Offshore Drilling Ban to be Lifted by Bush

The bears can drown if too much ice melts in their area. This happens seasonally, regardless of whether a larger warming trend is occurring; the ice re-forms every year, otherwise the bears wouldn't be there.

With regard to the animal photos, they are not doctored as far as I know. Caribou in more desolate areas also like the warmth of the heated pipelines. I think photos help to demystify a lot of what is being discussed, which can get very abstract and emotional sometimes. I would like to see photos of some of the negative effects such as leaks as well, to put that into perspective too. We have all acknowledged that sometimes things will go wrong.
