Al Gore have anything to do with this?

[beethovenfan]

Killed by global warming, no doubt.

[duffmadison]

look at that polar bears died before global warming. Go get Al Gore.

Samson killed 20 thousand with the jawbone of an ass.
Algore will kill 20 thousand asses with the jawbone of a polar bear........

An article out of the BBC San Fran branch on polar bears and not one single mention of climate change or global warming?

Some reporter is gonna be out of a job tomorrow.

So Polar Bears’ nearest cousin is the Brown Bear (Grizzly Bear). Not a big surprise. Didn’t realize that Homo Sapiens has been around longer than Polar Bears.

Maybe this will help the box office receipts of “The Golden Compass”.

Of course, one should never question the evolutionists; their theories should be accepted at face value.

“the specimen is perhaps 110,000 or 130,000 years old.”

“one study claiming they evolved less than 100,000 years ago.”

Ignore any inconsistencies. Of course they existed 30,000 years before they evolved. You have to accept that on faith.

"The ice provides a platform from which to hunt ringed, and other, seals."

BS. The ice is a resting place for the seals. If the ice were to go away, the seals would have to head for the beach (as they do elsewhere). The polar bears are quite happy to hunt walrus and humans on land when given the opportunity, so they would have no trouble "adapting" to land bound seals. In any case, the bears do their hunting in the winter, when there is plenty of Arctic ice.

People are going to be upset when they find out the bear fight in Golden Compass wasn’t CGI.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Blam. The jawbone was pulled from sediments that suggest the specimen is perhaps 110,000 or 130,000 years old... The find is a surprise because polar bears are a relatively new species, with one study claiming they evolved less than 100,000 years ago. If the Svalbard jawbone's status is confirmed, and further discoveries can show the iconic Arctic beasts have a deeper evolutionary heritage, then the outlook for the animals may be more positive than some believe. "We have this specimen that confirms the polar bear was a morphologically distinct species at least 100,000 years ago, and this basically means that the polar bear has already survived one interglacial period," explained Professor Ingolfsson.
