This editorial takes on the specific listing quite well.

"Its numbers are actually growing. There might be as many as 25,000, and probably no fewer than 22,000, today while 50 years ago, there were somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000.

Three years ago, Mitch Taylor, director of wildlife research for the government of the Canadian territory Nunavut, told the Edinburgh Scotsman that the growing polar bear population increase is "really unprecedented, and in places where we're seeing a decrease in the population, it's from hunting, not from climate change."

"Never before has a thriving species been listed under the Endangered Species Act, nor should it," said Reed Hopper, an attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation that plans to sue the government over the listing.

Hopper also notes another reason the listing was unwarranted: The polar bear has already survived two global warming eras that were as hot or hotter than the anticipated coming climate change."
