The biggest environmental story of 2006 was also the most surreal.

At the height of the Christmas season, with lovable polar bears hawking soft drinks on TV commercials across America, the Bush administration issued a proposal to list the snowy icon as a threatened species. The media frenzy was swift and global.

And puzzled. The White House has denied the reality of global warming for so long and has suppressed and censored so many government reports on climate change. Why was it now declaring that global warming is not only real but killing polar bears?

Comparing the polar bear to Nixon's Cambodia and Kennedy's Bay of Pigs, Time magazine concluded: "Bush may never have encountered an eye he wasn't willing to at least consider poking. But even for him, the polar bear may have finally proven to be a fight too far."
