Bush: Come Clean About Snowmobiles in Yellowstone
- Target: President George Bush; Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton
- Sponsored by: Bush GreenWatch, BushGreenwatch.org
So why is the Bush administration actively seeking to reopen Yellowstone to snowmobiles? The administration not only overturned the original ban on these vehicles in Yellowstone, but also appealed a court ruling that reinstated the ban. The federal judge in that case called the administration's policy "completely politically driven" at the expense of sound science.
And now, an internal report prepared by Yellowstone staff shows that four-stroke snowmobiles emit enough noise to cause hearing damage. The Bush administration is championing four-stroke snowmobiles in its ongoing attempt to reverse the snowmobile ban.
The Bush administration needs to be honest with the public about conditions in America's national parks. We call on President Bush and Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton to release to the public all information on the health and environmental impacts of snowmobiles, and to uphold the original ban on these vehicles in Yellowstone National Park.
Dear President Bush and Secretary Norton:
I am writing to urge you to be honest with the American public about the health and environmental impacts of snowmobile use in National Parks, and to uphold the original ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park.
I am concerned about a recent internal report prepared by Yellowstone staff that shows that four-stroke snowmobiles emit enough noise to cause hearing damage. This new evidence of snowmobile’s negative impacts on human health, combined with the decades of scientific studies that led to the original ban on snowmobiles under President Clinton, should be more than enough proof that this ban is in the best interest of park employees, visitors, and wildlife.
Please release to the public all information on the health and environmental impacts of snowmobiles, and uphold the original ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park.
Thank you,
