Save the Polar Bears With Responsible Hunting - Lars Larson - The Corner on National Review Online

There was a lot of talk at SCI about the new U.S. ban, under the Endangered Species Act, on bringing polar-bear trophies into the United States from Canada. The Canadian government grants native people several hundred permits per year to take polar bears. They can sell the privilege to foreign hunters, who in the years before the ban would sometimes spend tens of thousands of dollars on a hunt and pay the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service thousands more to bring back the skin. Foreign hunters want mature males for the most part, but with the trophy ban on, the natives will hunt bears themselves, often taking females and cubs. So a change calculated to “save” the polar bears will likely result in diminishing their numbers.

Public: Who cares about global warming? « Don Surber

As readers can see on the chart, global warming is the least of the cares of the average American. Most people — 72% — do not consider it to be a priority.

[Alarmist Gwynne Dyer isn't happy]: 'Glaciergate' may be deal-breaker - Winnipeg Free Press

U.S. President Barack Obama will do what he can, but his chance of getting even a very modest bill on emissions cuts through the Senate this year has just dwindled to near zero. The American public, worried about its jobs and its health care, doesn't want to hear about it -- and if it does hear, it doesn't believe.

If the United States is out of the game, then China is out, too. Without the participation of the world's two biggest polluters, jointly accounting for almost half of the human race's CO2 emissions, there's not much point in trying for another Kyoto-style deal, even a much better one. If you have any money lying around, put it on geo-engineering techniques for keeping the heat down. We're going to need them.
