The United States delayed a decision on whether global warming threatens polar bears, saying on Monday new data and public comment required more time.(Reuters)

I wish they'd hurry up and tell the polar bears..they're getting nervous.

And you can send your comments from THIS PAGE by scrolling down. After all they do say they want public comment.

You may also sign a petition urging them to pass the Safe Climate Act of 2006.

And, if you are REALLY interested and want to get into the nitty-gritty, follow these fellows in April to learn more of what is happening with the ice: Click Here.

I'd be nervous, too, were I polar bear...and sad.

Most polar bears don't live in the USA chunk of the Arctic. That's perhaps just as well.

PErhaps we should put up a fence to prevent them from sidling in and stealing food from grizzlies and Kodiaks. We could ask W to patrol it after he leaves the White House -- he's used to cold shoulders.

I was reading some page where they were talking about "the Eastern Arctic" - and it struck me that there that that's a pretty strange concept. How can you have an Eastern or Western Arctic?

Well, East North makes as much sense as North East.

As it happens, I live due South of the North Pole, myself. A Happy New to any other Mudcatters who can claim the same distinction.

It's a region, the Arctic, not a point. You go straight in North until you are well into it, and then turn East.
