Bear Bears the Brunt of Global Warming
Most times, homeowners get scared and trigger-happy when a bear shows up on their porch. But not so with this befuddled bruin, which instead solicited sympathy from residents. 
The bear--a mere 25-lb, orphan black bear cub--missed hibernation in October, and is instead scrounging for dog food, dead birds, anything it can find in Anchorage back yards.
Why is this “little guy” out and about, when he should be curled up into a ball of snoozing fuzz? It’s possible that the cub didn’t hibernate because he didn’t have a mother to guide him, or because it was just too darn warm. It's not just polar bears whose habitats are being turned upside down by global warming. Now, the clime's climbing times may be disrupting bears' biological clocks, which rely on a combination of cold temperatures and scarce food to send them to their lairs. Says, the Alaska Zoo website “Bears will often wake up if disturbed or if temperatures become suddenly warmer. In some temperate areas where food remains available, bears may not even hibernate.”
But naturalists are not giving up yet: this black bear cub will be taken to a more remote part of the state and introduced to a small, straw-lined shelter in hopes he will settle down for the ever-warmer winter.

Take a peek at this site, it shows how Co2 is benifiting our planet. This is just it i'm sick of you people putting a cute picture of an animal to guilt people into cutting Co2. Animals structuraly adapt didn't anyone learn this in school? The facts are out there, you just have to dig through all your BS information on global warming.
David suzuki and national geographic are predicting a mini ice age for 2012, does this ring a bell anyone? This was predicted 25 years ago and it didn't happen. You guys are goign to have a hard time convincing people your science is creditable after 2012 comes and goes.
100 million years ago the planet was tropical, actualy 8 degree's hotter than it is now and cooled down naturaly. Many argue that climate change does not happen rapidly naturaly, this is a very misinformed opinion. Does the mini ice age that pushed the vikings off greenland ring a bell? Does anyone recall the medi evil warming period? Perfect examples of rapid climate change happening natural.
There's not much I can convince brainwashed people about so i won't bother typing anymore, but maybe one day you guys will actualy try to do some real work in saving the planet.
"maybe one day you guys will actualy try to do some real work in saving the planet."
But didn't you just say the planet doesn't need saving? So what are you smoking, mister?
