Says[/b] [i]December 28, 2006[/i] The Bush administration wants to add polar bears to the endangered species list as a result of the ice melting in the Arctic. Global warming is being blamed for harming the bears' habitat, but global warming skeptics are unconvinced. "We are making this proposal because scientific review of the species by the Fish and Wildlife Service found that populations may be threatened by receding sea ice, which polar bears use as a platform for many activities essential to their life cycle, including hunting for their main prey, arctic seals," Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said Wednesday. "There is concern that their habitat may literally be melting," he said. Speaking during a conference call briefing, Kempthorne said the current number of polar bears worldwide stands at 20,000-25,000.

Many experts on the Arctic say that global warming is causing the ice to melt and that the warming is at least partly the result of the buildup in the atmosphere of heat-trapping gases emitted from automobile exhausts and industrial smokestacks. The plight of the polar bear has been pointed out by environmentalists as a symbol of global warming caused by humans.
