Marathon Pundit: Feds: Too much "speculation" about global warming snowfall blocks wolverine from being named endangered species

The use of the Endangered Species Act to push the global warming and anti-fossil fuel agenda of the left has been, amazingly enough, dealt a rare setback.

From AP:

A top federal wildlife official said there’s too much uncertainty about climate change to prove it threatens the snow-loving wolverine – overruling agency scientists who warned of impending habitat loss for the "mountain devil."

There's no doubt the high-elevation range of wolverines is getting warmer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Director Noreen Walsh said. But any assumption about how that will change snowfall patterns is "speculation," she said.

Walsh told her staff to prepare to withdraw a proposal to protect the animals under the Endangered Species Act.
