Are you insinuating that man made co2 is essential for vegetation prosperity?

Vegetation thrived much better before man started to exploit the earth.

Has anyone ever seen what is left after the oil companies move a land drilling oil rig? The ground is poisoned for years to come and that eventually gets into the ground water. I agree the same rules should apply to all 50 states and our territories too. We have got to stop killing the planet folks cuz if we don''t we''re next.

Not to worry about this one. The way the deforestation of South America''s Amazon jungle has occurred there aren''t enough plants left to consume all the CO2 already.

Alaska is right ,we must also make very strict rules for Florida polar bears,then all is fair.

Hey, now there is a fair and reasonable solution, but we also need to apply the same rule to the polar bears in AZ, NM, CA, and HI. Fortunately we don''t have no polar bears in TX.

We must round up the environmentalists and the animal rights activists and the drug addicts and the child molestors and all the other deviants and put them all on an island and test out the M.O.A.N (Mother of all nukes)

You present two arguments that have problems, the first, Industries have cried for years that failure to get their way would result in lost jobs, we gave them their way, and the jobs were lost anyway. I call that the "knife to the throat of the working class" threat, the automakers were masters of it.

Second, since we don''t create all of the CO2, reducing our emissions will not result in extinction. Before the industrial revolution, and on back through history, we had far less man made pollutants and toxic substances in the air, plant life did just fine.

It is our accelerated contribution that is disturbing the balance, and it is that disturbance that is causing species to die off.

While you all are gunning for industry, think for a minute. No businesses/industries, no jobs, no money to buy food, shelter, clothing. Maybe when we''ve shut down all the energy industries, without anything to replace them, you''ll look around and wonder where everything went. You can''t run everything on solar and wind. BTW, when you get rid of the CO2, all vegetation will die out. No body is thinking about the consequences of this cr^pola. I''m all for saving wildlife...I''ve been involved the the fight for seals, eagle, cougars, bears of all kinds, mustangs, all the big cats, gorillas, and on and on. But, please, leave humans a little room...

This is what should be done. All wild carnivorous animals need to go to adversion therapy so they they will only eat berries and nuts.

If you idiots can''t handle life cycles....gawd how immature and childish of you...I give up

[sistatee-2009]

Don''t polar bears kill baby seals? They grab them and bite them and tear their guts out; right in front of their mommas. I ask you. Is that GREEN?

[jsilver2th]

You''d better be nice to these "people" or they will probably go out and shoot the bears...

Shame Shame Shame

We don''t have Polar Bears here in Oregon...

Oh is that why they target Alaska??

[deacon20081]

I would much rather the business''s become extinct than the Polar Bears.
The new Democratic Majority and President will have some work to do, to Overturn All of Bush''s crapp.

[lovesamerica]

The bears are in trouble,big trouble. Messing with their environment should be stopped,let the bears live!!!

[gramto8]

With a lot of luck and good people voting to rid our government of the idiots who decide that $$$ is more important than protecting our natural resources, perhaps next years we can reverse the stupid rules to cover ALL businesses, not just Alaska!
