DISQUS

I just wish they would go save the bears...personally. Ya know, a hands one "saving." Just like the way that nature, and darwinism, intended.

Now the lefties want to write laws based on a hypothesis? Isn't that just a little bit stupid?

Yeah, but par for the liberal course.

Excuse me, there's more polar bears now than we've ever counted, ever.

Plus they managed to live through the other warm spells.

This polar bear stuff is a fricken lie like the rest of the man-made global warming crap.

A little background: The Natural Resources Defense Council has announced that up to two-thirds of polar bears "could perish by the middle of this century", while in May of 2006, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature added the polar bear to its "Red List" of the world's most imperiled animals, predicting a 30% reduction in the polar bear population in the next 45 years.

Meanwhile, according to both [url=http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/info-books/polar-bear/habitat-&-distribution.htm]Sea World[/url] and the [url=http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/finder/polarbear/item590.html]World Wildlife Federation[/url], the world population of polar bears has increased from an estimated 10,000 animals in 1968 to between 21,000 and 25,000 animals currently.

So while the eco-alarmists are out in force, wailing and wringing their hands, the polar bear population has actually increased by up to 250%!

That's some cam yer runnin' there, Lefty!

Bat,

So...if between one third and two thirds of the polar bear population dies off by the middle of this century, then they'll basically be back to where they started, won't they? At least according to the enviro's own numbers, that is.

There. Problem solved.

Pilgrim,

I could be mistaken, but I recall nothing in the literature to suggest that those on the Left are [i]not[/i] arithmetically challenged. On the contrary...

Of course with the ever diminishing Harp seal harvests, the polar bears are unlikely to be the least bit malnourished.

The Whistler · 1 year ago

Well if there's a problem with the Canadian seal harvest than they should limit or stop[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_hunting] the harvest.[/url]

I fail to see why I should change my behavior.

If you wouldn't club all those baby seals the poor polar bears would have more to eat. It's all your fault.

The bears will cope by moving south and eating people.

Until they meet up with people with guns who own mountain vacation homes and need large fireplace rugs.

The bear populations are exploding and the totalitarian response is to call them "endangered".

Welcome to the reality inverted upside down thinking that is a prerequisite for admission into the "reality based community".

This game they're playing is getting old. "Opposite day" should have went out of style when they were eight years old. It's a little kid game suited to a little kid mentality played by the self proclaimed "intellectuals".

Supply and demand.
