Please sign below to help Protect Polar Bears as Endangered and prevent destructive arctic exploitation. FYI - Shell, is pushing for arctic exploration - having recently withdrawn from the London Array (to be the world’s biggest wind), only investing 1% of its investment in renewable energy, yet making big green claims! Dr. Larch Maxey Swansea University/Prifysgol Abertawe [log in to unmask] www.lammas.org.uk ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Nissen Sent: 12 May 2008 10:10 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [localsustuk] Help Protect Polar Bears as Endangered Dear all, Here is a reference to the decision that has to be made by this Thursday (15th May): http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/us/30bear.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss <http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/us/30bear.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss> There is a clear conflict of interest between, on the one hand, exploitation of the Arctic for oil, minerals, etc. and, on the other hand, protection of the Arctic sea ice, for the sake of the polar bears, ecosystem, sea level rise, climate change and ultimately the survival of humanity. It is crucial that the latter wins. The decision has global implications, so how can the non-US citizen fight for the right decision? One way is to sign the petition: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/t/5243/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1178 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/t/5243/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1178> Please do.

The melting of the Arctic is killing them. Some are already starving and drowning. If global warming is allowed to continue, the Arctic will be entirely ice-free during the summer, dooming polar bears to extinction. The Bush administration has stalled a decision on whether protect the polar bear while it rushes forward with Arctic oil and gas leases. But now a federal judge has ordered the administration to make a final decision by May 15th. A positive decision will immediately protect polar bears, setting the stage for protecting their habitat and developing a long-term recovery program. A negative decision will consign them to extinction. Which will it be? Please sign the petition below urging the Secretary of Interior to list the polar bear as an endangered species and to protect its habitat. With your help, we'll deliver 60,000 signatures to the Secretary by May 15th.
