Poor things are eating contaminated plankton or something. :( Global climate change, we are not working fast enough.

1. And left to its own devices, the private sector will do nothing to correct the problem

This is a clear case of where the Government has to step in and corral the industries that are polluting the water, destroying the pelicans' food sources, and spewing carbon dioxide into the air.

3. Polar bears and pelicans, how can those responsible live with themselves?

5. "the private sector" screw em, we're in this mess because we left it

8. The public sector isn't much of an improvement these days...

generally because they only want to cut costs and ride in bathtub drain pipes, per Grover Norquist. No, not the muppet but he acts like one.

2. Is this a global thing or confined to one region?

Cuz if it's just West Coast pelicans I don't care since I never go there

:sarcasm:, in case you couldn't tell

4. Only the west coast was discussed.

7. Whew

I love going out to the Outer Banks in NC and watching pelicans.

They're so freaking cool. We took a sea kayak out on the Pamlico Sound and watched them dive bomb for food. Freaking amazing. Beautiful birds.

6. I've actually heard that argument on this board

"I don't care if the Arctic and Alaska melt because I'll never visit those places".
