For years we have heard stories about the success that resulted from banning DDT, passing the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and several hunting bans. The bald eagle, the whooping crane and the polar bear was each making a spectacular comeback we were told. Now that it is necessary to change the story and support the Global Warming, we are told that the polar bear population is decreasing. Actually, their population is near 25,000, up from about 5,000 when the ESA passed. Whooping cranes up from 59 to 219. Bald eagles up from The approximately 32 pairs in the 1960s to 435 pairs in 2003.

Is anyone sick of the constant 'doom and gloom' for political purposes? I am.
