About being stewards of the animals and land. Mentioned that in 60 years, the polar bears will not have enough space to hunt, because of their territory melting away. It was Earth Day Sunday...just interesting. Spoke about how on the sixth day(?), God didn't just humans on the earth, but also the animals and put us in charge.

The Pastor must have read the same article that I did in the Friday Life Magazine supplement to the newspaper. Some people are pushing to put the Polar Bear on the Endangered Species List (even though there are currently 10s of thousands of them) because of their rapidly shrinking habitat.

We should be thankful that some animals are extinct. Can you imagine trying to go backpacking with all those velociraptors chasing you through the mountains?

If they can't hack it then they need to go.

Any truth to this? (http://www.whole-systems.org/extinctions.html)

Looks like someone needs to release some Ebola and kill 90% of the humans.

yes, but at least part of that is because we are contantly more aware of which species are going extinct. We haven't been keeping track of things all that long--but that doesn't account for the entire increase. one species goes extinct, 20 others probably go with it (i don't mean major species, but insects, parasites, etc.)

Man is commited to a slow suicide in about another 100 years we should have total success.

Think of the real estate available in the arctic(who will claim the land?), and there may be oil up there, if we still use it. Drilling will be safer and cost less, with the ice gone. We (someone) could hire the few polar bears to drill for oil, and pay them with the remains of baby harp seals who were skinned over in Greenland, or wherever.(there will be more harp seals, since the smaller number of polar bears won't eat as many as they do now) A new balance in nature.

They also talked about how the disappearance of the polar bear will be nothing but a blip on our everyday radar. Then I started thinking about those cool polar bears at the Tulsa zoo...

I need a polar bear avatar.
