Great, another endangered species listing based on a weather report for Arctic sea ice coverage 70 years from today.  Rather than doing something about the ice, the feds propose to obstruct, delay and shut down oil and natural gas production which does not impact the seals at all.  Add to this foolishness the abundance of polar bears these days which interestingly enough eat the soon to be endangered seals as food.  It won't be the oil patch that removes these seals from the face of the earth.  Rather it will be the white bears.

Note to the native separatists out there falling all over yourselves to put your lands and future in the hands of the feds.  This lunacy is what the feds do every single day.  I think you guys chose the wrong new best friends.  Cheers -
