Administration to polar bears: “Suck it”
It’s never a good sign when Fark says it best:

It seems that they’ve decided that this whole “endangered species” thing is inconveniencing some construction projects. Solution? Remove the science from the equation. As we all know, no one is against progress so much as a bunch of scientists. Also, it prohibits global warming from being a consideration in such decisions. Translation: We didn’t like polar bears that much anyway.
