As the climate warmed from 1950-1999 (it has since cooled for the past 10 years), the population of Polar Bears doubled. Armed with those facts, the USA has declared these white bears threatened. As the euphoria subsides, there are two troubling facts that the average person will need to prepare for. First CO2, a naturally occurring gas that is necessary for life on the Earth to survive, is legally listed as a pollutant by the USA. Second Polar Bears, now that they are threatened by s0-called man-made global warming, will be the impetus for multiple lawsuits.
How so? Now that CO2 is a pollutant which causes global warming and the bears are now threatened by global warming, any emission of CO2 can be challenged in court under US environmental laws. That means any new project or product or baby (that's hyperbolic) must now do some environmental impact study for its carbon output and how it will effect the polar bears. Sadly, it is the poor who will suffer as food prices continue to rise and shortages will ensue as production is slowed.
