Now we must save the polar bear – so that we can kill it?
In the October 1 Time Magazine – an issue that is dedicated to “who owns the Arctic” – Managing Editor Richard Stengel compares two Arctic regions that have been affected by the warmer swing in temperatures in the northern regions of Norway and Canada.
Stengel reported on two different Arctic attitudes based on what two Time reporters are telling him. In Norway, the people are “delighted” because they are now able to harvest natural gas reserves. But people in Canada’s Nunavut territory are “not so sanguine.”

Capture all the polar bears and move them to Antarctica...........
In Alaska, Shell oil was recently chased out of the Beaufort Sea (Offshore Alaskan North Slope) for fear of disturbing the bowhead whale hunts of the Inupiat.
Don’t harrass the whales; you might prevent their killing.

...something about an icehole.
It’s always in the interests of hunters to protect a species. Where there’s no interest in hunting, or it’s illegal, there’s no revenue, and wildlife is left to the tender mercies of poachers. Ask anyone who knows anything about Africa.

“Now we must save the polar bear – so that we can kill it?”
That seems like a very good reason to me.
Well regulated hunting is the one of the best ways to guarantee the survival of a species.
Never pick up hitch hikers! Especially if they are licking their lips when you stop!................
And there is a lot of snow on the ground according to this sat picture from today. Resolute is pretty close to the middle of this picture.
And about a month ago, the polar bears were having a heck of a time with all the ice which still existed at Resolute at the time. So, the ice melts for a month before it starts freezing back. Big deal. In a few more weeks, Resolute, being very far north will only have a few hours of sunlight each day.
And how come this picture of Resolute from August 8, 1997 has no snow on the ground and open water in the Bay. I thought this year's melt was exceptional? How come there are boats in a community which is frozen in all the time?

Let 'em drown.
