The Inuit Indians in northern Canada, who are finding it hard to kill innocent animals like polar bears and whales, blame their problems on "global warming" - a fallacy - and the United States. So they launched a lawsuit against us.
Get ready for the ACLU to take up their cause.
Threatened by warming, Arctic people file suit against US
The people of the Arctic filed a landmark human rights complaint against the United States, blaming the world's No. 1 carbon polluter for stoking the global warming that is destroying their habitat. The Inuit Circumpolar Conference (ICC), representing native people in the vast, sparsely-populated region girdling the Earth's far north, said they had petitioned an inter-American panel to seek relief for Canadian and US Inuit.
"For Inuit, warming is likely to disrupt or even destroy their hunting and food-sharing culture as reduced sea ice causes the animals on which they depend to decline, become less accessible, and possibly become extinct," said Robert Corell, who spearheaded an Arctic climate impact assessment.
President Bush is doing the right thing by dismissing these imbeciles who blame the natural warming of the planet on industrial action in general, and the United States in particular. They need to shut up and get lost. We will not upset our economic well-being so some sub-humans can hunt polar bears and seals.
