Polar bears have been used as a political tactic by liberals in order to try to make Americans believe in global warming.  Polar bears often inhabit watery areas in order to get food easier.  Photos are taken of them hunting and used as an example of global warming.

According to Mitchell Taylor, who studies the polar bear in Canada,  

:"Polar bears were well developed as a separate species by the Eemian [[interglacial]] approximately 125,000 years ago. This period was characterized by temperature fluctuations caused by entirely natural events on the same order as those predicted by contemporary [[climate change models]]. Polar bears obviously adapted to the changing environment, as evidenced by their presence today. That simple fact is well known and part of the information contained in the reference material cited throughout the petition, yet it is never mentioned. This fact alone is sufficient grounds to reject the petition. Clearly polar bears can adapt to climate change. They have persisted for thousands of years in a period characterized by fluctuating climate. No rational person could review this information and conclude that climate change pre-destined polar bears to extinction."<ref> [http://www.ff.org/centers/csspp/pdf/200701_taylor.pdf Climatic Events – Animals Affected by AGW
