They like the white fur--uh, meat.

Let me guess what AP wants us to think .... Bush's fault!

It would be both moral and humanitarian to keep them on a steady diet of greenpissers.

"...longer seasons without ice ..."

Doesn't make sense, I thought AlBore said the earth was boiling up???

What are the polar bears they're cannibalizing living on?

I keep hearing these statistics that say the average temperature at the polar ice caps will increase from 2 to 6 degrees over the next centure but they never tell us what they will increase from and what they will increase to.

For instance. If the average daily temperature at the polar ice caps is 25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, then even if it warms the maximum 6 degrees over the next century to 19 degrees below zero, that means the average daily temperature will still be 51 degrees below the melting point of ice which is 32 degrees.

There is no citation of any independent source in this story giving data that the range of polar bears is seeing a dimishment in their ice cover. The only people saying that in this article are global warming activists. The quote from the US Geological Survey member provides no data regarding any observable diminishment. It also doesn't say who did the study --it implies the US Geological Survey, but does not say this directly.

In short, this sounds like some scary killer bear stories tied to alarmist global warming propaganda.

Near as I can recollect bears ARE cannibals, and always have been. That's why sows are so protective of their cubs around boars. Saw a photo in an article about a scientist tracking a collared grizzly sow. Apparently she tried to defend her cubs from a large male. No sign of the cubs. Not much left of Mom but the collar.

Don't polar bears eat...meat?

I wonder how large the overall polar bear population is now compared to what it was 40 years ago.

Have they migrated south?
