Polar bear pander

Washington Examiner Editorial:

The U.S. government says the population of polar bears has increased four-fold since the 1960s, so the bureaucrats whose job security depends on stirring up environmental distress have classified the huge white beasts as an endangered species. Surely Alice in Wonderland has donned a disguise that makes her look and sound exactly like Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne. Alice issued a decision last week under Kempthorne’s signature that effectively mandates nothing can be done anywhere by anybody in the lower 48 states if it increases the greenhouse gases that fuel the global warming that is allegedly melting the Artic ice the polar bears require for survival. It’s hard not to think the government’s left hand doesn’t know what its other left hand is doing on this issue.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the polar bears have increased their numbers from as low as 5,000 in the 1960s to an estimated 20,000 today....

I oppose this anti Darwinism, attempting to revoke the survival of the fittest. In the case of the Polar bear it is even more ridiculous since they apparently like the warmer weather, like most animals and plants. This designation will only add to the disrepute of the environmental movement.
