Stuck On Stupid

8/02/07-I had to resurrect this post with the global warming fallacy being pushed ever so aggressively again.

It was only a matter of time before the moonbat scientists would make a claim such as this…

Polar Bears, because of toxic waste chemicals such as the ones used to manufacture products like Scotchgard, are causing polar bears to become “multisexual” in genetic makeup. In other words the bears are hermaphrodite.

This compliments of the Independent:

Wildlife researchers have found new evidence that Arctic polar bears, already gravely threatened by the melting of their habitat because of global warming, are being poisoned by chemical compounds commonly used in Europe and North America to reduce the flammability of household furnishings like sofas, clothing and carpets.

A team of scientists from Canada, Alaska, Denmark and Norway is sounding the alarm about the flame retardants, known as polybrominated diphenyls, or PBDEs, saying that significant deposits have recently been found in the fatty tissues of polar bears, especially in eastern Greenland and Norway’s Svalbard islands.

Studies are still being carried out on what impact the chemicals might be having on the bears, but tests on laboratory animals such as mice indicate that their effects can be considerable, attacking the sex and thyroid glands, motor skills and brain function.

There is also evidence that compounds similar to the PBDEs have contributed to a surprisingly high rate of hermaphroditism in polar bears. About one in 50 female bears on Svalbard has both male and female sex organs, a phenomenon scientists link directly to the effects of pollution.

“The Arctic is now a chemical sink,” declared Colin Butfield, a campaign leader for the Worldwide Fund for Nature, which last month indicated that killer whales in the Arctic were also suffering from elevated levels of contamination with fire retardants as well as other man-made compounds. “Chemicals from products that we use in our homes every day are contaminating Arctic wildlife.” …

What wasn’t publicized about the study is that the Polar Bears are now able to walk through fire without out even a hint of anything more than a light suntan. They are also attracted to marsupials.
