Somehow they got Big Government to leave them alone, at least a little bit. Feds acknowledge that implementing a new rule to protect Polar Bears from “Global Warming” won’t really won’t protect the bears any more than they already are. From warming weather. Which there hasn’t been for at least 15 years.
Obama Interior Secretary Decides Not to Use Polar Bear to Force Global Warming Policies
The Obama administration on Friday let stand a Bush-era regulation that limits protection of the polar bear from global warming, saying that a law protecting endangered species shouldn’t be used to take on the broader issue of climate change.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said that he will not rescind the Bush rule, although Congress gave him authority to do so. The bear was declared threatened under the Endangered Species Act a little over a year ago, because global warming is harming its habitat.
Salazar said rescinding the Bush rule “would provide no more protection for the polar bear and result in uncertainty and confusion about the management of the species.”
"If that's Al Gore, I get dibs."

And has anyone seen Al Gore lately? Surely the DC snow cave he took refuge in has melted by now.
