POLAR BEAR PROTECTION = It's not the first time the group has taken on greenhouse gas emissions by using lwas on the books. The center filed the initial petition seeking protection for America's polar bears under the Endangered Species Act because of the ffect of global warming on the animals' primary habitat, Arctic sea ice.
Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne in December proposed listing polar bears as "threatened" and must make a final listing decision neart he end of the year. In polar bears, the beloved and revered symbols of the Arctic, the group has a "charismatic megafauna" to raise the visibility of its cause. For ocean acidification, one fear is the effect on a far tinier organism, plankton.
