The so-called "Western Business Roundtable" (an energy lobby run by a former employee of Vice President Cheney who did PR for him on the energy bill) has sent out an email warning of the “major new threat to all businesses/industries” if the polar bear is added to the endangered species list:

Environmental extremists and activist lawyers are pushing the federal government to add the Polar Bear to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) list. Such a listing would have major negative implications for virtually every business and industry operation in the United States. The ESA is a very powerful law and could subject virtually any human activity in ALL 50 STATES to review and regulation by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bureaucrats if the Polar Bear is listed as threatened or endangered. This will essentially declare “open season” for environmental lawyers to sue to block virtually any project that involves carbon dioxide emissions.

Wonder how many polar bears there are in say Florida?!
