::.........pardon me? I just spent more than an hour rewriting the article, and you now implicitly threaten me with a block for dishonesty? I meant that in the sense of "all '''sources''' (that are currently in the article)". I would never seriously claim that I read all articles on the planet about this. I also do not deny that there is discussion about this. But the fact is that the sources in the article regarding the actual facts list global warming as the major threat.

::I take it that this was just a silly communication mistake, yes?

Polar bears have been in the news recently, with "concern" being expressed about them mainly because they add ammunition to the fight to promote the global warming treaty. It's like the "concern" for [[caribou]] expressed when the [[Alaskan pipeline]] was first proposed: environmentalists said they feared the pipeline would hurt the caribou, but it turned out that the oil in the pipeline warmed the tundra, providing extra food for the caribou, which flourished.
So much of environmentalism is false and dishonest that you can't help if a little of the tar from the brush drips on you now and then.
There are also sources that list [[DDT]] as a major threat, but the decision of [[Ruckelshaus]] to ban it went '''directly''' counter to the science; a textbook example of [[politicization of science]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 22:16, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
