re: Educate me on Climate Change

30,000 polar bears is a lot. As someone else remarked (remind me where and I’ll link to it), when Al Gore was born the population was just 5,000. Even as recently as 2005 it was estimated at no more than 22,500.

When the population of something explodes six-fold in 70 years that’s a sign that it’s doing pretty well, right? In fact, frankly, at that point it ceases to be a species in any kind of danger and starts to look more like a pest.

According to this modelling polar bears would face a dramatic population decline in response to diminishing summer sea ice levels. Well of course: garbage in, garbage out. If your models are predicated on an untruth – that polar bears are reliant for their survival on summer sea ice – then clearly what they will prove is nonsense.

Inevitably – again, just like the climate alarmists’ models of runaway global warming – the polar bear population decline models have now hit the brick wall of reality.

Far from falling, the latest observational research has shown, polar bear populations have increased.

The polar bears are doing just fine. Better than fine.

It’s time the Trump Administration put an end to the nonsense whereby the US Fish and Wildlife service is effectively acting as an official propagandist for Greenpeace.

It’s time the greenies found an endangered species to champion that actually is genuinely threatened by climate change. They may be some time. As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a species on the planet that is genuinely threatened by climate change. But if any otherwise unemployable environmental sciences and conservation biology graduates want to brave malaria, candiru fish and ebola while seeking out such tragic victims of man’s selfishness and greed, I think we can all agree here that they should go right ahead.
