Hey Do you guys remember Dirk Kempthorne (Secretary of the Interior) ? Me neither! But I'll tell you who he is.
Hes the savior of the Polar Bears getting them on the Endangered Species List!!!
WoooHoooo!!
That was done because Core Ice in the Polar Regions were melting and their living spaces were becoming obsolete right?
WRONG! lets get educated first then get involved.
Heres parts from his interview on the Glenn Beck Show today:
Excuse me, he put them on the "Threatened List" first and then put them on the endangered list to gain more protection for these great animals.
But lets find out why:
***************************************************************************************
Glenn Beck asking about Polar Bear Population:
GLENN: Population has gone up from 5,000 to 25,000.
INTERIOR SECRETARY KEMPTHORNE: It has. And much of that is based on hunting has been restricted. In this ruling we found oil and gas activity has no effect on the polar bear and since 1972 we have been operating under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which is more stringent than the Endangered Species Act. So on this ruling I simply married the two together so that the activities of those that have been operating for 30-plus years under Marine Mammal Protection Act, they understand how it works and so it doesn't change how they operate.
(Oh so, the drastic reduction in their numbers over the past few decades have been from Illegal hunters.
Hmmmm Thats not what Ive been reading in every newspaper, magazine, and web site for the past 5 years)
So im starting to get it now. Maybe Al Gore was just really misinformed. Interestingly enough Al Gore took a challenge last year as well to prove that energy conservation would be part of the solution to help slow down Green House gasses. So, he monitored his own Kilowatt (Electric use) in his own home for the period of one year.
Being the King Hell Advocate of Global Warming I bet the reduction of the electricity he used would be a monumental example for all of us to follow in the near future right?
WRONG!
His Electrical usage is up 10% (in kilowatts) from last year. His mansion in Nashville requires the same amount of electricity to power 23 average homes. ( or 230 regular homes for a month) Isnt this the same guy who is telling us all to shrink our own carbon footprints by taking cold showers, not turning on the AC, drying our clothes on a clothesline, etc? Plus he has a Gulfstream 2 Private Jet that he takes everywhere to discuss reducing our carbon footprint.
Oh the irony!!!
