The Protection...

The Protection was what the Bush Administration left out when it listed polar bears as a “threatened” species. Instead of protecting polar bears from extinction, this plan neglected them and still left them to continue suffering the negative effects of global warming. Basically, this plan refuses to crack down on global warming polluters and will do nothing to stop Big Oil’s invasion of polar bears’ habitat. According to environmentalists,

the Bush Administration’s abandonment of the polar bear isn’t just cruel—it’s illegal.

For this reason, organizations such as Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and their allies are taking the Bush Administration back to court this coming summer, and as in any battle, this will be not easy. The Big Oil and corporate polluters are not going to let polar bears get in the way of their profits without putting up a fight.
