Federal report: Polar bears in peril due to global warming
AP via Yahoo News ^ | 7/2/2015 | Mark Thiessen

Polar bears are at risk of dying off if humans don't reverse the trend of global warming, a blunt U.S. government report filed Thursday said.

"The single most important step for polar bear conservation is decisive action to address Arctic warming," the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a draft recovery plan, part of the process after the agency listed the species as threatened in 2008.

"Short of action that effectively addresses the primary cause of diminishing sea ice, it is unlikely that polar bears will be recovered."

Halting Arctic warming will require a global commitment, said Jenifer Kohout, the Fish and Wildlife Service's regional program manager and a co-chair of the polar bear recovery team.

"In the meantime, the Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners are committed to doing everything within our control to give the bears a chance to survive while we await global action," she said during a teleconference Thursday.

What’s wrong with evolution?

The polar bears need to evolve.

"Blunt," as in stupid, dull, simple-minded, inaccurate? Like that?

It's all of the things you mention but it's primarily part of the Obama propaganda campaign to spook the public leading up to the big Global Warming conference in Paris this November. In the coming months you'll see many more such Ecopolypse lies from the warm-mongers, domestic and foreign, as our Marxist President plans to cap his legacy with a global agreement that will destroy American capitalism.

Polar bears have only been around for about 10,000 years. They evolved from Grizzly bears during the Little Ice Age.

, it could begin seeing global warming's ill effects as soon as 2025 because of the dramatic loss of sea ice in this part of the Arctic.

This information is brought to you by the experts who only get the three day forecast right 55% of the time.

Caution must be exercised because sometimes the green ones will make you sick.

I’ve been trying to get this out as much as possible, people need to realize what’s actually happening. Global warming is and always was an alarmist myth. We’ve been in a cooling period for years, the last 2 drastic winters are not possible in a global warming situation.

The ice caps didn’t melt by 2003, or 2013 whichever prediction you listen to. NASA started tracking the ice caps by satellite in 1987. At that time they were actually 5% larger than normal, and shrunk slightly for a few years, and are now 5% larger than that if I remember correctly. Ocean levels haven’t risen drastically as predicted, the hottest summer on record was 1997.

Here is a nice article about it

http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/dark-winter-cold-global-cooling/2014/11/16/id/607672/

Check the Newsmax channel if you can get it, they air a documentary called Dark Winter occasionally, I’ve watched it twice. Very interesting, and Casey does a very good job of explaining what is happening with reduced solar activity and what it implies.

You can order the book here

http://iceagenow.info/2014/09/dark-winter-sun-causing-30-year-cold-spell/

Also, from what I remember of science class long ago, we’re about due for a major ice age. This mini one might transition into a major one, to quote from a post in the comments section of that page. Interesting comments there too, and a little research can turn up a lot of good info.

Six figure salary out of our pockets to misinform the public on what weather is. Pretty good gig I suppose?

True, but really competitive. Supply cost of b.s. is pretty low.

Same old lie, told often and loudly, will eventually be believed.
