Polar Bears Endangered

No not those guys who jump into frigid waters.  The REAL polar bears.

W.H.: Polar bears not 'endangered'
The Obama administration is sticking with a George W. Bush-era decision to deny polar bears endangered species status.


In a court filing Wednesday, the Fish and Wildlife Service defended the previous administration’s decision to give the polar bear the less-protective “threatened” species designation, a move that will frustrate environmentalists who hoped for stronger protections under the Endangered Species Act.

Boy this admin has been backing off on a little too much lately. But why back off on this topic?
Listing the polar bear as “endangered” as a result of global warming could open the door to using the Endangered Species Act to regulate greenhouse gases, an outcome the Obama administration has opposed.

Sounds like "wallets" and special interest to me.
