WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The United States delayed a
decision on whether global warming threatens polar bears,
saying on Monday new data and public comment required more
time. Environmentalists vowed to sue for quicker action.

bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act is
Wednesday but Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, told reporters it would take as much as a month more
to analyze all the information.
