In 2008, the
Bush administration created a law that prevents any greenhouse gas reduction,
despite the fact that the emissions are what are causing the polar ice caps to
melt and the polar bears to go endangered. The law was, however, deemed illegal by the Fish
and Wildlife Service.
The Obama
administration recently announced that they plan to re-issue this law. If this
law is passed, polar bears will be extinct by 2050. Obama needs to reconsider
the effects of this law, or drastic changes will occur!
It is sad that the re-enaction of this law will be a danger to polar bears and could lead to their extinction. However this problem is a double edged sword because there are underlying causes on why President Obama wishes to reinstate this law and they are economically based, and in this day and age, the economy is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteI really think Obama should put the priorities of the environment over anything else. Once these animals are extinct, there is no looking back. But like Tari previously stated, the economy always wins which is very sad because there is always money to be made; and these polar bears will only last so long.
