dramatically increased to at lest 25,000 bears now from an estimated 5,000 then. There are so many polar bears in some areas their hunting is depleting seals a main food source from native Eskimo’s.
The decision to do so appears to be based entirely on “unproven computer models.” William P. Horn, former assistant secretary of the Interior for Fish, Wildlife and Parks in 1985-1988 (responsible for the ESA program) said, “It would be a mistake to list the presently healthy and sustainable polar bear populations as a threatened species under the ESA.”
In His so-called documentary Al Gore shows a polar bear struggling to stay afloat on an ice cube sized iceberg but, the scene was later to be proved it was contrived just as the use of another movie’s Styrofoam glaciers calving off icebergs to “prove” his claims which was completely false.
