Americans Realize Polar Bears are Threatened!

So the Americans find the Polar bear to be under stress and just listed them as a threatened species. Can Canada be far behind?

The decision according to U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne is said to be based on science. The science is clear, he says. "Today's decision is based on three scientific findings," he said. "First, sea ice is vital to polar bear survival. Second, the polar bear's sea ice habitat has melted in recent decades. Third, computer models suggest sea ice is likely to recede in the future."

Does anyone still not believe that climate change is happening?
