So filled with double-speak, misinformation, and obfuscation that it's no wonder some news outlets got it wrong (nowhere in this document does it say that "polar bears might go extinct within ten years"). The document does, however, lay out the FWS budget for polar bears over the next five years ‚Äì and it's a real eye-opener.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_polar_bears.jpg
