Polar Bears, Polar Bears Everywhere

[L Gilbert]

Why would lefties even THINK about saving Polar Bears, they are white...........

lmao

Where would you find some of these areas where there are no valuable resources, for example, in BC. Could you give a brief description of a couple such spots? My point is that there are wild areas that can be left as wild areas. Even though they are resource rich. In fact I think that people who have spent any time outside of town should be demanding wild parks.

Ok, that is a list of parks, but quite a few of those parks have had resources found within that the BC government, and I presume the federal government have allowed the harvest of. Others I am sure have very merchantable timber, oil and gas, etc which will be increasingly under pressure as time goes by. asked taxslave to point out the areas that he was ascribing as having no value that could be made into parks.

Yes, but that wasn't why I posted. I was pointing out the number of parks in BC already. And that was in repsonse to this: "In fact I think that people who have spent any time outside of town should be demanding wild parks."
We need more parks?

Not necessarily though I wouldn't be surprised if a variety of wilderness ecosystems have not yet been included in the parks system. But I was talking about wild parks, as opposed to those with mining, oil and gas, forestry, tourism etc. going on.

Bring on the global warming....please! Enjoy some real pics!

Ten feet of ice,every year,where is this global warming?

 

[petros]

You do know that in Germany they log in the parks on a sustained basis?

Germany? What do they know about reforestation? 500+ years Oberforsters and Forstmeisters?

You do realize it's 2012, right?

Here's some testimoney from people who actually live there...

Representatives from Nunavut Tunngavik, Kitikmeot Inuit Association, Kivalliq Inuit
Association, Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Inuit Tapirasat of Canada, Nunavut Planning
Commission, Nunavut Impact Review Board, Department of Indian and Northern Development
and Government of Nunavut also participated in the conference.

· Winters are getting shorter, summers are getting longer.

· We are losing the ice in our glaciers and fiords. Permafrost is melting. We see
vegetation growing where ice used to be.

· The sun’s rays are increasing, Inuit need stronger suntan lotion.

· We now see birds and wildlife that we have never seen here before. Ravens are
everywhere, Snow Geese are too numerous.

· Heavier winds can be dangerous, be cautious. Because of Global Warming we could
become subject to catastrophes like hurricanes.

· Caribou meat tastes different now and there are concerns about contaminants and
diseases. We send samples out to labs but never get results back. Caribou hides are
thinner.

· More Inuit are dying from cancers, including skin cancers. We have to find out if this is
from mining or contaminants or from climate change.

· Fall ice forms later and may not be safe to travel on until Christmas

· If trends continue, Hudson Bay (and other areas) may never freeze over. The impact on
wildlife will be tremendous.

· Inuit have to be prepared for the impacts of Global Warming.

· Water levels are getting lower

· Isostatic rebounding

· The floe edge is receding faster

· More ships are traveling through the Northwest Passage, due to the lower ice coverage in
recent years.

Like the Khutzemateen? There are loads of ecological preserves and parks in BC that are relatively tourist- and exploitation-free. They are not a rarity.

What if they find something under it,oil or anything else,then they'll go level the whole park just to gat it.

I haven't seen a leveled park anywhere in BC. Have you?
