I'm not a global warming fanatic. I do believe in it, and I can sense the urgency, and see how it's not good for people or other living things, etc; however, I could feel myself leaning towards fanatic when I read the email below and got majorly p.o.'ed. I suggest we put Rush Limbaugh on an ice floe and then see how he feels about the subject.
Here's the email from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) BioGem Defenders:
> Rush Limbaugh just called us "creeps" for running our Polar Bear
> S.O.S. ad on television and broadcasting the plight of the polar
> bear across America.
>
> Here's what he has to say ...
>
> "... the ice floe melts into the letters 'SOS,' with the two
> polar bears on top of the SOS! I predicted little children will
> see this and say, 'Mommy, mommy, mommy! The polar bears! The ice
> floe is almost gone! They're going to die! What can we do? What
> can we do?'"
>
> I guess Rush finally gets it! The point of the ad is, of course,
> that the polar bear's sea ice is melting away ... along with its
> future ... and we need to respond quickly.
>
> But Rush and other global warming deniers would stop the Bush
> Administration from doing the right thing and protecting polar
> bears before it's too late.
>
> In the face of their opposition, it's more important than ever
> that you submit your own Official Citizen Comment in favor of
> polar bear protection -- BEFORE THE APRIL 9 DEADLINE -- at
> http://www.polarbearsos.org/takeaction
>
> Then, please forward this email to as many friends as you can --
> to create a blizzard of comments to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
> Service.
>
> Help us stop Limbaugh and the pro-pollution crowd from
> sacrificing the polar bear's future.
>
> Sincerely,
>
> Frances Beinecke
> President
> Natural Resources Defense Council

> P.S. Want to make Rush even madder? If you haven't already seen
> the Polar Bear S.O.S. ad, view it now at
> http://www.polarbearsos.org/donate_rl -- and then make a
> donation to help us keep running it.
