Like most contributors to this glorious site, I have a small degree of pessimism regarding global warming and all of it’s variants (Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), Greenhouse Effect, Ozone layers, plastic bags, “rainforest the size of Wales”, etc). By “small degree”, I mean 360 of the fuckers.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Polar Bears. I’ve not met one, but I am sure they are very nice. My problem is the meeja, environmentalists (environ plus mental – couldn’t make this up), pseudo scientists and fucking ignorant journalists.
So, I wandered past this beauty on my daily perusal of the non-mainstream-media (MSM) which, to keep with the climate theme is a “steaming shit-storm of complete crap”. https://order-order.com/2018/04/03/polar-bears-thriving-contrary-predictions/
So that you don’t have to read it all, the details are :-
Polar bear numbers have been stable or risen slightly since 2005, despite the fact that summer sea ice since 2007 hit levels not expected until mid-century (my bit… because it’s a fucking myth, that’s why these so-called predictions are such a load of wank, they are based on computer models, not actual, recorded figures and are then rounded-up and extrapolated to the point of ridiculousness).
The widely predicted 67% decline in polar bear numbers did not occur (see my point above).
As far as is known, the record low extent of sea ice in March 2017 had no impact on polar bear health or survival (my bit… Probably because it squashed the seals into a smaller area, making it easier for the bears to eat their favourite snack, Fuck me, this is not hard to work out).
Some studies show bears are lighter in weight than they were in the 1980s, but none showed an increase in the number starving to death or too thin to reproduce. (my bit again… “Some”. I fucking love that, this is like that shit-cunt organisation the al Beeba, 7 billion people agree something but one daft cunt does not. Probably and actress or air-head 12-year-old musician. Then we hear “Mixed opinions exist, and some dispute the findings” For Fucks Sake).
Zoologist Dr Susan Crockford said:
“Ice levels during the key feeding period in Spring have been good, and prey species have been abundant. It’s not really a surprise that polar bears are doing so well… The fear-mongering from the media and the polar bear specialists is now backfiring… They convinced the world that polar bears were doomed but the facts got out. Now would be a good time to set the story straight.”
Thank goodness there are proper scientists out there to do proper research.
