Presidential Candidates' Positions on Science Issues
By WILLIAM J. BROAD
Published: September 15, 2008
Both presidential candidates have now issued answers to a series of
questions about science policy,
It seems to me that understanding and monitoring the population genetic
structure of grizzlies would be paramount at a time when polar bears are
being threatened by the melting ice cap, considering these species are
capable of breeding with each other and producing fertile hybrids. I'm
no
I have driven a wide variety of field vehicles under a wide variety of
weather and road conditions. I have even driven the military HUMM-V. The
latter would be one of my last choices for a field vehicle -- too big, too
wide, and not much room inside.
But that's not the thrust of this
The study that Senator McCain often refers to is a U.S. Geological Survey
project to estimate the abundance, distribution, and genetic population
structure of grizzly bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem.
The results of our project were recently accepted for publication in the
If I am doing my math right...
bear study was 9/10ths of a cent from each of us.
The 7 billion bale out is $23 dollars from each of us.
gas prices are...how much from each of us?

that go 250 mi on a charge and require 15

Dear all,
I was recently forwarded the email from Ben Lieb concerning the population
declines in African raptors. Although I did not see the previous posting that
obviously spurred this discussion (though I'd like to) I can comment on the
situation for raptors in Kenya and Africa more
Honestly, it might be better if non-federal scientists who are well
versed in this area of research did the writing.

You'all may want to read up on the grizzly bear issue a bit before
choosing sides. This AP story is a good starting point.

The particular bear DNA study that John McCain has been complaining about for
months is the Northern Divide Grizzly Bear Project run by the USGS out of West
Glacier, Montana. Katherine Kendall is the PI, and she has done a fantastic
job. This study is remarkable, both in its scope and
Perhaps a minor point for most, but it seems to me important to read Daly's
actual proposal for a Steady State Economy. Its not so much zero-growth
(although he uses the term no-growth as well) as it is a change from treating

Great! Let's go ahead delist the bears so we can do unto them what we
did unto the wolf in that same part of the country:
